Letters from the different

On the second day’s session, the
main feature of the day was a

During the march of Moses to
the land of promise the people
murmured and complained.
Moses cried to God for help, his
prayer was answered, and God
sent him help, and sent food for
the people, but they did not even
thank God for the blessing, and
the result was that the wrath of
God was kindled against them and
he smote tlfem with a great plague.
God is blessing this fair south
land of ours w ith plenty, and pros
perity. Are we thanking him as
we should? The signs of the times
answers no, and what the result
will be no living man can tell.

“It Micht Ha Bin Waur M
When failures becloud the blue of
your skv,
And troubles begin in torrents to
pour.
just iiiiiiK oi me iiooas wiiicn
others have whelmed,
And say to yoursel’: "It micht
ha’ bin vvaur.”
You’re drenched but nae droned;
it micht ha’ bin waur.
When out on life’s sea your vessel
is wrecked
Bejond the relief of a humanly
shore,
Cling last to the spar you have in
your hand
And say to yourself: “It micht
ha’ bin waur.”
Some haven’t a spar; it micht ha’
bin waur.
When death with dread step comes
into your street
And knocks with appaling'hand
at your ain door,
Hold fast to the hope that you’ve
got in your heart,
And say to yoursel’: “II micht
ha’ bin waur,”
What if you’d nae hope? It
micht ha, bin waur.
And when you shall stand before
the great judge
Who’ll open the book and look
your life njer,
May he in his love forgive where
you’ve failed
And say to your soul: “It micht

Gang ye wi’ the sheep. It micht
ha’ bin waur.”

County newspapers have no
waste circulation, although they
v circu’ ite in .waste places.
Look over the press of your
territory and you will notice that
big businesses are I ig advertisers
and you will see that this is the
secret of their bigness.
You will notice that our own
advertisements stand out plainly
from the others. They are de
signed that way. They are plain,
dignified, conspicuous, easily read.
Other people hav«_ noticed this too,
for this adversiting has increased
our trade.
After reading a few of them,
think over the following symphony:
I will not do the work an ad
vertisement can do for me.
Neither will I hire men to do it.
My business is to make a success
of my particular job.
Hence if there is anything hang
ing around loose that will help
me —
I want it.
I think my dealers should be
educated to the value of advertis
ing, because it lowers the cost of
doing business.
The county editor is a good man,
often the most public-spirited man
m town. I will, therefore, help
him get more business.
Not because I am a philanthro
pist, but because it will increase
my dealers’ and my own business.
