The Boys' Mother. In the Febrmry \merican Mag azine George Fitch writes an amusing piece entith d ‘‘Home burg’s Worst Enemy,” in which he shows how the cities rob small towns of Up ir hoys and girles. “It’s mighty hard to be a moth er cf sons in IL’meburg 1 work ed in the p.< bice tor a year once —handeu out mail —and 1 got to know just < xactl / what most of the mothers in town wanted. I could please ♦hem with a new magazine or r \stify them with a circul. ror a business letter. But if I wanted to light them up until lhe.\ took the shado s out of the corners as they went out I would give them a letter from a son, wav off somewhere making good. The best of them didn’t write any too often Once a week is prettv regular, I suppose from Ihe other end; bid you should see the moth er begin to come in hungry again the second day after her letter came. And when a boy come home successful and prosperous, and his proud mother towed him down Main sreet it used to go to heart to see the wistful looks of lei women friends. There is hardly a family in Homeburg of the right age which hasn’t a grown-up son off at war some where fighting failure. It’s grand when they win; but i hate to think of some boys who haven’t come back. Many People In This Town never really enjoyed a xneal until iwe advised them to take a °«s,£'* (before and after each meal. Sold only by us —25c a box. fhe McDonough Drug Go. What Love is. “Love.” writes the editor of nn eastern paper, “is at first an illu sion and then a delusion.” We can’t remember just who this editor is nor in what paper the quotation appeared, but we’ll bet our Sunday-go-to-meetin’ boiled shirt that he walks back wards and that instead of good red blood there flows thru his veins the sourest of vinegar. Probably somewhere back in his purple, palpitating past there was a girl who passed him by and married the other fellow and ever since the carking canker of crabbedness has been ’eating away and eating away at that which once heat as his heart. Love a delusion! By all the golden, sunny ring lets on the brow of Cupid, by all the sweet lips that ever puckered into a rosebud to receive the kiss of alover, we swear that love is no delusion. Does a delusion make the world go ’round? Is the blue sky an illusion. Is it an illusion when our car diac pumping station goes all aflutter at the soft-whispered words of the sweetest girl God ever made? Is it an illusion when we thrill in every nerve if a tiny, soft, vel vety hand chances to linger, just for an instant, in ours, as we look into a pair of eyes whose limpid depths make the profundity of the ocean seem shallow as a mud puddle? Is it an illusion when the very marrow in our spinal column freezes if we hear that “THE” girl has a date with another fel low? Is it an illusion when she bur ies her face behind the lapel of our coat shyly nods her little head and answers “yes” when we ask her the greatest question in the world? Is it? IS it? We should say NOT! Love is the concentrated es sence of goodness, sprinkled up on the tender petals of a crystal ized violet. It comes skyhooting down from the high heavens on a mellow moonbeam, entwines its silken tendrils about your flutter ing heart until your breath comes in short, quick, ecstatic gasps and your soul just seems to float away on a billow of seafoam to the Is land of Rosebuds and Orange Blossoms. Love an illusion? It is NOT! And believe us, we know. We’ve tried it often enough.— Ex.

Sold Hogs by Telephone A South Carolina farmer had a large number of hogs which were ready to kill. The weather was so warm that killing was out of the question. He went to his telephone, called a dealer in Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs at a good price. He then called the local freight office and arranged for shipment. The telephone is now a necessity on the farm. You can have one on your farm at small cost. See the nearest Bell Telephone Manager of send a postal for our free booklet.
