Trouble is trouble only when we

Men are good forgetters and
women are good reminders.
Any man can acquire the habit
of saving if he has anything to
save.
Today never exists for the per
son who is going to reform to
morrow.
The man without an idea hasn’t
the room in his head to hold those
of others.
The man who is truly great is
often acutely alive to his own im
perfections. _____
The blindness of love is prover

Some men’s heads, are so full
of brains there is no room left for
common sense.
The league of nations is still
battling valliantly in its efforts to
remain a league.
The crime wave in this coun
try is said to be ebbing. But
floods generally do.
There is no occasion for hiding
your smile, brother. It is not
subject to the income tax.

Occasionally we hear of some
fellow who was really lucky in
love. He escaped in time.
More people would reach the
goal of success if those crowding
behind would keep pushing.
In the end, the young man who
sticks to the farm generally finds
that the money sticks to him,
When a fellow begins to feel
his oats it is a sign that the seeds
of wisdom are failing to sprout.
Movie critics contend that a
three-foot kiss is long enough.
But we couldn’t say—we never
tried one.
As proof positive of the aDpear

dig down in payment of those
Easter hats.
As an evidence of the daunt
less courage of the young men of

Of course, we might sidestep
Jaoan by sinking the island of
Yap. Who wants to fight over a
fly speck, anyway.
The person who keeps a recoid
of his successes and failures is
generally the one who has the
least failures to record.
Mexico is rapidly getting down
to business and returning to nor
mal. Apparently our neighbors
saw wood while we talk.
If the bolshevik dictator of Rus
sia keeps up his present record
he will go into history as having
been killed more often than Villa.
As the Editor Sees It.
Mr. Harding say that he owes
everything to his wife. That is an
honest confession for which the
president is to be commended.
We can not all be presidents,
but there is nothing to prevent
our recognition of the value and
assistance our wives are to us.
A good woman is always an in
spiration to a man, whether she
be wife or mother.
Men are prone to profit from
wifely wisdom without according
the recognition it deserves. Of
ten it is only the usual thought
lessness of the sterner sex, but at
times it is pure egotistical selfish
ness.
The mother of man justifies her
existence a million fold. Her mere
presence is as enervating as a
fresh breeze on a sultry summer
day.
The most that we can possibly
say is not a tenth of what she de
serves.
People who don’t want to settle
down to business sometimes find
it embarrassing when the time
comes to settle up. y
Fault finding and grumbling
over economic conditions may re
lieve our exasperation to a slight
extent, but they do not remove
the cause for complaint.
Patience is a virtue, and virtue
wins its own reward, but only
when both are followed to a logi
cal conclusion.
Conditions in this country are
not satisfactory, but vociferously
voicing our dissatisfaction will not
improve them.
Patient and systematic effort
toward production and economy
will restore prosperity in time,
but uncertainty and continued
vacillhtion will have only the op
posite effect.
Wisdom points the road for us
to follow. The way may be long
and the toil may be great, but the
reward of perseverance awaits us
at the end of the trail.
A little shrubbery around the
house, a few flowers in the yard,
the occasional use of a lawn mow
er and a rake.
Only three little things, easy of
accomplishment in your idle mo
ments, yet they have a wonderful
effect in adding beauty to the
home and pride and contentment
in its possession.
A comparison of front yards in
this town might set many of us
to thinking.
The various states,of the union
are said to have $622,000,000 for
the purpose of building good roads.
That is, the states have the “dough”
and the people still have the mud.
But muddy roads, like darkest
clouds, have their silver lining.
As long as the mud is deep auto
mobiles will be scarce, and pedes
trians have some assurance of
reaching their homes without
having to be gathered up and
taken there in baskets.
The optomist can always find
something to his liking, even in
the most pessimistic of reports.

CHRIST IS RISEN.
By Fannie Andrew Strahn.
Christ is risen, is risen indeed;
He is the friend the world most needs;
Risen to biess and save us ail.
In mercy He heeds the lost one’s call
Shines His star and gives us light
To guide us through the-darkest night.
In glorious cross by Jesus borne
Sits He now.on a heavenly throne.
Resurrection morn how blest thou art
Immortal life for each trusting heart.
Since Christ o’er death hath a victory,
Eternal life for you and me.
Now, death, where is thy sting?
