Trouble is trouble only when we recognize it as such. ____________ » 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 bial—until after the preacher col lects his fee 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 ance of spring, hubby will now dig down in payment of those Easter hats. As an evidence of the daunt less courage of the young men of today, just scan the list of mar riage licenses. 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. • Divisional Institute. The Baptist W. M. U., of the West Central division, of which the Flint River B. W. M. U. is a part, will hold a Divisional Insti tute in Griffin during the month of April. It will begin the after noon of the 21, and continue through the afternoon of the 22.
