FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1922,

Funny, isn’t it, how some of our
girls can’t blush from behind their
drug store complexions,
sAy P @ —
The road to success is not a boule
vard, neither is it a flower-bordered
path adown a shaded lane.
e e G () At
Hearst, the newspaper publisher,
has almost persnaded Hearst, the
statesmen, to run for governor of
New York.
And now congress has gone to
tinkering with the tariff again—and
next fall the people will likely be
tinkering with congress.
1f the United States gels many
more members like Tom Watson
they’ll have to appoint an official
match-maker aud install a prize
ring.
Now comes a Chicago scientist
who has generated n heat of 50,000
degrees. That must be just a mite
hotter than it seems in our office
these summer afternoons.
e i =
In admiring some of those apiffy
bathing suits we see advertised and
Nustrated in the magazines and in
show-windows, one should remem
ber that they are rot to be worn in
the water.
Jack Dempsey is author of the
statement that he’d rather fight
than eat, which leads us to believe,
frém the time he consumes in talk
ing between his seraps, and his ap
parent antipathy for gerapping when
scrapping was €0 good in France
and Belgium that he just eats about
once a year.
The Republican Campaign Com
mittee is raigsing a campaign fund
of $500,000. Wouldn’t be surpris
ed if Senator Newberry couldn’t
tell them that it won’t go as far
toward a successful election as a
common candidate for some small
office can throw a ‘‘bull.”
e e - ————
Some frenzied critie, possioly paid
for his criticisms by some of the
Wall Street Trusts who are so inter
ested in downing Henry Ford and
his projects, charges that Ford is
planning to buy the presidency.
Better let him have Muscle Shoals,
where as its operator he would so
much better benefit the people who
would only be toa glad to vote for
him for president did they not feel
that in thatcapacity he would be
a greater benefactor.
KEEPING A SECRET.
It has been said that there are
three ways of spreading the news—
telegraph, telephone and tell-a-wo
man, all of which may be true,
though this one, which weoverheard
in a conversation between two ladies
is evidence that ‘'tell-a- woman’’ is
not a good way of keeping a secret.
These two met and the following
conversation ensued:
Bess—"'Why, Jess, I thought you
told me you wouldn’t tell Tess what
I told you not to tell her.”
Jess—""The mean thing; she told
me she wouldn’t tell you that I told
her what you told me not to tell
her. I'll get her for that.”’
Bess—''No, don't say anything
to her about it, for I promised her
that I wouldn’t tell you that she
told me that you told her what I
told you not to tell her.”’
BUT WE MUST HAVE THE MON.
Some of the new candidates for
state office have been kind enough
to send us their announcement with
an outline of their platforms, for
publication, and, we suppose, are
foolish enough to think that we’ll
fall for the ruse und spread their
“bull’”’ for them.
~ Tothem we declare that we got
on several stations down the road
and know just where we are going
to get off. It takes money to run o
paper and it also takes money to
run a campaign through the papers,
as they will find before they are
elected through free propaganda
Our space is our stock in trade and
we sell it at a stipulated price, jos!
48 & merchant sells his goods at o
atipulated price and we can as il
wfford to give it away as can a
merchant to dizh out hisg sugar, flour
or clothing to those who aspire to
the possesaion of such things,
No, pardner, you’ll have to waste
another stamp on 18 and your an
now.cement will have to be accomp
anied by a bona fide check.
WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING?
\Vhat is our country coming to?
‘Vhat next will evolve from the
evil influences of the war with Ger
many? God only knows We now
have almost every evil in the veca
hulary of the erime rife in our midst,
along with the doing and the doers
Murderers, who for a diamond sem f
pin will spill the lifeblood of their
unsuspecting fellow men, yeggman,
bandits, post office looters, sand
baggers, bomb artists, hand la
grabbers, bank bandits, auto stealers
afe blowers, train robbes and—
well anything and everything inthe
‘way of dishonesty and thievery —
the country isfull of it, north, south
east and west, and nearly all ofit
originates in foreigners, who think
it easier to steal than to work for
what they want. We once had a
(iod-fearing populace among whom
honor and honesty was high in
every heart, when every man “loved
his neighbor.”’ But today, where
i 3 it foond? We had not such a
horde of evil doers before the war,
hence feel that we are indebted
to Germany for the influx. Our
country is fast drifting into an abyss=
of woe, if not -lestruction. il
Where is the reiedy? We can
not believe that the Creator will
much longer permit the ruling of
hellish men over His just crea
tures—allowing this cendition of
affuirs over the sweet world and the
lovable beings whom He created
to continue to exist indefinitely.
There is so much that is vile and =o
little that is clean and just. If we,
the people, do not to a greater ex
tent practice sobriety, honesty and
honor, and show more humanity
toward our fellow men, can we just
ly expect the Creator to bear with
us much Jonger? Do we keep His
commandments?
By our acts we are ‘‘kickers.’’
It is recorded that satan, the devil,
was once an angel in Heaven and
was banished because he rebelled.
He then became the father of
“kickers”’ and if we follow in his
wake what ean we expect—epide
mic, famine, desolation and death?
Is that what we are awaiting? We
hope not. But we verily believe
that sooner or later the vengeance
of the Almighiy will be visited upon
]those who persist in making Ilis
beautiful world a hell by their acts
of robbing, stealing, killingand vio- ‘
lence of every hue, thus violating
every law of God and man. |
let each one take home these
thoughts with him-—and so conduet |
his future life {hat his fellow-men
may see the good and desire to
emulate the example thus set. If
thig is done, mayhap He who has
the power to guide all hearts will
exert that power upon evildoers and
their violence and robbing and
murder will become less as the days
go by, and the world may be better
for your having lived therein,
If you have not paid your sub
seription yet you had beiter do so
once.
Don’t wait for us to call for your
Job Printing but send it to us for
we have not the time to call and
get it. .

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
FORWARD, BACKWARD
E\'EuYTHING In nature Is moving
toward a great purpose. There I 8
no Inactivity in the atoms or ia the
gpheres; no turning backward, no in
decislon, but a constant movement in
n forward direction, carrying us away
from the yesterdays to new dawnings
and new days,
The winds, the tides, the spinning
of the earth In its prescribed orbit,
the rising and the setting of the sun,
the coming and the going of the sea
song, the blooming and the fading of
verdure and flowers, all bear evidence
of progress, and eternal life,
Being a minute part of nature, per
forming your little role in the great
scheme of creation, reciting your lines,
do you ever pause to ask yourself
whether you are moving forward or
backward?
In spite of any thought you may
entertain in the matter, you are going
ahead or drifting behind, just as sure
ly as the rose§ bloom in summer and
the snows blanket the ground in win
ter,
You are bhetter equipped for your
life-work today than you were yester
day, or less efliclent.
Your mental and physical forces
have® undergone an imperceptible
change and you have changed. with
them,
You are a trifle more dexterous fn
your work or slightly more clumsy.
In the last 24 hours you have not
remained In a quiescent state, for the
laws of motion have been silently at
work, carrying you a step or two for
ward or backward. setting you down
at the threshold of a new day a slight
ly changed belng for better or worse,
which you may or may not observe as
you take hold of today's duties.
Before night, however, you may be
come conscious of a new-born power,
or a lack of it, and wonder what the
transformation means.
Its slgnificance is clear. You are
going forward or backward, keeping
in accord with the eternal motion of
things of which you are a part.
If you would move forward, keep
step with the men and women who
are laboring and achieving in the
great purpose, you must watch your
every thought, impulse and act; and
ask yourself at the beginning of each
day whether you are pressing toward
victory or turning toward defeat.
“Forward or backward?” ought to
be your initlal question at dawn, and
your final query at night., Let this
self-examination become a habit, and
in a little while you will be glad that
you acquired It.

“Fiddie Bows.”
The Instruments of the “string
ehoir” are all played with a bow,
with occasional pizzicato, or plucking
of the strings, as required by the
music. A bow lis an instrument of
wood and horsehair employed to set
the strings of the violin or other musi
cal Instrument in vibration. As its
nsme limplies, it was originally
curved. The violln bow is usually
about twenty-nine inches long and the
stick has a slight curve lnward. The
violoncello bow 'is a little shorter.
The double-bass bow has a large arch
and is shorter, The early bows were
so crude that they added little to
the delicacy of tone. The earliest
improvement was made when a metal
band with teeth-like edges was in
troduced with the design of regulat
ing the position and tension of the
hair at or near the handle. It was
reserved for Krancols Tourte (1747-
1853) to devise the plan of keeping
the hair flat by means of a ciasp,
and the screw and button for slack
ing or tightening the hair at pleasure.
—Scientific American,
Concerning Sleep. ;
Deeply rooted in the popular mind 1s
the feeling that “a series of bad nights”
means “something wrong with the
brain.” 'This Is a bogy, says a writer, |
“that wants firm dealing with, as it isl
always frightening numbers of nervous
persons into poor health. If welght isl
maintained, the mind clear, and diges
tlon good, why worry about sleep if
only a few hours are obtalned each
night? It is always a matter of indi
vidual constitution, and rigid rules
about sleep are deceptive, if not dan
gerous, One person gets as much
benefit out.of a habitual five hours'
sound sleep 4s many another derives
from eight or nine hours’ lighter slum
ber; for quality of sleep is as impor
tant as quantity, a point that is often
overlooked. Again, it is difficult to!
see on what grounds the average
healthy woman should be advised to!
take an hour's sleep more than the av
erage man.”
“Mission Furniture.”
Many people believe that period |
furniture had its origin in the old|
California missions. The truth is a,
manufacturer made two very ugly and
clumsy chairs, the legs being merely
three-inch posts and the whole chair
rough and crude. For some reason
the chairs were shown at an exhlbi-‘
tion of furniture where they attracted '
a good deal of attention as a nov-,
elly, At that time the California
missions were being talked about and '
a clever dealer bought both chairs
and advertised them as coming from
the California missions. Another
dealer thought that it might be a good
idea to make furniture along the lines
of those two chairs and name them
“Mission,” He further carried out
the idea by putting a Maltese cross
wherever it would go and therefore
increased the belief that the furni-|
ture really did come from. Cnllfnrnh.l
