If we had the choice of a pen

the latter would look like a bet

Farmers are a good bit wor

’■ext year. In some parts of the
country the puzzle seems to have
been solved by investing Leavib
in fake stock which promises a
much bigger profit than reguh i
business, and of course the more
gain one sees in apropos
the better it looks, and every
one knows what a wonderful in
fluence looks has.
The boll weevil is getting ev

in a number of counties around
Atlanta. This year the top
squares were destroyed in Ful

of the top crcp.,
Strange the changes time
brings. Once the South wanted
negro segregation and the North
would have none of it: now the j
Southern writers and speakers
are pointing out the advantage
to the country of scattering the
negro throughout the North,
East and West thus giving the
people a chance to know him
better and the negro opportuni
ty for race expansion, and our
Northern friends will have‘none
of it. Like a good many other
problems, the negro question is
easiest of solution at a distance.

Tais preacher’s pen proved
more powerful than the pulpit.
Rev. T. E. Davenport, Method
ist, of Ashburn, has succeeded
in making dancing unpopular
there. “The town had utterly
gone to seed on the subject, of
dancing,” he said, “until I came
out in the paper with a card tell
ing something about dancing.
There hasn’t been a dance there
since, whether that had anything
to do with it or not.” We read
the card: “Dancing—A Psycho
logical Study,” expecting to find
it the usual brimstone sermon
which generally has little effect
on the lightfeoted church mem
. bers— but it wasn’t. He just
quietly discussed the charm of

To read the miles of columns
of Health Talks in the newspa
pers and magazines throughout
each passing year, one might be
influenced to think that people
are greatly interested in their
health and ready at the drop of
an ink to sailjntoanew “course”
and develop brawn and brain.
But it it n’t so. They do read
the articles, and enjoy them and
recommend them to you, but
tiat is about the extent of the
damage done by these lectures.
While a man is reading up on
the proper vim for correct chew
ing, if he be suddenly called to
dinner, he swallows meat and
bone, egg and considerable shell
and he lives about 103 years. A
man who eats by line and rule
and time and tune, drinks only
hardboiled water, and carefully
sterilizes his eyeball after seeing
unhealthy looking people on the
street, lives 103 years, also. The
choice is left with the individual.
Most folks want their food like
they want it and eat in a hurry.
The labor unionist says that
if he can have his wages doubled
every year or two and if farm

low priced he will be able to live
comfortably and save up money
enough to become a capitalist.
The coldest part of the day is
a few minutes after sunrise and

In Springfield, Illinois, they
are using toilet water for inter

well since it contains forty per

There is one of the old ones
that civilization hasn’t dene
much to, and that one is the for
tune teller.
Villa thinks it is more desira
ble to have a comfortable little
lifetime job than to do aT the
warring in a few strenuous years
and then be chased away from
home and have to invite oneself
to spend awhile with some ac
quaintance.

THRIFT
11 y Dr. Frank Crane.
Thrift is bimply the nppltodiou of I
intelligence to expenditure.
It does not only n’ean saving It'
does not connote skimping arid pen-1
nypinching, niggardliness and miser-j
lincss. Thai is often ike most fiCish |
kind of waste, waste of health, of;
spirits and of the joy of life.
Thrift means intelligent spending, i
To spend a dollar now may save I
two dollars next month.
Thrift implies a budget. If youj
you have no wise plan, it makes littlp'
difference how much you make What I
is the use of forging ahead when you
don’t know your destination?
-Some moneymakers might sing:
with Mr Dooley, “We don't know
where we're going, but we're on cur
way.’’
Thrift implies foresight. It means!
we can see tomorrow as well as today.
It is the opposite of childishness.
Tiie child can grasp only’ what is be
fore him. He cannot realize the fu
ture. He "Wants what he wants
when he wants it. - ’ If he had no
older heads to think for him he
would, like the grasshopper, dance .all
Summer and starve all Winter.
'lhe savage eats when he finds
meat. He gorges and sleeps, and
between times starves. The civilized
man lays up. In abundance he pre
pares against famine. He builds
bams and warehouses.
Thrift implies selfcontrol. Yfe are
masters of self, not slaves of self.
Thrift implies selfrespect. We do
not wish to become a burden upon
others. Hence we lay up something
, f . r our lean days
Thrift means decency. The de
cetit portion of the race accept their
due responsibility’, carry their share of
the burdens, justify their existence
by cheerfully doing their part of the
world's woik.
Thrift means patriotism.
Thrift means love of family.
Thrift means you are not a bound
er, a sponge or a nuisance.
1 Thrift means using your strength
to i rotect your weakness, your health
to take care cf your sickr/css, your
fortune to provide against your mis
fortune.
!
. Thrift means you are not ashamed
of your past; ycu arc content with
your present; and you arc unafraid of
your future.
It means ycu can stand up like a
I min on your two feet and face what
ever destiny may have for you, and
say:
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
