The work of teacning adult illit
terates is being organized in the
‘counties all around us. It opens
'a new world of improvement for
|the unlearned in our midst. '
ITheir' ideas are no longer forced!
‘to be local. They can see big
lger things and accomplish more.
lThe hours and days that any la
]boring man spends in idleness
| would, if rightly used, make of
lhim an educated, independent
tninker. Literature furnishes
‘the easiest means of obtaining
iinformation. Well read men are
'not disturbed by the preaching of
!lies that is troubling our country.
,There’s a vast difference in what
'a man will say to another when
\no witnesses are present and
'what he is willing to have pub
lished over his own signature.
False reports are spread by word
of mouth. You canrely on what
{you read, or you have the writer

. Up to the present day the U.‘

;inventions and discoveries until!
'we’ve become such a nation of |
iinventors that the spiritis even

Lour personal exploits. Butnow,
listen how discoveries are dis
‘couraged. A learned professor
‘has found a cute way of turning

shut about it.g |
- In this time of dissatisfaction,
unrest, unjust demands, why
~can we not come back to the old,
< liomely truth, that if we are not
doing well, we have only our
selves to thank for it, because
“others in our same circumstan
~ ces, even at our age, have takecn
themselves in hand like men
‘and have risen to respectful po
sitions.
| Work is the wall around the
fair field of success; it is too
ihigh to elimb; there is no gate;

It 1s again! Newsprint has
|gone so high and become so

must also be an increase in ad
vertising rates. :
| If for everything that we have
missed something has been
gained, as philosophers declare,'
then we’ve got a nice pile of
gains hidden away somewhere.

| Ought 1o be a kick in eane
juice, Tor, sceing as how sweet
enin’ is so scarcz and high, the
farmers should object to visitors
!drinking so much cf it before it
is made into booze, P
- Qoffee is more stimulating

If we we were a school teacher
and could give the boys a cigar
rette for each perfect lesson and
reward the girls by telling their
fortunes, we’d just up and show
the patrons so many hundred
per cent. report cards that tney
would get tired of reading them.
Still we’re only half doing the
job when we can sweet potatoes,
because there should be canned
pussum to go with them. If we
had-some canned possum we’d
see how long it would keep, ev
en if it took a lifetime to find|
out, and then we’d throw it
away.
