GEORGIA LINES OF WISDOM Silence is the father of truth. TT l Industry attracts good things. 1 TS No one is great without faith. It’s the early edition that catches the bookworm. Facts must be feminine —at least they are stubborn things. A man may be self-possessed and still have no taxes to pay. Never agree with a woman when she is abusing her husband. Few men cut their wisdom teeth until after they are married. Courtship is a beau-knot that mar riage pulls into a hard knot. Adversity sometimes brings out a man’s good points—by the roots. Girls should always sing soprano instead of alto because it is higher toned. If abuse makes a man whine in stead of rage, there’s something wrong. It’s a wise man who doesn’t send his wife to the door when fortune knocks. Some people are not on speaking terms with their own conscience half the time. You cannot teach a man anything; you only help him to find it within himself. —Galileo. It is no pleasure for a man to do as he pleases until after he gets mar ried—then he can’t. Meeting clever people sometimes proves this: That they care nothing for any cleverness but their own. Native African Belief Aids Spread of Pests Rhodesia is suffering badly from the depredations of lions and leopards. It would be the simplest matter in the world to eliprinate these pests as in most parts of South Africa, but the natives, although baited by the offers of gems and other rewards, simply will not help the white farmers in this matter. The whole truth is that the natives believe that the spirits of their departed chiefs are reincarnated in the lions and leopards that infest the country. Asa result of this superstition no native dare kill a lion for fear of bringing the anger of the spirits upon him and his family. The native is rather between the devil and the deep sea, because the “spirits” have a nasty habit of carrying off members of his family when hungry. —Washington Star. She Was Jealous Doris had just become engaged to Willie. A week or two after the an nouncement had been given out she went to tea with one of her friends. “Now, dear,” said this friend. “I want to hear all about it. How did Willie propose?’ Doris blushed. “He paid me a great compliment,” she replied. “He said that I was the eighth wonder of the world, and that he could never live without me.” “Really?” gushed the other girl. “And what was your answer?” “Oh, I told him I’d have him,” said Doris. “But I warned him at the same time that there’d be trouble if ever I caught him with one of those other seven!” “Foreigners” in Army No attempt has ever been made to classify the United States army per sonnel by nationality or place of nativ ity. In a tabulation, however, involv ing about 3,000,000 names of veterans (from among the 4,057,101 individuals who served in the United States army during the World war) whose appli cations for adjusted compensation were passed by the War department prior to May 1, 1928, It appears that the foreign-born among those appli cants numbered 340,533. Blame and Praise “You have been accused of being a grafter.” “Everybody knows,” said Senator Sorghum, “that I have not great for tune. If I had, I wouldn’t' be accused, I’d be overwhelmed with flattery.” Centenarian’s Record A Sussex (England) lady who re cently celebrated her hundredth birth day received a medal from the British Red Cross society for her war services which included sewing over 400 shirts for the men at the front. Not a “Confirmed” Liar “He is a confirmed liar, isn’t he?” “Not exactly, nobody has ever con firmed anything he sdid.”—Vancouver Province. Very Popular Mabel —Has Harry any particular following? Margie—Yes; he has at least a dozen creditors following him. Ambiguous “This fellow says he never knew what happiness meant until he mar ried.” * “What does that mean?” CURRENT WIT Making It Clear Ambulance Surgeon—" Are you mar ried?” Victim —“No; that was an au tomobile that hit me.” —Detroit News. Continuous Performance? “Did you get real angry at him when he kissed you?” “Yes, awfully; every time he did It.” Paradoxical “ITere is a telegram from South America thnt your nephew is dead.” “At last he gives signs of life.” Defined “What do they mean by police frisking a suspect?” “Search me.” Time to Leave He —Are you fond of indoor sports? She —Yes —providing they go home early. Looking to the Future Wife —If you ever got tired of me, I’d take poison! Husband—That’s handy to know. Reason Enough Sap—Why did they bury the cap tain at sea? Head —Because he was dead. Orchid Days End Friend —How’s business? Florist —Not so good. All my old customers are married now. Why Leave Home? Nipp—“Does your wife go to the talkies much?” Tuck—“Oh, no; she stays home and has ’em.” Indispensable Professor—What book has most in fluenced your life? Nifty Coed—My father’s check book !; SNAPPY SALLIES Beauty is nature's temporary gift to the fair sex.' Wherever the climate is perfect, the wages are poor. Marriage is a means of grace when it leads to repentance. Yellow streak in a man is never mistaken for a heart of gold. There are men who don’t want “pals,” either men or women. Lots of men are pleasant to talk to, but disagreeable to listen to. Nothing so effectually cures n man of the flattery habit as marriage. When a man loses faith in human ity he hits himself u solar-plexus blow. I’ralse publicly wherever it is de served. There is plenty of occasion for It. People who like to make a self sacrifice are likely to want to sacri flee you, too. Your friends are not perfect, of course. If they were, they might not like you. It takes infinite patience to rear a child; and there seems to be an abundance of it. It sometimes happens that the smaller his vocabulary, the more a man likes to talk. Girls no longer amuse themselves by trying on each other's hats; the hats are too much alike. Government keeps so many things going at once that the folks simply can’t be Interested al! the time. Raisins Fed to Cattle Cattle feeders are buying raisins from the Fresno (Calif.) district for feeding cows, hogs and sheep on the basis of sl6 a ton. Records show the raisins have fully this value as feed. On former tests, it is said, the raisins were of such poor quality that feeders ’were discouraged, but when a better quality was tried good results were obtained. If a large enough demand is created it is thought that the aver age market price can be brought up by this use of surplus raisins.—Cap per’s Weekly. Of Course Hector Volpone, the Kansas City banker, said on his return from Italy: “Italy progresses very fast because she has done away with her old polit ical parties. “The old political parties in Italy— and maybe this holds true in certain other countries as well —the old po litical parties were just groups or blocs of men that prevented one an other from doing anything except, of course, the taxpayer.”—Exchange. Wondered Why They Laughed Teacher was explaining a problem in geometry at the blackboard. Very seriously she said, “Now, I know my figure Isn’t very good, but if you watch closely you’ll see it.” —Boston Tran script. Endurance Run Landlady—And what’s wrong now? Youthful Lodger—l just wanted to say that I think you get too much mileage out of this roller towel— Loughborough Herald. Population IncreziD Doctor Kueznski of the Harris Foundation institute, estimates that at - present the population of the world is increasing at the rate of five-eighths of 1 per cent annually.

At a j meeting of the state Federation of Women’s Clubs a resolution was pass ed urging members to boycott business and manufacturing firms which use billbords for advertising along the high ways. Most of us get a kick out of life, but from behind. Miss Grace Kirkpatrick killed 75 rattlesnakes in two days on her ranch near Briggsdale, Colo.
