Sure you can. If you can't then one of two things is true; either you are in the wrong kind of business, or your busies* hits the wrong kind ' of manager at the-head Of it. Or, if you are the manager of a home, perhaps a wife, then there is al ways. robj/ for growth among us all for a hit more hospitality, or a bit more attraction about the home, or, some new or useful practice to make the home more enviting.

Or, if you ate Working for some one else you will gain training and a greater pleasure in your work, and finally more pay, for your self, apd; more profit and appreciation, for your employer if you will render your work more than is expected of you of your muscles as well as your mind and prove to your employer that you are sincerely and greatly interested in your work and the success of the one for whom you are working, and you will be happier too.

CONYERS. GEORGIA r - * .?•> -'t tematje cooperative way. There are many things that catyaiid should be done that (can only, or beet be doflie by working together with, or cooperating with others. This kind of spirit and ac tion can and does make a better com munity, and county. As one example of this I mention the P. T. A. at Oak Grove in this county, and the good community spirit there. I tell ypu those people know that they are making Oak Grove community** and that it is a mighty fine place Ih which to live. As othdr examuplea of benefits de rived by cooperation, helping the peo- : pie cooperating and ©tilths, this yeaT, I mention these gs reminders as proof of the practicability of each; (1) Through cooperation, Rockdale Copnty had a free one day fair 'that ( I any other on a day of the year, and at the same time had anednational side that benefited hundreds of people. .? ' (2) Through cooperation, Conyers and Rockdale Baptist Churches are get ting a pastor that is a bOfc&r preacher than either could have gotten with the salary each one offered. (3) Through cooperation, In coop erative marketing farmers of ftockdale County have made a profit of more than thirty six hundred dollars this year. (4) Through cooperation among farmers in this county it has been pos sible to get agricultural lime, which is only gotten in car lots, which has en abled fifteen farmer* to sow alfalfa. I know of farmers in adjoining county who wished to sow alfalfa but could not get the lime needed. Through cooperation within the last two years most children of the county have the advantages of consolidated schools, and during the same period of time through cooperation the many' demonstrations Of five acre cotton patches half of the farmers are prac ticing improved and more profitable methods ofcotton productloh. I believe and wish that every one wishing to give some services that will help to make 1930 a greater year for progress will have a chance to do so. Sincerely yours, ERNEST D.

When the half dozen officers of n modern submarine, dad In their black leather waterproof suits, come aboard, a sailor stands on the tiny gangway to receive them, und to each be bonds his waste, rolled in n neat' boll. The reason is that the steel doors and the steel walls of a submarine sweat oil eternally. The steel seats sweat oil. The submarine officer, he fore opening a door or before sitting down, wipes the oil from the knob or from the seat with an unconscious gesture like that of pulling up the trousers to keep them from bugging. Jovial young submarine lieutenants say that even the dishes sweat oil on a submarine trip. They say that be fore filling their plates with meat, they mechanically wipe the oil from them with their balls of oily waste.- Springfield Union.
