Fearful Tale.

A fearful story is that told by dia'
gram in the Christian Union comparing
the annual expenditure bf the United
States for intoxicating liquors with vari-
Gus other of the largest items of expen.
ditures, based upon the census reports OF
1880 and other reliable authorities. The
amounts thus given are:
"Liquor, s9OO,OOO,000; bread, $685.,
100000; meat, s3OS,oo0,OOO; iron ian and
steel, 1920, 100000; woolen goods, s, S25a, e8o
100000; sawed lumber, 1922, ,000, ,00O
cotton goods, S2lO,O0o,OOO; boots and
shoes, Sl9G, 100000 sugar and molassees,
1856, 100000; public education, SS5, ,G0o,'
600; Christian missions, Home and For
eign, S5,500,0OO.
1t will be seen from these figures that
nearly twice as much is spent annually
for liquors as for bread, the staff of life,
and nearly three times as much as TOR
woolen or cotton goods, and one hundred
and sixty three times as much as is given
for the extension of the Gospel. What
fearful revelation this is, and what a
danger it threatens to the life of our
country

the interest, the right, the duty of the
State-to place the privilege of free

indeed "an outgrowth and an index Of

We are glad to find that several schools
in the County outside of the villages will
run ten months. The patrons employ

the amount he gets from the public fund.
Mr.. Compton in Fork, Mr.. Stribling and
Miss Drake in Martin, MIR. Bagwell in
Belton, and others run their schools ten
months. We congratulate the teachers
and commend the patrons in the several
communities. We wish these were many
more such schools. The future men of
this County are now the bare-footed boys.

A TRADE SECRET.
An Undertaken Tells Why His Business
Retter in Winter Than in summer.

An uuOeft5ker IcltS why Ills BUSINESS II
Better in Winter Than in Summer.
When asked by a reporter whether
he had any funerals on hand. an Olive
street undertaken answered in the mega
tive. adding that he expected to have
some very good ones very soon.
What makes YOU so CONFIDENT"
queried the reporter.
WHY" quoth the undertaken. 1.-THE
rich men die in winter and poor men
in summer. As winter is coming on It
follows naturally that we Will have the
remains of people belonging to rich
families to bury. When l say that the
rich die in W inter- and the poor in sum-
mer, am prepared to give my reasons
for that assertion. In the summer
time rich men As rule take it easy.
They keep in the shade and spend their
time at summer resorts. where they get
plenty of fresh air. Poor people. on
The other hand. remain at home They
work in the sun, live in Easements and
hot rooms. and erervate themselves I'M
til they take sick and die. 1t is well
known fact that poor people as rule
have more children than rich people.
and it is also Il well-known fact that
the mortality among children is greater
during the summer months than ut any
other season of the year. Men who
work on high walls, as brick masons.
men who clean the streets. and team
sters, as well as others who are exposed
TO the hot rays of midsummer sun.
are poor men. as a rule, who are COM
PEELED to work the year round for their
daily bread. Rich men die in winter
because they are subject to dangers
they take no precautions to avoid.
Poor men suffer from exposure, vet
their very hardships fit them for the
sudden changes OF the weather, which
are almost constantly occurring. Rich
people, wearing furs and heavy over
coats. crowd into Overheated and badly
ventilated theaters. When they co,ne
out they catch their death of cold.
Rich people indulge in greater excuses
in winter than in summer. They at
tend more balls and wine parties and
lose more sleep in cold than in warm
weather. There are many other rea-
sons for the fact stated to you. but it is
hardly worth while to enumerate them
here. Suffice it to say that the under
takers have nearly all of their best pay
ing funerals during the winter months"
