We, that is We four boys who do
many things on the "co-operative" "
plan, felt we needed a new wagon.
So we turned about, used our ''me>
chanical" liabilities" and made as
one, everything except hubs. Every
piece Of timber, even the spokes was
selected and air seasoned, shaped and
put together, AID every piece of iron
was shaped in our shop at home and
pointed there, We know what the ma
terial it is built of and can depend on
it, and we feel that no "wagon fac
tory" can put up a better one, nor
lighter running, though they may
point q little moro REALISTICALLY" bu.
We are more than satisfied when we
consider material. We are a little
proud oft.
Some one has said "that if you
want to get aloeg with q woman
never criticise nor offer advice, and
remember it is rule that only works
QUE way" Well, I thought I would
criticise or say something about those
frizzy, or fringy, or freozzly jackets
or shawls Or something Of the sort
that looks like it was just thrown at
them and barely hangs on, that gives
girls such a ragged appearance that
fashion has put them to wearing, but
if the above is true I won't say a
word, only that girls look pretty
wearing them anyway, if it does look
like they are walking just little in
front of them. | am not going to act
the critic now, no use saying a word.
Have you noticed that ''pets" in
the sense ofpets, as regards anything
are the most unreliable and ''no,
account" when it comes to business,
yet always receive more considera-
tion-in horses, cows, hogs, dogs and
they are the special privileged, are
better treated even at the expense
of others, and sometimes to their cruel
treatment. You can easily ruin
dog by making it a pet. You can
spoil horse or mule or anything.
The real worth in these things ap-
peals to me more than anything else.
unless it may be dog, for kind of
'beastly" companion which no other
animal on earth can be just the same.
But the worst spoiled thing on earth
and sometimes q very "no-account"
one, most undesirable, in some things,
is o human pot.
do not exactly agree with TIE
TIMES that it was pickup" of the
County Commissioners buying 25
acres of land for 1925, which ap-
peared in Nov. 21st ISSUE. unless
the pickup was on Mr.. Fosters part.
But why talk about buying quarry
in case . rock crusher is bought
getting the saddle before we do the
horse-when if We ever get crusher,
the farms are full Of rocks, which
| guess would be given away to get
them out of the way. Then that
quarry would be too far from these
parts, and We need something in the
backwoods. We need some creeks
and branches drained, and walk-ways
made, more than We need more land
or quarry, just now, methinks.
I was interested ia that article I
saw in The. TINES, saying how
Bishop W. w. Duncan tried to get
those ladies to stop talking during
conference up in Richmond, and
reread it, and came to the conclusion
-judged-that it was an insult, not
only to Bishop Duncan, but the con-
ference also, and ask, do you think
it was good breeding? But I wanted
to say, that, don't you think that
girls has more to do with good be-
havior of young men 10 church with
them than anything else? If a girl
will behave, and not talk, most any
young man you may choose will act
nicely when with her in church or
any sudience. ] have seen girls
influence them to act nicely, and I
have seen them to behave shamefully
together, and it isn't nice in either.
Rev. w. H. White, in sermon
at the Presbyterian church, said in
substance "Your believing man
will act way in the future will not
force him to act worng; your believ>
ing will not bring that about"
M, your belief that a man will be
bad on the shady side of life because
he was on the sunny side, even after
he haa taken the oath of alleoianc,.
