caption of "Be square and do right =
1t is well worthy Of reproduction and
careful consideration by the reading

cit should be our purpose to be
reasonable in all matters pertaining
to our earthly career, whether busi-
ness, political or social, and we should
not go to extremes about any Of them.
We should always cultivate the good
rather than the bad; we should do
away with prejudice and petty
whims; we should treat our neighborf
cordially and should live in an at
mosphere of peace, sunshine and hap
piness. What IS the use Of fretting I
will that help your cause9 For what
your life is, you make it and we
should make the best Of the situa-
ton be it ever so humble. We should
take philosophical view of the mat
ter and strive bravely to overcome
the multitudinous things that cross
our path every day. Remember thai
you are not the only person with trou-
BILE on your shoulders. Lies battle
is full of it and to win the fight you
must first conquer yourself. The best
business men in ouI country today
as a rule, are men who started life
in an humble way They were fair,
conscientious and honorable, never
too exacting with their employees,
but were reasonable; spoke encour-
agingly of what they were doing in
the interest of the firm and in the end
profited by their good work and are
today the leading spirits in the COM
mercial life some of our metropolitan
cities. Remember always as you 60
along, you should prefer the man who
smiles to the man who sneers. The
former is the fellow who gets there
in nine times in ten. !"

The newspaper fraternity is holding
the annual meeting at Jackson this
week where cordial reception is be-
ing given. The papers are largely
in the hands of the "devil" while
the editors are away, and some one
will be unkind enough to intimate
that they show decided improve
ment. This annual outing is the one
oasis in the life of the country news
paper editor and is of course hugely
enjoyed. They are class that does
more free work and generally get less
thanks for the same than any people
on earth. But such is life in this day
and time.

1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
visit of President Clark Of the Missis-
sippi Division Of the Southern Cot
ton Association and President Bar
rett Of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union to Vienne, Aus
tria, for a conference with the spin.
ners of Europe, will result in SUBJ
stantial good to the cotton growing
interests. Such a conference will
bring the two interests closer togeth-
er and bring about an understand
ing that will eventually eliminate the
middle men and their profits, giving
to the planter that which has in the
past been lost in speculation and
profits to intermediate dealers. Il
is gratifying to note the harmony
existing between Uese powerful Or
ganizations, both working toward tho
same end and in the interest of the
same people, the producer.

and bound toward the place of exit
as men and women do when caught

In a torrential stream they are sent

Vesuvian shock preceding an earth
quake. If at any time the needed

his own improved word factory and
from an inexhaustible conglormera-
tion of multitudinous ideas he
evolves an photographic monstrosity
and bangs it into place, with the
force of a piledriver. and. though the
word may be an instantaneous crea-
ton it fits in its place like a brick in
wall. AS a manipulation of words,
monosyllabic. dissyllabic and poly

first magnitude with a little extra
scintillation thrown in for full meas
ure This copiousness of words arises
from the superabundance of ideas

as clear as the rays of light crowning

The following are some of Sun
days sayings culled from sermons at
Kankakee:
Ten or twelve women can turn a
city to hell or turn It to God.
Unbelief builds wall between
yourself and God.
Without faith there is no blessing.
The measure of your blessing is de-
termined by your obedience.
Remove the barrier of sin between
yourself and God and your prayers
will be heard.
You can pray until you are black
in the face and you will not get
blessing unless you get your heart
cleaned and "shell out"
What we need in the churches is
more prayer. 1t was a master stroke
of the devil when he cut prayer out
of the church service.
With faith prayer for the larg-
est blessing will be answered.
without faith no prayer for the
smallest blessing will succeed

being as poorly as you do your spir-
itual being you would be all In in n
