TIMELY ADVICE

Stop grumbling. Get up two hours
earlier in the morning, and do
something out of your regular profess
sion. Mind your own business and
with all your might let other peoples
alone. Live within your means. Talk
less of your own peculiar gifts and
virtues, and more of those of your
friends and neighbors. Be cheerful.
Fulfill your promises. Pay your debts.
Be yourself all you would see in
others. Be good, do good and stop
grumbling. Elk.

remarfling that he had now paid her
the $40 he had promised her. She in
turn paid Mr.. Black to settle her bread
and pastry account. Mr.. Black hand
ed it to Mr.. Hadley, asking credit for
the amount on his flour bill. Mr..
Hadley again returned it to Mr..
Brown, with the remark that it settled
that months board, whereupon Mr..

out of town and never come back.

FOR THE NEWLY MARRIED
Some Good Thoughts for Those just
Starting Out in Life

Dear Editor: l want to speak just
a few words to the young farmer who
has found the sweetest girl in the world,
and has used the last dollar in his
pocket to pay the marriage fee.
Don't move in with the old folks.
Either her old folks or your own will
make you lose that sense of response
bility that is the most essential ele-
ment of success.
Buy a home. Start your new re-
1ationship under your own roof. 1t
may be years and years before you
have clear title, but you will win out
finally if you are in dead earnest.
You can be making improvements
every year that will mean money in
your pocket that would mean nothing
to you on rented land.
Go into the battle of life whole-heart-
ed and determined to conquer.
Set out a vineyard and orchard
asparagus and horseradish beds
Many things can be done in the first
2OlQeD glow vi llIC II VIC Stdl L TX III.
Let the wife have her flower garden,
her beautiful vine arbor and her own
yard of roses. Give her an interest
in outdoor life and keep the bloom in
her cheeks.
Name your farm some appropriate
name and have the home printer print
- I.ttlo Lot ~ cfa
your name and the name of your farm
on it. Take a few good papers that
will help you both in the everyday
problems ofli and bring new thoughts
to your freside.
Steer clear of debt and sin. Never
owe more than you are financially re-
sponsible for.
Never do a thing that cannot bear
the light. Earn whatever you can, but
do not make money your God.
If YOU must choose between love and
money, choose love. Keep intact that
priceless treasure, the heart of your
wife.
Now word to the young wife You
have won the love of a good man, the
most precious possession of woman
kind. Strive to keep that love. 1t is
your all. If you lose it nothing re-
mains but years of dull drudgery,
pain and sorrow, and final despair.
II you keep this love it will brighten
all the dark days, and turn the sorrows
into joys.
Always dress neatly and look pleas
ant, just as YOU did when your good
man came accounting you.
BY and by, when there are other
claimants for your love and care, you
will have established your hold on
your husbands heart, and you will
be to him more and more precious as
he years go by with noiseless tread,
leaving threads of silver in your hair,
Above all else, love him and let him
know that you love him; glory in life's
beautiful legacy of love. Only the
homeless and those bereft of love can
appreciate home and loving hearts.
Inthe country near to natures heart,
serving natures God, life is worth
living, and hope dwells eternal in the
breast. UNCLE SILAS.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

The public school interests of the
country is just now receiving a great
deal of attention, but yet it does not
receive the attention and study that it
should from the class of people who
need it most. There are thousands of
boys and girls in Arkansas today who
are not receiving the benefits of the
public schools that they should, that
the founders of the system intended
that they should receive. They are
the children of the poor, or of those
who do not realize the benefits of an
education. This class is numerous in
every community, and they seldom re-
ceive any attention from their more
fortunate neighbors, who are intent
upon their own plans of life, not re-
alizing that they can not get away
from the influence of their less FORUM
ate fellows. When this matter
is looked at from this viewpoint
by the more fortunate who can send
their children to school they will take
more interest in providing means for
their less fortunate neighbours children
to attend school. Brinkley Citizen.

A Few Kind Words.

Miss Ethel Barrymore, In discussing
present day players, recently said;
AS for Miss Nethersole, admit that
she has proved a great disappointment
to me in recent years. When first she
came over she was an actress who was
trimming over with promise. She
had an exceptional mask, was tempera-
mental and had opportunities. She
was the best Tanqueray / have ever
seen-a thousand times better than
Mrs. Patrick Campbell ever was How
Mrs, Pat viii love me for that But
since then Miss Nethersole has played
entirely upon the emotional keyboard
There is still the fully expressive
mask, but to my thinking subtlety
has gone from her work; it is all emo
tional and open, nothing is left to the
Imagination There! Is that enough
abuse for one person and for one
/ timer"
Miss Olga Nethersole when asked
for a reply to Miss Barrymore, merely
said.
No, thank you, / will not discuss
Miss Barrymore's art / have not
seen her for years. l knew her when
sac was quite young-her father was
in my company you know, and she
used to come to the theater l remem-
Der once letting her look over my
wardrobe, with which she seemed de-
lighted. Her mother / neved knew,
but am told that she was possessed
caustic wit, and | fear me that
Miss Ethel has inherited that wit
from her mother. But discuss Miss
