CAMPAIGN SHOTS.

County Superintendent Wallace of
Iralll county, In a recent address to
the agricultural students criticized
the present course of study for rural
schools severely. He says it needs
Oterhauling and should be adjusted
to suit present conditions. The
state superintendent of instructions
has been so busy with high schools
that the rural schools have been ne
elected. He realizes this and points
Out that he endeavored to get bill
through the last legislature giving
more money to rural schools, which
Governor Sarles vetoed. The coun.
try schools do not need and are not
asking for financial aid so much as
proper attention, and the bill was q
mere blind to quiet criticism.
Hansbrough's latest effort to make
political capital is to claim credit
for the appointment of Fred Den.
nett Of Milton as commissioner of the
general land Office Mr.. Dennet was
simply advanced from assistant com.
missioner on merit and Hansbrough
had nothing to do with it. Presi-

THE post office is catching up on

THE post Office is catching up on
its deficit. This year it is only six
and half million dollars. In the
old days it was nearly half as much
as the entire receipts, but now it is
less than four per cent, 1t would
be less if the government depart
ment were charged their share OF
the expense. and of course that is
merely a matter of bookkeeping
And if the amount paid the rail
ways were brought down to rea-
sonable price for the service rem
dered there would be no deficit,
but profit. But as matter OF
fact nobody wants the post Office
to make money. Its profits should
go, TO the extension and improve

THE Statement of ]. j. Harris &

Star makes splendid showing OF
the financial strength of this firm
and Notwithstanding the fact that
this bank never solicits deposits
the amount of the peoples money
entrusted to its care shows the con-
fidence in which its management is
held by the public. A strict adher-
ence to sound banking principles,
with no mix-up in wild cat
speculation is what counts in sue
cessful banking, and Dolores for
tunately these strenuous times, is
blessed with that kind of an insti-

THE great word of today is mot
more laws, but more law" There
is new determination in the heart
of the American people to make
the law more effective. and to
visit with keener displeasure
the despiser and the evader of the
will of the people. The old re-
proach, that this country possessed
more statutes and had less regard
for them than any other civilized
land, is passing away. And the
men who do not realize that, and
who refuse to be warned of the
gathering storm of popular wrath,
are sure to experience a most un-
pleasant awakening.

What Shall We Do With ltp

We have entered into the New Year,
says the Epworth Herald. What are
we going to do with it? God has
opened wide the door, and We have
crossed the threshold into new palace
Of many beautiful chambers. How
are we going to use his hospitality? He
has brought us to u new harvest field;
and, with words of cheerful exhorta-
tion, he has placed us face to face with
our tasks. In this harvest field there
are few who really labor, although
there is much to do. Are we going to
be faithful to the Lord of the harvest
and to ourselves, or Indifferent, in
dolent and incompetent.
Some things are worth while, but we
do not always strive with all our
might for the doing of them. And
some things are not worth while, but
we strive most strenuously to accom-
plish them. 1t is the child chasing
the gossamer in the field again. Life
is more serious than mere chasing of
of gossamers; for God has given it to
us that we may accomplish the highest
things with it. Let us do the worthier
things this year, and every year. Let
us perform the nobler service. Let US
accumulate riches that are beyond
reach of robber or corruptipg taint of
selfish rust
There is much to be done this year,
and some of it must be done by you.
1t is altogether likely that you will
not do all you hoped or desired to, but
that need not be a source of discourage
ment. A great poet once said that it is
not what man does that exalts him,
but what he would do; the aim, if
reached or not, makes great the life.
Oliver Goldsmith, whose path of life
was by no means smooth one, re-
marked that our greatest glory con-
sists, not in never falling, but in rising
every time we fall, which is an echo
of the proverb of Scripture, "a just
man falleth seven times and riseth up
again" True it is that the best men
are nodded out of faults, and the men
who achieve come up out of the great
tribulation of many defeats.

Care for Soft corne

Each morning before putting on the
stocking, tear off strip of the mar
gin of newspaper, and wrap it
around the toe next to the one that
has the soft corn on. Get it exactly
opposite, so that the corn will rest
against the paper. This will keep
perspiration from irritating the corn
and the natural friction of the toes
in walking will grind the corn down
until 1t will entirely disappear. In the
meantime you will enjoy life, for
you will get the benefit as soon as
the paper is adjusted.
