give advice And ii : always GOOD
advice, too. And then ii ,loesn I cost
YOU anything, but would be Of grea:
| benefit. if YOU would only act on ii.
I wonder if any grown up folks and
old folks like me ever read Buster
Brown. You know | think it is a
good tonic to read the funny paper,
as we children call it. Some time ago
i Buster had a round with monkey
and the whole monkey family and the
monkey got out Of the trouble. Then
Buster resolved as follows: "That
the baboon baby got out Of a Difficult
ty because his family had pull. And
the only way to pull off anything,
from a tent pole to rowing match,
is to pull together. The members OF
family are all in the same boat,
skimming over deep water, and any
monkey business with the oars means
shipwreck for the whole lot. Pull
together, and you can break down
anything that bars Your happiness
This resolve could be applied to
whole communities as we'll as families
and applied with as much force. Pull
together is a doctrine that ought to
be preached in every community II
the people of Newberry. for instance,
would pull "a little more together 1t
would be better for the community
and of course every member OF. the
community. We are all sklmmlng
over deep water and if we have too
much monkeying with the oars we
will 90 shipwreck together. We ought
to learn that in pulling together that
we could accomplish great things,
while if every man, woman and child
goes around with his hand at every
other man s, woman's and child s
throat that we are hurting ourselves
more than those we would lnJure.
Then why should We want to IN
iure anyone any way? Don't you
know Won would feel much better ii
you tried to help rather than to try
to pull down. Why not give this
method of pulling together and help
ing one another trlalg
T hear that city council has recently
built some four or five bridges over
the creeks in the city. 1t is hoped that
these will prove to be Of a permanent
character and that the force can get
back in the city and do something
permanent on our streets.
The rain will make the grass revive
and there will be more work tor the
street force. But the frost will be
here soon and then we will get
through with The grass brigade for
q season. Truth is, just as l have
told city council a number Of times,
we have too small a force Of street
hands. The city is trying to keep up
the streets with the same force Mr..
LTackson used to have some twenty
five or thirty years ago. And 1t can t
be did. That is the truth Of the whole
matter, and why council doesn't take
nv advice and put force of hands
in each ward under a sub-boss and let
Mr.. Wicker look after the whole bus
mess and do the permanent work, IS
beyond my comprehension.
/ see the Observer is Pearyite
while The Herald and News an
nounces its belief and faith in Cook.
Well, T have decided to wait until l
get further information from these
men before I nail my faith to either
pole. Truth is, 1 don't know much
about it, but l can't help believing
that there is sufficient ice around the
North Pole to make it possible for
both to have been there without the
other knowing anything about it. And
then, too, there is such thing pos
sible as neither one having been there.
And then in addition to that and
this it is a big enough thing to be
shared by both without having any
quarrel over it. Then | don t think 1t
was nice in Peary to use such Ian
guage as he did. Cook was much
more gentlemanly. I have reached
that age now whegr it is not pleasant
