censes This Season and More Coming.

County Clerk Jones has established
a new record for hunting licenses in

rouRrEEN ERRoRs OF LIFE

The IA mistakes OF life are:
To expect to set up our own stand

everybody to conform to 1t.
To try to measure the enjoyment or
others by our own.
To expect uniformity Of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifies.
To look for projections in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and otheres
about what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that
needs aleviation.
Not to make allowance for the
weaknesses Of others.
To consider ANYTHING impossiple
that we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite MINDS
can grasp.
To live as il the moment. the time
the day were so important that II
would live forever.
To estimate people by some out
side quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.
