WHY / LOST
u MY JOB

Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Cam
not Satisfy Their Employers
II believe my fate Is not unlike that
Of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know, mad probably would not
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along, 1t is usually, Your SER
vices no longer required" If the truth
were known, the reason for their I'M
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because of some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear,
rapid, active and free from outside in
fuence or worry, or else we go down
who go from one place of employment
to another, giving no satisfaction to
others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with
no ambition, no will power, and no
hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from
All fretful indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full of
troubles. That's why 1 lost my job.
My stomach In the first place was al

grouchy. That was the end.

Take my advice. A healthy stomach

Ground Hog Saw Shadow

The time-worn idea of. there being
ground hog day was watched with
much interest by the Cullman people
and especially those engaged In truck
farming. February 2 dawned as one of
the brightest days of the year and If
the ground hog failed to see his shadow
it was his own fault. so far as Gull
man is concerned. To say the least, the
warm weather which has prevailed here
for the past several days is being the
cause of some alarm for the fruit crop.
The buds on the trees have already
begun to swell, and an occasional peach
bloom can be seen, and 1t is feared
that there is in store some weather
that may put an end to fruit and berry
crop in Cullman county.

Robertson, has recently fell upon plan
by which he expects to greatly add
to the appearance of the town at a
very small cost by tearing away many
of the old buildings that have for many
years been an eyesore to citizens of the

cially one of these old buildings is the

Interested In Injunction Case

1t Is believed that the action of the
supreme court of the state in sustain
ing the injunction clause of the Fuller
and Carmichael laws will have a ma
terial effect upon conditions In Gull
man. Cullman was the first town in
Alabama that made an effort to close
by injunction the places where whisky
was being illegally sold. The Fulton
case went up to the supreme court
from Birmingham, and the matter of
the Cullman cases was postponed pend
ing the outcome of the Birmingham
case
Now that the law has been again sus-
tained by the supreme court 1t is ex-
pected that some action will be taken
in the Cul,man cases. That something
is expected to be done is evidenced in
the fact that 1t Is awfully dry" here
just at this time.

A NEW SYSTEM
OF CONDUCTING
The DEBATES

A new system of conducting the
debating affairs of the Salem High
school Is to be shortly introduced by
Principal Kirk, whereby each and
every member of that institution will
be given an opportunity to gain some
experience in this important line of
work. The secret Of the plan Is a
system Of class and lnterclass de
bates. First debates will be held In
each class in the school in which
every member will take part. The
more efficient will be matched
against each other, until two or three
in each class have proven themselves
superior Having in this manner
chosen the best debaters in each indl-
yidual class, the various classes will
be pitted against each other In the
following manner. SOphOmOres yer
sus freshmen and seniors versus jun
iors, The two winning teams will
then debate; the upper class submit
ting a question and the lower class
having the choice Of the side they
are to maintain.
This plan will stimulate class
spirit. increase the interest OF the
students in debate and prove itself a
great benefit in fitting students to
/ represent the high school in her de.
bates with outside teams. Mr.. Kirk
considers the plan is so favorable TO
the interests of the students that he
| is seriously contemplating awarding
credit in English to each Of the
debaters who win out in the final
debate, and thus prove themselves
the champions of the school AL
ready much interest is expressed in
the working out OF the plan, and the
students themselves are becomingl Is
most staunch supporters.
