Why Don't You go to Church /?

You are "too tired to go to
church." That's sheer nonsense.
There isn't place on this conti-
nent so> restful as the church.
You are going to lie around the
house, all day; doze in hammock;
loll in a rocking chair; go to sleep
over a book. That isn't resting,
that's loafng. Tell yourself, hon
estly-did you ever in ali your life
see a loafer who looked rested?
Did you ever see loafer who
didn't look tired all the time? The
people who try to rest are always
tired. Resting is the hardest work
in the world, when you ma ke work
of it. Two hours in church, two
hours in the quite; the music, the
sermon, the reading, the uplift
which comes from the new chan
nels into which your mind is led,
will rest you more physically,
morally, Intellectually, than all the
day spent in trying to rest. Why
don't you go to church Bob

Stolen Thoughts.

One way to cut your expenses is
to cut your friends.
Second thoughts are best, when
they are less expensive.
1t isn't the girl with the most
cheek who does the most blushing.
Many mans head is overruled
either by his heart or his stomach.
We live and learn, but those
who live fastest don't always learn
most.
Many man goes to bed feeling
like a king, and wakes up feeling
like the deuce.
The average small boy hasn't
much use for a thing that won't
make a noise.
There are many different kinds
of fools, but don't try to be all Of
them at once.
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1913-03-13

Let others do as they wish, but
as for yourself, try to do that which
is for the betterment of your health
and the prolonging of your nerve

The Public Dance

In the following editorial, which
we take from the Okolona Metho-
dist, paper edited and published
by Rev. j. Fl. Holder-formerly a
pastor of Main Street Methodist
church in this city-in the in
terest of his PASTORAL work there,
the subject under consideration is
so we'll treated, that we are glad
we have it to give to our readers,
1t is dignified criticism and
censure of the modern dance that
will appeal to the sincere consider
alton and judgment of those who
thoughtIessly indulge in this un-
Christlike social functions:
There is now an instructive hes
itancy in opposing our friends
We love them, we prize their love
as few people do. But when there
turks the deadly peril we wish to
deal candidly, fairly with them,
though we may sacrifice their
friendship. A town has no use
for a minister who knows or cares
nothing of its social perils 1t has
less use for one who sees these
evils but is too much a coward to
warn against them. On the other
hand it seems worse to employ
minister whose judgment we do
not trust and whose knowledge of
things spiritual is discredited.
One of the greatest evils to the
moral and spiritual welfare of any
town is the dance hall There is
nothing SO inuervating to the moral
life or that more quickly dries up
the fountain of spiritual life than
the modern round dance aud the
atmosphere of the ball room. The
spiritual leaders of all churches
unite in condemnation of the dance
as real peril. 1t is not in the
GLASS of the diversions but of
dissipation Many good people are
insnared, many join innocently,
but none escape without blunted
or deadened spiritual power. 1t

In early manhood Rector. convinced

He told his lifelong friends of his inten-
tions to quit the old custom; to wage
war against the traffic in which he once

States in its relentless fight against the
moonshiners.
Eight years ago he left the mountains,
twenty miles away, and came to Green
willie. The police commissioners. con-
WINGED he was endeayoring to live up TO
the law, gave him work on the city po-
lice force. For several years he so fear
lessly performed his duty as a policeman,
arresting and apprehending men who
would kill to gain their point, that his
name was on the lips of every man,
woman, and child in this city. His
friends persuaded him to enter the race
for County Sheriff, a position held for
the past fifty years by father and son of
but one family, and one other man. He
was elected by a majority of Is in a vote
of moro than 5000 His enemies fought
him fiercely, at every opportunity cast

For years there has lived in this city a
clan of men, the arrest of one of whom
has meant the jeopardizing of the life
of the arresting officer. Today things
are different, for Rector has cleaned

artists. Being a remarkable revolver

heretofore never hesitated TO do murder

straighter than the one he has placed

The Call to Arms.

The Call TO Arms
This was one side of the picture. The
other side was that the crisis at once

plain people, the men and women back

bureaucracy and Red Tape.
There was one worthy bureau chief
who was continually refusing applications
of mine as irregular. In each case
would appeal to Secretary Alger-whO
helped me in every way-and get an order
from him countenancng the irregularity.
For instance, ] found out that as We were
nearer the July rate than the January
date for the issuance of clothing, and as
1t had long been customary to issue the
winter clothing in July, so as to give
ample leisure for getting it to ali the
various posts, il was therefore solemnly
proposed to issue this same winter cloth
ing to us who were about to start for
summer campaign in the tropics. This
would seem incredible to those who have
never dealt with an inert oficialdom, a
red-tape bureaucracy, but such is the
| fact. / rectifed this and got an order
! for khaki clothing. We were then told
we would have to advertise thirty days
for horses. This meant that we would
| have missed the Santiago expedition. So
made another successful appeal to the
secretary. Other difficulties came up

In each case the same result followed

worried office head, who bore me no
animosity. but who did feel that fate
had been very unkind. threw himself back
! in his chair and exclaimed with a sigh:
"Oh. dear. had this office running In
such good shape-and then along came
the war and upset everything" His
| feeling was that war was an illegitimate
interruption to the work of the War De-
| partment.
There were, OF course, department
heads and bureau chiefs and assistants
who, in spite of the worthlessness of the
system. and of the paralyzing conditions
that had prevailed, remained first-clsss
men. An example Of these was Commits
sary Gen. Weston. His energy, activity.
administrative efficiency, and common
sense were supplemented by an eager de-

Referring to the remains OF the ante
lope which were removed from the cave,
Prof Gidley says that their appearance
was most unexpected, and seems to have
a special significance in reference to the
probable migrations and world distribu-
ton Of these large antelopes during the
Pleistocene period. The fact that no re-
mains of this animal have been found in
any Of the Pleistocene deposits of the
West, which deposits are better exposed
and have been so much more thoroughly
explored than those of the East sug-
gests that the time of this migration to
America was probably during one of the
intergiacial epochs when there was q
route open to the north Of the Great
Lakes by which they may have reached

ersing the plains country.
