LET THE PIGS DO THE GRUNT1NG
Let the pigs do the granting.

Let the pigs do the granting.
There is better work ahead for us
Granting never lessened the burden OF a load, never pulled a COM
nunity ut of a rut, never added a dollar to any mans bank account
Granting makes pesimsts, and pessimists have bad ivers, and
around.
And pessimsts are always granting about something.
They grunt it times are bad; they grunt because they are not better
when they are good; they grunt their meals, and politics.
and religion, and anything else that offers a chance to grunt.
And then they grunt because there is nothing lett to grunt about
Granting is a habit with them-it is their daily pashme-and
nothing is 81 dear to their hearts IS a great, big unadulturated grunt.
Many of us grunt a part of the time, but some folks grunt all OF
the time.
Now let's quit gruntng.
Let's get down to hard tacks and dig a lot of wealth out of tms
community. It's here, but grunhng won't do the digging.
Let's make the coming year the greatest productive year in local
history.
Let's get out and husle-lets find the opportunities, or make them
where exist.
The soil is a rich today as it wa a year ago, and it will produce
Is much and the products will sell for more money.
There is nothing produced in this community but has a market
waiting for it, If we don't see the market, let's get out and lind It,
Time is too short for it to hunt is.
Let's not sit o dry goods boxes and wait for the world to come
our feet. We will die granting if we do.
There's a great big place for us in the world. Let's fill it-lets
that We are producers, that W e are something more than grunters.
Let's be optimists-for optimists do things, and never grunt.
Let the pigs do the granting.
There are better times and more congenial work ahead for u.s..
Let's all get busy and whoop it up.

MANY TITLES MAKE A MUCH

How would you like to sit down at your desk, u over your ac
counts, and absorb the knowledge that anywhere from one to five
hundred people yer indebted to you in sums from so cents to $500?
And how would you like to LEI those good people day by day
without their ever thinking of offering you the small amount due you?
And how would you like to see these same good people paying
their other bills promptly month by month and again forgetting yours?
And wouldn't you just revel in the knowledge that all of these
small amounts combined, if suddenly collected up. would swell your
bank account to the tune of $500 or $1,000?
When you reach the point where you can appreciate the grim
humor OF such a condition, and keep right O smiling, you will have
qualified yourself for the life of a country editor.
And when you reach that point you will wonder why in
blazes you never thought of tie editor when paying your other
bills, and you will just push the breeze until you reach his shop and
hand him that little mite you w him.
Here's hoping you soon qualfy-for you know, brother, that many
Titles make a much, and in the editorial purse there is always room f.
more.

HOLD.UP MEN VISIT
CRAP PLAYING HAUNT
Bronx Youths Afford Rich Loot
and Make No Complaint.

An attempt 70 borrow a dime in a
certain coterie of the younger sporting
element Of The Bronx last night was as
futile as would have been an attempt to
float the Anglo-French loan in Hoboken.
A crap game, interrupted at the
points of five revolvers during the
early hours of Sunday morning, was re-
sponsible. About twenty-five Bronx
youths were gathered in a small frame
house in st. AIMS Avenue, absorbed In
the game, when an automobile contain
ing five men stopped at the door.
One Of the quintet gave the password
10 doorkeeper. Once inside, five re-
volvers appeared, and voices behind the
guns ordered the gamblers to line up
against the wall. While they stood in
that awkward position one of the hold
up men took up collection, which
netted him $1,000 in cash, two pocket
fuls of watches, more cuff links than
could be lost from soft-laundered
shirts in year and an assortment OF
stickpins and other miscellaneous arti-
cles of value.
The robbers departed as quietly and
unostentatiously as they came. The vic
tins went home. The police were not
notified. At least one crap game in his
tory broke up without the losers mag
nifying their losses and the winners
minimizing their gains. Everybody was
broke.
