If.

If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubt
ing, too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hat
ing,
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise.
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master,
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim.
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster,
And treat those two imposters just
the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools.
If you can make one heap of all YOUR
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch
and toss,
And lose, and start again at your
beginnings
And never breathe a word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the Will which says to them,
"Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with Kings, nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you; but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
tance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything
that's in it,
And (which is more-youll be a
Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kiplinp.

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners OF rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require a thorough overeauling ecca-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
overhauled at least year and that least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
OF the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service we
will appreciate their talking the matter with our
Manager or writing fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dton of your line.

convicts Build Road.

A celebrated penologist in attempt
ing to solve the problem of unem-
ployment for c%onvicts, points out that
they have been successfully used in
Ohio in experimental road building.
The state highway commissioner has
recently forwarded to the national
committee on prisons a report of this
work, which was undertaken to de-
termine which type of road would
successfully stand heavy traffic.
This work was started late in the
season and it was very difficult to
obtain free labor. For this reason it
was decided to try out convict labor.
It is estimated that about two-thirds
of the work was done by convicts.
The convicts were taken each day
from the p~enitentiary to and from
the work in a motor truck operated
by a convict. After taking the con-
victs to work in the morning, the
truck returned to the penitentiary for
other duties during the day, return
in the evening to take the men home.
The convicts we're all negro men,
and the number working each day
varied from II to 25. One guard, I'M
armed, accompanied them. There
was no effort on the part of the men
to escape.

WILSON ETOEs ARMY BILL ADVISED TO GRAB" TRADE
DIVERGENT OPINIONS AS II
CONDITIONS AFTER WAR.
MeAdoo Believes America Will Be
Dictator, While Financier opines
We Will Lose Out.

Washington, d. C.-Two distinct
schools of thought regarding what is
to happen in the business world at
the close of the European war are
growing up in this country. One is
that the end of strife will bring an
era of great prosperity to the United
States through the opening of new
markets and the general stimulation
of a long dormant world trade. The
other is that the war debts of the
beHigerent nations will prove SO
very heavy that they will be utterly
crippled and unable to cope with the
rest of the trading world.
The first theory is championed by
Adolph G. Miller of San Francisco, a
member of the federal reserve board,
and one of the leading economists of
the country. The other is champ
toned by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and by DR.. E. E. Pratt, chief
of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. They have been sctive in
making speeches on the two sides OF
the question.
Both theories, however, are of q
character to induce American business
men to get out and hustle; n group
says: go out and grab the worlds
trade because if you don't the Euro
pean nations will do it to your de
triment." This being the case, it APP
pears at Washington as though Amer
lean business men should be pretty
well prepared for what is coming II
they are needing the teachings thai
emanate from the national capital.

ONE PROVISION MAKES Ir OBJ.
JECTIoNABLE.
No Reason Why Retired Officers
should Be Exempt From Rules
of War Office.

Washington, D. c. President
Wilson vetoed the army appropriation
bill. At the same time he sent to
the house a lengthy message, making
it plain that this action vas due en-
tirely to the incorporation into the
of the provision that retired
officers should not be subjected to
the articles of war.
1t is expected that the provision
which the president complains about
will be eliminated and that the bill
then will beer.7passed by both the
house and sehhdSane I'd signed.
In his veto message, the president
declared that the army bill is an
essential part of the natural de-
tense plan and that he experienced
genuine reluctance" in delaying its
going into effect by asking that the
Objectionable provision be eliminated.
He admits the necessity Of bringing
the articles Of war up to date, as
they are in the bill, but declares
they should apply to all officers, both
active and retired.
In conclusion the president says:
"The purpose Of the articles of war
in times of peace is to bring about a
uniformity in the application of mill
tary discipline which will make the
entire organization coherent and eff
fective and to engender a spirit OF
cooperation to authority, which will
in time Of war, instantly make the
entire army a unit in its purpose of
self-defense and devotion to duty in
the national defense. Those purposes
cannot be accomplished If the re-
tired officers, still a part Of the mill
tary establishment, still relied upon
to perform important duties, are ex-
cluded, upon retirement, from the
wholesale and unifying effect of this
subsection to a common discipline"

Telegraph and Telephone Company
arrived in Corpus Christi from Rock
port, where he vas visiting when the
storm struck there. He says the
damage at Rockport was heavy, but nc
loss of life was reported. Arkansas
Pass, Gates said, probably suffered
most from the storm. Details from
that place were meager.
At Rockport, Gates said, scarcely 6
building escaped damage, and a mum
Der, including the city hall, were de
molished. Every boat in the harbor
with one exception, was either SUM
or washed ashore and only one piel
remains.
"The beach front is covered will
debris and hundreds Of snakes were
washed ashore from St. Joseph Is
land" said aGtes. Many of thu
snakes were ~rattlers, measuring
