THINKLETS

The question that causes worry, and
gray heads and wrinkled brows is:
"What are you doing now?''
There are comedies being played on
the stage of life every minute. Laugh
or the-laugh may be on you.
After hard day of toll, a general
physical cleanup gives one new grip
on life. In just the same way moral
and mental cleanup" will pave the
way to new ideas and better character.
The trend of modern business is to
stop the leaks. If scheme were de-
vised whereby one might stop wastes
in life, much more might be accom-
plished in the short span.
The height of some peoples ambi-
tons seem to be oiling a cash register
and tearing the leaves off calender.
1.-THE best laid plans of men gang
aft agley' because they are not laid
on solid foundation.
The man who does an accommodating
act with its return in view is not de-
serving of friendship.
True friendship warrants no thought
of return of favors.
At recent track meet many of the
athletes showed lack of training, con-
sequently no records were broken.
Which only goes to show that nothing
can be accomplished without adequate
training and preparation.
1t is not the appearance of the house,
nor the social standing of the inmates,
but the welcome, that counts.
If this town is not good enough for
you, it is time for you to move. A
community is never made better by
the presence of Knockers.
Ones future is never blighted by
criticism. If the criticism is unjust,
remember no one succeeds without go
ing contrary to some ones ideas and
wishes.
A quiet. peacable man is an adjunct
to any community. But the one who
builds up his community and makes it
a better place to live is the progressive
/ forceful man with fine disregard for
conventions and an earnest desire to
help humanity.
Every mans son is the best ball
player, student, or preacher in the
universe.
No matter what his past, anyone
who loves birds and flowers cannot
but have some good qualities.
A man who has made failure in life
has been jay driving.
Perhaps it were better we cannot see
into the future. The sight of the OBJ
stacles we must surmount might dis
courage US to further effort.
A daring thought or a daring deeC
excite com ment. Common places We
treat as unworthy of notice.
The walls of conventions are broken
down only by he who dares face criti-
cism and comment.
Farmers who buy machinery that i
out dated are wasting time and money
People who buy clothes designed for al
earlier period are ridiculed. But al
idea, no matter how old, outdated oil
: obsolete, will be accepted as the pure,
dyed-in-the-wooI, unadulterated quin
-tessence of intelligence
A young man of possibilities wa
heard TO remark last week that educa
ton was fake. ssHe would get hin
a pool hall and make some money
I Poor, deluded, unfortunate. When h
, discovers his jewel is glass; it viii be
too late to obtain the real gem.
We must have a few extra farm
+ loans this month. Any amour
. from $1,000, tor $4,000. Lov
