JOHN LEARNED HIS LESSON
Fathers Little Homily on the Evils Of
Procrastination Produced the
Desired Effect on Son.

"John," said Doctor Brown to his
son. that grass has needed cutting for
some days"
"Yes. sir" replied John. II am going
to cut it tomorrow"
at isn't very important whether or
not the grass Is cut" answered his fn-
Their, "but it's extremely important
you have the right state of mind about
getting at what needs to be done. There
is legend that satan once offered a
prize to the demon who should suggest
the surest method of damning mems
souls. One brought forward a most
brilliant argument to demonstrate the
futility of goodness. Another most
luringly pictured the attractions of
evil. Another proposed that the satanic
legions should admit the wisdom and
the glory of Righteousness, but should
concentrate their powers on persuading
men to put off the day when they
should begin to practice Righteousness.
Satan is said to have awarded his
prize to that suggestion.
"Therc is no question" continued the
doctor, that the greatest enemy to
goodness in the world is procrastina-
ton. Every man that lives means some
day to lead good life. You have seen
that little placard on Office walls, DO 1t
Nowp 1t ought to be before our eyes
wherever we go. 1t ought to be writ
ten in our minds. Just as soon as we
discern the right thing to be done, we
ought to set about doing it without de-
lay. If we delay today, it's twice as
easy to delay again tomorrow. Get the
habit, John, in small things. If the
grass ought to be cut now, then require
of yourself that you cut 1t now. If your
Latin ought to be prepared now, then
don't risk the chance of getting the
procrastlnating habit by putting 1t off
to another time. I don't urge you to
plunge into things without thinking.
Take all the time you need to come to
your conclusions. Bat when your
Judgment tells you thing surely ought
to be done, get at 1t at the first possible
moment. Do it now!"
John started for the door. "That
grass ought to be cut, that's sure" he
said "and Pm going to do 1t now !'-

How Grass Grows

1t may be matter of surprise that
tender young grass can ever force its
way up through hard ground. The
principle is the same as that of OPEN
ing a tin of condensed milk. Tie
sharp point of the tin opener is first
inserted in the tin and when an en-
trance has been forced the blade can
follow. So it is with the grass. Each
blade has a fine point, which, by the
mysterious power Of growing life,
forces its way between the particles of
soil, however tightly they may be
packed together and thus passage IL
made for the blade to follow,

 The fact that the Cotton Plant boosters who started after the Brinkley men had started. have organized their district, sold their bonds and let contract for their road, is thrown up to us quite frequently and in as much as Brinkley has been fore ed to snuff the dust of that live bunch of Cotton Plant boosters on other occasions, its just a little bit humihating to have to
The Brinkley argus., 1917-09-14

SURELY there is not town
 the size of Brinkley in all Arkan- sas that sc sorely needs an or ganizatiou of community forces as does dear old Brinkley." Just Ia little bit of team work right now by our merchants and land owners would easily and surely result in hundreds of thousands of dollars being saved to our people next spring, by the plant ing of wheat. Some of cur farm CTS are going ahead and plan hing to plant wheat. working out the problem themselves of feeding the people. just as they arc doing about the marketing of their big sweet potato crop, but l contend that the farmers are deserving of the free coop eration and assistance from the merchants and land owners in solving these problems. Brink ley can't grow or come into it's own as real enterprising town and community center until our citizens awake to the truth of these facts. If you expect to sell goods to the farmers for a profit, Mir. Merchant, then it is up to you to see that the farmers get the highest possible prices for their products.

favoring higher prices for such spec
uIative issues as shippings and fer
tilizers, while a. more formidable ele-
ment engaged in further attacks upon

Rails and tr%ctions were under in

were again prompted by unfavorable
warnings and the more recent attitude
of the Interstate Commerce Commits

Third Avenue shares dropped 3 IL
points, with Z Is for the adjustment

The early rise in fertilizers, which ave-

nouncement of the governments in
tention to appropriate large sum for
the purchase of nitrates and other pro-

Shippings and associated shares

HOWARD BERRY WONDERFUL
ALL-ROUND ATHLETE
ExceIIs on Track. Diamond, Gridiron
at Penn.

There is no doubt that Howard Ber-
ry is the most wonderful all-round
athlete who ever wore the red and
blue of Old Penn. In all the history
of athletics at the Quaker institution
there is not name so significant of
athletic prowess as that of the boy
who for the third consecutive year
won the pentathlon championship of
America and whose last appearance
in the Red and Blue which he carried
to his own fame and the glory of his
alma mater was in the two mile cham
pionship relay race. Among the an
cient Hellenes Berry would have been
idoliZed and perhaps reified for he is
a natural athlete. He excelled on track,
diamond and sridiron as no Penn man
ever did befoYe him and we believe
no collegian ever displaye% greater
versatility in athletics than he. There
more varsity letters. but only because
Berry limited his participation to two
major sports, baseball and football.
His track honors were only incidental.
He did all his training on field and
track in spare moments taken from
baseball practice. Had he devoted
time and energy, Berry would have
been a strong oarsn1an, a star bas-
player. In short. he could have be-
come expert in any line of sport to
which he devoted his time.
Records and recollection fail to re-
veal DuL Two atnlOlSS WHO we De-
lieve were the equal of Berry in all
round excellence. One was George o.
Barclay. of Lafayette college, now
dead. Pitted against Berry in pen
tathlon competitor, we believe the
Quaker would have won. In a contest
embracing the thirteen track and field
events we are inclined to give Bar
clay the victory. On the gridiron and
diamond perhaps Barclay was supe-
rior: certainly as a ball player. be-
causa a flor his cOIIepe DAYS he nIaV-
ed for years in the National League.
Like Berry. he was a halfba ok. fleet
and elusive and a towering f7gurt on
the defensive. Barclay was a sprint
err and broad jumper. but could pole
vault, hurdle and compete in the
weights. Like Berry he used to
change his baseball uniform for track
togs when called upon to practice for

WAR CALL HONOR
TO BALL PLAYERS.
Ban johnson Declares That PA Major
League Stars Will Have to Go.

BasebalI-to use the words of Ban
Johnson-will be honored and glorified
by a war call to it's young men who
are eligible to military service, accord
ing to present plans of the war de-
partment. Someone asked Ban if base
ball would suffer" through selectiVe
Consumption, and Johnson instantly
resented the word
Approximately PA men in both big
leagues will be drafted if the call goes
out before the end of the season. One
hundred and thirteen of these will come
from the American league and 101
from Governor Tener's circuit.
The fact that the American league
clubs. for the most part, are being
drilled constantly will have little effect,
for what they are learning in baseball
drilling camps would be only a begin
ming to the instruction they would re-
ceive in a big army encampment.
The only hope for a respite seems
to lie in the fact that mobilization at
the camps probably will not begin un-
til September when the baseball sea
son is rapidly drawing near the end.
4 month might be granted the men to
finish and then report. The worlds
series might suffer badly.
Among the stars of the game who
are believed to be eligible to service
are Benny Kauff of the Giants, Howard
Ehmke of the Tigers, Dave Davenport
and Allan Sothoron of the Browns, Joe
Judge and Harry Harper of the Sena-
tors. Jesse Barnes, Walter Meanwhile,
Arthur Nehf and Bill James of the
Braves, Leon Galore of the Dodgers,
Reuther and Workman of the Cubs.
Cueto, Kopf, Mitchell, Rousch and
Sanders of the Reds, Walter Hollle,
Fred Schupp and Kilduff of the Giants,
Bancroft Oeschger. Stock and Whitfield
Grimes and Warner of the Pirates, and
Hornsby of the Cards.
