When Silence Is Golden

When you don't know, keep silence.
On such occasions silence is golden.
The man who cannot control himself
is not free man. He Is the sport Of
every wind that blows. He Is for some.
thing when he has just talked with
man who Is for 1t. He Is quite as
strongly against it after listening to
one who Is against 1t, and will be just
as ready to change again under some
other PERSONS influence. His opinion
Is valueless because 1t Is never his own.
1t Is well to think carefully of sub
ject before expressing an opinion on 1t.
DO not allow yourself to be influenced
by specious reasoning, still less by talk
In which there Is no reason. The
more important the subject, the more
need of self control.-EXchange

nails" In that circumstance alone lay
the interest taken by the people OF
the Moluccas In the plant, and mali

countries.

be plenty, doing Thursday at the fair
to make it rank high UP with any
other day. Not only will the Old

has decided to repeat its performance
of last year and have Thursday as

the United States and the world are
invited to be present on this occas'
ion and the Swaney company has
bought a car load of watermelons for
free distribution to Ford owners and
the occupants of Ford cars as many
come into the grounds. All you have
to do to get free slice Of watermel-
