HEAVY SNOW
FALLS HERE
Heavy Snow BlOckades Roads and
Rural Route Carriers are In
able to Deliver Mail.

The heaviest snow to fall in this
section in the memory of very old
men fell Saturday and Sunday.
Measurements from several sections
of the county varied from eighteen
to twenty-five inches. Stock of all
kinds have suffered considerably
and it is thought that many part
ridges, rabbits, etc., will be starved.
About twenty years ago this sec
ton was visited by a heavy snow
storm but the present one surpasses
that one by several inches. Rural
route carriers were unable to travel
their routes Monday, however as the
roads were partially broken today
the carriers were enabled to deliver
mail to part of their patrons.
Those interested in hunting should
see that few bundles of oats are
placed where cartridges use or they
will starve.

loads at $500 pounds and the
scales showed 4,475. The tobacco
was placed on twenty baskets at
the Robertson house and Mr.. Henry

basket to bring. The tobacco was
sold the next day and the following

The Mt. Sterling Laundry Com

operation, and those in charge wish
to correct this impression.

INSPIRATION OF WORK.

1t has been a phrase common in
America that work of all kinds is dig
nified.
But while it has sounded good from
the platform, it has been hard for
the man in the ditch or on the farm
to take much stock in the dignity Of
his job. What we call dirty work"
has never attracted many men be-
cause of any idea of dignity that they
attached to it. H.
Now we are about to put real dig
nifty into work of all kinds-just so
it is useful work.
Every resource of the nation is in
the balance-in for the fight to free
a world.
Every bit of useful work helps to
bring victory. There is new inspira-
ton about all work now, no matter
of what kind, if it is only useful.
Whatever work there is that needs
ITO be done now is work for all hu-
mainly. On the face of it, the job
may not look that way without some
thought about it-but it is that way.
Every stroke of real, useful work
done now is part Of the great strug-
gle for freedom. If there is inspira-
ton and dignity in this great struggle
for human rights-and never was
there more in anything-then that
dignity attaches in full measure to
every effort that contributes, in the
smallest measure, to winning that
conflict. And whatever helps keep
this nation in running order, our cit.
les in running order, our machinery
of civilization working, helps to win
the war.
Today. as never before, work
counts, work is dignified, work is the
foundation of things.
Take a new look at your Job, work
ers of America. Take a look and
think about this new importance, this
new dignity, this new inspiration that
is yours as you do your share to make
America clean and strong.
