QUIT YOUR WORRYING.

Worry is part of the creed Of too
many people in Lordsburg. They get
up in the morning worrying about
what the day will bring forth; they
worry about the children, about the
balance at the bank. about the high
cost of high living, about the price Of
gasoline, and about the fellow paying
attention to their eldest daughter.
There is less cause for worry in
Lordsburg than in almost any other
place in the country, we firmly be-
lieve; but that is no guarantee that
the bothersomn curse of worry is not
working overtime here as elsewhere.
In this connection consider a note
from the U. S. Public Health Bureau,
We trust every person in Lordsburg
takes 1t to heart. If this is done all
will be the better for it. Here are
the words:
$50 far as is known, no bird has
eve tried 10 build more nests than
its neiOhbors: no fox ever fretted be-
cause he had only one hole in which
10 hide: no squirrel ever died of anx-
iety lest he should not Law by enough
nuts for two winters instead of one;
no dog ever lost any sleep over the
fact that he did not have enough
bones laid aside for his declining
years"

SAY AMERICANS ARE HONEST.

If YOU wish TO learn some illumi-
mating sidelights On the people of the
United States you ought to hunt out
some friend who has carried on a
business by mail. He will very prob
ably tell you that the people in some
sections are honest and better than
those anywhere else. He will do this
because his experience has taught
him so.
A man who has large correspond
ence throughout the United States
told us recently that he found the
average customer in far off states to
be a pretty fair trader, although at
intervals some exception to the rule
butted in to accuse him Of trying to
steal and another jumped out while
stealing himself. Even with the man
who stops in debt, he said, he had
enough faith to believe that he meant
well. Hard luck, or pure careless
ness, were the two things which kept
most of them from paying up and
acting square.
The people in the United States,
according to this man, are a pretty
good type. He declares he would
trust them anywhere in preference to
any other people, although here and
there a black sheep stays in the fold
20 darken the looks Of the rest of the
flock. If you keep your eyes open
for the exception you will get along
all right with those you never see, is
his ultimatum.
In every town it is the same.
There are some citizens here who are
never known to pay up their bills
and the merchants have to hang onto
them like leeches in order TO get a
proportion of the claim settled.
Every citizen here knows the truth of
what we say. Just as this friend of
our saws, people mean TO pay but they
put off doing so until they forget or
are not able. Too many people wait
until it is more convenient to pay
and because that time never comes
thew are accused of being dishonest.
We wish all our citizens, especially
our subscribers, would try to remem
Der this. We will never think you
are crooked because we know you
better than that, but sometimes there
may be others who do not know you
and you will be misjudged. Come
around to the merchants you owe and
tell them you will pay them. They
will give YOU all the time you need,
and you'll feel a lot better after do
ing so.

FINDS TOBACCO IN HER SKIRT.

Slick Deadbeat, the Pumpkin Hill
merchant, who went over to Turnip
Ridge last week to attend the Grind
stone Dealers convention, will find
out that the store business is not
what it is cracked up to be when he
gets back TO Pumpkin Hill. While
gone, Slick left the store in charge
Of his clerk, Abe Skinner, and last
Monday Miss Parry Gorick of Snake
River stepped in and bought a skirt
which she wanted to wear at the
Mule Doctors Picnic next Tuesday.
When she put the skirt on for The
first and last time and sat down in
her grandfather's easy chair to adj
mire the absence Of moth holes, etc,
she spied a square obstacle in the
lining and pulled out a plug Of chew
ing tobacco. OF course, Miss Parry
few plum off and went right back to
Sticks store and threw the skirt in
Abe's nose, swearing that she would
do the same thing to Slick when he
got back. We have found out since
that the whole trouble is Sticks own
fault, because he didn't tell Abe to
take the tobacco out, when he sold
the skirt. Probably Slick didn't think
it was necessary, as he had v
sold a skirt before. Slick keeps all
his plug tobacco in the clothing de-
partment behind the cheese stand,
sticking a plug in everything he has
to keep the insects out while he amt
looking. Before he got on to this
scheme he used to sit by the door

picked up and he got a customer
every now and then he couldn't sit
at the door all day long and the moths,

he wasn't looking. That is when
Slick studied out his tobacco killer

whether Slick viii continue to do this
