TEXAS EDITOR STATES TuR

A west Texas editor got tired Of b.

casional typographical error or slight
disarrangement of the facts in pub
fishing y commonplace news item.
In his wrath he announced the fact
in boldface type as fsllovs:

an editorial liar, ever since have been
editing this sheet, but I have never

to save somebody's feelings from be-

THE TOILERS OF THE FIELDS

These are the days when the town
man likes to hitch up the tin Lizzie
and take a little spin around the coun-
try, basking in the golden sheen Of
the milsmmer sun. 1t is on these trips
that the average town man smugiy
and esconsed in the self satisfaction
of the well being gets the impression
that the job of harvesting is hard and
exhausting work. He looks at the
perspiring toilers in the fields and
thanks goodness that he is growing
soft and lazy at some indoor job. He
pities the toilsome farmer, who per-
chance of circumstances must rise at
four or five o'clock and work until
dark whereby he is comdemed to TASKS
that involve much physical effort.
Theoretically the modern farm :r
may be supported to put the more
laborious tasks on hired help, but deck
hands are scarce and to save trors n,
times of exigency he must take hold
and work with his own hands Only
thus can he spur on the tagging cn'.

who would greatly benefit his health
by taking up the humble calling of the
man with the hoe. He would also
make an addition to the depleted food
supply of the country.
But digging in the ditch, pitching
hay, or hoeing beets would make his
back ache. He has probably tried it
earlier in the summer in his back yard
garden. He found himself exhausted

A great many boys are also physical
indolent. No matter how hard they
play ball, any active muscular exher-
tion at regular tasks seems intoler-
able. No doubt this is one of the
great reasons why boys have been
rushing to the big cities and why also
they are so untitled to meet the physi-
cal requirements of the army draft.
The fact that any husky young fellow
is physically wearied by brief mus
cular activity does not prove that he
could not do active work. 1t requires
some time to develope hoe e-handle

greatest April fool Jokes ever perpe-
trated on the country. After four
years Of constant raiding on the postal
service by that most persistent of all
parusans, the Postmaster General,
and the most open use of the Demo
cratic postmasters for offensive actIv-

every office supplied through the most
glazing violations Of the civil service
