Dear Sir: We are always glad to
get the Register-through it's columns
we hear from old Bookings friends
north, south, east and west. Strange
how they are dispersed all over the
United States. but wherever they are
we know they are good citizens and
many filling eminent professions
even little boys that were," have been
and are in Europe as M. DIS in this
terrible war.
We enjoy the columns Of Twenty
five Years Ago" The m of those
who are mentioned we knew all or
nearly so, but in present day locals
many strange names appear. We are
very much interested too in the $50
ciety News" which Notwithstanding
the Fl. c. L. are seemingly as numer-
Gus as ever, giving Mrs. Ziegler plenty
of material to write about each week
which she does very c%reditably. 1t is
gratifying to know of the continuous
prosperity of Bookings. the acquisi.
ton of the Brictson factory, the re-
modelling and building of business
houses and the many homes, etc.
We are proud We once lived in
Brookings and raised our family there,
although we enjoy living in the fine
old city of st. Paul. And do not think
us vain IL we say We are proud now
that We live here-pride is a noble
characteristic If used consistently. One
of our pleasures in the cities is meet
ing old Bookings friends and we miss

The American people are accused of
extravaganza and perhaps the charge
is correct. But thus far we have not
beer fools enough to take on a war
such as Europe now entertains. Each
nation has its hobby, and for some
thing that staggers humanity Europe
has us backed clear into the lake.

You will notice that a man who
starts smoking cigars will nearly al
ways wind up in smoking a pipe. Even
IL he sports a cigar in public, his pipe
is his chief solace in private. A cigar
rette smoker may pass through the
three stages of smoking and graduate
in the pipe stage. But the boy or
young man who starts in with the
pipe will have to go from mild to
stronger tobaccos and by the time he
reaches the very prime of life his
breath may be as offensive to most
olfactories as that Of the most con-
frmed old corncOb pipe smoker, whose
pipe oozes a black gummy substance
all over. Not many boys ever think
of such things when learning to
smoke.

A few days ago a FOCAL employer OF
skilled labor received a letter from a
young man who announced that he had
brains for sale" and was looking for
a position that required both muscle
and brains as a requisite for work. 1t
was a startling announcement, to say
the least, but was the young man
egotistic in making such a claim? 1t
takes brain as well as muscle to make
a success in many occupations and
the young fellow was justified in call
ing attention to the fact that he
thought himself mentally as well as
physically able to undertake the re-
sponsibilities Of the position that he
was applying for. OF course, there
will always be a certain amount of
work to be done that requires muscle
more than brain and there will be
plenty Of people with muscle for sale.
The latter are not always engaging in
such labor from choice but from lack
Of opportunity to better their condi-
ton or through misfortune. If they
are at the foot Of the ladder by reason
Of lack of ambition it is their own fault
Take, for instance, the case of a young
man living under the shadow of an
institution that has for it's purpose the
cultivation Of brain power and the
furnishing Of a certain amount OF
skill. He lives at home and is fed and
clothed and, by the payment of a few
dollars for tuition and books, he might
prepare himself for better stations in
life, but he prefers to loaf and live on
the bounty of others for a while and
then, when thrown upon his own re
sources, he has nothing but muscle
for sale and becomes d~isgruntled and
probably a derelict. By a little fore
sight and a reasonable amount of am
bition he might fit himself for a higher
! grade Of work and have brains for sale
or for use in organizing a business OF
occupation for himself. The unfor
tunate are to be pitied but not the i'm
provident and the needless.

WANT FREE DELIVERY
Port Gibson Win EndeavOr to
Get Nal Canier.

An effort is being made through
Postmaster Magruder to get free
mail delivery for Port Gibson.
The Postoffice Department is now
giving such delivery to towns
where the Office receipts reach
over $4,000 and where there are
named streets, paved walks and
numbered residences.
Port Gibson now has all OF these
requirements except the numbered
residences, and it is believed that
the residents will be glad to con.
tribute that much.
The mail would probably be de
livered twice daily, though in cities
once each day is usually the ex-
tent of such delivery.
Port Gibson has made such rap.

satisfied to stand still any longer,
