KEEP UP THE WELCOME

1t is gratifying to observe that there is no diminutton in
the warmth of the welcome extended to the men returning from
France.
The last man to touch these shores should be given the
same cordial reception that greeted the first to return.
Perhaps it is but natural that the story OF the adventure
will be old after many repctitonS, but it is a story that the
world will never tire OF listening to, and one that will increase
in interest with the lapse of time,
1t must be remembered that some Of the last to return were
among the first to go across, and that the debt we owe to them
is in proportion to the length of service and the manner in
which they performed the task that was set before them,
whether it required a short or long time.
The activity in securing Jobs Tor the men should not be
abandoned, and until the last one is back again and comfortably
established in the job he lett or in one Just as good, if he
prefers another, the civilian will not have discharged his obi
cation,

THE PACKING A

The avidlty with which Memphis business men have prasped
the opportunity to establish a packing house here is encourag-
ing. With responsible men behind the project there is no
reason why it should not become a great industry and prove
a splendid factor in the development of the stock industry Of
this section, That such an enterprise might have been estab
lished before this time and placed upon a paying basis goes
without saying, but the enthusiasm that has greeted this oppor
tunity in large measure makes amends for the DELAY in the past
The chief difficulty in making hogs and cattle pay on a small
scale is the lack OF a ready market. With the completion of The
plant a fresh stimulus will be given the live stock industry il
this section, and one will aid the other with incalculable benefit
to the entire territory.

AND IT was raining
AND I went to the pOStoffics.
TO GET the mail.
AND BUY some stamps.
AND I was worrying.
WHERE I'd put the stAmDS'
TO KEEP them dry.
AND FROM sticking together.
AND A young woman,
CAME UP to the wicket.
AND LOOKED at me.
WHILE 1 asked for the mail.
WHICH IN itself.
IS MOST unusual.
AND AFTER that.
I ASKED for some stamps.
AND SHE reached in a box
AND GOT an envelope.
THAT HAD been used
AND CUT in two.
WITH 4 pair of scissors.
AND INTO the envelope
SHE PUT the stamps.
AND HANDED them to me-
AND WHEN I got home.
THEY WE'RE perfectly dry.
AND NOT stuck together.
AND, OF course, I know,
IT'S A little thing.
AND uNIMPoRTANT.
BUT WHOEVER 1T was,
WHO STARTED it.
IF HE had a chance,
YOU NEVER can tell.
HOW FAR he'd go.
AND YOU and I know.

THAT COUNT the most.
AND IF Charles Evans Hughes.
