BY WAY OF SUGGESTION

Whereas, in the twelve months just
ended, we have allowed our minds
to be occupied with subjects un-
worthy Of their high estate; our
thoughts have conferred around OBJ
iects of purely selfish attraction;
our mental horizon has circumscribed
but mean and petty desires; our am
billions have not always tended to-
ward the things that enoble and ele-
vate; our reflections have been care
less and have not eliminated the
false from the true; and,
Whereas, in our daily speech we
have sought our own petty advance
ment as against the greater good OF
the greater number; our tongues
have been more ready to repeat the
tales of scandal rather than the ad-
vertisement of the good deeds OF
our neighbors; our daily converse
ton has revolved around the gross
w material, the detraction rather
than the elevation of our fellow
man, the petty iealousies and the
host of other unworthy matters OF
life; and,
Whereas. in action we have been
self centered, mean, even contemptl-
ble at times; we have refused or neg
-Tocted the little aids that mean so
much to our struggling brothers;
we have been frugal in uplifting ac-
complishments, Incorporate IN un-
worthy deeds; we have been too Of
ten prone to pull down rather tnan
build up; we have been guilty OF sins
Of omission no less than OF commits
sion; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the twelve
months to follow we cast out OF our
minds all the pettiness and unseitlsn-
ness; we will elevate our 'iioos"TS
above the unclean and the sordld ;
that we will speak only those words
that will elevate ourselves and our
noiobbors avoiding scandal and back
biting; that in our actions we will
be careful not to omit the little cour-
tesies and helpful deeds due to our
brothers; that we will move forward
to better deeds, not only for our
own self satisfaction, but also 1or
the greater glory Of our neignOor
and, be it further
Resolved, That a copy OF THESE
rosolntions be engraved upon our
souls for personal reference ana
guidance. Commercial Appeal

BREAKS IN DRAIN
AGE DITCH LEVEE

ESQ. H. R. Terry, one Of the fore
most young members of the County
Court, was here Monday and inform
ed an Enterprise reporter of several
bad breaks in the Spring Creek
drainage ditch levee.
These breaks occurred between
the I. C. railroad and Etheridge's
crossing, southeast of Sharon, and
it is reported that great volumes Of
water went through the three breaks,
Overlooking great areas of land.
The breaks are supposed to have
been caused by the burrowlng OF
musk-rats. All breaks were in the
south levee on which side the adj
Joining lands we're Inundated. One
old resident claims the water was Az
yards further out on his lands than
he ever saw it before. There is some
discussion as to whose duty it is to
repair the breaks.

Cross
Home Service Work

To our soldiers and sailors the
Red Cross means hospitals, nurses,
doctors when they are wounded or
sick, hospitality and recreation when
off duty in France or at canton
ments.
To their folks at home the Red
Cross must mean, no less, the neigh
borly counsel and aid which will keep
them in good spirits, health and COM
fort.
The Home Service Of the Red
Cross must mean the nations as
surance that no family whose loved
one is serving his country shall suf-
fer for any essential thing that is
within its power to give.
The Home Service is a committee
of men and women, representing,
when fully organized, every profess
sion, interest and calling in the
county or town which 1t serves, the
lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher, cler-
gyman, business man, business wo-
man, housekeeper and the woman
with an interest in civic affairs.
This committee is made up Of
such variety of people that no
matter what happens to a family,
or the nature of the difficulty, some
member Of the committee will have
the knowledge or experience needed
for the solution of the problem.
The Home Service not only gives
sympathetic hearing to all mem
bers of soldiers and sailors fami-
lies, but endeavor to supply the in

NINETEEN QUARTS;
SEVERAL PINTS

Eagle-eyed Tom Carney, chief OF
notice of Martin, a few days ago,
spied two young men with suspicious
looking grips alight from the Cairo
train. He kept his eye on them
the men and the grips-and after sat
isfying himself of the contents, ar
rested the men at a livery stable in
Martin where they had gone after
leaving the depot. One, however,
made his escape, leaving his grip of
booze, but the other, named Smith,
was not SO fortunate, and was car
ried before Recorder Wilson, fined
S25 and bound over to circuit court
in the sum of $3.50, which bond he
readily made.
The two grips contained 10 quarts
and Smith had a pint or so in his
pockets.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

On Nov. 5, 1918, God in His all
wise power, called from our 0. E.
S. Chapter No. 80, one of its most
devoted members, Sister Nettie By
ars. She was a sweet christian wo-
man and ever ready to do her part
in the O. e. S. work. She will be
greatly missed by her friends, rela-
tives and family; therefore, be it,
Resolved, That we bow down in
sympathy with the sorrowing hus-
band and children to mourn the loss
of this dear member.
Resolved, That we will live true
christian lives and be co-workers
for that bright and blissful home
where we will meet dear Nettie, and
there will be no more sorrow and
separation, but all will be love, peace
and happiness.
Resolved, That a copy OF this be
sent to the family, copy spread on
the minutes of our chapter and a
COPY furnished the Dresden En-
terprise for publication.
Dear Ben, you have had great
sorrow to struggle through. May
it draw you nearer to the God who
gave to you these loved ones, that
some day you may meet them on the
other bright shore.

breaks it is stronger than if he had
lacked the courage to make it. Each
succeeding resolution leaves per-
son stronger than he was when he
made the first one.
There is good to be gotten out Of
a resolve, even though it never ma
terializes, and there is no end of
satisfaction in the resolution that is
observed.
A good resolution inspires respect
in one for himself. He might have
thought he lacked sympathy or SEN
timent, or that he had grown crusty
and unsympathetic. The resolution
is likely to reveal lot of unsus-
pected good that man sometimes
forgets that he possesses.
A resolution is a potential per-
Torrance. The act of making it is
evidence that the thing can be done.
The man who says no more than
81 resolve to be honest" will find
that he has set up a barrier that he
must first tear down before he can
take advantage of his neighbor. 1t
will rise before his eyes as an in
tangible obstacle to every unworthy
suggestion of advantage.
The woman who says, 81 will re-
peat no unkind thing of my neigh
bor," may not attain to perfection
by single bound, but the resolution
once made will bride many thought
less tongues who meant no harm,
but carried with it a sting that time
might not erase from the reputation
Of some indescreet, but innocent
character.
This is a-good time to make res
olution. The world is launching into
new era. This country is marking
new course in national affairs
We have launched into an uncharte6
sea, and there is no chart or COM
pass so reliable as the simple resolve
to be just and exact justice.
There is comfort and satisfaction
in meditation along these lines. The
man who will do it will find he is
better than he thought he was, anc
he will reveal it unconsciously tc
those with whom he comes in con-
tact. He will be a little gentler il
nothing else, little more sympa
thetic with the frailties of others
perhaps; maybe he will see some
good where before he found only
fault, and the world will, after all
be more cheerful place in which
to live.
About the only differences that
ever arise between men are points
of view. One is as likely to be
right as the other, if both have the
same moral foundations. If both are
obstinate they can never come to ar
agreement, but if one is reasonable
the other may be made to approach
the issue from the proper point Of
view.
It would be we'll for each one tC
resolve to work harder this veal
than ever before; to give more tt
the things that are worthy, and strive
harder to lay little something by
Contentment rests upon prosperity
and prosperity is LARGELY within the
grasp of the man who makes op
portunity.
If there are lot Of worthy reso
lutions and a lot more of serious
deliberations upon the theme Of be
ing ones brothers keeper, the clos
of the year will find better situa
ton, and everyone who takes tn
trouble to make the resolutions will
have a happier year. Make the reso
luton if you think you will breal
it. Make it to show that you hay'
that much moral stamina. It /
worth it.-News-Scimitar.

MOISTURE SPOILS
FAIRS FIRST DAY
Races at White River Junction Put
Over-Small Number of People on
Hand to See Big Show.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept.
l0.-The Vermont State fair, which
opened here yesterday, has a grievance
against the weather man that cannot be
easily assuaged. After promising clear
skies and summer warmth for the
opening day and then to turn on de-
luge is not considered fair treatment
by the state fair commission. The
grounds were decidedly wet when the
gates were thrown open yesterday
morning and sky grey and damp
lowered over the great aggregation of
the host of other things that combine
to make this annual open air event.
The races were called off. The vaude-
vile actors sat about their dressing
rooms and told stories of past exploits
The midway shows did perform, but
not with great zest. The "crowd, = if
it is proper to apply the word to the
about, took interest i'll the big display
of stock and the actions, climbed or
the Ferris wheel and the merry go round
and got quite a lot of pleasure out OF
the day.
Despite the moisture of yesterday
judging in all classes took place anC
blue and red ribbons We're awarded
The band played, played well and FIRE
quently and the crowd. small though
it was, would no doubt have jazzed hat
the ground been less slippery.
