WHY A MAN SHOULD SWEAR

Public profanity has become so common that surely there must be some reason for such practice. The following reasons can be given for such habit. Ac- cording to these reasons it is necessary that every respecta- ble thinking man should swear as hard as he can and as much as he can.
 1. Because it is such an ele- gant way of expressing ones thoughts.
 2 Because it is such concIu- sive proof of taste and good breeding.
 3 Because it is a sure way to make oneself agreeable to ones friends.
 4. Because it is a positive evidence of the acquaintance shipp of good literature.
 5. Because it furnishes such a good example and training for boys and young men.
 6. Because it is such a good way to increase ones self respect.
 2. Because it is just the thing a mother enjoys hearing her son doing.
 8. Because it would look so nice in print.
 9. Because it is such a help to manhood and virture in many ways. 10. Because it is such an in- fallible way of improving ones chances of the hereafter

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to thank the people of Brinkley for their kindness and sympathy shown during the last illness and death of our be- loved husband and father, William H. Overholt.
 He deeply appreciated every kind word and deed in life and would have been equally appre- ciative of the beautiful service of song and sermon, which marked the passing out. We thank the members, Revs. James Drummond, l.. E. Mann and Roswell Davis, the singers who rendered his favorite songs sweet and low, the members of the Red Cross and others for the beautiful flowers. All will ever be held in grateful mem Ory.

INCOME TAX IS
 TRULY POPULAR.

"The payment of Income taxes takes on new significance which should be understood by every citizen. The taxation sys- tenn of this country Is truly pop ular, of the people, by the peo-
 pie and for the people. Every
 citizen is liable to tax, and the
 amount of the tax is graduated
 according to the success and for
 tune attained by each individual
 in availing himself of the oppor-
 tunities created and preserved
 by our free institutions. The
 method and degree of the tax Is
 determined by no favored class,
 but by the representatives of the
 people. The proceeds of the tax
 should be regarded as a national
 investment. Daniel c. Roper,
 Commissioner O. Internal Reve-
 nue.

Secretary Lane says:

We can make America better by
purposefu1 cooperation toward a
happier society. And what shall be
the means7 The old, old means
education, enlightenment, heart and
work. We must search for Our en-
emies at home and pursue them with
the adroitness, the persistence and
the sureness of aim of that young
hero of Tennessee who so'late1y re-
turned to his mountain home.
Those of whom I speak are not
the half-crazed victims of an anar-
chistic philosophy or those better
bred and shrewder leaders who pro-
mote them in their hatred of order.
These dangerous, impatient men are
but the expression of passing hour
of passion. The greater enemies for
which we must search are the de-
stroyers of happiness-the germ of
disease that turks in the soil and the
water pool; the germ of disease that
turks in all ignorance and all injus-
tice and brutality and all things ugly
or rotten.
