The man who T,Xagerates can never
understand why he is doubted when
he speaks the tr1lth.
Nature is the foundation of char
acter building, we are told. True, but
in many cases the foundation is so
rotten that character never makes its
appearance.
Luck with most people is but an
exhibition of good judgment energetic
ally employed.
The wise man keeps his troubles to
himself. The fool has none to keep.
Brooding over grief simply intensi-
fies the trouble by adding others to
keep it company.
Character is a negligible asset only
to the person who does not possess it.
To others it is without price

The British government is looking
for wife for the Prince of Wales, and
this time good healthy blood and not
hereditary imbecility is desired. Any
| girl in this town want the job?
Don't refuse the glad hand of fell
lowship when it is offered to you The
next time it is extended it may be a
fist.
Read the want ads. You want the
things they advertise.
If in need of any kind of job print
ing, call at the Reporter office and
leave your order. First-class work and
prompt service is our motto. st.
The man who thinks he has no
faults to speak of would be likely to
change his mind if he could hear
what his neighbors have to say about
him just after he has turned the cor
ner.
"Work or starve" is certainly true
of conditions at present. With prices
as they are the loafer has little chance
to bluff his way thru life.
When a woman says she won't, she
means, of course, that she won't I'M
less she happens to change her mind.
Don't express a positive opinion
unless you are perfectly sure that you
know what you are talking about.

to think.
