BE AS GOOD A SPORT AS YOU ARE.

You restless and uneasy, not exactly unhappy bu

going at home.
No matter what the form of occupation, your mind il

fail to voice it with either words or frowns
If touring, you forget the wonderful scenery
in complaining about the roads your fellow tourists
No hotel where you seek accommodations is quite W

year"
And so you go through life irritating everybody
and after time they become regular abs to those who
have to associate with you and the really keen stranger

Now, you not naturally so bad after all
You have the makings of pretty good sport but are
getting habit which you should overcome

WANING OF SENTIMENT.

We have ceased being sentimental The recent war

have become simply psychological studies with no tenta

Night.

The day is long and dreary, and
sluggishly it goes; and we are spent
and weary, and soon we'll have re-
pose; the night, upon us creeping,
will have us in it's keeping, and we
shall find in sleeping the balm for all
our woes. Our tasks are hard and
painful, and hours of rest are few;
the world is too disdainful of all the
things we do; our nerves are throb-
bling, leaping, and we're inclined to
weeping; but one long night of sleep
ing will make US good as new.

until the dawn is peeping, and doodle
birds are cheeping, will brace us up
once more. This life is sore and try

in the end the dying is something
none should dread; night takes us in
it's keeping, its richest blessings heap

thankful they are dead. | like this
old world bully, it's strictly success:
and l indorse it fully, and boost it
more or less; but dying is the reaping
of harvests worth the keeping; the
goal of all our weeping and striving
and distress.

WHEN YOU'VE GOT A BIRTHDAY
COMING.

C IGk-- owellSaiennot- -cetshhs
When you've got birthday coming,
and your hair is turning gray,
And you see the youngsters round
you getting bigger every day,
When the babes too much to handle
and the oldest's most man
1t is then that you discover just how
very shorts the span.
OF the years which God allows you,
and you sit and dwell upon
The days of all your gladness, and
you wonder where they've gone.
When you've got birthday coming,
and you look around and see
A grown-up son beside you where a
fodder used to be,
And a smiling little lady comes and
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-09-09

asks you: "May she 60
To the dance with Jimmy Someone"
and you know that he's her
beau
Then the whole glad panorama OF
your life goes whirling by
And you realize that minute just how
fast the ages fly.
When you've got birthday coming,
and sweet voice in your ear
Breaks the startling information that
you've spent another year,
Then you think of all the sorrows
and the joys which you have
known
Since the long-remembered yester-
day you claimed her for youl\
own;
Then you hold her closer to you, and
you feel you want to cry,
And you wish the days of gladness
wouldn't rush so swiftly by.

Efficiency and Economy.
We feel very certain that the 1919
sale OF Government securities can Be
effected with much less expense and
more efficiently under the new 81 ar
rangements', said Governor Void to-
day. Any lack OF results III the past
has been due to the fact that there
has been no central direction and no
well organized, continuous plan for
the sale Of these securities. AS we
have planned the organization, which
will be directed after the first sof Jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers, we are certain
that results will be obtained with
much less effort and without. friction
which developed in some localities
during the past year.. sg :. +. e.. ~
THE Treasury Department at Wash
1ngton is working out a complete and
scientific national campaign to in
duce thrift and the investment of saw
1ngs in Government securities. Our
district organization will have the
benefit of the Governments work and
will adapt and put into operation such
parts of the plan as meet the condi-
lions in this territory
I'VE appreciate the enthusiasm and
loyal efforts Of the men and women
who have worked untiringly to effect
the sale of War Savings Stamps dur
ing the past year in the various states
of this district. We know that with
the experience they have had and
with the aid of new direction and ex-
perience they will be able to accom-
plish very much more during the com.
ing months. While there is to be an.
other Liberty Loan drive, it will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale of Government Savings
Stamps than ever before. The Gov
eminent expects to realize 100000,
900 from the sale of Savings Stamps
during 1919. This is more than twice
the amount sold during 1918 and indi-
viduals everywhere must realize that
the buying Of stamps is a paramount
duty"
Northwest Will Not Fail.
"The people of the Northwest have
never failed to respond to any call in
which their loyalty has been involved
and they will not fail now when asked
to raise their shares of the money
needed by their Government to finish
the biggest job ever undertaken by
any people" was the way in which
Chairman Rogers expressed his faith
in the outcome of the 1919 campaign
for the sale of Government securities.
Continuing, Mr.. Rogers said; If
did not have entire faith in the loyal
ty of the people of the Ninth District,
I would not have accepted the added
responsibility of directing the war
loan organization which is combina-
ton of the War Savings and Liberty
Loan activities. We have a big task
in front Of us, but l know we are not
going to quit now and that the men
and women who have worked so earn
estly and effectively in this district
will continue to keep the wonderful
record Of their communities and their
district untarnished

must do the work and finish the job.
