SIMPLICITY OF
LIFE

The war has taught us many things ane
among them to discriminate between the essen
tial and non-essential things of life. We have
found that when inspired by anxiety for great
dominant cause we could easily dispense with
many things which had always seemed to us mere
necessities and comforts. From great civili-
zation of luxury and extravaganza we were trans
formed to body Of people willing to sacrifice new
cars and furniture and to wear last years suits
for the one purpose of winning the war"
Now the war is over, but the obligation of
remuneration is still upon US. We have practiced
it for the sake of our sons and country and we
must continue for the sake of humanity.
We could not sit at banquet with any COM
fort if there were starving people looking in at
the window And we will coMe to the point
where we cannot indulge in luxuries and feel that
whole nations are starving and suffering on the
other side of the world
Perhaps this will lead us to a new simplicity
of life When Europe is once more sef-support-
ing we may still feel inclined to lay aside the nom
essential things. We may realize that simplicity
in our aims and in our lives will really in the end
give us more satisfaction than restless striving
for luxuries.

Politics! Politics Politics !!
Just about the time we are
ready to rid ourselves of cattle
ticks, here we are covered up
head and ears with polly-ticks.
l have spent many hours and
run myself down a hundred
times getting my few head of
cattle to the vat and thought
that it was mighty tough, but a
real bad case of polly-ticks is no
better. l was in Virgins the
first part of the week and l de-
clare it was a fright to see how
some people were stirred up over
the game of county polly-ticks.
l am in favor of catching every
man that is in any way affected
with polly-ticks and taking them
| to the nearest dipping vat and
giving each one good dipping.
What we need right now is less
politics and more plowing and
unless this is done Pm afraid our
crop of politicians will be much
larger than our crop of corn, cot
ton, potatoes and velvet beans.
| But let them come thick and fast
as they must-and it looks like
the must-But remember, boys,
Just as we thin our corn, so will
thinning out day come with the
crop of candidates; some will be
left standing while others will
be plucked up and laid aside. l

l. lpect to be, but / rather enjoy
standing to one side and seeing

pathize with the voters more so
than | do with defeated candi-
date. During the next five
months it's going to be hard on
the farmer as he trys to plow
and make crop. The candi-
dates are going to get busy; he
must see the voters regardless
of cost to him or the voter.
Barbed wire fence, horse high,
bull strong and pig tight, will not
stop the office seeker; he'll go
right over the top and maybe
trample down five hundred
stalks of your corn or cotton in
order to shake hands with the
orney-handed-sons-of-toil; yes
office seekers will deal in ex-
treme things in order to get
the voters to see things their
way. They will brag on your
farm, on your stock, on your
little children and even brag
on the old sour buttermilk
dished out to them by the good
madam. They are a great set,
those candidates are. They
are a lot Of trouble but yet /
like them; they are so kind and
loving and so accommodating to
a fellow. Well, I've decided
that we are going to have the
poor and the politicians with us
always. One Of my neighbors

him, sell him or give him away |
