The Adair County news., 1920-02-04

Don't carry your business
crouch into your home. It's like
taking muddy feet into a Chip
pendale drawing room. The ad-
vice doesn't preclude a sane dis
cussion of troubles, for no man
is above cleaning an unlocked
for suggestion of value from the
woman who keeps his household
expenses properly within the
limits of his income. For the
same reason he has no right to
come home disgruntled, throw
ing everything into a state OF
confusion, which his wife has to
put in order after her days
work. He would not expect his
business partner to bring him
unfinished work at the close of
the day. Besides, the amount
of energy expended in blowing
off steam, would fix the cause of
the crouch so that it would new
er stick head above board again.

The Mean Man.

Everybody knows the story
about poor Tom Sharkey, who
electrified the loun9ers in his
saloon one day by saying heart
lily. well, boys, what are we
going to have?" And then, as
the loungers gathered round the
bar he added, Rain or
Shine?"
Representative Gordon Lee Of
Chickamauga told of a story
of a similar kind about a mean
man at Atlantic City. Some
friends visited him on a hot
evening and after they had
weltered a while in the sitting
room he said:
"Well,ss friends, could you
stand some.::refreshments?"
I'VE certainly could! the
visitors replied, and they moist
ened their dry lips in pleasant
anticipation.
Then, said the mean man,
rising, we'll open this window.
There's promisesof a breeze. "

The faithful plodders usually
get there in the end, it is ad-
mitted. But, although you ad-
mire their grit. you consider
them dumb because they are
so slow. AS a matter of fact
they are not dumb, but they
have a dumb way of going at
their work. They must go all
around an idea several times be-
fore they can approach it, to
say nothing of assinilatingit.
The only thing such a person
needs to practice is concentra-
ton. If you are a plodder, stop
covering the same ground over
and over, probably becoming so
confused that you miss the
point entirely in the end. Learn
to think clearly and directly.
Don't toy with an idea or decis-
ion, however unimportant it is
because constant practice is the
biggest factor in learning con-
centration.

Their? He's all right" You may
have sung it; you probably think
it. But have you ever told him
so? Fathers are taken too much
for granted these days. They
receive a great deal of apprecia-
ton which leaves them feeling
quite like a necessary evil. Es-
peciaIly if there are all women
in your family, try to include
father in that general spirit of
comradeship, not just when you
want something, but at all times.
Try doing the things he likes
when it doesn't happen to suit
your convenience particularly.
Don't discourage his little sur
prises or attentions, because in
the laundering masculine fashion
they are not any thing you would
really want. You will probably
discover after short time, that
there is a lot more to father,
aside from the visible means of
support, than you thought there
was.

Tobacco the Uncertain.

No crop produced keeps the
grower in such unsettled frame
Of mind as does tobacco. The
necessity of an early planting of
the seeds always places the tend
er plants at the mercy of late
frost. The next period of un-
rest is the waiting for a good
season for transplanting, when
the soil has to be just right.
Then comes the task of caring
for each individual plant, to the
grower it is not so many plants.
every plant coming in for person
al attention.
As the weeds ripens there must
be ideal weather conditions to
finish the crop; too much sun or
to much rain working to the dis
advantage of the produc t.
Weather conditions must also be
right for cutting, and the late
ness of the crop makes the farm.
er think of the early frosts of
the fall of the year.
When the tobacco is cut the
troubles of the tobacco raiser are
not over, the curing and the
house burning propositions con-
front him and the waiting for
suitable weather to strip makes
him restless, if he wants to get
the weed on market early. The
most uncertain period however,
in the production and sale of
the Tobacco, is when it goes
over the brakes. 1t appears
from the capers of tobacco
market last year, and the I'M
accountable drop in prices since
the first of the year, that the
man with a tobacco crop can
never rest easy until he gets

Cruelty of Horse Dealers

Until our laws are very much
improved, so long will horse
dealers continue to torture and
and drug horses in order to de-
ceive the public and to benefit
their own pockets, says Major R.
S. Timmis in Modern Horse
Management" / am most
thankful to say that many of
these wretched human parasites
have had their business ruined
through the advent of the motor
they may be trying their
tricks upon the public with mo-
tor.cars, but even if they are,
they will not be torturing dumb
animals which have no defense.
Some horse dealers will do al
most anything to a horse to pre-
vent him from showing signs of
lameness, or from showing bad
tricks, or to make him appear
high-spirited. Drugs are used
to ease pain and to make a horse
feel fresh; over. feeding on soft
feed and want of exercise are
resorted to to keep the horse fat
and to make him feel fresh.
Nerves are cut to hide lameness,
and worst of all, a sound foot
may be injured in order to make
the horse 60 apparently sound
on the unsound foot, i. e., by
having both legs injured he can
not favor one leg.
think the greatest enemy
that the horse has is the horse
dealer. What horse dealer will
not mulilate the horse to any de-
gree merely to suit a prevailing
fashion or the foolish fancies of
an ignoramus who wishes to buy
a horse? All horse dealers
stables should be open to public
inspection by the police and hui
name societies at all times; so
should most large stables. For
the horses sake, the quicker the
