THE YELLOW CAB GUY

The taxicab driver sits in his car.
And waits for the calls from near
and far.
He knows all the crooks. he knows
all the rocks,
He knows all the bad roads. he
knows all the hooks.
He knows all our sorrows. he knows
all our joys.
He knows all the girls who are
chasing the boys:
He knows all our troubles. he knows
all our strife.
He knows every man who ducks out
from his wife.
II the taxlcab driver told half that
he knows
He would. turn all our friends into
bitterest foes;
He would sow a sYall wind that
would soon be a gale.
Enguf Us in trouble and land Us in
Jail.
He would start up a story which,
gaining in force,
Would cause half our wives 10 sue
for divorce.
He would get all our homes mixed
up in a fight.
And turn our bright days into sor-
rowing night.
In fact he would keep the whole
town in a stew,
II he told but one-tenth Of the
things that he knew.
But silent he is if you pay him his
fees
Then he don't know a thing but the

Editor News-Times: I noticed an

paper advertising watermelons at
ACC TO soc Now. Mr.. Editor, the
melon in pieces so that they get
from 16 TO 20 pieces out of each
melon, and charge from 15c to zoe
per piece. This seems to be an
awfully big profit, where there is no
cost in preparing the melon except
to cool It off. and they use the same
ice for cooling many other things at
the same time.
If the restaurant proprietors make
such an outrageous profit on things

It not only seem fair for us to who

Be your own judge and let the
thOughtless chatter,
You know your work and is it
false or fair.
Remember this. and be no vain re-
gretter:
In little things man meets his
sternest test;
Be not content with work that you
could better,
The humblest tasks deserving. Of
your best.
You need not fear the future. Men
shall find you,
No matter whore you toll or where
you dwell,
If every time you leave a task be-
hind you,
You know yourself that you have
done il well.

AYIATORS.

Since armistice day PSI American aviators have
been killed IN flight For them there not the
glory that crowns the warrior who dies in battle.
They went ahead, did each days dangerous round
OF duty and they died doing the days work
And, in opinion. the sacrifice Of the fellow
who thus gives his life while doing his Job as best
ne knows. IS less to be honored than the sacri-
fee OF him who laid down his life in the zeal, in
spiration and glannor OF battle.
They are the Heroes Of the Daily Task.

FEARS GERMAN COMPETITION

Editor News-Times:
How is it possible for American
manufacturers TO live in the face of
such prices as German goods are
sold at in this country 1t is a mat
ter Of plain arithmetic when com
pairing German labor costs and
values of the German mark today,
that the American working man has
no chance at all to compete with
goods produced in Germany. Your
arguments lose entire sight Of the
fact of the difference in living con-
ditions between the two countries.
Assuming, for the sake Of argu-
ment, that the plan brOugh up in

Many Fatal Cases Of Kidney Trouble

Colds, fevers and infectious diseases

kidney disease often follows. Here's
how It happens. The kidneys are worked

have to filter the blood. In any germ

poisons made by the disease germs. This
overwork tends to weaken the kidneys.
