ESSENCE MEN
 GIVEN PREFERENCE

Disabled soldiers sailors or marines who desire to enter the postal service nay now be employed in that service at before taking civil servico examination, according to an announcement made yes- terday by Postmaster R. B. Smyer.
 This was made possible by general order received yesterday from the post office department whereby vocational training men may be placed in the post office for d test as to their physical dis ability. Should the test demonstrate that man is physically capable he will then be continued on the job for train ing for such length of time as might be necessary to fit him for the position sought" said MT, Smyer.
 The department will not incur any ex- pense for salary or other purpose during this period. Such allowances as may be necessary will be made by the vocational board from it's appropriation.
 After the original test should the postmaster conclude that the person in- volved was not physically qualified for the position sought he will not be ad- mitted for training and consequently not subsequently, appointed as his physical condition would constitute an irredeem- able bar.
 After the disabled soldier, sailor. or marine demonstrated that lie is physicany qualified for the position sought he wilt be required to pass the necessary civil service examination, and his subsequent appointment in the postal service must be in accordance with the civil service rules and regulations.
 'In this way men who wish to enter the postal service will be given an op- portunity to learn the business and be- come qualified to take the examination"

 Officers

What is said to be the nearest thing to an open saloon raided in several months was discovered yesterday at Biocton by W. E. Eubanks, John c, AL lison and Jack Horton, federal prohibit ton enforcement officers.
 The alleged saloon was located in the cellar of a house in Blocton and 1a5 gallons of whiskey, one barrel of wine. s,O0O bottles and 1000 different kinds of whiskey labels were destroyed, accord ing to the officers
 "This place apparently had been in operation for some time, said Mir. Eu- banks and was the nearest thing to saloon I have seen since the prchibi- ton law went into effect. While we made no arrests the evidence there was that the operator was coloring the liauor to resemble all kinds of fancy liouors and the door was wide open at all times. Judging from the amount of liquor we found, the people of that vicinity did not realize that there was prohibition law

BUCK Up, EVERYBODY:

The one great fact that every Amer
ican ought 10 think and talk about
today is the essential economic sound
ness of our country. Panics are pro-
duced by panic talk. Prosperity can
not be created by conversation, neither
can il be brought about under psyche
logical conditions Of doubt and timidi-
u.
The fact of the present situation
are open TO all. We are undergoing
the necessary process of deflation
following the abnormal condition of
war. Warprices must come down to
peace level. War activities with their
feverish haste and unequal emphasis
must give way to peace activities
keyed to permanent laws and condi-
tions and not designed to meet tenn
porary urgent danger. 1t is the diff
ference between spring ouse-cleaning
and an attempt to salvage furniture
from fire. War is a fever. Peace
is health. War is a tornado, or
drought. Peace is a climate in which
things grow and mature to harvest.
During the war our chief social in
strument was fighting. For fighting

spending thrift; for destruction and
waste. construction and conservation.
This general process Of deflation
affects all persons and institutions
but all different times in different
ways and with unequal pressure. The
specular has been put out Of business.
He could not get the money to carry
on. The manufacturer was hit first
and hit hard. He had to slow down
or shut down. The wholesaler was
next milne, and he has been taking
his medicine like man. The farmer,
who is manufacturer and distributor
is probably the hardest hit
Of all. for he has, as a class, no ade-
quate banking support. Railroads and

SOME THINGS TO TAKE
DURING THE NEW YEAR


Take comfort-if you can.
Take things easy-within reason.
Take the girl you love to be your
wife.
Take care Of your health. 1t is the
most valuable thing you have.
Take hint when it is intended for
you. Don't wait to be knocked down.
Take flattery as an insult, and an hon
est compliment as something to be
grateful for.
Take pains to be faithful and con-
scientious in business. 1t will bring
you success.
Take offense only at things worth
being offended At. It is . sure evi-
dence Of small mind to notice trifles.
Take hold of any work that comes to
your hand rather than be idle. Luck
always waits upon the busy man.
Take time to be polite and kind al
ways. Rudeness never pays, the bore
may think 70, but he is wrong.
Take trouble like 4 man. Don't
go whining ABOUT when it comes, but
shut your mouth and stand up under
it resolutely.
Take = trip now and then, and ky
to see something outside Of the town
you live in. Travel is one of the
greatest educators.
Take pains TO do your work well.
The conscientious worker is the one
who gets to the front-and the one
that never needs be idle.
Take care that you make this day =
model for all the days to come-and
then copy after it. Live this day 30
that is will bring you no regrets.
Take time, young man, to 70 out
