Some Genuine Optimism
By Wood Rainwater

Of Rainwater Bank, MOrrilt0n, Ark.
His horse went dead and his mule went
lame,
And he lost his cow in poker game,
And cyclone came on winter day
And blew his house where he lived,
away
Then an earthquake came and when
that was done,
1t swallowed the ground that his house
stood on,
Then the tax collector, he came around
And charged himsup with the hole in
the ground.
If you've had harder luck than
this friend of mine, we will pre-
sent you with a 12-months'
ready-made living.
We have searched the papers
to find out who stopped this war,
or started our cotton down hill.
We like the dream days of 1919.
The Arkansas Methodist writer
says-our trouble. I'VE forgot
God, and besides tried to skin
Him out of His share of our pros
perity."
Another author says: What
you SOW you reap" 1.-THE way
of the transgressor is hard. "
But think how blessed we are.
We live in a. free country
where a fellow can do as he
pleases, so you don't break the
law Tor get caught.
Persimmons, pecans, hickory
nuts and acorns grow wild for
winter food. If these are trou-
blesome TO find anybody will give
you beef COW for a load of wood
or one-half days work.
Dewberries and polk salad
grow early in spring, blackber-
ries in summer. Besides, every
body has kin folks in Oklahoma
or Texas. Go visit them between
seasons.
Fellow says. what's become of
the money?
There is more money and cred
its than the world has ever
known before. Last year there
was $54. 90 cash for every man, |
woman and child in the United
States. This year there is $50. 90. |
Every day in Morrilton farmers
sell about $40, 600 worth of cot
ton. They deposit a little in the |
bank, pay some on debts, trade
a little and take half of it back
home to spend later, guess.
Most of our customers have a |
plenty of corn and meat. Be-
sides the eight hours you sleep, |
you are as we'll off as Rockefeller
1.-The eight hours you work you
are as happy as Pierpoint Nor
gan. The eight hours you loaf,
eat and play you are as happy as
Woodrow Wilson. And besides,
money won't buy red whiskey, |
and most of US don't care for
clothes, and we won't swap one
ear or one eye for a wagon load
Of dollars. So money is a very
poor thing to base all our happi-
ness on. Hard times makes bet
ter citizens of us.
As long as a fellow has health.
if he loses money some years
that's not bad. If a man never
had a loss it wouldn't be any
pleasure to win. If you knew
the day you were going to die !
you wouldn't have any fun liv-
ing.
Every fellow thinks he has the
hardest time. We have food,
clothing and can worship our(
Creator if we wish. There isl
one guaranteed rule for happi-
ness. peace and plenty. The BIZ
Die tells you how you can get it.
Il you are not interested, that's
,our trouble. What a man sows
,e reaps, says the Good Book,
ind it's true.

Robson Gets $4,000
Which Was Held Up

Boston. Mass, May 5--The Boxing
Commissioners met Wednesday and
decided that Tommy Robson was en-
titled to get the $4,000 that was prom
ised him by the Baldwin A. c. for
boxing Soldier Bartfield at the Arena
few weeks ago. When the bout was
declared no contest. the commission
ers ordered both fighters money held
up till they investigated.
The day after the battle the COM
missioners voted that Bartfield was
not entitled to the money. Since then
the commissioners have had a talk
with the referee and judges, who de-
clared that Robson was trying, but
Bartfield was not. After getting that
report, the commissioners notified the
club that Robson was entitled to his
money.
The commissioners also voted not to
permit any boxing in the State on
Memorial Day and evening. The COM
mission took a decided stand against
