AN OCONEE WOOD CHOPPER.
Proprietor Of Maryland Hotel is a
'Powcrful" Wood Chopper.

(Centerville, Nd, Observer
Whisper it gently, for it will be
real news to the majority Of his
friends and acquaintances that Mine
Host d. NJ. Alexander, genial pro-
prietor Of fCt2l Alexander, Of Cen
treyille, is ''pOw'ful' wood cutter.
Those who have viewed, with min
glcd admira ton and envy, the court
~ and polished demeancr Of this i'm
maculatc gentleman at the desk Of
his popular hotel, probably never
even dreamed that beneath the cx-
terror OF diplomatic gentleman Of
business there throbbed the heart Of
a genuine wood-chopper. And, but
for an unusual circumstance, tho
world never have known how well
Mine Host Alexander could swing
his trusty axe.
On Thursday the county commits
sioners placed several men at work
trimming the trees in the court
house square the work required
that one Of the trees, wrecked by a
recent storm, be cut down. Mr.. AL
enxader viewed the operation from
his nearby hostelry. Probably there
flashed through his mind visions Of
those boyhood days in the dear old
"So'th Caraliner," when he toted a
nasty axe and cut wood by the cord.
Anyhow, to make long story short,
he solicited the use of one of the
axes.
Quiet pedestrians were startled by
the fusillade Of blows that were
rained upon the trees trunk. They
looked, and Mr.. Alexander was per-
forming more gymnastics with that
axe than a monkey could have exc
cuted on 100 feet Of grape vine. For
almost two full minutes the chips
flew like chaff from threshing ma
chine. Mr.. Alexander continued un-
til he saw the other choppers turn
Ing green with envy, and after 12O
seconds Of arduous toll he reluctantly
surrendered the axe.
There is no doubt but that he ls
powerful" wood chopper. His
friends simply didn't know 1t. And
that's that.

But there is an old saying that there

perhaps, this period Of hard times
will teach us a lesson and show us
that If we want to be successful we
must be more economical until such

| Why should not ,Ac Iarn.c. or.un-

working people have organized to
their mutual benefit. The merchants,

Of all big industries have their or
CARNATIONS. Why? Because they
know that in union there is strength
AS individuals we have to take
what is offered or doled out TO us,
and pay the price that is asked OF
us. AS unit. in one big organiZa-
ton, we can demand a fair price for
our products and get it, And the
way TO get into this big organiZa-
ton is to get out and work for it.
Don't sit down and say, well, I
will let the other fellow do all the
work and the talking and organiz-
ing, and if there is any benefit to be
derived from il. Will profit by it as
much as the other fellow. And don't
think that by just simply signing
your name on the dotted line and
taking the obligation that there is
nothing else for you to do. You
must work for it and talk for it; get
up some enthusiasm over it, and get
your neighbors enthused over it.
That is the way to make success
Of It. II You want to raise good
crop, you do not just go out and run
off your rows and put the seed in the
ground, and sit hack and watch the
stuff grow. II you do you will be
badly disappointed in the fall. And
SO it Is with any kind Of business or
organization. If we want TO make a
success we must work and plan for
it in order that it will go forward
instead Of backward. And a good

concerning the allies and Turkey. but

Declarations Are Contradictory.
Commissar Tchitcherin's declara-
tions are contradictory. Here is an
example:
Regarding generally the Turkish
proposals as to the disarmament Of
the straits. the Russian delegation ap-
proves, but as to practical PROPOSE
tions Russia reserves hnal decision
until after a detailed examination by
q commission or subcommission, or by
a commission Of experts. We demand
the right to ask for explanations un-
der reserve as to the maintenance Of
the Russian point Of view as to the
closing Of the straits to warships un-
der Turkish sovereignty and the right
to fortify to conserve peace in the
Black sea-"
This is equivalent to saying that
the Russians accept without accept
ing. They must soon see that the
Turks have left them and that they
must fnd q way of getting in line.
