UNCLE DUDLEY'S COLUMN
"A Duty We All Owe
e How many children of other people
do you meet in the run Of a days
< How many Of those children do you
pass without any form Of greetinge
How many of them are completely
ignoreds -. !.
We owe duty to every child that !
we meet. That duty is to let the child
know that it is among it's friends and
its protectors, that the mere presence
of an adult in it's vicinity is a guaran-
tee that it IS safe from all harm. !
Children should be taught to respect
their elders, but never to fear them.
When fear enters the heart Of a child
respect and confidence begin to dis
appear. That is one of the first steps
toward waywardness and the others
are easy to take.
A kindly word of greeting to the
child we meet costs us nothing. Its ef-
feet is seen not only in brightness OF
the little cOuntenance, but also in the
sunshine that permcates it's soul in at
ter years.
y
will soon be smiling in return.

Only eleven more months until
Christmas again.
A stout heart sees only success
ahead. Hop to it. -
It is the brief call that writes well
come over the door.
Money is like copy maiden. 1t
likes to be chased.
It is wise forethought that leaves
nothing behind. 81
The man who recognizes brains in
another at least has few Of his own.

p It requires lot Of bunk to keep a
jealous wife smiling.
~
Every man has his own pecuharitles.
Most of them may keep them-and
welcome.

The retOrt courteous is not always
courteous after it has been dissected.

If we continue the pace it will be
only a matter of few years when the
pure minded person will be ashamed
to admit it.
Be thankful for the good things you
have enjoyed the past year. You are
fortunate that others did not get them.
q q q
Professional writer's are in the habit
of serving up a lot Of "don 'ts' at
this season Of the year. But let's hope
they don't.
MANY fine words were written about
the Christmas spirit, and it is possible
few of them may have been put into
practice.
The joys Of the Yuletide season are
still uppermost in our mind. The bills
are not all paid yet.
The fellow who says nothing never
has to retract his words.

Yes, there is always place where
you can fit in. If you can It put your
shoulder to- the wheel you can get be-
hind and push.
You won't have to depend upon a
new broom sweeping clean if you use
the old one often enough.
q -
Success is right ahead Of us, but it
moves too rapidly for the laggard to
catch up.
Still, it is but natural that the men
Of other countries should think their
own women the most beautiful. They
have not seen ours.
G
Hit the pace in January. Keep it up
until December. You will go far and
accomplish much, and make 1922 a
year Of profit. -
Moral courage is commendable, but
business courage is what the country
needs this year. Pull out the throttle
and let 'er go. -
If you want to make q fortune at
one throw just begin the cultivation of
fig trees. Indications point to ire
mendous demand for the leaves in the
future. 49,. - : -
The fellow who has the ability tt
recognize both the sublime and the
ridiculous is fortunate among men. He
= can be either a wise man or a fool, a:
occasion demands.

The attorney general of the United
States is out cunning for the pro6teer
again. A perfectly harmless form o,
pleasant amusement.
