Something to
Think
TURNING
By r 4. WALKER

THE very ease and speed with
which you rush ahead, so agree
able while the road Is smooth and
clear, make 1t difficult sometimes to
slow down and turn the n IN
safety.
A straight course Is easy to follow,
but a devious way is hard and calls
for all your strength and finer judg-
ment in spite of your Wanted skill.
A few triding words, a slip of the
foot, a shifting Of the eye or a broken
troth and you are destitute Of cour-
age, in a perilous position from which
ir may take years to extricate your
self.
Friendships are irrevocably lost at
the where you must turn to
determine your future; where you
find that you must curtail expenses
and live a simpler life with less pleas
ure and more work.
Turning corners dampens the spirits
Of high-strung men and women and
often narrows their views to so great
an extent that they become mere cor
ner loungers, Of no use to themselves
or to the community In which they
exist.
The sunlight vistas Of life have
been darkened by the gathering
clouds Of adversely in which they un-
~expectedly plunged as they turned a
sharp corner In an unfamiliar, terri
tory.
Like you, these victims Of misfor-
tune were comfortable and happy In
the heyday Of prosperity.
And like thousands Of others, they
miscalculated their strength and
were hastily swept off their feet,
bruised and MANNED as they found
themselves bereft of power and hum
bled In pride.
In an atmosphere that stiles their
ambition and fills their souls with re-
morse, they are like frightened chill
dren lost in the dark, afraid of the
shadows and unable to move.
Yesterday they would have laughed
at the plight of a friend who made
an unfortunate turn at the corner; to-
uay, laughter and they are not on
speaking terms.
Only the brave and true and mer.
ciful can hope to turn the corners OF,
life's highway in security.
And IL you will look into the lives
of such persons you will find that
they were early taught at a good
mothers knee to put aside greed and
selflshness, to call men brothers, to
help the poor, to be charitable to the
fallen, and to practice in their deal
lngs with others the golden rule, that
the corners might be turned without
calamity, even In the purpling twi-
Hight,

INCREASED ACTIVITY IN
ALL LINES OF WORK
AS FALL APPROACHES

Everything in Mexico is taking on
new life and vigor now after the
summer season. Those fortunate
persons who have spent the summer
in the West or in other vacation spots
have returned to Mexico in large num-
bers during the last few weeks. Mer-
chants are displaying attractive fall
goods and everywhere is seen the
bustle and rush which precedes the
opening Of the seasons work.
Among the school children, the inn
portant question of course just now
is fare you ready for school to be-
GIN" Many of them agree that they
wish vacation time were just begin
ming but some admit that they are
tired Of loafing. Those who attend
the University have already gone to
Columbia and enrolled for their work
and soon M M. "a and Hardin stu
dents will be pouring into Mexico.
More and more persons aye TAX
ing vacations each year statistics
show and of this number a large per
cent spent the time motoring or in
some. form of out-of-door sports,
which make them more fit to resume
their work. s
Travelling men say that increased
business activity is noticeable every
where and Mexico SENS to be no ex-
cepton to the rule. Many of the
stores have been improved within the
last few months and everything points
to an active business year.

A BOYS PSYCHOLOGY

Oh boy. this nice spring day
And | have to stay in SCHOOL,
It sure makes me want to run away
And take a dip in the swimming pool
OH these dreadful study hours.
When | have to stay in the house
| would lot rather pick flowers,
Or set trap for rabbit or mouse.
The birds seem to be calling me,
When have to stay in and study.
And on Saturdays, Oh gee!
1t usually rains and is muddy
But ] don't see any help for me,
From school | can't run away,
For teacher and pa are both watching
see?
So | have to stay in all day.
But sure make it up after four,
| go swimming and pick flowers.
| do all the mischief | can think of and
more
Just to make up for them old school
hours. F"
