Joy of Working
 After quoting from Rudyard Kip lings famous poem on the joy of working at what we like, Rev. Frazer said What is life. but a university where we never graduate and never receive a senior class li- ploma. Once upon a time there was man who was in love with himself and he had no rival But as we grow in age and experience we realize our limitations. When a young man asked Gladstone Tell me how to succeed" the man in whose hands rested the fate Of the British Empire said My friend. can not tell you, for I myself am a failure"
 Fought Good Fight
 Before pointing out that what the world terms success In failure for many, and that so-called failures are often success, Rev. Frazer also made an earnest plea for a revival of good books and good reading, and declared "Paul's success was this: That he was able to say at the close of his day a stormy day: T have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown, which the Lord. the righteous judge shall give me in that day"

HINTON &. HUNTER
For County Treasurer. The Only
Ex-Service Man ON Either County
Tirknt -. 40 Yr.unv<.ut nff;sa

FOR County Treasurer. The Only
ExService Man ON Either County
/ Ticket for an Important Office.
TO the Voters of Prowers County:
4 II there is any man on the Demo
cratic County ticket who should
receive the hearty supprt of the
people. regardless OF political affili-
ations. at the coming election. that
man is Hinton H. Hunter. candidate
/ for County Treasurer. We mention
three reasons why this should be
true.
First: Mr.. Hunter Is thoroughly
qualified, by training and business
experience. to perform the duties OF
this important office He is well
equipped from an education stand
point. and having been engaged In
the banking business for about six
years, he is peculiarly fitted for the
discharge of the duties of the
lreasnrers office.
Second: Mr.. Hunters opponent,
Mr. Mayfield. has held the office OF
Treasurer for two terms, and Is
seeking reelection for third term.
Hence the custom which exists In
this County Of eOneeding TO an ef-
ficient office holder q second term
does not enter in this contest.
Third: Mr.. Hunter is the only ex-
service man for an important office
On either County ticket. He is not
making campaign ON his service
for his Government, but we. his
friends feel that the people Of this
county should know the facts.
About two months after war with
Germany was declared and without
waiting to be drafted, Mr. Hunter
enlisted in the Marine Corps. and
In February, 1918. was sent to
France. He served in the Marines
until June, 1919, about two years
and thirteen days. He took part in
most OF the major engagements in
which the American Army was In
yolved. was wounded twice. 0perat-
ed on five times, and today. carries
in his body thirteen pieces of Ger
man she'll When the time came
Ger his discharge, he was asked
about the matter of disability com.
pensation. His reply was that he
wanted not one cent of cOmpensa-
tion, but wanted to get home.
And, today. he does not draw. and
has never at any time, drawn one
single cent as compensation. altho
he is clearly entitled to it.
Now, you remember the p romises
we made to these boys when they
went over seas, or to the camps, as
we watched them marching through
the streets, or escorted them to the
train. OF all the good things we
would do for them when they came
back Here Is one Of them who gave
up a good position, enlisted in the
service of his Government, In her
time of need. and though entitled
to disability compensation, has
never drawn one cent. The voters
of this County have an opportunity
to show their appreciation of this
service and of this spirit. and to, in
measure, keep the promises made
to the boys.
Show your appreciation by voting
for Hinton H. Hunter for Cunty
Treasurer on November 7th. ADV

PLAIN TALK TO The TEXANS

1t is said that upon one occasion GER
tam Farmers Union lecturer was telling
the farmers of Texas of the mistake they
were making. He said: "The great mis-
take with the Texas farmer is that he
doesn't live at home, he depends on SELL
ing cotton too much. You are continual
ly buying something, and you don't ever
sell anything. Toillustrate what mean;
| need but call your attention to the fact
that when you awake in the morning It is
to the alarm of Connecticut clock. You
get up and button on Chicago suspenders
to YOUR Detroit overalls. You 60 out and
wash your face with Cincinnati soap in an
Indianapolis wash basin. lou sit down
to your breakfast, eat from table made
in Grand Rapids, Mich, and you eat
Chicago meat. Your bread is made of
Tennessee floor, cooked on St. Louis
stove. You go out and put New York
bride on a Kentucky mule, fed on Iowa
corn, and plow your farm all day, which
is covered with Massachusetts, mortga
ge At night when you get home you
read Bible printed in Boston and you say
a prayer that was written in Jerusalem.
And you crawl under blanket manufac
tured in New Jersey, to be kept awake all
night by a mongrel dog-the only home
product you have on the farm" Moral:
Encourage home production and buy of

PRIEST SAVED HUNGRY BIRDS
Now Feathered Songsters Say Mass
for Their Kind Protector, Ac-
cordng to Legend.

On religious holidays, when the bells
In the centuries old mission church at
Juarez, Mexico, ring for vespers, out
of the green fields of the Rio Grande
valley swarms vast horde of red
winged blackbirds. They flutter and
chrp in melodious clouds around the
antique Spanish belfry before settling
to rest in the trees of the Plaza de
Armas. Whenever this happens, all
over Juarez pious souls cross them
selves and whisper, "Mass is being
sung again for the kind padre"
What the kind PADRES name was
or when he lived are matters lost In
the depths of human forgetfulness.
But some time in the Seventeenth or
early Eighteenth century, the Juarez
good souls know, the blackbirds were
dying by thousands in drought which
dried the Rio Grande In its bed and
withered the valleys vegetation to
husks. Then it was the kind padre.
sharing with them the little stock of
corn that he had boarded for himself
and his horse, saved the birds until
the rains came.
SO, although even the pious admit
that some blackbirds roost In the Plaza
de Armas every night no scoffer can
persuade them that the whole black
bird population of the valley does not
come there on the especially sacred
days to chirp mass for the kind soul
which befriended them in bygone
century.-D. Ackmann in the New
York Evening Post.
