There are some people who go thru
life with smooth serenity that is sell

because they do not trouble to go deep
" into affairs and conditions around
them. They do no harm in the world,
and sometimes exert themselves to
the extent of doing a little good. We
like them, but they command no great
amount of admiration.
There is another class, and they are
in the majority, who are not ayerse to
speaking their minds Generally they
are fair students of men and condi-
tons, dig down after facts, make up
their minds after a careful analysis,
and then stand by their convictions.
They give praise where it is due, but
do not hesitate to censure when it be-
comes necessary. They are the con-
Istructive citizens of this country
And then there is still third class
They are the kickers-the chronic
ones-and their happiest moments are
when they are kicking at something,
or somebody, or both. They come into
the world kicking, go through life
with kick, and kick like the devil be-
cause they have to shuttle off. They
are destructive to society, but more
destructive to themselves.
The choice is yours.

LET'S HAVE one

We are a believer in women's clubs.
Properly conducted they accomplish
a world of good.
This town should have one.
A live organization of this kind has
wonderful field in which to labor.
There is the matter of bringing up
our boys in such a manner that they
will become leaders instead of drones
when they reach maturity.
We want to see our girls modest
and ladylike at all times, instead of
bold and defiant, as you find them in
some places. We want them to event.
ually make the right kind of mothers.
Then there are many women who
do not understand the art of manag-
ing a husband They do not employ
that degree of tact which produces
harmony instead of discord. A COM
parison of notes along this line would
produce wonderful results in some
homes.
In fact, there is no limit to the OPP
portunities for improving social and
domestic conditions.
Men are busily engaged in provid-
ing the necessities of the life and man.

minds are too much occupied to note
as they should the loose points of our
moral and social surroundings.

BIG BUSINESS
BUNGLES

Big Business makes a mistake in
opposing the soldier bonus so strenu-
ously. 1t is not wise, and it is not
patriotic.
If it were not for the work our sol
diers did in France Big Business would
not be as big as it is today. It would
be paying enormous tribute in one
way or another to a foreign country.
1t would not be dominant, and AFRO
CANT, as it is now, but would be beg
ging and cringing for mercy and fav-
ors. A victorious Germany would not
have proven a merciful taskmaster.
Big Business forgets. 1t needs to
have it's memory logged.
