.Be rton 5 fales Poem


Of Mr.. Daugherty's ruling hulds.l
Once on a time the sea was wot,
AS wet as wet could be,
But NOWADAYS you cannot get
a single drink at sea.
Closed Is the bar that once with
rye
Was stocked so plenteouslee,
For now the sea has been mhde
dry
By Mr.. Daugherty.
Time was the topper found ro.ivt,
When three miles out, but now
The heavy lines OF hopeless grief
Are craven on his brow.
The three mile limits vanished
quite.
And so IN vain we sigh
For there Is no relief in slght.
Since all the, seas are dry.
! gaze about me. west aud EAST,
And also north and south,
But there's no chance, no not the
jeast,
OF iessenIng the drouth.
And so l humble In despair.
AS round the sea ! blink,
Here's water, water everywhere
But nothing else to drink"

TO vote is the most important duty of the citt-
zen 1t is the only effective act by which the cti-
zen exercises his power as an integral part OF a
self-Governiug people So fur as national affairs
are concerned, the issue is fairly clear-whcther
the people of the country prefer to continue Re-
publican control of Congress or wish to return to
Democratic policies. The issues have been very
thoroughly discussed oil the stump and in the
press The Democratic regime is not so far away
but that its record can be fairly we'll remembered,
The Republicans have had only twenty months of
full control Of the affairs of the government and
have not yet had time to complete their program
but the record is extensive enough to enable the
average voter to compare it with the record Of the
previous Democratic administration. The question
is whether the country wants 10 go back to Demo.

All other efforts to create Republican dssenston
having failed the Democrats finally started the
story that Harding will not run for the presidency
again, the nope OF the Democrats being thus to
arouse rivalries. 1t won't work. MIR. Harding will

term provided his health keeps fairly good. If he

TOO MUCM PROFANITY
!.s.i.i.i.,..'..:....!....:

TOO often cussing Is taken as a
- matter Of course. Men In high
positions are frequently expert In the
use Of profane words, and the infiu-
ence of bad language has q bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort Is being made to In
crease the use Of better English, and
along with this propaganda II would
be well to preach considerable against
the use OF bad language.
Directly cusslng, unless the name of
the Master Is taken In vain, may cause
no great damage. But indirectly II does
much harm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing, their respect
for their elders is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using Il
themselves as matter of course. Not
infrequently we hear little sbavers,
hardly able to speak plainly, using
language which would put many men

Something to
Think Ab0uf
KEEP ON HIGH ROAD

TN A recent newspaper interview.
Charles NJ Schwab, ONE Of the
notable leaders In the steel industry
in which he began as a boy of seven
teen, forty-one years ago, said, II
would rather lose money month after
month in my plant than make II by
any but the highest methods in the
world"
Mr.. Schwab went to work TO learn
the business and he learned II thor
oughly by mastering every detail as
he proceeded. scorning a tired back
and soiled hands.
He credits his rise to loyalty to
his employer and states that success
came from constant application to the
subject In view.
Here In few simple words, for
those who will take time to read. will
be found the formula for the attain
ment Of success.
And here too is embodied the rule
which every person must accept as
his Own,--a hard and fast law as that
Of the Medes and Persians, unfailing
in results and bounteous in reward.
Let the Indifferent young man and
woman, inclined to grumble and shirk
duty. ponder the wonderful meaning of
"highest methods" and loyalty to en-
plOyer'
The five words may be llkened to
hinges upon which the great door of
success swings wide open at the un-
relenting push Of the hand and brain
that refuse to be denied entrance.
Whenever you go to work in sombre
days, remember that there Is within
you force, which, II properly applied,
will enable you to open this same door
and take your place among the leaders,
And this force must be called up
by you alone.
Nobody else can do it for you.
Have faith in yourself. Have no
fear, for fear is the rock on which
humans fall and go tumbllng into the
Valley OF despair.
No man or woman with fear in the
heart is capable of clear dlscernment,
sure judgment or superior accomplish
ment.
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid achievements OF others. and
those you want to do yourself Be
loyal and hold steadfastly to highest
methods.
Preserve an attitude OF courage,
courteousness and good cheer.
Avoid the malcontents, the grum-
blers, the sulkers and shlrkers, the
makers a. wry faces and the provok.
ers of quarrels.
Keep on the high road and in the
sunshine.
Move straight In the right direction
and some morning you will find that
success and honor are speeding to-
wards you with open arms.
