The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1922-10-19

That is good enough for us.
Are YOU always right i'll your
judgment?
Many people think they are-no
person ever is.
Nineteen hundred years ago we
had one perfect man, whose judi
ment was never at fault. Because
of his perfection he died upon>a cross,
his agony shared by thieves.
Since then the world has never
known another.
Why, then. should we, humble
mortalS that we be, imagine that our
Judgment is never at fault, or that
we are incapable of falling into
error?
The next time you get into an ar
gument, and lose your temper, and
are on the point of resorting to force,
stop and think of the years that
have flown since the manger en-
nobled the beginning and the blood
stained cross witness the end of per-
lection in mankind.
1t is barely possible that you may
sometimes be in error.
If a merchant, or a banker, or
farmer. or an editor becomes in
vOlved in a row with his employees
and has to close down his business
for weeks or months, he accepts his
loss as a man should.
The coal operators, however. are
not Of this class. They are saddling
their loss onto the public in the shape
of enormously increased prices of
coal, and are profiteering in a. con-
ScienceleSS and shameless manner.
And since Washington appears un-
willing TO perform its duty, the pub
lie becomes the goat and pays its
pound of flesh.
This is the best country under the
sun. 1t will be an even better one
when you do your full duty as
citizen. America needs the best that
is in each of her sons.
Yes, it's quite true that women's
skirts are coming down. We mean
they are to be made longer.
The men don't like it, and many
of the women are peeved over the
latest decree Of fashion.
But the longer a dress is the more
the dressmakers can charge for
making it. Then the manufacturer
who makes the goods, and the
merchant who sells them, all get
a crack at the customer in the in
creased amount of material required.
Still, there is an element of good
in almost everything that come
along. Masculine eye strain will be
considerably relieved. That will
compensate some.
And now another thought pops
out. 1t will hit the optical people,
because there will be less demand for
long distance magnifying glasses.
Shucks It's all muddled up any
way we look at it.
The only way of escape is to quit
looking. But what red blooded man
will voluntarily do that?
Give unto the needy in proportion
as the Lord gives unto you-but
don't expect that alone to open the
pearly gates.
The fellow who is able to give
dollar to charity and doles out a
nickel gets credit from the Lord for
only the nickel he gives.
The poor person who gives more
than he or she can really afford gets
credit far beyond the amount given.
You may hide your ably to give
from human eyes, just as you hide
your wealth from the assessor, but
the All Seeing One knows of every
penny you possess.
The pearly gates are easily opened
and they are just as easily closed.
Are you troubled with insomnia?
It's easily cured in most cases.
Walk mile before breakfast.
Hotfoot 1t, and don't lag.
Put in eight hours of good hard
work, and don't loaf on the job.
Eat three square meals a, day
chew your food properly, and drink
coolies of water.
Walk two miles more after supper,
and push yourself along.
Go to bed only when you begin
to feel drowsy.
You'll sleep.
In 1921 the women OF America
spent more than $2S,OO0,O00 for,
hair nets.
When the hair is worn bobbed
there is but little need for a net.
Mr.. Thrifty Father, why kick
when your daughter wants to dis
card her long hair?
Some people imagine that the
farmer is lucky dog who lives in
