PARAGRAPHS TO PONDER


About Religion and Business
Use rules that are based upon
golden ones.
Don't do questionable business to
make money, such money costs too
much.
Don't advertise your religion on
circulars-miX it with your business.
Be as religious in your buying and
selling as you are in your singing and
praying.
If you are honest only because you
have to be honesty is a bad policy.
IF one puts the little apples in the
bottom of the measure and sells them
all for big ones he may soon think
the bible is only common book"
If some men didn't give more at
tention to their personal business
than they give to the Lords they
would be bankrupt in a short while;
yet how important is the Lords bust
ness.
The erich fool gave plenty of at
tention to earthly things, but forfeit
ted his spiritual business at the ex-
pense of his soul.
Lay up treasures in heaven.
There is little religion in a profess
sion which will ignore honest debts.
If you keep a dollar God needs in
His business it will soon become your
master.
Some folk sponge the Gospel, but
pay full price for every thing else
Let's, even up.
Are you making religion a business
or making business of your religion?
Is the Golden Rule workable in
business? Don't condemn it until you
have thoroughly tried it out.
Do business for the Lord and you
will not need to fear bankruptcy.
Would your business thrive on the
same time and attention you give to
your religion?
Does business of the week ever tire
you so greatly that your religion
suffers Sunday morning?
Does the world know from our
work day business THAI we are Chris
tians?
Your greatest business in life is
to get rich toward God.
Is your business paying dividends
for the next world?
Lay up treasures in Heaven" you
must leave the earth's possessions
behind. They are temporal.
Seek first things first" that's
your chief business here.
Do business for God and God will
do business for you.
Business and religion will not
agree if you put your business first
and your religion second.

FORD SALES PASS THE
HALF MILLION MARK IN
A HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS

More than half million Ford Cars
and Trucks sold in 12O days.
That is the astonishing record
just established by the Ford Motor
Company, ecipsing all previous sales
figures and emphasizing more strong
ly than ever the right of the Ford to
the title "The Universal Car.
From January 1 to May l sales of
Ford Cars and Trucks in the United
States reached the enormous total of
56l, 544, nearly twice the number sold
at retail during the same period a
year ago when the total was 283, 1872.
Even with its huge production IA
cilities, now operating on a schedule
in excess of $500 Cars and Trucks a
day, the company is unable to keep
up with the unprecedented demand.
April set new sales record for the
month, just as has every other month
this year, and was the thirteenth con-
secutive month in which sales have
run over the 100000 mark
Sales during April totaled 1861 S2
Ford Cars and Trucks, $4,000 more
than were delivered in the same
month last year when 115,282 retail
deliveries were made.
New production records were estab-
lished by the Ford Motor Company
for the week ending Tuesday, May 8,
during which total of 39,O53 Cars
and Trucks were turned out for do
nestle use, according to announce
ment by The Ford News. This ex
ceeds by 1872 the previous high record
set the week before.
Daily production records went to
a new high mark Friday, May 4.
when $500 Cars and Trucks were
assembled, beating the record of g.
573 established on Tuesday, April II.
Fordson Tractor production for the
week ending Tuesday was 2,578.
During the same week the Lincoln
division of the Ford Motor Company
produced 176 Lincoln Cars,-E. S.

AN UNCIVILIZED SYSTEM RE-
SUIT OF SOUTHERN POL
ITTCS

One of the ways in which many
Southern states have sought to han
die certain phases of the race prob
lem has been to establish a system
under which a man convicted of vag-
rancy or of some trihing offense
against the law and unable to pay the
fine assessed against him is put up
to the highest bidder and his services
sold at stipulated price per day for
such length of time as may be re-
quired to pay his fine. AS a result
of this system it has been often al
legged that negroes in many localities
are practically reduced to slavery.
They will be arrested as Migrants in
the spring, fined 500 or some other
impossible sum, and sold to some
planter who will take them out onto
his plantation and work them all
summer to pay out their fine, then
turn them loose to shift for them
selves through the winter, to be vag-
rants again in the spring.
But this system, intended in the
first place to be applied to negroes
only, has gradually been extended
until it includes white men as well.
Other employers besides planters
have found out that the police and
justice courts may become a source
of cheap labor supply. So there have
grown up through the South convict
camps where unfortunate men of
offense and having no friends, are
virtually enslaved, compelled to work
long hours at the most laborious
tasks for an allowance of a pittance
a day to be applied on an unreason-
able fine. This would be bad enough
in itself, even if the men were treat
ed humanely. But in altogether too
many cases these camps are scenes
of the most revolving cruelty. Men
are confined in filthy barracks, they
are fed badly cooked and unwhole-
some food, they are compelled to
work long hours, and are at the
mercy Of brutal keepers who seem to
have taken the Simon Legree type of
a slave driver as their model.
In such a camp as this in the
state of Florida more than ye2r
ago a boy from South Dakota, cor
victed of stealing ride on a train,
fined and sold for payment of the
fine, was fiogged to DEATH The
testimony brought out before tie
grand jury investigating the case
showed that at this particular camp
whipping boss" was employed,
man apparently was engaged and
paid for no other task than to main
tain discipline at the camp and whose
one idea of discipline was to fog the
men, indiscriminately and unmerci-
fully. Witnesses testified that the
boy who died was whipped VITA a
heavy strap, weighted until it weigh
ed pounds, until from his neck to MS
heels not an inch of unbrollen skin
was left on his body
The testimony in this case was 50
shocking that the legislature of Flor
ida, fortunately being in session, o.
dered an inquiry into the entire sys-
TEN of convict camps and the sale of
men to secure payment of their fines.
1t will be to the endless credit OF this
legislature if it maH-s this inquiry
searching and conclusive, publishes
the evidence it develops and t!.en very
promptly repeats the laws under
which it has been possible to bmld up
system that in many of its aspects
is more shocking and intoeraJie than
slavery itself.

Winter Going

The days and nights are colder
than days and nights should be, but
Winters growing older, and soon
the coop he'll fee; he'll quit his
tragic poses, so let US thaw our
noses and think Of yellow roses
upon a dark green lea. The thought
is most consoling that nothing here
can last, when snow and sleet are
rolling upon a bitter blast; the
wind, with zeal uncanny, zips
through each nook and Granny;
but cheer up, Gentle Annie is COM
ing, coming fast. There's nothing
that's enduring, in time all things
are canned; this knowledge should
be curing the sores we have on
hand; now Winter makes US quiver,
he make us shake and shiver; but
Annie will deliver, full soon, the
frozen land Oh, nothing lasts for
ever, all mortal things must fade !;
Old Time their grip will sever and
plant them with his spade; if any
thing is trying. there is no use III
crying; cheer up, it's doubtless dy-
ing. its epitaph is made. SO when
! have the willes upon a snowy
day, 1 think of Easter lilies, and
things that bloom in May: while
Father Winter figures on springing
further rigors, think Of flies and
chiggers and bullfrogs far away.
