WOMAN AND A WATER DROP.
COUNTING FORD CHICKENS,
STARVING CHILDREN.
THE SHAH DIDN'T CARE.

County Clerk Niendorf, of Michigan,
issues with each marriage license
"Ten Rules to Insure Happy Married
Life" Here is a sample:
Keep up the courtship period.
Go $3.50 on the money and $3.50 on
the love. Don't live with relatives,
or keep boarders. Don't be a tight
wad."
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1923-10-31

But 1t ought TO be the l1fS DuS1-
ness, and it ought to be the business
of the entire white race, to see that
young children are fed and have a
chance.
The undernourished children of Eu-
rope today may mean Asiatics ruling
in Europe fifty years hence.
The English interfered with child
labor and child stunning, forbade the
starving of children that they might
be small enough for chimney cleaning,
when they found that they grew up
too small for the army.
In Germany the price of a loaf of
bread jumps four hundred and forty
million marks in a day. That number
of marks would have been one hun
dred and ten million dollars before the
war. No telling what will happen to
men, when their money goes as crazy
as that.
Even Nature seems to be fighting
against miserable men. In South AT
RIGA, a deadly drought and scorching
wind storms have dried up the water
supply, while loeusts, in swarms, have
destroyed green plants. 1t is feared
that all cattle will die.

money panics, tidal waves, and, worst
of all, human beings and nations in

Such rules mean little. Every man
knows that one drop of salt water,
patiently studied, will tell you all
about the Pacific Ocean, which is sim
ply a collection of so many drops.
Marriages would last longer If men
realized that each woman Is to all
women what a drop of salt water is to
the ocean. Study, analyze, interest
yourself in the woman that the Lord
has assigned to you. One is enough,
and has within her, If you will look
for it, everything that you would find

Democrats, counting chickens eve
before the eggs are laid, say that
Ford, running independently, will take
so many farmers from the Republican
party as to make Democratic victory
certain.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1923-10-31

Democrats forget that Ford's chief
plank will tell of the wonderful things
to be done for the South, at Muscle
Shoals.
Ford would draw farmers from the
Republican party, but he might also
break up the solid South, elect him
self, and leave Messrs. Coolidge and
McAdoo wondering what happened.
Cotton prices are strong. October
cotton passed 80 on Wednesday. De-
cember went above 20 yesterday.
Manufacturers would do well to buy
their raw supplies now Cotton will
be higher-a good thing for the South
and the North, as well.
