Do Them All the Time

HERETOFORE we have been running largely to
IL weeks. For instance "clean up week." paint
the barn week." "set the hen week." "pay your
debts week" kiss your wife week" go to church
week" "scrub the porch week." wash your feet
week." and so on for a string of weeks running into
months. We do these things in n hectic week and
then lay off. The question naturally arises, if
these things are worth a weeks effort and are
as good as the propaganda leads one to believe,
why are not some of them good for regular three
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS practice?
If it is a good thing for a man to clean up his
surroundings and make them look spic and span
for a week, why would it not be better to keep
things in that condition for fifty-twO weeks. And
if there is any virtue in going to church for a week,
why not be a regular attendant? Then, again, if
kissing your wife for a week improves things at
home, is there any reason why kissing her every
day would not be a whole lot better than the way
you are doing.
So, If washing your feet for n week contributes
to sanitary improvement can any objection lie
against more frequent practice for the remainder
of the year?
The trouble with us all is, that We want to do n
thing all at once, with a great hurrah, with no
thought of upkeep.
Everyone of the projects named and many more
in addition that could be named, are desirable.
They are worth the effort we put into them. But
they are worthy of more permanency, more con.
stancy. They should not be allowed to lapse after
a weeks devotion. They should become fixed hab'
its the year through, and then We would not be call.
ed upon at some announcement time to do the whole
Job at once, or in the short space of n week.
By far the better plan, is to do the things you
should do all the tiIne; and not wait for the neigh
bors TO drum you up by means of a brass band TO
do them in n hurry.

Memorial 10 Page.

IN II HOST of officials whom former Presi.
L dent Wilson appointed to places of responsible
iy before and during the war, the name of Walter
Hines Page shines out as n brilliant exception to
the mediocre ability that distinguished most of
them. Mr.. Page was the American ambassador at
London for five years, which included the entire
period of the war. Although he owed his appoint.
ment to Mr.. Wilson, the fact did not deter him
from expressing vigorous dissention from many of.
the Tacillating policies and the unprepar edness
that marked the course of the Wilson administra.
ton previous to our entrance into the war.
Speaking on the subject of Mr.. Page and the
trying days of the war, the London Times has said
this:
What he suffered was beyond the power even
of his agile pen, welded in the fullest freedom of
private correspondence to express. But while his
confidence in the judgment of the American govern.
mcnt sometimes faltered, his faith in the spirit of
the American people was unquenchable."
The Life and Letters of MI. Page contain mn.
merous letters that he wrote to President Wilson
in those crucial times that show how his mind
utterly failed to ego along with that of his chief
in Washington. Ambassador Page made a profound
impression upon the leaders of the British govern
ment, so much so that they have started n move.
ment to erect a memorial to him in London.
Although in this country we have witnessed an
almost frantic effort to raise funds for a Woodrow
Wilson Foundation, no American has seen fit to
perpetuate the memory of Ambassador Page, whose
chief duty was to reconcile the policies and acts of
Woodrow Wilson with the facts as they were pre-.
scented.

with the opening of the e. ses.
sion of congress will! come the time
for all good men to rush to the aid of
the Constitution" say the Spring
field Union" That is, provided there
are any good men that are without
designs on this famous document.
Never in all its history has it been.
threatened as it now is; In fact, the
impression seems to prevail hat this
is an open season on the Constitu-
ton, and that everyone is privileged
to take a hot at 1t. More than fifty
proposed amendments r in the
works, and tho number is increasing
day by day. Considering the fact
that the venerable instrument which
forms the foundation Of our govenn.
ment and our laws has managed to
pull through 1876 years with only
nineteen amendments. this, sudden
outbreak of amendicitis is nothing
short of appalling.
THE proposed amendments aim to
cure everything from divorce evils to
the extr~a-privi.iged status of women
Every senator or congressman with a
fad. hobby or a reform idea in his
head has Incorporated It into an
article to be tackled or to tho poor,
covering Constitution. Some are
not satisfied to take one shot at the
ancient document. but are preparing
to fire ~broadsides of amendments.
This is especially true " the new
members of congress. who, some of
them hailing from the backwoods,
naturally regard themselves as ex
perts in Constitution-tinkering.
"one thing. however. which will
strike some observers as very strange
is the omission OF what seems to be
the most important and. indeed. nee
essary amendment of all, an amend.
ment requiring candidates and pros
pective candidates for congress to
pass an intelligence test with
such an amendment adopted and rati-
fled there might still be some hope
for the poor old Constitution"

Where DO You LiUc?

SKILL can build a house but it requires the serv-
~ ices of the master architect Love, to build n
home. Did you ever stop to think of how many of
the pretentiOus mansions of the world are miscall-
ed by the sacred title of home? Not all of course,
but many of them. Where the fathers and mothers
arc too occupied by other interests, mostly selfish
ones and outside ones, TO make the home what it
should be.
To be a home, there must be more than furniture
and fixtures and food and luxuries. There must
be children or it can seldom be n home.
There can be no grouchy impatient head of the
family, too absorbed i'll his newspaper to listen
sympathctically and Understandings to the things
that are Il part of childhood; nor no mother crab
bed and ~nagging, too tired to take a part in the
family interests and the wants and needs of a lit
tie girl or a little boy.
There must be love, real genuine love, not the
outward similitude of it. 1t must be between the
parents. If it is there it is among the children.
It is in the daily life of the family. 1t is not as.
sumed or pretended for the benefit of company nor
to fool the neighbors. It is there as the Coner'
stone and foundation of the home, and any mere
structure that rises upon any other foundation is
not a home. 1t is n place to live. A shelter from
the rain, where the occupants are but little better
than strangers and have but little more in common.

Smokers Born to Trouble.

The smoker is born to trouble.
Sparks fall, burning nice round holes
In his clothes. Ashes fall either on
his Goa or on the floor and his wife
objects to both. Then there is the
matter of matches. It isn't a light
one. The question of where they go
occupies some of the finest minds to
the almost complete exclusion OF
everything else.

stage of the day where there is moth

change shoes for slippers. You take
OFF your coat and put on a robe. You
throw your collar in one corner and
your tie in another. So.
Then you get the chairs. There is
the sitting chair, pulled under the
light at just the angle you wish.
Usually YOU have to move al the rest
OF the furniture in the room to get It
there, but no matter. Then the feet
chair just the right distance away.
And another chair for the ash tray.
And the fourth on the other side for
the books.
You get out a pile Of books. You
Chamber in. This is goodl Um-m.m.
You reach out for a cigar or a cigar
cite or that literary pipe. You reflect
lazily nat the gods cannot harm YOU
as you reach for a match. 1t was
your last chance to retain that illu.
sion.
You grope in the right hand picket
of your robe for fully n minute before
You realize that there is nothing in it
but your hand. Automatically you
try the other pocket. Funny. nothing
there either. You examine your
pants pockets. Nothing there either,
but not so funny.
Surely you aren't going to have to
get up! There must b. some other
way. There Isn't, of course. You
swear, but YOU get up. It is harder
TO get out han it was to get in. You
noel off the ash tray the first
thing. Then you spend ten minutes
among the ashes of yesterdays wor.
ship of the blue smoke goddess.
The matches are not in the coat

now, though. There's n folder in

when you bought the last package.
You remember perfectly.

No One Preventing Him

L would be a practical application of the charity
of Abraham Lincoln to remit the allied debt to this

Volve breaking faith with every taxpayer and Lib

Action Desired

REGARDLESS of party affiliation, the whole
IL country will agree that congress should take
decisive action ON way or the other on the mer.
chant marine nlr. Ihc president stated the matter
tersely and cOmprchcnsively when he said:
Congress owes to itself, to the executive branch
of the government and to the American public some
decisive action. Mere avoidance by prolonged de.
bate is a mark of impotence on a vitality important
question, l plead for a decision. If there is n favor.
able majority, the bill should be enacted. If a ma.
jority is opposed defeat will be decisive"
Action one way or the other is what the country
wants. a congress that can't act is about as irri.
tating as an automobile that won't run.

I stand alone by the sea
And hear the mad angry roar
OF the soldiers of the deep
As they charge against the shore
Slyly they reach out for me
With hands hat are wet and cold
Slim fingers tear at my heart
Soon, now, the tale must be told.
Bolder and wilder they grow;
One, a petrol on his crest,
Pulls me down. 1 slip and fall
Fail into Eternal rest.

A case of more than usual
interest was the damage suit
Of DR.. Haralson against the
city of Vicksburg, involving the
legalit of the placing of bump
ers by municipalities to slow
Gown motorists at dangerous
points. DR.. Haralson was in
jured when his car went over
one of these bumpers, and the
court awarded him damages to
the extent "of $1,000. If we
mistake not, similar damage
suit case in Hazelhurt was de-
cided the other way-that is,
the town won. No doubt the
State Supreme Court will be
called on to make an authorla-
tive ruling in the matter, but
in the mean while it would be
safest for municipalities to 60
slow on erecting bumpers, and
to more rigidly enforce the
speed limit law. If the speed
limit is enforced, there will not
be much danger of accidents.

STATE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION
(W. F. Bond, Supt.) }

Under the law any school
getting up, of it's own accord
as much as ten dollars may
receive from the County Super
intendent, out of the county
common school fund, another
ten dollars with which to buy
books for the library.
The county superintendent
cannot, however, pay more than
ten dollars to any one school,
nor pay out more than one
hundred dollars for this pur-
pose during any one school
year In other words, the first
ten schools in any county every
year getting up ten dollars
for library purposes, may re-
ceive ten dollars to match it
from the county superinten-
dent. =
Every school should have at
least a small library of well
selected books. If we encour-
age the children to read good
books they will never desire
to read bad ones. Someone
has said, eff we introduce the
children to TIE right kind of
looks, they Of their own ac-
cord will get a fairly good edu-
cation.
Let US hope that the princi-
pals and trustees of every good
school will do everything poss-
ible. this year. to get a few
good books suitable for use in
the different grades of their
respective schools.
