SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses

Man reaches his lowest level
when his dog deserts him.
Fads die almost over night
when you quit talking about them.
The tendency of most Of us is
to play safe rather than do the
right thing.
The first fellow to try some
thing new attains the distinction
of being called a fool.
Golf would lose its popularity
over night If those who follow 1t
realized that it is just plain
work.
Solomon showed his wisdom
when he omitted publishing his

perhaps, than trying to be a
statesman without having the
necessary intellect.

To see the bright sun beam1ng

And walked the burrows behind the plows,
And chapped the cotton to make it grow,
