BEWARE WHEN THEY TALK

Beware of folks who talk too free,
And let their tongues so loosely wag,
They some times end all joy and
glee,
And stow bright sunshine in bag.
The ginks who come to you with
tales
OF erring hicks and sinful guys
And smite folks rank with wordy
fails
Should bear the watch of careful
eyes
They come to you with smiling face
Assuring in a secret way,
They do not wish to bring disgrace
Nor drag good names thru mud and
clay
They swear they mean to do no
harm
That all their talk is for the best i.
That they would not, for house or
farm
Cause any one the least unrest.
But still they spread their wretched
spiel.
And roast fair lives DER flaming
Goals.
Destroying all the fun and veal
of many, many, happy souls.
They never see the gentle acts
That people some times pause to do;
To these they always turn their
backs
And wait until the deed is through
But let some chap just make a slip
Or some sweet Miss do one slight
wrong
And they will come with prating lips
To show them up in prose and song
So watch out for these free tongue
eggs,
These vicious birds who seem sc
nice
They're worse than any set of yeggs
They are the devils own device.
If they will knock some other gent
They'll knock you too wiener they
can
And make folks think that you have
spent
Your whole blame life in reeking
sin. j. ]. S.

STANTON WINS WATER SUIT

The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals has dismissed an appeal by
the Chesapeake and Western Rail-
way, the North River Electric Com
from a decision of the District of
Columbia Supreme Court refusing an
injunction against the government to
prevent the execution of a lease or
contract with the city of Staunton,
by which the water of the North
River was piped to that place
The lower court denied the ap-
plication in June, 1924, and while
the petitioners noted an appeal, they
did not file supersedeas bond, and
the government made the contract
Juy l, 1924.
The appeal did not reach the
higher court until September of that
year, and the government asked a
dismissal which the court granted.
The Appellate Court decided the
question of the rights of the city of
Stanton under the contract, remark
ing that the city was not a party to
the suit
While the Staunton case is dissim-
liar in some respects to the litigation
begun in the Woodstock-Sto
Creek project, yet there were several
the points at issue in the Woodstock
project. However. the appeal just
heard and dismissed in Washington
was disposed of on technical grounds.
the court not going into the merits
of the case.

LACKEYs HE SAYS

Carlton Penn, world war veteran
of Roanoke, was Armistice day ora
tor at Harrisonburg on Wednesday.
His eloquence and logic was a fea-
ture of the exercises Among other
things Mr. Penn said 81 must confess
that we have through our indiffer-
ence allowed representatives to go to
Richmond who tremble as lackeys of
the Anti Saloon League and the vir-
ginia Pilots Association" They are
bullied into class legislation, so Mr..
Penn said.

1T is EASY

1t is an easy thing for the most
of US to see the faults in our fellow
man, but it is rather difficult for
people to locate the mote in their
own eyes OF course there are many
folks among us who do not care to
hunt for the imperfections and flaws
in others. They are too pleased and
contented with the many blessings
nature has bestowed upon them to
be peeping and sneaking around try
ing to scare up covey of old bleary
eyed notes. They are happy. and
when people are happy they have
no time to find fault with their
brother. This business of fault
finding originates from jealousy.
downright meanness and the lack of
insight into ones own character.
Either one of these detestable or
gies of disposition is sufficient to
destroy happiness and to make of a
man a thoughtless critical being.
Old Bobby Burns once wrote in his
ode to the lowly louise:
"Oh, wad some power the giftie
gle us
To see ourselves as others see us,
1t wad frae many blunder free
US
And foolish notion"
And let us say in words of mod
ern slang that the gent certainly
penned a mouthful, for when we be-
gin to know and see ourselves as
others do, we will find that we are
not that beautiful, sanctimonious
specimen we have imagined. 1t
would do all of us good to take an
occasional inventory of our short
comings, and when we have finished
perhaps we will forever hold our 81
lence. We will at least discover that
a lot of people are not so bad after
all.
