SMIIIN' THRU
BY GEE SEE
TIE FATEs VERSUS TOLL

Is there a yearning in your heart
To grasp the higher things of
life?
THEN must the earning on your
part
Prepare the way thru toll and
strife.
Fer Love and Happiness and
Wealth
Alike to all may come and go;
TT ey are not seen by those of
stealth
Who earn no right their boon
to know.
But those who match their yearn-
ing needs
With labored love of earning
deeds
VIII know to welcome Happi-
ness
And Love and Wealth with
eagerness.
Are you like the bird who asked
for job and was told that he
would be paid just what he was
worth. 81 won't work for that" he
replied in disgust.
Work is the lubricant that oils
the machinery of life. No man is
worth a tinker's dam who doesn't
grease his bones with it.

Spring fever is the excuse in
vented by the eternal laziness we
all inherit like catarrh, nuts from
the family tree and general cussed-
ness
We are all inherently and in
stinctivcly lazy. The reason why we
branched off from the apes is be-
cause some of our forebears fought
that laziness.
There is no surer way of de-
generating back to the ape than
allowing your laziness to get con-
troll of you.
Most people are instictively like
the negro who WASN'T AFRAID
fOF WORK. HE COULD LIE DOWN
AND SLEEP ALONGSIDE OF IT!
%#&&&+
1t is a God-send that most of us
HAVE to work. We would develop
nation of loafers if we didn't
No msn or woman has ever done
! anything worth while who wasn't
prodded into doing it.
&**%%*
We are always going to do some
thing fine and big and worth while
s&@s#s
But do we? Not unless we are
prodded into doing it.

Spring is here. Beware of her in
sidious charms. She urges you t.
take a day off''-"wait until tomor
row''-"Don't stay indoors on sucl
beautiful day"
Spring is also the time for be
ginning anew. Spring is the time
when Nature starts to build III
again all that the winter has de.
stroyed.
If you are afflicted with gen
eral cussedness at this time of the
year, don't start to knocking.
%@sM%$
Instead, go to the drug store
and get a spring tonic. There's bile
in your system. Get it out before
it sours you.
The law against carrying con-
cealed weapons should be applied to
the knockers who carry hammers.
sx&sh&
Hammer Murders" are not near
ly so horrible as hammer scandal
mongers and hammer knockers.
s&*#*A
The Hammer Murderer" is quick
ly strung up by the neck, and
that's thatl
But the hammer knockers are
left to continue their public menace
by their insidious wrecking of repu-
tations and hope and constructive
ness.
There ought to be included in
cunning laws an open season for
shooting Hammer Birds" They
should be shot on sight and their
hides stuffed and placed on public
exhibition as lesson to others.

I like the philosophy of Walter
T. Scott, MANAGER of the CHICAGO
office of the Goodyear and Lam
bertville Rubber Co. A letter has
just arrived from "Scotty" which
closes with the statement. "My
health is fine and my clothes fit
me-"
| sA&sss
And that's right Peoples char
acters are just like their clothes
they fit them according to their
sincerity.
The little runt who wants to APP
pear BIG, and buys clothes several
sizes too large in order to create
the illusion is only making an ass
of himself.
The narrow-minded and small-soul-
ed runt who tries to pose BIG only
makes an ass of himself by trying
to wear character several sizes
too big for him.
Character has to grow from with
init can't be assumed like a suit
