Things You Should Know
WORRY.

l knew a woman, wife of. a small
farmer, who was born in pioneer
days when the popular habitation
was a log cabin with a dirt floor.
She married early, and grew a
family of eight children. Her own
hands wove the clothing of her
family; she sewed the garments by
hand-no machines then. She
cooked, summer and winter, on
log fireplace. She helped do the
butchering, rendered the lard,
made soap from the trimmings
and did the family wash at the
nearby creek. l cannot think of
anything that she did not do, or
assist in doing,-even to bringing
fire-wood and helping to chop it
into suitable lengths for use as
fuel.
She lived to be a little past
ninety-two years of age! And,
with all this, l never knew her to
worry or complain at her task.
This woman was not a freak
We are the freaks, we who worry
at trifes and regard all work as
degrading, all toll as unworthy Of
our hands. We have almost come
to regard motherhood with ipdig-
nation in these days of fashion and
progress.
My point is, that work never
harmed any living soul, if carried
on intelligently, without worry.
Sickness is merely the Christening
for offenses committed-ignorant-
ly or wilfully, and every crime
against right living is sure to bring
punishment.
Worry kills-striving to do the
impossible, at unseeming hours,
overlooking, intemperance in ambi-
ton, and in neglecting the laws of
rest and recreation.
What a lesson in longevity!
There are none so blind as they
who will not see.

A BUSINESS NATION

It has long been the fashion for certain writers and speakers to crtcse the American people for their mercialism-ther desire to make money
 While it is true that the making of money is not very high ambition, it must be remembered that it is through genius for business that we have been able to provide funds for the nnuerable things worth whie such as are not enjoyed by any other nation in the degree.
 Great sums devoted to educational, religious, char tabe and artistic purposes have been made possible through successful business pursuits Scientific re- search, the advancement of health measures, better homes, and the comforts and refnements of civilization generally have been due to the ability of people to acquire money and to their willingness to spend it for these things.
 Most of the highbrow critics of business obtained their education at colleges and universities endowed and made possible by business Business and money making not the end of national ambition but the means whereby civilization may be promoted anr pre- served.
 If President Coolidge is in the habit of talking to him. se the White House reporters should also have try at lip-reading.
 Rouge and powder wear off, but the habit of using them doesn't

Carl Swanson is a Swede

Carl Swanson is a Swede, A nice young man, indeed, He came down on the railroad To see, once more steamboat. He's blonde and strong and true With eyes a-sparkling blue A letter came from Juneau, Where from, he did not do know. Then, Carl, was tickled pink, He couldn't speak think, The scent of roses, sweet and rare, Told him, it is from Elsie, fair. Oh,-he was trembling wild, He nothing else but smild: And full of joy he open'd up The pinky, silky envelop. And now, that's sure, that Carl In Juneau has a gal, He sure will take the Watson" dow, To see his Elsie in Juneau town.

Live At Home"

They've got farmer somewhere up
in Mississippi County named J. v.
Pierce Becoming interested in the
'live-at-home campaign" he wrote a
letter to the Chamber of Commerce of
Blytheville and gave statistics of what
he has already accomplished along
these lines in Mississippi county. His
letter was published this week in the
Mississippi Valley Leader and ought TO
be proof conclusive to any of The
doubling Thomases that the farmers
can live at home in Mississippi county
If they make an effort to do so.
quote extracts from the letter of Mr..
Pierce as 1t appeared in the Leader.
He says: "As you are taking such
interest in diversified farming, want
to show you some actual figures on
what / have done for the last three
years with three cows and a few
chickens.
"At first / did not keep books as l
should have done and / found that If
was to know If l was making money
from my cows and chickens that 1t
was necessary to keep an absolute re-
cord of receipts and expenses.
"In 1923 and 1924, / kept record
of all receipts and found that for 1923
my cows and chickens brought me In
cash $652.60. In 1924 my receipts were
$463.75.
"In 1925, kept a record of both re-
ceipts and expenses, including feed,
groceries, dry goods, blacksmith bills,
etc.
"This record shows that my total
income was $5s497 and my total ex-
pense was $52492 leaving me a net
profit Of S6005.
MY cows and chickens paid for
their feed and paid my store bills for
the year and left me a profit of $6O-05."
Whatever Mr. Pierce realized from |
his cotton in 1925 he probably placed !
i'm the bank since he required none of |
it for clothing or subsistence. What |
this farmer accomplished in Mississippi |
county might be duplicated in any
other county in Arkansas. When the
time comes that farmers of Arkansas
give more attention to these small side
lines then we will see more prosper
GUS and more cOntented Arkansas.-

PRODUCTION OF GOLD

As possible means of stabilizing prices and preventing wide fluctuations in prices, Dr. R. A. Lehfeldt, of South Africa told the House committee on banking and currency that it might be we'll to hold an information al conference to devise plans for controlling the production of gold. He suggested the creation of an international commission with power to take over and control and op- crate all the leading gold mines of the world, to prevent over-production.
 Dr. Lehfeldt told how prices tended stead fly downward from 1873 to 1896, followed by steady rise in prices up to the world war. In the first period, he said, the amount of gold produced at the mines was not suf- ficient; but in the second period the cost of production was too great. He maintained that if a super abundance of gold should continue it will not be possible to maintain the price level. Discount rate must be sup plemented by control of gold, in his opinion.
 The production of gold in the United States and in the world has declined some what since 1918. This was due, so far as the United States is concerned, to the in- creased cost of production. However cov- ering long period of time, it is significant that the world production of gold has about kept pace with population and wealth.
