when you get out in the great

1t you get hungry eat off of
your liscense plates. If the young
lady with you is indifferential,
use the spark. But be courteous
enough to hand her the wind

and be sure not to SLENDER. Take
plenty of jack. Ii you get cold
use the hood. Don't tire OF the
trip. For brushing your teeth

further with you let motometer.
Remember you can't drive safely
without head light, that is IL
light head. Don't bolt your food;
only a nut does that. Keep your
bearings at all times, then sound
taps and shift back home, before
you choke.

FEED FOR CATTLE

Silage rations are usually
more economical than grain and
hay for wintering beef cattle in
the Appalachian mountain re-
gion, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Most
of the cattle handled in the area
are produced there ind carried
until 2 to3 years of age and
marketed in the fall off grass.
The main problem is that of
winter feeding so as to get the
maximum use of grass during
the summer grazing season.
A series of experiments in
West Virginia to determine the
relative value of various
methods of wintering cattle in
the Appalachian region was car
ried on by the department in
Agricultural Expermt. Station
A report of the results of
the tests has been published in
Department Circular 4O8--C,
"Wintering Beef Cattle in the
Appalachian Region"
Grass should be depended on
to produce the bulk of gain, ac-
cording to the bullttin. Beef

Fer A Chronical Kicker.
(BY F. C. RAINES.)

(BYF. C. RAINES.)
Tl ere's a certain locoed Johnny,
That thinks he is very smart;
He lives right here in Clintwood,
And his name we'll not impart.
He thinks he is the real thing,
And we know he's not a peach;
While in his estimation,
Heis higher than God can reach.
But in getting in the paper,
There is some that always fail;
Tor their contributions are as
worthless,
AS a ship that has no sails.
There is a wise old saying,
That years ago, we've read:
About fools always rushing IN,
Where angels dare not tread. .
Tut down at the postoffice,
Or any other place;
Tie kicks the county paper,
And calls it "a disgrace"
But we're right here to tell you,
Of sembles and sounding
Brass
That we can always distinguish,
The braying of an ass.
We don't wish to detract any
laurels,
That our locoed John may have,
nd we surely will not rob him,
Of the good that God can give.
We think that he was indiscreet,
To slur an enterprise;
That he may learn this lesson,
"That the foolish are not wise. ="
So now if this strikes you,
Because you think you're great;
Remember that the kickers,
Always have "cold feet"
But there always will be kickers,
And grumblers by the score;
But they'll not find room in hades,
For Satan will bar the door.

The Sunday Blue Law.
(BY G. G. HARRIS)

10Y u. u. HARRlS)
The council of a certain town,
Being short on things to do;
Resolved that they'd enforce a
law,
That Restaurant men call blue,
This law is an ancient one,
That has not been enforced;
1t pohibits the sale of pop and
cream,
The things that's wanted most.
They may next require all citizens
To obey the Golden Rule;
And force the heads of families,
To attend the Sunday School.
Well that would be a great thing
Just like splitting hairs;
But 'twould sure be a hardship,
To see them put on airs.
This blue law is a great one,
And it is darned hard to beat;
1t allows the sale of gasoline,
And forbids ice cream to eat.
But Satan has a place prepared,
For those that hate the Lord;
No blue laws can affect the flame
Or change the word of God.

only capital and labor. A new
group has come into i n d us try

have become more and more Of

The Humanity Of The Col
den Rule.

The human element will always
be present. The radio and pho
nograph bring music to millions
of people, but there must be mu-
>,icians to produce at the central
place. What was common labor
a few years ago is now the pro-
cess made possible by the MAJ
chine. But there must be hu-
man power and thought to make
the machines. There is no sub
stitute for brain-power.
But these Illustration are in
the physical field. They hardly
scratch the surface of the great
err element Of human aspiration.
For no machine can make a home,
tho it can make a house. There
is no button to press to get hui
man sympathy, Love is not pro-
duced from cog wheels. Kind
ness does not eminate from. a
vacuum tank. Friendship is not
held fast by brake Innings. We
often miss the real point in life
by thinking that happiness is
based on physical comfort, when
in truth physical comfort is but
an incident of happiness.
True happiness comes from
within; from the satisfaction,
among other things, Of having
obeyed the Golden Rule. For
surrounded by the luXuries OF
kings, or amid the beauties OF
mountain, desert or sea, among
the crowd or on solitary plain, if
one has not the feeling that he
has done unto others as he would
have others do unto him there can
be no real happiness. 1t is moi
the easy bed, but the easy con-
science that makes a man happy.
And it is our belief that people
need to recognize this principle
if they expect to give to the world
what they owe it, and receive
from the world what they believe
they have coming,

Odd Railroad Troubles

Railway accidents caused by
animals are not infrequent in some
parts of the world. A passenger
train in Siam few years ago was
delayed by running over a tiger on
viaduct. Shortly after this an
elephant, charging q freight, de-
rallied several cars, and. before 1t
was killed, wrecked the locomotive.
Insect pests in South Africa have
been known to cause railway trou-
bles. One report tells of a train
having been delayed for two hours
while the right of way was dis
puted with millions of Thousand
legs" In 1928 there were such
swarms of locusts in one district
that the right of way had to be
sprayed daily for more than
week.

And he did.
Soon the rogues asked for more money,
silk and gold which they declared they needed
for weaving, and they continued to work at
the empty looms.
The Emperor soon dispatched another
officer of the court to see how the weaving

who was so excessively
fond of grend, new

all his money upon
them. He had a coat
for every hour of the
day; and just as they

One day two rogues
came to town and gave
themselves out as weav-
