Some people who buy time don't know
where time leaves off and eternity begins.

It's a queer thing about luck,-it always
seems to favor the man who does't count on it.

Some people maks us positively happy when
they leave US alone and keep out of our sight.

The trouble with lot of folks right now
is that when Fortune comes knocking at their door
they are over at the neighbors telling hard
luck tale.

We can think of things that Minnesota could
dispense with to better advantage than its immi-
grafton bureau. Unfortunately the late legis-
lature doesn't seem to have agreed with us.

''Truth is such precious article, let us all
economic in it's use," wrote Mark Twain. We
are just passing that parting thought
without any personal significance whatever.

We have figured it out this way:-if one
wants to be continuously happy he must know
when to be blind when to be deaf and when to
be dumb. And 'when" means the most of the
time in all three cases.

"Townley insists he has struck dip
News Item.
1t has been several years since we heard of
Townley striking OLIVE imagine this second
gush will bring about as much profit and pleas

James Whitcomb Riley once wrote "The
coolest there is amt good the badest
little child" Guess that puts Pa in his place
and Ma lines up close beside him. Parents have
a right to expect much of their children-but
the thing works the other way around and more
so.

Mable Walker Millebrandt, Attorney Cen
erals Aid, says that the enforcement of prohibi-
ton is challenge to the United States. And
then she proceeds to make this forceful state
ment.
1--WE hear every side that prohibi-
ton can't succeed and that enforcement is
bringing graft, dishonesty and corruption
into governmental enterprises. The
late Theodore Roosevelt declared that the
real undermining feature of the govern
ment came through the lowering of stand
ards, the corruption brought into admin
strations and pointed to the saloon as the
heart of all these things. He said that
some day if the saloon, as the refuge of
the cheap politician could be torn away,
the public would become appalled, by what
it saw. / wonder if what we seeing to-
day is not Roosevelt's prophecy rather
than something being caused by prohibit
ton enforcement

In the Farm Journal we read "When some
one stops advertising, someone stops buying.
When someone stops buying, someone stops SELL
ing. When someone stops selling, someone
stops making, someone stops earning. When
someone stops earning, everybody stops buying"
All of this may be translated into the certainty
that there is no substitute for work. If you are
reasonably young and in reasonably good health
and don't work and earn, just what are you do
ing here?

Zone thing that cheers up CD the country
editor after he has boosted for the town and its
business institutions" says the Webster Enter
prise, calling attention to too common form
of ingratitude, "is to have business men place
their orders for commercial printing with some
city printing concern. These same men, if they
hear of somebody ordering a tin dipper or
uOZen cl0IneS pins from MONKEY ward or steers
& Wowbuck, will raise up on their hind legs and
make noise like defeated candidate for office"

The world today is looking for men who are
honest, sound from center to circumference, true
to the hearts core; men with consciences as
steady as the needle to the pole; men who will
stand for the right if the heavens totter and the
earth reels; men who can tell the truth and look
the world in the eye; men who neither brag nor
run, men who neither flag nor finch; men who
can have courage without shouting about it; men
in whom courage Of everlasting life runs still,
deep and strong; men who know their message
and tell it; men who know their place and fill it;
men who know their business and attend to it;
men who do not lie, shirk dodge; men who are
not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor;
men who are willing to eat what they have earn
ed and wear what they have paid for; men who
are not ashamed to say mo" with emphasis
and who are not ashamed to say Il can't af-
ford it"
