No. /.
GWINNIP CORNERS, Mass.-This Government
has survived more than $50 years without revolution.
What Is to be is to be. 1t is never too late to mend.
In August alone our exports Of nails alone fell off
345, 67s tons. Where there is smoke there Is apt to
be fire. 1t is a well-known fact that no nation can
solvent II it spends more money than it takes
in. Into each life some rain must fall. Our fore
fathers were a hardy people whose wants were simple.
The Mississippi River is the largest stream In the
United States. We are a free people and accustomed
to an unrestricted press. You cannot eat your cake
and have it, too. We need only to read Of the revo-
buttons down there to realize that all is not well in
South America. You cannot get blood out Of a stone.
No. 2.
GWINNI CORNERS, Mass.-Yesterday a man
stopped me OH the street to talk about adequate help
for the farmer. He was within his rights. This IS
a democratic country. A boys best friend is his
mother. The census taking within the last year
shows that there is an unmistakable drift OF people
from the country to the cities. When the pioneers
wanted something to eat they had to 60 out with a
gun and shoot it. There were no chain grocery
stores in the time Of the Pilgrim Fathers. we might
well profit from that reflection. You can't make a
silk purse out Of a sow's ear. The Battle Of Gettys-
burg was fought in and around Gettysburg. A silk
worm lives only fourteen days. What IS to be is TO
be. Let the American people take heart.
GWINNIP CORNERS Mass.-America has had a
democratic form OF government ever since it threw off
the yolk Of King George. The builders of the West
crossed the country in covered wagons. 1t never did
anybody any good to complain about the weather.
You can catch more flies with molasses than with
riprrar We ARC nnSSino through n npriOJ Nf fl
nancial depression. but the country will recover. You
can't drive a camel through the eye OF a needle. Take
care Of the pennies and the dollars will take care OF
themselves. There was 256. 9.345 automobile acct
dents east Of the Rocky Mountains in 1926. The
trouble with some people is that they lock the barn
door after the mare Is stolen. The death Of General
Custer occurred at Clusters last fight. This can never
happen again. The man worth while Is the man
who can smile. Great riches do not always bring
happiness. The day will come when ~airplanes will be
as common as motor cars are today. Let Us do what
We can to perpetuate the American fireside.
GwINNIP RNE Mass-This Is the time Of
year when the people Of this country suffer greatly
from hay fever. A thing like that often causes dis
comfort. It costs nothing to boil milk and saves the
lives Of a million babies every year in this country.
Necessity is the mother Of invention. Albany IS the
capital Of New York. Had II not been Tor Ell WHIT
ney and his cotton gin the Negroes Of the South
would still be picking cotton by hand. We are in a
machine age. Only game fish swim upstream. When
Columbus first proposed that Isabella finance his
search for a new continent Isabella was indifferent.
Life is like that. The Indians found they could ignite
a fire by rubbing two sticks together. "A bulldog never
knows when il is licked. In time to come our child
rem will benefit.

The taxicab swung wildly around the corner and
smashed into another cab driven almost as reck-
lessly through the cross street. Say" said the traffic
