Who Owes Who a Living?
Millions of people are being educat-
ed in our country today to believe
that someone owes them a living. This
doctrine is not recognized by the laws
of nature.
Go to some primitive country and
see who owes who living. You'll soon
find that your existence depends upon
your ingenuity and initiative.
Governments We're organized to go
nature one better and make it little
easier to live and take care of the
helpless whom nature would other
wise unceremoniously remove.
But today millions of perfectly heal
thy, able-bodied people are being
taught to loaf at the expense of the
savings of others, instead of to rustic
for themselves.
That can last only so Tong as there
are stored-up savings to confscate,
then the laws of nature will prevail.
An epidemic of pests completely de-
YOURS a tree or field of grain, and
then the pests die. Nature does not
owe them living.
The same thing can happen to gov
ernments and to humSn beings who
make the governments.
According to Pittsburgh paper, the
fascinating game of bingo seems cat
alogued by the police as unlawful
1t started as social pastime and
turned into a Furnishing racket. They
even served notice on ladies' auxili-
aries to lay off. Investigating at one
time there it was found that 80 per
cent of the players who frequented a
bingo hall were actually on relief.
1t will be sad day when the police
get to enforcing such law over here.
Somebody will have to think up some
thing new for all the benefits with
which Oakland is at times overrun
when they won't allow bingo any
more.
1t always burns me up to hear of a
person who has been ruared in Oak
land to claim some other place as the
hometown. Somebody will go away
to school. He claims Cumberland.
Somebody else will be visiting. Since
they think nobody ever heard of Oak
land, they claim larger place. Some
times it even gets in the newspapers
and thus back to the home town, which
only shows people up for what they
are.
Anyone who truly amounts to some
thing is never ashamed of his birth
place or his home town.
Two veteran hunters, P. T. Lips
comb, Loeb Lynn, and Harry Mickey,
| also of Loeb Lynn, are contemplating
having their eyes examined by a spec
ialist. They can't claim that the bar
rels of their guns are crooked, be-
cause they never saw anything to
shoot. But along on the hunt for SOUR
rels Tuesday was Russell Brown, of
Oakland and Mountain Lake Park.
Now, if he's veteran hunter, then I'm
Arthur Brisbane.
But Russell came home with six
squirrels. Mickey and Lipscomb car
ried nothing home but their guns and
empty hunting bags.
Mickey could have exhibited dead
one that he shot at. He saw squirrel
peering at him from the fork of a limb.
He blazed away. The squirrel still
peered at him. He advanced cautiously
upon his prey and still the squirrel
peered. When he got to the tree he
found that some other hunter had been
there before him. The squirrel, in
falling, had lodged in the fork, his
head ard ears held high enough so
that he looked like good prospect.
With more than 1000 persons hav-
ing obtained licenses to hunt, it's
! doubtful if many squirrels survive.
