Every one has heard someone at
some time or other complain about
the fact that she has spent so much
time preparing a dish and the diners
eat it in two minutes. But what
compliment that is. Suppose they
didn't eat it at all? Woe, woe, would
she have a good reason to cry then.
This woman should stop to realize
that all dishes, to be good, must have
a little time spent on them, either in
the actual preparation or in the
"dressing-up."
Some women have the happy habit
of keeping on hand some grand-lOOk-
ing, tasty tid-bit, for an afternoon
snack, midnight snack or if cooking
for some men, breakfast snack.
It's funny, but some men really do
like the dessert left over from the
night before for breakfast, if such be
the case in your home, here is just the
snack to have on hand.

Roses grow wild, but who buys
them? The roses which are in de-
mand are the result of long process
of cultivation.
The same is true of personality. 1t
is a matter of cultivation.
In each of us there still remain
traces of wildness such as impotence,
greed, anger, jealousy, fear and an
tagonisms. These are the things
which prevent the radiancy of per-
sonality.
If then, you wish your personality
to be radiant, you must work every
day toward the elimination from your
inner life of whatever marring ele-
ments you discover there.
To have an attractive garden, you
know that you must do more than
pillow and plant. You must also con-
stantly be pulling up the weeds that
keep springing up, no matter how
many times you have previously
WSSQCQ IL.
If you are willing to discover and
then eliminate from your daily
thought habits and from your habitual
emotional reactions all those things
which mar and darken personality, it
will not be long until even you your
self will notice a most welcome change
in your personality.
And now, in addition to this daily
practice of elimination, if you will be-
gin to build into your daily thinking
and into your daily conversation ex-
pressions of optimism, faith, conf
dence, peace and love, even others
will begin to notice your personality
taking on more glowing radiance.
No one can attain radiancy by
merely wishing for it. You must
work for it.
Determine today that you are 60

PUTNAM COUNTY
Cows Equal With
OutOs In Rights

Deciding the case of Albert Morris
against Walter Beisheim, Judge A.
A. Slaybaugh of Putnam county
common pleas court Tuesday ruled
that in most instances livestock be-
ing driven on or across public high
ways must be given the same con-
sideration as humans or vehicles.
Morris sought damages as result
of an accident on the Ridge road
near BeImore Nov. IL, 1941, at 6:40
a. m. which occurred when Morris
car figured in a collision with COW
owned by Beisheim. The defendant
filed a cross petition asking damage
for his COW.
Judge Slaybaugh dismissed both
the plaintiffs petition and the de-
fendant's cross petition on the ground
that this was "an unavoidable acci-
dent.
He declared in his decision that a
"person propelling an automobile
must consider the hazards attendant
upon approaching animals.

he is enjoying his duties as an Off

that mosquitoes on the tropical is
land where he is located are par

Masks cover the mouth and are
lifted to permit the entrance of each
mouthful of food. Masks must be
worn also when anyone walks in the

and tropical fruit are abundant.

ALLEN COUNTY
700 Pound Church
Bell Stolen

Allen county authorities Wednes-

church bell
The unwieldly piece of metal was
part of 1,120 pounds of junk taken
from the farm home of Giles How
ell of about six and half miles
east of Lima on Route 30-S.
According to Howell, a junk man
who represented himself as a junk
dealer came to his home when IA
year-old son was the only person
there. The junk man told the youth
he had come for some junk under
instructions of Howell.
Included in the junk which was
taken away was the bell which came
from a church which had been de-
molished.

Deficits Worry KentOn
Council

Reduced receipts from state taxes
and mounting expenses of local gov
ernment sent City Council of Kenton
into huddle to determine what ac-
ton must be taken to prevent
breakdown of municipal services.
Since Jan i the city has a deficit
of $4,000, exluding the bill for
street lighting, City Auditor Ralph
E Yauger said. Street lighting may
be paid by enacting extra two-mill
tax levy, but even then strictest
economies must be practiced, he
warned.
