WHEN EVENING COMES

WHEN EVENING COMES
like to think, when evening comes,
And have knelt to pray,
That have done some bit of good
TO mark the passing day.
] like to think that have said
Some word Of hope or cheer,
That have eased somebody's pain
Or stilled somebody's fear.
That ! have given some wee gift,
A smile or just a flower,
To make the world gayer place
For just an hour.
But If feel that l have lived
In a forgetful, selfish way
] say to God at evening time,
I, Forgive me for a wasted day."

With millions CT our men in the
armed service and living their lives
daily according to military rule and
dictate it is hard for the average
mind to justify the strike of 10000
miners There is no justification for
strike Of workers in wartime. It is
treason just as much for a worker
to lay down on his job as it is for
Q soldier to lay down on his. Both
should be treated the same way.
Even if the grievance Of the miners
is just there should be no work
stoppage and there has been
work stoppage for three weeks. AS
this is written Mr.. Roosevelt has
given the workers 40 hours grace
to return to work saying they must
return or he will take the 'neces-
'sary steps to protect the nation
against serious injury to the war
effort"
Let US hope that Mr.. Roosevelt
will spare the feelings Of no group
in backing up his words with real
action becoming a Chief Executive
whose nation is imperiled.

ALLEN Jenkins, we'll known railroad
man of Durant, came into the News
office this week to pay his subscrip-
ton a year in advance and told us
this story:
An old Indian walked into news
paper office to pay his subscription.
After he had paid the editor he ask
ed for receipt While the editor
was making out the receipt he asked
the Indian why he wanted it. The
Indian replied:
me old Injun, soon me die and
60 to Heaven. St. Peter in Heaven
ask. you been good Injun? Me say
yes Then him say you pay editor
TOR newspaper? Me say yes. Him
say let me see receipt. Me no got
receipt Then me have to run all
over hell to find you and get re-
ceipt."
The moral of this story is that all
readers of the Durant News should
come in and pay their subscriptions
now while the editor is living and
can give them receipt. We hate
to think about our friends having
to run all over hell looking for us
when they are called to account for
their sins of omission some Heaven
ly day.
! Il costs q good deal of money to
print newspaper. Labor, paper,
ink, power, lights, all those things
that are called into play in publish
ing paper cost money and produc-
ton costs have gone up great deal
in the past year. Every time you
send in your 200 or bring it in for
your paper you help out. So if
your subscription isn't up to date
how about getting it that way as
soon as possible?
