As Others See It
Pot Likker
This is the season for indulging in
pot likker rather eating pot likker.
Hit and Miss has a few turnip
greens in his garden. He got the seed
from Uncle Tom Chambers who said
if they failed to come up, to return
them and the money paid for them
would be refunded. That was very
kind and considerate of Uncle Tom,
the man who can sell all kinds of
turnip seed out of the same sack—
purple top, ruttabaga, flat dutch nnd
all the others. But back to pot lik-
ker, which reminds Hit and Miss of
the days when he used to pick cot-
ton in October, pull up his cotton
sack in the shade of the wagon, sit
down on it and eat his dinner that
had been brought to the field steam-
ing hot from the kitchen.—Hit or
Miss in Kosse Cyclone.

Who Owes You a Living?
Millions of people are being edu-
cated in our country today to believe
that someone owes them a living.
The laws of nature do not seem to
recognize this doctrine.
Just go out into primitive country
and see who owes who a living—
you will soon find that your existence
depends on your ingenuity and initia-
tive.
Governments were organized to go
nature one better and make it a lit-
tle easier to live and to take care of
the helpless whom nature would oth-
erwise unceremoniously remove.
But today millions of perfectly
healthy, able-bodied people are being
taught to loaf at the expense of the
savings of others, instead of to rus-
tle for themselves.
Such a system can endure only so
long as there are stored-up savings
to confiscate, then the inexorable
laws of nature will prevail.
An epidemic of pests completely
devours a tree or a field of grain,
and then the pests die. Nature does
not owe them a living.
The same thing can happen to
governments and to the human be-
ings who make the government—if
they eat up their capital to main-
tain idleness, they will eventually
find that nature refuses to hear their
demands that “someone owes them a
living.”
This may not be a pleasant-sound,
ing philosophy, but it is a fact which
honey-coated, political cure-alls try
to hide.—Huntsville Item.

Officialdom not only tnkes all the
surplus of all Texas exports, after
defraying the cost of production, but
is running the state, the cities and
the districts heavily in debt. Unless
the cost of officialdom, shall be re-
duced to conform to all other con-
ditions the most sensible thing for
the toiler who owns a home to do is
to sell out at once for whatever he
can get nnd move to Brazil.—The
New Deal.

A Record That Shames Us
Last year, we are told, one person
was killed every fifteen minutes and
one injured every thirty seconds in
automobile uccidents. This frightful
record is nn indictment of us as a
people for every one knows that
much of this slaughter could be
stopped.
Now and then we arc shocked
by one of these tragedies, beenuse it
is peculiarly horrible or because
some unusually useful life is snuffed
out or because the victim happens to
be one who is dear to us. But our
indignation has not advanced to the
point of demanding that tho-e who
use the highways shall not abuse the
privilege that is allowed them.—
Southern Agriculturist.

When we hear or read the bleatings
of a city man about hi* yearning and
his appetite for turnip greens, we
! wonder if he isn’t just putting on a
show, or whether out somewhere at
1 the rear of his palatial home he has
an honest to —lodness turnip patch
This writer reared on turnip
greens, but It and cornbread,
