The man who lends a hand t o
boost, never uses a fool to kick.
Too Much Speed
People quickeet to condemn
are generally the last f.p praise.
Patronage can't be substituted
for patriotism successfully.
Surprising how much you can
learn by listening'.
In union there is strength, but
it depends in some measure on
what is being united.
Try treating your neighbor like
a human being and Ik1 may decide
that you are one.
Among the dangerous crossings
to be avoided is crossing the
bridge before you come to it.
We know some old grouches
who are so hardened that even
laughing gas wouldn't force a
smile.
It takes all sorts of people to
make up a community, but we
can get along very well without
/!
)'i> scandal mongers.
Moderation in all things is a
good attribute, except when it
comes to loyalty for the home
town.
If everyone would boost for his
home community as strenuausly
as he does for some favorite or-
ganization he belongs to, what a
place we could make it.
Deaths due to organic diseases
of the heart increased during the
past year and now exceed those
due to any other cause.
It is becoming more apparent,
that there is too much speed in
life today. Men in the prime of
life suffer nervous breakdowns
just when they should be the
most proficient.
Competition in every line of
business activity is so highly de-
veloped that men have to draw
on all of their stored up nervous
energy to shoulder continually
mounting responsibilities.
Women in addition Iodischarg-
ing their duties at home. find so
many'demands upon their time
in meeting their social and civil
obligations, that they have little
time for relaxation arid rest.
The pace that the twentieth
century has set for us is so stcnli-
ons that it is little wonder !he
heart wears out and ceased to
function.
It. is about time we were calling
a halt on the modern tendency to
put full steam and leave none ;n
reserve for emergency use.
If we don't, the race will degen-
erate into a misfit people, broken
physically, and incapable of car-
rying on for the betterment of
future generations as it should.
Mr. Doheny, of Teapot Dome
oil inquiry fame, is reported to
have been "broke" at forty, but
is now the third richest American.
All of which leads us to believe
that even Rip Van Winkle might
have amounted to something if
he hadn't died yourig.
