Boost and Pull Together
Maybe You're Right
Perhaps you are one of those
who is sick and tired of reading
about "Buy At Home," "Be
Loyal to Home Town Merch-
ants," etc. Being a fair-minded
individual, all I can say is,
"MAY0E you're right."
You may feel as the gentleman
who recently said to me, "Your
saying 'Try The Home Folks
First' may be all right, and I
don't say it isn't the proper thing;
bjt it does getf my goat to have
certain people in my town always
preaching 4 Uuy at Home' to me,
and then turn around'and do the
opposite themselves."
Sad but true, thai is often the
c.i.ce. Not long ago a prominent
merchant sat at his desk lambast-
ing the people of his community
for doing business with door-to
door solicitors, and buying in
other towns the things he had to
sell. He started to give me fi-
gues and what do you suppose
he wrote them on? Stationery
he had purchased through the
manufacturer of a product he
sold. Leal led his attention to it,
and he said, "I never thought
about that."
A tire dealer in this same town
said, "Business is bum because
everybody in this town has the
mail order bug." A half hour
later I saw a statement from this
tire store*bn the desk of a banker,
made out on a bill head printed
by a mail order concern. When
told of this, the tire man said,
"Well, I never looked at it that
way."
1 once heard a druggist give a
regular lecture on "buying at
home," and that same evening
saw conclusive evidence that
members of his own family did
just that whi^h- he was cussing
others for doing. He said in reply
to inquiry regarding it, "Well,
that,s a little different."
I heard a hardware dealer rave
recently because a dry goods
merchant's wife bought a cook
stove elsewhere; when I told him
that I happened to knew that his
wife would not buy a^ dress in
town for fear others would know
what she paid for it, he said,
"Well, that's our business."
Such cases as this do get a per-
son's goat and that is why I say,
"M^VYBE you're right,". But
don't let those few "goat-get-
ters" influence YOUR attitude.
Because a few people don't pac-
tice what they preach, don't cut
off your nose to spite your face
by saying, "Well, they do t su

"It seems as all were over now,-
Tht heavy limbs, the soulless
brow,—
Yet through these rigid limbs
once more
A noble life ere long shall pour.
These bones now dead, again
shall feel
New warmth and vigor through
them steal,
And reunited they shall soar
On high to live forevermore."

"Thus 1 Love You

Of all blessings that come from
above,
There is none greater than an in-
finite love.
< A love that grows for scores of
years.
And holds steadfast through
smiles and tears;
Through shadows and light,
through sunshine and rain,
Through the day and the night,
ever the same.
The love which the soul of man
warms,
And calls for a mate to bear to

A Noble Profession
With what a diversity of na-
tures and of impulses the school
teacher.deals in daily occupation
— the sad, the gay, the sunny,
the sullen, the brilliant, the lag-
gard, the good and the mis-
chievous.
With what affection and dear-
ness, .quite as though they had
been of a near kinship, even of
parental blood, are certain school
teachers remembered by many
of the older people. The writer
believes that we all especially re-
member perhaps just one or two
teachers who * were favorites.
Theirs was a spiritual parent-
hood, a warmth of kindness, a
simplicity of insight, which for-
ever endeared them to their pu-
pils of the classroom.
Too often the value of the
teachers services is not truly
appreciated. There isn't a green-
er garland anywhere than that
which'is brought to the memory
of a beloved school teacher.

vice For the Busy Town
