The man who keeps a sagging

Are you reading "The Hoosier
Schoolmaster" aloud one night
each week':'
Sharp tools mean easy work.
Use the grindstone, the tile and
the forge when they arc needed.
Every farmer ought to have a
wheelbarrow. Why not begin
making one the next rainy day?
If .vuu did nul grow any corn
suitable for seed, maybe one of
your neighbors can furnish it to
you.
Better pay a few cents extra
per hundredweight for picking
than let cotton get damaged by

It's not safe to keep money

better do so at once.
if you have rocks on your

A TH0U6HT FOR THE WEEK
A word as to the duty of those
who will not be sent to face the
cannon and rifles of the battle
Held. Every person should pro-
duce what he can. A starving
world appeals to us for food.
Hunger stalks abroad today over
many countries in Europe. It
may come here. He who feeds a
soldier helps to win the war.
Extravagance should be avoided
and economy practiced. No
waste should be permitted. We
must win or ruin awaits us.
Every man whose avarice com-
mands him to make commercial
warfare on those who are to go
to the front, or on the families
and dependents they may have,
should have the eyes of censure
riveted upon him. We should
live or die together. Cries of
greed should be silenced. The
tongue ot the agitator should he
still.—Judge W. M. Bond.
