SOME PEOPLE ARE
LIKE GRASSHOPPERS.
Once upon a time in the day when
fairy tales were true, there lived a
lamily of grasshoppers and u family
of ants. Some authorities incline to
the belief that the grasshoppers were
uiidicted to the jazz dance and the fid-
dle, but one is at liberty to doubt this.
The giasshoppers were industrious.
They worked in the fields side by side
Willi the ants, and they wore good
clothes and chewed good tobacco.
In those days, us now, the first im-
pulse or instinct of mortal or insect
was to fill his stomach. If men could
eat without working few would work.
The grasshoppers worked diligently at
the task of gathering herbs and grain,
but as fast as they gathered they con-
sumed, so that the setting sun found
thorn none the richer save for a com-
lortable fullness about the middle.
The ants did not neglect the business
of eating. They fared well, but
petted their appetites, and when the
first frost of an early winter killed the
green things in the fields not one of
them had a square meal in reserve.
When the grasshoppers found the
rations were short they cast about to
find someone on whom to fix the blame.
As they stood in groups around the
dismal fields making talk concerning
the injustice of the general scheme of
things, one of their number, who en-
joyed making phrases, hopped on a
withered flower stem and unburdened
his mind:
“We would not be hungry,’’ he de-
clared, “if we had the courage to de-
mand our rights. There is enough
wealth in the world for everybody. All
that we ask is a fair division. We are
dead broke while the ants have their
barns tilled to overflowing. Is this
justice? Is this democracy? I tell
you, my downtrodden brethren, that
we ure victims of a greedy and hateful
system and shall miserubly perish un-
less we establish universal brother-
hood and divide this supply of food
accumulated by the ants.’’
1 realize that all this seems incredi-
ble, but I hasten to assure you that it
happened once upon a time in a day
when fairy tales were true and grass-
hoppers knew nothing of savings
banks and had no brains worth men
tioning.—Robert Quille in Saturday
Evening Post.
had a savings-bank habit and they did
not wear silk shirts while performing
tasks that suggested overalls.
Hie grasshoppers called the ants
tightwads. They did not use this ex-
pression in ths presence of the nts. It
is wail to ksep on good tarms with a
tightwad. Parc haute one may need to
borrow from him before the next pay
day arrivaa.

We had about one-third of our mem
bership, that is about thirty, last Sulfc
day morning. We had, however, a
they great many visitors and children who
were not counted. The members of
our church who road this who did not
come are hereby “fined” an hour's at-
tsndancs at church next Sunday morn.
It is a little saver# penalty, but

we want to put our foot down on this
non-attendance at church service.

Main Street Baptist Church.
The go-to-church day was a blessed
success with our church, as if also was
with the other churches. We had about
seventy-five per cent of the resident
members and many visitors present
and the Lord gave us a great service.
The verdict passed on the pastor was
that he is equal to the task. We will
have a general go-to-Sunday-School
day the fourth Sunday in October. We
hope to have a great day next Sunday.
The following subjects will be discuss-
ed: At 11 a. m., “Makng Hay While
the Sun Shines;’’ at 7:30 p. m., “The
jiible Doctrine of Eternal Punish-
ment.” A cordiul invitation is extend-
ed to all who will come and worship
with us.
W. E. WRIGHT, Pastor.
Methodist Notes.
Go-to-Chureh Sunday was a success.
Nearly two hundred members present,
and one hundred and sixty-three at
Sunday school. Themes for Sunday:
11 a. m., “Heaven and How to Get
There,” at 8 p. m., “Hell and Why Uo
There?” Sunday school will begin at
ten o’clock. We trust that you will be
in your place without fail. No excuses
accepted. Junior league will meet at
seven o’clock, % Miss Eva Buchanan,
president. We will gladly send a car
for anybody wanting to attend church
if you will phone the Methodist par-
sonage. If you do not come to church
it is your fault. Come.

NO REST—NO PBACE
There’s no peace and little lest for
the one who suffers from a bad back
and distressing urinary disorders.
Grand Saline people recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Be guided by
their experience.
Mrs. B. York, Grand Saline, says:
“Doan’s Kidney Pills have done me
a world of good. I had kidney com-
plaint and my back ached incessantly.
I couldn’t rest day or night. Morn-
ings I could hardly sweep the floor I
was so tired and worn out. Frequent
headaches made me miserable. The
action of my kidneys was irregular
and annoying. I read of Doan's Kid-
ney Pills and used them and they cured
me of the backache and other symp-
toms of kidney complaint.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pill*—the same that
