BRIEFS
Swat the fly.
Good morning.
Drug store an assured thing.
Everybody talking “Building Asso
ciation.”
To keep up with the parade, you
must get in Vass’ band wagon.
A party was here last week looking
for a place in which to operate a
pressing plant.
Uncle Sam allows you $200 on each
child when you go to pay the income
tax, but he doesn’t tell you how you
can keep a child on $200.
Teachers in our schools still teach
that the world is round, when it’s just
about as flat on its back now as it
ever has been.
If you want to know whether it’s pos
sible to please evrybody in Vass ask
the first preacher you meet. And if
he doesn’t know come ask us.
Now that the government has rul
ed it lawful for a doctor to prescribe
beer we suppose the fellows who like
beer will be afraid there is some kind
of a catch in it.
Fishing for suckers is the simplest
thing in the world. Merely advertise
something for nothing and let nature
take its course.
And a lot of men act as though they
thought the goose that laid the gold
en egg was a gander.
If the country going “dry” didn’t
do anything else, it taught a lot of
fellows that they can’t sing when
they’re sober.
There is still one woman who can
make us love her whether she wears
short skirts or not and that’s the lady
on the American dollar.
There are two kinds of people—
those who wear comfortable shoes and
those who think they have pretty
feet.
Nothing upsets a man more than
to have to wheel his baby through a
crowd of women in which are two or
three he used to keep company with.
Are you enough to recall the time
when the worst that could be said
about an expensive 10-cent cigar was
that it burned like a “two-ffer?”
Personally, we are of the opinion
that we don’t think we would care
much to establish intimate pastoral
relations with a gun-toting parson. •
What we can never understand is
why a pretty girl dresses up in out
rageous clothes that take all the at
tention from herself.
As we understand Wayne B. Wheel
er’s position, all he demands is. the
right to veto the appointment of any
Prohibition Commissioner President
Harding may select who is not ac
ceptable to him. Still, we don’t won
der much. Modesty never has been
one of Wheeler’s besetting sisns. ‘
The ladies of the Methodist church
entertained the Sunday school chil
dren at an Easter egg hunt, Monday
afternoon. After having a good
time finding the many colored eggs,
candy eggs were served.
Did Debs, too, prevail upon gov
ernment officials that he had a pot of
gold hidden away somewhere?
We wish a lot of women who think
they can sing wouldn’t try to prove it
You can get a wife for $1.85 in
Turkey, they say. But why should a
man want a wife if he has $1.85?
An Illinois man recently lost a fine
Holstein heifer and offeered as a
reward for its return one good drink
of whiskey. The next day twelve heif
ers were brought in.
One of life’s inconsistencies—a
mouse is afraid of a man, a man is
afraid of a woman, and a woman is
afraid of a mouse.
Anne Rittenhouse says girls who are
to come out next season will wear
waists that are not pronouncedly de
collet. In other words, a girl mak
ing her debiit will not be coming out
of her clothes so far. Wait till the
Pilot man turns his head.
DANGEROUS
FIRES
The unusually dry spring has
made the risk from forest fires
greater this year than common,
and the fires have been abund
ant enough. At this time with
the trees beginning to open out
vegetation is more susceptible
to damage from fire than earlier
in the year, and more care is
needed in preventing fires from
getting out. In the last few
years forests have been thin
ning down very much through
Moore and Hoke counties. Lum
bermen and wood cutters have
taken a great deal of timber and
fires have damaged the small
stuff. The timber supply is get
ting less each year, while the
need for forest products is
greater. We are not going to
have another big lumber crop in
Moore county, but we ought to
guard the wood supply, and that
can be done only by encourag
ing the new growth of trees.
Fires are destructive of the lit
tle stuff that should be making
the wood crop of the days that
are ahead of us, and unless we
can prevent some of these fires
wood prices are going to be high
and wood hard to get.
Many of the first that get out
can be prevented. Too many of
them come from carelessness
and from matches thrown on the
ground, from hunters, from neg
lect where clearings are burned,
and from similar causes. Some
day when the country is more
thickly settled we will be free
from this one serious menace,
but until that time comes etern
al vigilance is necessary. This
spring the situation is worse
than common, and the danger is
not over yet for a month or
two.
