National Loan & Insurance Co. 24 Second St. Dial R-444-1 Conversation With A Kentucky Mule Originating in Kentucky and mak ing its appearance in a number of newspapers, the following article was received in this office last week. “Over the hills trailed a man behind t- mule drawing a plow. The clod hopper was ‘broadcasting.’ “Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man, made in the image of God, yet here we work, hitched together year in, year out. I often wonder if you work for me, or I work for you. Sometimes I think this is a partnership between a mule and a darn fool, for surely I do dou ble the work you do. Plowing here we cover the same distance, but you do it on four legs and I do it on two; so mathematically speaking, I do twice as much work per leg as you do. Soon we’ll be preparing for a corij crop. When the crop is harvested/I give one-third to the landlord fop'oe ing kind enough to let me use this corner of God’s creation; the other goes to you and what is left is my share. But while you consume your entire third except a few cobs, I di vide mine among seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. “Bill, you are getting the best of me. It ain’t fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to rob a man, the lord of creation, of his substanoe, and come to think of it you only help to cultivate the ground after I have to cut, shocks, and husk it, while you look over the pasture fence and hee haw at me. “All fall and part of the winter the whole family from granny on down to the baby pick cotton to raise mon ey to buy a new set of harness and pay the interest on the mortgage on you, and by the way what do you care about the mortgage? It don’t worry you any—not a darn bit. You leave that to me, you ungrateful, hardtail cuss. “About the only time I am your better is on election day, for I can vote and you can’t, but if I even get any more out of politics than you do. I don’t see where it is.” TWIN CITY HAPPENINGS Hugh Cobb of Guilford College has returned home for the summer. Grady Connor of Clayton, N. C., is visiting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Wyche.

I was very rest less, and could not sleep at night. My mother advised me to take Cardul, and I certainly am glad she did. It Is the first thing that seemed to give me any strength.
