I t MARCH 20, 1924 ' WALKING IN SNOW < By Clyde Wmebarger) . When two persons art walking in I t? deep snow one is most sure to be valki np in the other's loot prints;. It m easier because the way is broken, j in this term most till of us rae wlkinp in a deep snow. You may | ix* walkiup alone now but someone i It folIoLvit.o hKa I *?en. You art* breaking the way for *?me one, although you may not; now it. your words are being revpoken your actions are being imita ted. Which way are you going? There i arc only two ways. The right and! the wrong. If you are on the right, good. If you are on the wrong, how A?fui. I once heard a story of a father j?r:d .soon being walking over a rough And dangerous mountain where there as danger of failing off cliffs or between rocks. The son said, "Father, be careful where you step, 1 am stepping in your tracks." Just think A what would have happened had the father made a wrong step?possibly h* and his son would have met their deaths. A great many sons are like their fathers, however, we find that the father of the great robber and outlaw, Jesse James, was a minister.! He probably followed in the steps, of a friend or some bad fellow. Perhaps you can recall the time of bearing some child talk very unmannerly because it had heard some one . rfse talk so. Do you not think it ad- I visable for a law to be passed prohibit ing the use of had and indecent J words in the hearing of children? It j #nre!y would be just to all. It seems tbat such talk is gradually decreasing, but not fast enough. i have heard the expression, 'Think twice before speaking once.* Don't you think this would be a good habit , form? It would change unneces- j jsaiy words into useful ones. Suppose you are driving a car and aire passing something that attracts. Tour attention and r;ins?>v von turn your head to look. In the meantime | ^ jou tome to a curve having your head the kwrong way you go off the bank ; you may not be hurt seriously you ;n>ay be killed. From this viewpoint keep your head right and you will pot go wrong. NAMK RAN TO DOUBLES "Spell your name," said the court clerk sharply. The witness began: "O double T, J double N, E double?" "Wait," ordered the cierk, "begin again." The witness replied "O double T, ) denble U, K double I. double U?" *Your honor," roared the clerk "I beg that this mar. he committed for contempt of court." "What is your name," asked the judge. "Mv name, your honor, is Ottiwoll' Wood, and I spell it 0 double T. Ij ^ double IT. e double L, double U, double O, 1>.

Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man. Often the straggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down. How close he was to the golden crown Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are It may be near when it seems afar. f So stick to the fight when you arc hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. ?Searchlight That's the Answer of customers who have banked with ; us for years given to inquirers who ! purpose opening an account.
