Oh, yes, there are days that come
to all of us when our responsibilities
apparently are too great, and : busi

to rock the boat. , Buck
up, do not
' worry,
We all ' meet adverse' and
gloomy
conditions! After . every
shower.: however, the sun shines.
The extremely heavy rains of the
early spring have brought about a
condition which is causing worry t
the farmers. The ground has become
raw-thoroughly-soaked in many sec
tions that working, it will be, im
possible for some time. Those who
have planted potatoes early, or other
crops expect a loss, and too" much
rain will result in damage .to fruit.
It is hot alone the farmer who should
worry, for after all is said and done
the people fa towrjf will feel ;the
loss, when shorter late crops place
high prices on food products. ,
One of the best spring medicines
ever devised is to take hold and 'dig
fa the garden, but it isn't exactly
papular, for it does not cost any-

party success, and all good Uemo

can do now to accomplish victory fa
Randolph county this fall. Nothing
succeeds like success, but success does
not come along under its own 'mo
mentum. Work is necessary under
any and all circumstances, and if loy
al Democrats will get busy early
there is no doubt that there will be
a Democratic majority rolled up in

time to start is now.
