thank your. ;t
,How refreshing it la to hear that expression amidst
the daily grind that taxes the average mortal almost
to the limit of endurance, when some service has been
rendered, and regardless of whether it was a paid-for
job or one in which no remuneration aave "thank you"
was to be expected. Few people, unfortunately, truly
appreciate the potency of manifesting their gratitudu for
service rendered and praetko with any degree of regu
larity the nicety of alwaya saying thank you. Too many
of us go on th 'assumption that "we pay for what we
get," and let it go at that. v To be sure, we do not hesi
tate to register a "kick" when the service is not what
we think it ought' to be. Really, when one stops to think
what the result would be if only those things paid for
in actual cash or valuable consideration were done how
little really would be accomplished. The little things of
life, which stc done not for monetary consideration, but
because of a fellow feeling prompted to reciprocity by
some kindred service or manifestation of appreciation, go
very largely to make up life. ''
How much more willing the dumb animal serves his
kind master than when only a kick or abuse is in sight;
and how much more cheerful the delivery boy will be in
placing the gooJs to suit the buyer, when ho has heard
the forceful "thank you'.' a time or two; when the phone
rings rnd the t newspaper man answers and hears the
kindly ' word, "That was a n'ce notice you gave us;
thank you," spoken, how much more readily he embraces
the next opportunity to render a like service, and e- we
might go on into every line and every activity of life.
It Is just as easy to say "thank you," as it is to be on
the qui viva to find opportunity to make complaint, but
the tendency to do the latter seems somehow a little
more natural.
Try "thank you." Form the habit and profit by the
good results. ,

FARMER IN THE SADDLE.
Mount Olive Tribune: "Verily, the North Carolina
farmer it 'in clover,' as the laying goes, just at this
time. This fact was given special emphasis the past
week by Commissioner of Agriculture Graham, in his
report to the board, in annual session in Raleigh, in
which he declared that 1915 has been a red letter year
for North Carolina farmers. He said that while the yield
of some kinds of crops had not reached the proportions
of some former years, yet, as a whole, especially in food
;rops, the yield has been largely in excess of most for
mer years. Furthermore, he insisted that the farmers
art in better shape than they have ever been before in
he history of agriculture in this State." !
