The Easy Job. , There stands within our"mldst today An evil which were well displaced, An object that obstructs the way . -Of honest toil. Thus the land lies waste For want of willing hands to toil, And gather tribute from the freighted soil. The man who, though he would scora - to rob His friends, Is looking for an easy job: With hands unused to work, he waits, As does the beggar at the city gates; He does not wish to bear the heat And burden of the day to earn bis bread But lingers, close beside the' scorner's . seat, And waits in expectancy and dread Lest work be offered hlm'that calls For toiling hands and sweating brow, Or if, perchance, upon his ear ther e falls - The cry: "An easy job Is oomin g now!" , X KAY. - rrTrrmrrinnnr Tnrrnmmrm IANOTHER STORE! .

Cut out the fizz and fuss and fill up on zeal and zest. Now tbe Bulgars don't seem to be able to out run the Turks. Sing a- son? of job hunters, a pocket full of petitions. : Everything points to a record crop of canned goods. V With Wilson the pen is might ier than the big stick. There will be revision down ward in tbe tarriff. -' Though the floods are receed ing the need of help is at high tide. ; Spring must surely be here. Railroads have begun to offer excursion rates. : The manivho pays as he goes may not go very far, but be al ways gets there. The base ball teams are mo bilizing. ' Congress is being made aware beforehand that this is not a waxworks administration. England seriously objects to Mr. Bryans aid in setting Old Ireland free. :';-:v Nothing sheepish in the way Underwood bandies tbe wool tariff.',' What is raoro to the point, British women do not seem to merely outnumber tbe men. ' Some Cubists ought to paint Hureta'sasa government sitting on a volcano. If tbe great powers wish to keep up with the times in diplo matic matters they must read the Commoner. We won't breathe easy until that flood has gone down the Mississippi and been swallowed ud in tbe Gulf. ' What an awful calamity it would be if the leading baseball players should contract news paper writer's cramp. . When the same individual is a baseball fan and fisherman be has a hard time not to neglect his business. Speaking of our boasted civil' ization, - tbe militia . has to be ordered out every time there is a disaster. Gen. Sung, of China was kill- ed . by .assassin who were really looking for Gen. Sing.- Chinese tenses are terribly fatal. ;v - Many of us are going ahead with spring gardening without waiting tor the legislature to accomplish something.

Though President Wilson threw a monkey wrench into the machinery of that six power Chinese loan, no right thinking person will accuse him of sobot-age. Now comes Tbete Sims, the Tennessee larm boy that sat on tbe soft side of a rail at 4 in the morning waiting for the sun. to rise, with complaints about tbe new house seats. A list has been compiled to to show that eleven famous ball players were born on the thir teenth of the month. The num. ber thirteen is no bar to great ness as a birthday date. Cyclones and such disasters make even the "cities in their pride" more thoughtful and kind, bringing close to yiew the great demncracy below tbe grass roots.--'' V;' Complaint is made that Pres. ident Wilson has injured . tbe "open door" policy for China, just as if that policy had come through the Taft administration with its pares intact. Vocational Education. The idea of Vocational Educa tion, is gaining in popularity in the south and it is a good indi cation. That is a boy or girl is educated along tbe lines they expect to follow in their life work, It a boy is to be a me chanic be is given special in struction along the lines of work he will undertake when grown. This training should begin in tbe public schools and taken along with the regular school wdrk. Of course it is impossible to give actual instruction in mechanical trades, farming etc. in all sciidois, out. me lexi books bearing on such subjects should be studied by tbe pupils and then when the school course is finished they are better pre pared to pursue their studies in the technical and demonstration schools of the country. There are many things about animals, grains, toresis ana . aomesuct science that can be taught in the regular public school course and it is gratifying that these matters are attracting more at tention all tbe time. The County School Commencements being held in various counties of tbe 6tate and the one to be held here on the 4th of April,' do much to stimulate this vocation- al educational idea ana tney should be encouraged.
