Of Thoughts
From Here
There, Yonder
(B.v W. BRODIE J6NES)
We again call attention to the -opportunity
offered the school children
of Warren who are between the ages
of six and twelve, inclusive.
Bad health is like a missing auto
mobile it takes longer to get any
where and the satisfaction of the
journey is impaired. -
Good teeth are the foundation of
health the very carburetor of the
human machine.
The State , Board of Health in co
operation with the Board of Education
is offering free dental treatment to
the children of these ages. Not to ac
cept this is to let an opportunity slip;
Is to travel on with a defective body:
to head toward the human junk heap
of daily discontent. '
The healthy are the happy.
See that the children of your house
hold take advantage of their oppor
tunity.
Usually So
"Hoy many birds do you suppose
I killed on my hunting trip?"
"Oh, abut a fifth, I guess."
"A fifth of what?"
"A fifth of the number you are go
ing to sayyou got." Clipping.
A Precaution .
"Say, did you accuse me of steal
ing that half dollar you lost?"
"Oh, no. I only said that next time
I dropped any money I hoped you
wouldn't help me look for it." Se
lected. The Easier Way
"Dn't you think that a woman is
clever enough to do any'wbrk that a
man can do?
"Oh, yes, but a woman is a lot
cleverer than that. She lets some
man do it for her."
Clipping.
A Biblical Name 1
"Yes' sir, my children all have Bib
lical names," announced the talkative
old woman to the wayfarer who stop
ped to rest in the shade. "There's
Esther and David and Solomon, be
sides Pizlem Civ."
"Pizlem Civ?" quered the -visitor.
"That surely isn't in the Bible."
"Oh, yes, it is, and I can prove it
too." She disappeared into the house
for a few minutes and brought out a
well-worn Bible. Opening it she point
ed triumphantly to Psalm CIV.
"Most folks don't believe that name
is in the Book, but I can prove it."
- Country Gentlemen.
The Experimental Method
Into a cuntry school in Ohio there
recently came a mother and her son,
a pupil of the said school, who looked
rather the worse for wear.
"Why, what the matter with Louis?"
asked the teacher. "He looks reajly
ill."
"No, he ain't ill,, but he's mighty
sick from your fool teachin'," said the
woman pettishly. "You told him he
was to tell h w long it would take him
to eat twenty apples, -if it took him
one and a half minutes to eat one
spple an' he got stuck on the fif
teenth." Clipping. .
Awaiting Developments -
A western man was so unfortunate
recently as to lose a purse containing
a good-size sum. Some time after, to
astonishment, he received a letter
from the man who had found the
purse, with which letter was enclosed
small bill representing a portion of
the money lost. The letter ran as fol
lows: .
"Sir: I kept your money. Remorse
is gnawing at my conscience, so I
send some of it back. When it gnaws
again, I will send some more." The
, Country Gentleman." ',,
Rural Repartee
If Old Henry Barker was the most
inquisitive man in . the village, Bill
Williams was the surliest.
One afternoon, as Henry perambu
lated slowly along the one narrow
street, he paused at . Bill's garden
fence and gazed inquiringly . over at
Sill, who was busily engaged in nail-'
ng a very large box.
"Afternoon, Bill," said the old man
genially, "Whatever be you puttin'
in that big box?"
Bill paused in his hammering long
enough to retort curtly:
"All your questions; if it's big
enough."
Henry eyed him in painful silence
for a few moments. Then he took an
erpty match box from his pocket and
threw it over to Bill.
'That'll do for your civil answers, if
it's small enough," he retorted quietly.

Franklin D. .Roosevelt Chosen
As 'Running Mate By A
Unanimous Vote
OHIO GOVERNOR NAMED
ON FORTY FOURTH BALLOT
Has Carried Pivotical State Of
Ohio Three Times For Dem
crasy; Candidates Congratu
lated By President Wilson.
The Democracy of the 'Nation has
spoken. The battle of the ballots has
taken place and the. unterrified De
mocracy has brought forth a splendid
candidate for the Presidency, and an
excellent running mate for the vice
Presidency. James B. Cox and Franklin D.
Roosevelt will sweep the country.
Their records are such that they have
the confidence of the people, and the.
Platform of the democratic party
rings true to American ideals and
promises.
The achievements of the Party in
the last seven years entitle it to the
confidence of the American citizens,
and that confidence will be shown at
the Polls.
Governor James B. Cox was' nomi
nated after a prolonged and friendly
struggle between Palmer, McAdoo
and himself, and won only after 44 bal
lots had been taken.
There was no meeting in a hotel
room, as at Chicago, and putting out
a ticket by the big bosses. Democ
racy met and in truty democratic and
open manner nominated its candidate.
The President took no part in the
selection of the candidate and the Re
publican party was deeply disappoint
ed by reason of that fact. Republican
leaders thought that President' Wil
son would dictate," but again he fooled
them. . - "-. ' '
But the President is well pleased
and immediately wired to Governor
Cox "Please accept my hearty con
graulations and cordial best wishes."
McAdoo wired "Hearty congratu
lations and assurances of my cordial
support."
Ambassador John W. Davis, who
was a "dark horse" candidate, wired:
"My hearty congratula' ons upon
your nomination. You can and will
lead the party to a well deserved vic
tory." It was Cox who said at the Jackson
Day dinner "The boys did not go over
the top in France with reservations."
: James B. Cox has been elected three
times Governor of Ohio, was born on
a farm and is a newspaper man of
Dayton. He is a fearless, highiflind
ed democrat, aggressive and progres
sive. Secretary Baker says that, the
nomination will be received with joy
and pride by Ohioans.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
V Mr. Roosevelt is now assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, and a sterlings
democrat of New York. He is a
cousin of the late Theodore Roosevelt
and also married his niece, Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt "and has five chil
dren. The President wired his warm con
gratulations and good wishes.
Warrenton Loses On July 5th
The Warrenton team lost Monday
at Palmer Springs five to four before
r. crowd of neighboring people present
for the ball games and a basket pic
nic. The winning run' came in the
last half of the ninth' due to bunched
hitting Jby the Palmer Springs players
wno thruout the game were danger
ous with the willow. Lloyd and Moor
for Warrenton and Coleman and Has
kins for Palmer Springs were oppos
ing batteries.
A Gentle Hint
The young man had called regular
ly four times a week for two years,
but it seemed as though he would
never do more than just call.
"I was reading," he observed, "that
it is calculated that in a thousand
years Niagara Falls will be only a
rapids."
"Oh, Tom!" she exclaimed, and
tears of disappointment dimmed he
starry eyes. "I had so hoped to see
the wonderful xfalls . on our I mean
my wedding trip!"
"Eh, why, yes!" he said, and be
came very thoughtful. By eleyen-thirty-.they
had decided on the date
and the minister and everything.

14: II
WORK ESSENTIAL
LY A DUTY CALL
"Whatsoeve thy hands find "to do,
do it with all thy might," is the Divine
command to all. God's call to all men
is to work. The slothful man can
find no word of commendation or even
of palliation of" his sin of idleness in
all God's Book and in all His teach
ings to mankind.
Work out your salvation is an ad
monition as applicable in individual
life and in material things as in spir
itual. . -
It fits a nation's case as fully as It
does an individual's. The diligent
man shall stand erect in body and
soul before kings and the'great ones
of dearth, while the slothful man, the
slacker and the shirker of worker
shall be poor, and deservedly so.
God never blesses the idleness of
the idler. It would be contrary to
His nature to do so.
The man who does not work whole
heartedly, who does not work from a
sense df duty to the world as well as
to his individual family is making
himself a- drudge. He cannot know
the joy of living until he throws his
very life into his work. An old saw
maker in telling with great joy of a
prize-winning saw which he had made,
described the method of pressing" his
body against the material that made
possible the fashioning of the saw,
and said: "I pressed against it until
I could feel my very life going into
it." That is the spirit with which
every man, rich or poor, must work,
and without that spirit no man can
do h!s best and stand approved of his
own. conscience, ofhis fellow-man and
of the Great Judge before whom we
shall all eventually stand and be
"judged every man according to his
woiks." Manufacturers Record.

In a game much faster and more in

indicate Macon won over Palmer
Springs , Monday afternoon eight to
three. The inability of Jeffress and
later of Coleman to hold the Macon
sluggers was responsible for the vic

were made in one frame. A large
crowd was present and friendly rival

support of the crowd. Nanney and

HELPING THE FARM IIOMi:
(By Ef T. Meredith, Secretary
. Agriculture.)
of
- A J!l! ! ii
The Uunited States Department of
Agriculture and the State agricul
tural colleges made a farm home sur
vey, not for the sake of the survey
itself butas a preliminary to the cure
of some of the disorders exposed.
. For some time past statistics have
shown that an increasing number of
farm families are moving to town.
If those who left were surrounded by
conditions as unfavorable its some of
those brought out in the survey, their
exodus' is not. surprising. The whole
body social will suffer with the aban
donment of any considerable number
of farms. On the other hand, if con
ditions were 'as satisfactory on tha
whole, as the majority wrote, it is
doubtful whether in the end they will
find themselves happier or more pros
perous in town then they would have
been if they had stayed in the coun
try. Iri those localities where the con
ditions on the farms are such that the
occupants are dissatisfied, a remedy
must be found, for the farmer and his
family . are entitled to living condi
tions which are equal in comfort ana
healthfulness to those he would find in
a town or city.
The Department of Agriculture
means to bring to bear on this case
all the curative power it possesses.
It asks the sympathetic aid of an
those other agencies which can be of'
such great assistance the church,
the school, the community organiza
tion, and the press. Most important
of all is the help which the farm home
itself can give, for our efforts can ac
complish no great thing unless the
members of the farm families are
willing to co-operate.
HOME COUNTY STANDS
LOYALLY BY GARDNER
Shelby, July 5. Cleveland county
polled the largest Democratic vote in
its history last Saturday, and gave to
its candidate for governor, Hon. 0.
Max Gadner, 3,330 votes. In Mr.
Gardner's home box he received 1,339
votes to his ' opponent's 33. Every
Democrat in the county was out and
the handsome majority for Gardner
in his home county caused the lieut-
enant governor to remark that wnue
J he did not know the results of the
election, it was worth the race to re
veal the loyalty, confidence and de
votion of his friends; and neighbors.
