Ileal Hog Calling How marked is the difference be tween the hog calling in the country and that staged at a fair or show. To go into the country just before the sun fades, and to he far away from the hum of motors and hear a car rying sound from a mile or more away is a real treat. The call is answered when hundreds of the filthy animals rush to the feeding place. There they | act like hogs, and they don't even seem to care a rap if they are hogs. At the fair or show, the- calling is practically the same with the excep tion of the surroundings, but whav a ' || different response there is. The aver-1 age spectator looks upon the contest as a huge joke. How funny it Is to see and hear one calling hogs when there is none to call. While all the' time this same spectator is tramp ing up and down on his neighbor's ( toes; he generally stands with his hat ( on and with hs elbows cocked up; , you see him at practically every pub lic event. And though he fails to answer when he hears the breeder's call, he is a "hog"—just one of those kind thats fail to answer to his own Prices on all Grades Veiry Satisfa&ory For Past Few Days at the FARMERS WAREHOUSE * Not A Dissatisfied Customer , ♦ ———■ • ' Sales for Next Week- Mon 1, Tues. 2, Wed. 3, Thur. 1, Fri. 3 v' • ■ • . • • , * • • -— i — , ! i . «, • _ • w • .■-*' . Bennett, Barnhill and Morton Then, there are other places wher« "hog calling" would be appropriate. A few yells would not be out of place on a hard-surfaced road lead uig into the big cities. There are many businesses where a hog would rate as a gentleman beside the heads of the business. And the worst part of it all is when they sit and hear the call for the lowly hog—they feel justified in ignoring it themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haislip, of Hamilton, were in town yesterday.

Politics Losing Hold on People Will th«re be my change now that elections are over ? As far as the com mon mass is concerned, everything will remain the same, no doubt. Na- tional politics have, become of little consequence to the people generally in this part of the country. They look upon the happenings at the Nation's Capital as though they were those of a foreign country. Of course, the presidential election creates a great deal of interest, not that it matters much to the average voter but be cause it is considered an honor to "DOUBT" The highest order of "doubt" is when a nominee an office fears he will not be elected, even though there be no opponent. r * is - LOVE DEFINED Wonder if Byron ever thought of the following definition of love: "Love is 99 and 44-100 pure--pure folly, pure imagination; and, most of all, pure damn foolishness." TRUET "He who pins his faith to a woman sews in the briny deep, plows the vinds, and draws water with a sitter." Surely the author of that was badly off when he expressed himself in his writings. A Duty Our work in this com munity as funeral direc tor's we deem a duty commanding the closest attention and the most considerate observance, j And it is our earnestness to help lighten the hearts of those bereaved that is winning for us the highest recommen dation.

Competition is the life of trade, and it can be said to be the same in the fuse of politics. Where there is no opposition, it appears useless to work. Where there is no work, little can be expected, to it's wake up Republi cans or lie down Democrats. LINDSLEY ICE CO.
