V. RECTOR,

The man who sticks ha3 his lesson Uarned
Success doesn't come by chance it's earned
By pounding away; for good hard knocks
Will make stepping stones of stumbling blocks.
He knows in his heart that he cannot fail;
That no ill fortune can make him quail
While his, will is strong and his courage high,
For he's always good for another try.
He doesn't expect by a single stride
To jump to the front; he is satisfied
To do ev'ry day his level best,
And let the future take care of the rest.
" He doesn't believe, he's held down by the boss
It's work, and not fitor, that "gets across." '
So his motto is this; Wha.t another man
Has been able to handle, I surely can.''
For the man who sticks has the sense to see
He can make l.imself what he wants to be,
If he'll oft with his coat and pitch right in
Why, the man who sticks can't help but win!
. (CHAS. R. BARRETT)
THE MAN WHO QUITS
The man who quits has a brain and hand
As good as the next; but lacks the sand
That would make him stick, wiht a courage stout,
To whatever h tackles, and fight it out.
He starts with a rush, and a solemn vow
That he'll soon be showing the ethers how:
Then something new striks his roving eye,
And his task is left for the bye and bye. .
It's up to each man what becomes of him ;
He muSt find in. hiinslf j,he grit jtnd ' Vim w , .l-V-
That brings success; he" can get thi Willi"
If he brings to the task a steadfast will.
No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin;
The man who fails needs a better excuse
Than the quiter's whining "What's the use?"
For the man who quits lets his chances slip,
Just because he's too lazy to keep his grip.
The man who sticks goes ahead with a shout,
While the man who quits joins the "down and out."
(CHS. R. BARRETT.)
"STAR BRAND SHOES ARE BETTER."
This is Good Suggestion For
Your Farmers.
"Conceited."
To the Farmers:
All indications point to GRAIN
AS THE MONEY CROP for the
farmer during the coming year.
In view of the conditions
brought about by the great Euro
pean War there will natui'ally
arise an INCREASING DE
MAND FOR WHEAT AND
CORN. The Price has already
advanced considerably and shows
every indication of further in
crease.
This condition presents a
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY
for our farmers to PROFIT large
ly through PLANTING MORE
WHEAT THIS FALL and
MORE CORN NEXT SPRING.
Manv ofthe European wheat
fields will be idle next year,, be
cause the men are at the front
fiirhtinflr.
The Asheville Board of lracie,
therefore, ursres every farmer in
BUNCOMBE COUNTY AND
WESTERN NORTH CAKO
UNA to nrofit by present condi
tions by PLANTING MUKoi
WHEAT, MORE CORN, assu
OTHER GRAINS. . .
Ariricultural experts-are agreed
that land plowed during winter
months eive greater yield than
with nnrinir olowine. Also that
subsoiling is very valuable as a
crop increaser.
Yours Very truly,
Asheville Board of Trade,
Aericutural Department,
J. A. Nichols, Chairman
. N. Buckner, Secretary.
The immortal Gray may have
been right in his assertion that
"many a flower Is born to blush
unseen, and waste its sweetness
on the desert air." but I haven't
noticed any human' flower blush
ing unseen or wasting ipeir
sweetness on air of any kind. If
there fire any timid, shrinking
violets in this world they have
escaped my observation andclud
ed my search.
The people I have met are al
r.rettv chestv. They believe in
nersonal advertising. They al
have good opinions of themselves
and they don't give a whoop who
knows it.
The men brag and the women
show off. The men talk much
and the women strut with their
chins in the air. '
Don't say this fits somebody
else. You're one of" them.
What I You are not proud ?
Oh yes; you are.
If vbu have a boil on your
neck you are proud of it.
You describe the beginning
and Di-oeress of that boil with
infinite detail to everyone who
will listen. You boast of the
pain it causes. You endeavor to
give the impression that your
boil is the only and original oia
He boil, and that none otQer
since the time of . Adam has hurt
so badly or swelled so large. '
If you are a -woman you brag
unceasinely about your bead-
aches, of the pain in your side, or
vnnr back and these pains are
always worse than ; toy other
woman's pdas, and far, far more
than any mere man could bear.
If you have been operated on
appendix taken out, for Instance
you are all swelled up with con
ceit. You can hardly bring
yourself to associate with ordi
nary folk who have not been cut
into.
If a member of' your family is
sick you make the case seem
about four times as serious as it
really is, when talking to friends
about it. You exaggerate in or-
der to Impress, and your conceit
feeds on the momentary publicity
the incident affords you.
If you have a child your pride
blinds your eyes to its faults,
and you weary an already nerve
shattered world with tales of the
youngster's smartness.
If you have a boy in college
you think, and endeavor to make
the world think, that he is the
3martestin his class. .
If your daughter has a beau,
you tell the neighbors how rich.
how clever, how industrious be
is. and relate how many girls he
set aside in order to choose yours. -And
when the girl finally man-'
ages to hood-wink some unsus
pecting, half witted wart who
clerks in a livery stable, you an
nounce to an anxious public that
she has been given in marriage
to an enterprising and successful
young business man who holds a
ucrative position with a big or
ganization. - -
Conceit " Is i a common .. vice.
The' ijjEty-even varieties of
pride. - I '
People who have .money grow
chesty over it. People who
baven't money wear ragged un
derclothes and swell outside
clothes, and are just as proud.
People who have been to col
ece are conceited about it. Peo
ple who haven't been to college
are proud of their "horse sense."
Bier, heavy men borst of their
muscle; puny little cusses declare
that nature exhausted all her en -y
ergy in building their brain and
didn't'-have much left over for
muscle, i
We all despise conceited peo
ple, and feel vastly superior to
them because we are big enough
to overcome such a vice. An
by despising the others and felici
tating ourselves we qualify as
the same kind of asses we have
been wont to condemn.
There's only one kinc of man
who is entirely free from conceit. :
He is the man who, says he isn t
conceited he is a liar. .
And this goes - double for
women, bless their dear hearts."

Stop that First Fall Cough.
Check your fall cough or cold at
once don't wait it may lead to se
rlus lung trouble, weaken your vital
ity and develop a chronic lung trou
ble. Get a bottle of Dr. Bell's Plne-Tar-Honey
to day: it is pure and harm
less-use it freely for that fall cough
or cold. If Baby or children are sick
give it to them, it will relieve quick
ly and permanently. It soothes the
irritated throat, lungs and air passa;
ges. Loosens phlegm, is antiseptic
and fortifies the system against, colds.
It surely prevents cold germs from
getting a 'hold. .'Guaranteed. Only
