THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 19:53 Because some people have a horse laugh doesn't necessarily mean they have horse sense. The brand of cane raised in Cuba last week can't be made into sugar. . What would gossipers do if they were al lowed to gossip for only 40 hours a week? We wonder if General Johnson will adopt a code under the NKA for knockers allowing them eight hours a day to find fault. The United States treasury claims that the average dollar bill wears out in nine months. We didn't know they were used that much. Cellophane manufacturers claim that their product will keep things fresh. We suggest that they get in touch with joke writers. All the letters in the alphabet except "J" are contained in the Ilible verse of Kzra 7:21. It might be well to read it and see if that's correct. He I ore the NKA. many a man has gotten out at night under the pretense of. having to work.. Now that his overtime is eliminated, this man can interpret. NKA to mean "No Kim ning Around." A fahion r.ntc from lb wood .av ail hats will be larger than 'berets and the kind that you can pull into the . hapo of your head." That means a lot of women will lace the winter minus headgear. Passing through Spenver the other night on the Southern we saw what looked like a large budding burning to the ground near the rail road tracks. . Upon investigating we found it was .discarded box cars ami cross tus that the Southern was disposing ol. There'll be many a poor family this winter that would like to have that wood. Recently two lawyers were discussing the intelligence of two well known criminals. The average criminal has more sense Mian he is usually given credit for, one said. This how ever doesn't olf.-et the story of the negro who was on trial charged with stealing chickens. After the judge had neard all the cvklonce, he told Uastus that he was acquitted. The old negro rolled his eyes around, and wit h fear and trembling said, ".ledge. does that -mean Use got to give dem chickens back?" CHINESE PROVERBS If one does not learn in youth, what will one do when old? Do not be ..afraid of going slowly, but of standing still. Regard righteousness as gain. Hurried men lack wisdom. If you do not scale the mountains you can not vie wthe plain. SMILING AT FAILURE . if you can get up every time you are knocked down, with more fight in you than when you went do.wn, there is no fear about your fu ture; but if you wilt down when you meet re buffs; if failures dishearten you; if you let go of your determination to win; if you don't fight harder than ever every time you strike a snag, you are not made of success material. The grit to. fail and start all over again; the grit to lose all and not to lose faith ; the grit to lose one's friends; the grit to endure when one is misunderstood, criticized and blamed, even by those nearest and dearest to him, that is the grit that moves the world. If you have that sort of grit, if you keep your temper and smile no matter what happens to you, you will win. Selected. " FALSE ECONOMY Did you ever stop to think that a the legal rate of speed in North Carolina oi' 45 miles per hour, you are traveling 66 feet per second; 50 miles an hour vou move 73 feet per second, 55 miles per hour puts you 80 feet per second, and 60 miles an hour you are going 88 feet per sec ond and so on with an increase in speed of 5 miles per hour will also increase the space trav eled abou g feet per second. Not only does the driver break the law and sometimes his neck, after passing 45, but he also uses a larger amount of oil, according to a well known oil company. Compared with oil consumption in a car running 30 miles per hour, tests show: at 40 miles per hour oil Is consumed twice as fast; at 50 miles per hour oil is con sumed four to live times as fast ; and at 60 mile.-; an hour oil is consumed nine to ten times as fast. The company did not give any more figures on the tests. We judge that they felt that after 60 miles an hour the only figuring necessary would be the undertaker's. ODD THINGS AND NEW-By Lame Bode THE PREACHER AND THE BEER Maybe it's old stuff, but there has just come to our attention the play-by-play account of the Rev. 15. F. Clark wrestling bout with the devil of 3 point 2. With your kind permission we shall condense and retell it. The Rev, Clark, so the story goos, not only was pastor of a Baptist chinch ia Thomasville but on weekdays the manager of a chain grocery store. Everything was moving along very nice ly until, one blustery day, beer became legal diet for North Carolinians and on top of that soon was stocked in the very store managed by the Rev. Clark. '"Mr, Clark looked at the beer and scratched his head." Thereupon the store manager notified his company he would not sell beer. Receiving no definite answer to this ultimatum, the manager resigned. He said that his influence in the church meant more to him than the dollars and cents he might gain by holding a position which required him to sell beer. That his decision was sound soon became manifest to him. "The following Sunday the Rev. Clark led 15 converts into the pool at Mills Home and baptized them into his church." But not only did the Rev. Clark find h Sunday work progressing apace. The matn sun soon was to shine upon him again ; the store put him back in and took out the beer, which maybe wasn't going over so big anyhow. Now (he Row.

Farmers plowing under ene-th''rd of their cotton crop have trouble in niaking the draught mule behave. .For years he has been taught with a rawhide or a barrel stave not to walk on top of the cotton row. Now hi- is being urged to do that very thing. He is punished for refusing to trample down the stalks which he has been taught to revere. In General Johnson's phrase, the mule is being socked on the nose for not doing what generations of mules have been socked for do, ing. The mule. so treated might almost turn reproachfully on his master .as one of his close kin i nee did to his master, Balaam, and say: "What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"

I'ica TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR GOOD HEALTH Here are, in brief, the ten golden rules of food and drink which have been drawn up by the food education society of London: 1. Eat in moderation only when hungry. 2. Do not eat and drink at the same time. 3. Take starchy foods in a crisp and com pact condition. 4. Make sure to have enough body-building and tissue-repairing material. 5. Remember fat makes for fitness, not for fatness..-. '6. Remember there is enough starch in normal foods without going out of one's way to make more. 7. Use little water in cooking. 8. Eat fresh rather than canned food. 9. Eat some uncooked vegetable or ripe fruit every day. 10. Eat each meal with some crust, rusk or, ripe fruit so as to leave the mouth clean. Selected.

North Carolina My dear Mr. Editor: As you know, I am" deeply interest ed in Waynesville, and all that con cerns its popularity and prosperity. Therefore it is natural that I should be pleased to see each Sunday in the Miami Herald quite a lot of spance de voted to advertising Waynesville and its attractions. Valuable as this advertising is, I think it wwuld be even more if a little more attention were devo ed to details and particularities conv.e.ning Waynesville. I think it is money well spent. .You may not see the full re sults this season, on account of tha World's Fair. Many people are not fortunate enough to afford a trip to the World's Fair and also sojourn in the mountains of North Carolina, but this advertising is seed well sown. and the town will ultimately reap a corresponding reward. I feel quite I certain, however, that despite the World's Fair, this advertising1 will ? o Vhat is -The Practice of Medicine (1) A Careful study of the Patient to determine the cause of that Patient's discomfort, whether mental or physical.
