FRIDAY, MARCH 21st, l?24 POLLYANNA. Howdy, We know a certain Farm vine guy who is so dumb he thinks water, moccasins are some kind of bathroom slippers. Honest men have the courage of their convictions; dishonest ones get theirs from the judge. The man who wrote 3,000 words on I a postal card ought to do wonders with a few acres of ground, says W. C. Hols ton. If you hear any unusual noises dur ing 1^24 maybe it will only be the girls "popping the question." Before we run out of "weeks" why not ha^e an "honest-week's work week?" says John Standi. When you pass a woman on the street and she draws in a breath and says?"and"?to her companion, you eaa just bet someone is catching it Correct this sentence: No matter if you are rich, said she, I wont mar ry you until you have some regular and useful job. Be knows the ins and outs of fig ures. Yah, he used to be a judge at the bathing reviews. From a summer underwear adver tisement: "We haws many customers whs will wear nothing else. Fezget the past The future will ahsays have enough worry in store for every one. She kissed him passionately upon - ? - ? ; - ? -* ^I Mr. Bodkin was severely wounded fa the bottling works. A friend In need is a look before m leap. Corredt this sentence: "My new maid is such a treasure, declared the wemen, she always sweeps under the edges of the rugs Fortune preverse and unreason able^ smiles on some men ard laughs at others ???????? You just can't kep a good man down, remarked the cannibal. s Ufa. Ufa is beautiful, sad it should be Bred fa beauty. It has, and must bare Ms shadows, to be sura but there la 4 beauty ,hi the shadow as well as tu the gUut mid tHaim of the sun. Inm Wtin is there are arrears that art good for us, because they dear our kMVta of sslWfawt end teach us to ?mpallilni with our fellow human be , fmtfte that was not ao before. - . . ... What fe A Farm Day? "The farmer must be able to earn a living by working mifinhle hours, like any other business man or wage earner/' essays a city editor in a recent enlightening edi torial . Enlightening, because it serves to shpw how durn much ignorance still persists in urban sanctums as to all things ~ ~ I rural The fanner will not soon, probably not ever, enjoy an eight, ten or twelve-hour day EVERY day of his year. On the average farm, worked by one family, and that farm will feed this country for the most part, the sixteen and eighteen and twenty-hour day for somebody on the - farm will be the rule at certain seasons. Until a federal injunction will restrain the storm clouds from giving the new mown hay a bath, and until-weeds quit growing when the clock strikes 5 P. M.f and until husky heads of the herd quit breaking pasture fences, and until horses quit going lame in the midst of plowing, and until blight, and drought, and mildew, and aphis, weevil, and grub, and bug, and worm, and mould, and rot declare for a six-hour day, the farmer will fight for the life of his crops. ? f The Department of Agriculture tells us the farmers' revenue has grown 1960,000,000 in a year and the money bags of the East shout from the housetops, "Look at that!" ' We have not yet been told how many millions of added expenditure has been piled on the baek of the man who tills the soil, I . | Where Wreckers Work J Let us hope that the movement to unify the divorce laws ef the United States, so that men and women may no longer be made criminals in one state while they may lead lives of complete laxity in another state, immune even, from the punishment of public censure, will find a responsive chord in the hearts of all Americans. The divorce evil does not start at the altar. It begins in the school. Too many of our children have only a bowing acquaintance with the ten commandments. Also, too many of our parents fail to disentangle the four factors that have formed the rock on which the American nation has been built?the school, the church, the home, and the govern ment. Each has its part to play. We must start by restoring these high moral standards that marked the pP^ims, who built this land of ours. We must bring back r sr appreciation of industry, respect, a deeper underst ef sanctity and a better understand ing of what the j, and what its preservation means to us. , Grave danger exists in the trend toward so-called for ward looking thought in relation to religion. Marriage has come to be an agreement, not a sacrament, and divorce, instead of being frowned upon, i3 made the subject of the vaudeville joke. Our fathers and mothers may well denounce thos.i who would undermine the stability of cur government, but let them remember there are more ways than one of wrecking a nation. -. x . . .. . _ :l .NO^lgE^j I?
