GET UP EARLY OCCASIONALLY
If the sun rose only once a yea:
in Farmville its colorful arriva
would be greeted with brass bands
and a civic outpouring of delightec
inhabitants.
Lf our sleepy citizens would wake
up early enough on just one morn
ing, they would secure the same
thrill of enjoyment as the earth
turns to greet its source of light.
If you think this is applesauce
get out of bed tomorow when the
whistles blow, watch the stars fade
and the eastern horizon come to life
tinted with the hues that defy brush
of artist and all words of descrip
tion. You will be amply repaid foi
your trouble.
PROSPERITY. GOD ? AND
MR. BABSON.
"We are standing on the thresh
old of prosperity for the first time
in seven years," says the honorable
Roger W. Babson, business priest
and student of economic statistics.
Reading on we learn that ''the im
mediate outlook is the brightest ir
years, barring those sections suffer
ing from crop disaster" and that the
nation "from March. 1933, to date
has covered 90 per cent of the dis
tance between the pit of the depres
sion and normal."
In fact, July opened with business
activity just five per cent under nor
mal, according to the Massachusetts
prognosticator, who declares thai
"every outstanding trade and indus
trial barometer is forecasting fur
ther gains in business this fall."
So much for the prospect of pros
perity. Let us call your attentior
again to what Mr. Babson says
about the duration of our good for
tune, which "we may enjoy a few
years." Why a few years? Be
cause, in his words, "prosperity nev
er lasts until it goes hand in hand
with righteousness." Moreover, per
manent prosperity cannot be built
on liquor, gamblfng and a disregard
of God."

derwrite Mr. Babson's dope on bus
iness but he is planting his feet or
?olid stuff when he puts them or
the rock of righteousness. Big bus
iness and little buiness men, whc
think of nothing but profit do more
harm to the nation's welfare than all
the political theorists that blight
land.
Getting down to brass tacks the
lesson for the average man and wo
man is to realize that an economy
built on righteousness has no place
in it for individuals who want to ac
quire fortunes through rackets,
schemes and routes that do not give
value for the money received. The
man or woman, big or little in the
eyes of any community, who tries
to get money without earning it. is
a positive enemy to the betterment
of the nation.

Rushing work to get a vacation
and rushing it when you get home
to make up for lost time is one rea
son why vacations do some people
very little good.
For Bad Feeling
Due to Constipation
Get rid of constipation by taking
Black-Draugnt as soon as you notice
that bowel activity has slowed up or
you begin to feel sluggish. Thou
sands prefer Black-Draught for the
refreshing relief It has brought them.
Mrs. Ray Mulllns, of Lafe, Ark,
writes: "My husband and I both take
Thedford's Black-Draught and find
It splendid for constipation, bilious
ness, the disagreeable, aching,
tired feeling that comes from this
condition." With reference to Syrup
of Black-Draught, which this mother
gives her children, she says: "They
like the taste and it gave such good
results."
