DO IT WITH SONa
Somehow the task seems lighter
When we do it with a song;
It stills the heart's complaining
And keeps the courage strong.
No lot seems so grievous.
Nor filled with cares the day,
When love takes up the burden
Tnd sings along the way.
Somehow, though skies are gloomy,'
Or roads are rough and long,
He will not lack for comrades
Who travels with & song.

WHAT GOD HATH PROMI8ED
God hath not promised
8kies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways
AH our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God bath promised,
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above.
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

LITTLE THINGS
Despise not' little things. Life Is
made up of them. Moments are the
golden sands of time. The nerve of a
tooth, not so large as the finest cambric
needle, wtill sometimes drive a
strong man to distraction.' A mosquito
can make an elephant absolutely
mad.
Little acts are the elements of
true greatness. They are the teats of
character and disinterestedness. It
matters not so much where you are
as what you are. Human knowledge
is but an accumulation of small facts
inn siunnesi lean, uvenuuKeu, may
sink a ship ? the smallest tendency
to evil thinking or doing, left unguarded,
may wreck character and
life. v
If you cannot be a great river,
bearing great vessels of blessings
to the world, you can be a little
spring by the wayside of life, singing
merrily all the time, and giving
up a cup of water to every weary,
thirsty one "who passes by.?J. A. R.

A TIMELY MOVE
Beaufort is launching a movement
to interest people in paying their
debts- In other words, the merchants
wish to make their customers
"nav conscious "
These campaigns should be made
annual affairs for there Is nothing
deserving of more attention reconsideration
than this one thing. Thei-e
are scores of merchants suffering ft
oatvclally because people they let
have their goods on credit refuse to
pay.
This is a condition that must be
f remedied before the business element
can go forward as It should.
Merchants must have money tor
their goods to pay the people they
buy from. If they don't It isn't Ion?
before they find the sheriff at their
doors, clamoring for final settlement.
Any elty wouldn't find it a bad
Idea to do as Beaufort is doing. A
man should be ashamed to provide
himself of all kinds of luxuries while
letting his grocery bill lag from
month to monthy. without settlement.
it just, isn't right. It Is much
better to have a clean account list

say, "There he is riding around in a
big automobile When he owes So-anfl

The Words
of Washinglon
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
Sentinels of the Republic ??
Again, as for many years, America
Douses amid its various DreoccuD&tlons
to observe with reverend honor the
birthday of George Washington.
How can a nation best honor the
memory of the man It acknowledges
as Founder and Father?
Obviously, by heeding his words of
guidance and inspiration. And in the
case of Its great National Hero, America
Is fortunate In having a clear and
written record of those words preserved
in the famous Farewell Address.
Here are some extracts from that address,
particularly applicable at a period
when the principle of balanced constitutional'
powers, on which our government
was founded, Is under frequent
threat
They read:
Tt is Important . . . that the habits
of thinking In a free country should
inspire caution In those entrusted with
Its administration to oonflne themselves
within their respective Constitutional
spheres; avoiding, in the exercise of
the powers of one department, to encroach
upon another.
"The spirit of encroachment tends te
consolidate the powers of all the departments
hi one, and thus te create,
whatever the form of government, a
real despotism.
"The necessity of reciprocal checks
In the exercise of political power by
dividing and distributing it Into different
depositories, and constituting each
the Guardian of the Public Weal
against invasions by the others, has
been evinced by experiments ancient
and modem. To pteeeire them must
be as necessary as to Institute them.
"If fas the opinion of the Feeple. the
sUtutlonal powers be in any particular
wrong, let H be corrected by an aasendment
In the way which the Constitution
designates.
"Bat let there be no change by nsurpatien;
for though this, In one instance,
may be the Instrument ef good, it Is
the customary weapon by which free
governments are destroyed."
Those are the words of Washington,
addressed to the nation and the people
he loved. They remain a clear admonition
to statesmen and the public today.
They are the final official counsel of the
patriot, soldier and statesman of whom
It was written:
"Armies won battles when he spoke.
And out of Chaos sprang the state."
If the great state George Washington
created Is to continue Its progress
and its benefits to all the people, those
words must be remembered.
In this way can America pay Its
: highest tribute to our First National
J Hero.
! toll The allRU'er i? clmnla * onauwh
l"ir$t cn the list comes unremitting
public education ? by schools, by
Civic groups, by goversmeutal bureaus.
Second, honest law enforcement
under modern highway codes?
I and that means that every ..apprehended
violator of the statutes must
be punished quickly and rairly, that
"pull" and ticket fixing must be elim
inated. Third, improvement and better
lighting of streets and roads, and
el'irrtlnation of "accident prone" locations.
are presenters of death.
This doesn't exhaust the list by
any means ? but these "musts" are
vital to any workable accident prevention
endeavor. The 20 states that
cut deaths last year are to be congratulated.
I<ot them repeat t.his
I year ? and let the other 28 states
follow suit. It can be done.
THINGS ONE REMEMBERS
(By R. M. Hofer)
I was recently talking to an outstanding

I Francisco. For 54 years he has been
j with this bank which has guarded
. the savings of its depositors since
11852. He has pounded home to the
j younger o cers in the bank the fact
that there is no substitute for Integrity.
individual Initiative and private
enterprise.
in discussing the merits of Utopian
plans tbat are today peddled to
the people as substitutes for thrltt
and industry, he said: "When a man
wants to borrow money at this bank
to save his business from difificultles
we git down and dicuss the plan ho
has In mind from every angle. It it
will work, we okeh his proposition.
It it Is unsound, we try to show him
1 where it ig better to take a present
, ticking than future destruction."
Governfnont is so different than a
bank. It can make more mistakes
and survive because it lias the credit
of every citizen to fall back on;
but sconcr or later unsound prac' 'ccs
in the strongest bank, or the
strongest government, can mean only
destruction. It's htgh time that we
began to apply Mr. Upman's rule for
credit ? "Will your program work?'
to every political experiment that ia
absorbing the people's money today.

"I have been instrumental in

I shall never make. A change In
the principles that guide me.
There was an Interruption In the
7 hallway. "I know he's busy righting
wrongs, and here's another one for
him." Both Burdon and the provost
recognised Mrs. Hegarty's voice Instantly.
Vlccy was trying to reason
"It's a'matter of life and death,"
Mrs. Hegarty walled. The provost
signalled lor Burdon to wait for
him, hurried out into the hall.
"How dare you burst in here?"
he roared. "I warned you at the
Town Hall and nowyou come bursting
into my home. The case of your
dog is finished once and for all."
Mrs. Hegarty fell to wailing. "Oh,
now it's all over and they're going
to kill him."
"Rubbish," Vlocy objected.
"Who's going to kill him?"
"The Borough and the police and
the provost."
"Father," Viccy demanded in surprise.
"Is it true what Mrs. Hegarty
says about her dog?"
The provost seemed embarrassed.
"She's been warned tlmo and time
again about her dog. She's persistently
defied the law. The court
t>assed Judgment. You know, the
own is full of dirty little mongrels."
"But how much does she owe?"
Vlccy demanded.
"Five pounds and the tax."
, "But surely someone could pay It
dor her."
"Oh, no!" the provost Interrupted.
It's a matter of principle." He turned
away to return to the room from
which Burdon was Interestedly
watching the commotion. "Put her
out, Vlccy," he ordered.
Hardly had the provost resumed
the interview when Mrs. Hegarty'a
walls rose louder than ever. "Blooming
Irish tinkers!" he shouted and
rushed out of the room again. There
was a thud, a muffled scream, and

she should hate him, but she
couldn't.
Then he blurted the story out.
How he had lived at the foot of the

had been knocked down for Interceding

had sworn to strike back at cruelty

"And you've done that?" Vlcoy
asked.
"Yes," he replied. Their eyes metj
