Some of us grumble the whole da> , long, But, somehow, in spite,of the- care and doubt, It seems at last that things work out. Because we lose where we Hoped to gain, Because we suffer a little pain. Because we must work when we'd like to play Some of us whimper along life's way But, somehow, as day will , follow the night. Most of our troubles work nut all right.* Because We cannot forever smile. Because we must trudge in the dust awhile.

NOW IS THE TIME Friends, now is the time to do some real thinking aiboue what should be required of candidates to various ofTlces in the counfy and state. Candidates have filed. You know who they are. * Now it is the time to find what these candidates stand for before the date of the primary in May. Eut it ikn't enough to find what the candidates stand for. one should consider the ability of the candidate to accomplish what he has announced he stands for. That is to say, a candidate may hav& a platform in which - you believe 100 percent, and yea, that candidate may not be able if elected to carry out his platform. In fact, that is one of the big troubles about can didates and their platforms. A man may be a good man and may have a good platform, but If he lacks the ability or the connections to carry out that platform It is a rather useless sort of thing. * . Let's see to it that we elect to office men who are both good and able, so that we can expect from the honest, effedtlve .service when they take the oath of office. We might put some emphasis on that word GOOD MAN, too; for it is altogether possible for a man to ^iave a good platform designed to get votes, but the man may not be the kind of fellow who will work to the interest of all the citizens once he is in office. The man who promises much as a matter of politics to get votes, know ing that promises will matter but little once he Is elected, is a hypocrite and Is not worthy of office; the man who promises much but has neither the ability nor the con-, nectiona to meet those promises may be a good but an ineffective official; while the man who has a reasonable platform and the ability and connections and courage to see that it ia put Into effect as far as possible is the man to vote for. Let's scrutinize our candidates from towpshlp constable to Chief Magistrate of the United Stntee ? the President ? and see that we elect to office good men who s^e both able and courageous, for If ever we needed abUity and courage we need them now.?Ooldsboro Herald. 4 T .

Sprinkle, the little fellow with the big personality, sending us a birthday wishes card from Atlantic City ? and a very, nice one 't vus, too ? says that he's having a grand time at the General Conference, and that the weather's warm enough to go in swimming, but that there are no bathing beauties. He would mention that! I'll bet the teacher feels like he's been gyped.

Steve falls in love with Brenda and prof-moles her to soloist in his floor show. Then he suddenly fires her; and when she demands the reason he informs her that he has decided to eschew all other women and marry her. Chapter Two j For three year* their married j life was one of ecstatic happiness; almost unreal in it* flawlea* sue- ; cession of unclouded days and nights. All of Steve's driving ambltion, all his relentless energy cen- i tereU around one goal: to make ; more and more money, to earn | more and more costly luxuries, for , his adored wife. And Brenda, who , In the beginning had protested that she did not seek material things but' only the happiness of 1 quiet security and love, accustomed herself to the steady flow of fabulous gifts ? of jewels, furs, exquisite gowns, regal living quarters. and anything else her heart might desire. But Steve paid a price for his > spectacular rise to riches and power.

"Steve, you've never liked to talk to me about your business ? and I've let it go at that. But I've had an Idea you were taking chances, and tonight proves it." "Nothing's happened' to me. And "Please. Steve. Let's get out of here ? let's go away some placeto Europe or South America for a fear ? until whatever this thing is blows over. We've got enough." "We wilt have," he smiled, "in five years." * Slant Kolma was surprised, early the next morning, to receive a call from Brenda ? alone.

"Steve seems to think he's a nan of destiny. Maybe he 'is." She soon rose to go, baffled by he interview. Plainly Slant would ?e no help to her,. though she ould scarcely blame him. But as he was walking through the outer iff Ice, she paused on hearing the 'olce of Kolma's secretary deliverng a message through the interimce dictaphone. "The Income tax people are on he way over, Mr. Kolma." Brenda considered for a moment, hen slowly retraced her steps to ll&Qt'fl OfflCC. "By the way, 81ant, how is that ncome tax business coming along? Vlth Steve. I mean?" "We're okay. It waaat serious." "Could It have been serious? I mow Steve's been Jumping the tovernment. If they caught him rhat would he get?" Slant's eyes narrowed, his cool nlnd racing along with hers, hie ace betraying nothing. "They ould n't catch him. Steve's too mart ? I'm too smart." "But if they did catch him?" "Ob, It wouldn't cost him much is those things go. A hunk of lough, of course ? maybe a year ir so In the can." "X see." She laughed nervously. Of course, it's silly even to talk ibout K. Am you say, he's okay." "Yeah. He's okay?* see That afternoon Brands posted a tter shoes envelops contained 10 return addraoa. The envelope ras addressed.
