AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY
Hi Ho! Everybody. Labor Day
gone toy OK, only swept away
665 they claim. Glad I wasn't
numbered in that bunch. \ The
State Highway Safety Council
told us how many would be
knocked off that day, but why
didn't they call out the names.
That's the biggest fool thing yet
toeing killed on the highways in
a trap. Tell us how many birds
will they kill off Thanksgiving.
Then comes dear old Christmas,
with a few more dead souls.
They done put out the news that
by Dee. 31 one thousand will be
slain on highways in these rat
tle-traps. What fools we mortals
toe, knowing that life is but a
span at best, s;ill we venture on
life's uncertain highway and
come toack in after the big time
-dead. That's the end on this ear
th, but we live on in another
country. Heaven, maybe hell. Lets
quit getting killed on the high
ways. Life is so sweet, short if
we live to the end. I love it. don't
you?
A nation like an individual can
spend itself into bankruptcy and
that is what Harry is going to do
if not checked. Oh, let her roll,

I explain .to me if
you can, whether you believe it
or not peace on earth is farther a
way than it was 2,000 year ago.
GOD'S MERCY STORE
One of strangest stores in the
world today is in the little town of
Waller, Texas. It is called "God's
Mercy Store, " and is owned
toy A. D. Purvis In it is every
thing from a fish hook to a cof
fee pot, tout no clerks. The?custo
mer selects his purchase, shows
... . I
the owner the price marked on I
it. It is the price the storekeeper j
paid lor it. If the customer gives
a five dollar bill, he is asked
how much change he wants and
the amount is given without
question. Purvis has been con- !
ducting this 'store for 24 years.
The idea for his Unique store
came to him when he became ]
worried over his neighbors. They
were ail poor share croppers, con
stantly in debt to the large plan
tation owners. One night Purvis
dreamed that God told him to
sell his little farm and go to the
nearest town, and start a store
for these poor share croppers. He
went to Waller, where he built a
stocked shack. Thus began God's
Mercy Stone. The only successful
store on earth where the custor
mer divides the shop keeper's
profits. The mercy I show to oth
ers Lord, that'mercy show to me.
I sure don't know what will be
come of a lot ot our merchants
who are charging two prices just
?because of this war. On April the
first a man could buy a Model A
tractor for $1970 ? now they tell
me the price has jumped to S2,
400. Now the cost of living is
steadily going up, but its not on
ly as you merchants mark it up.
No two sell alike. Got your own
price. Well, skin 'em while you
can, but don't forget a war s on.
Today we think of the automo
bile -as the most wonderful ma
chine. It is true that the automo
bile has thousands of parts. And
it has to be greased and oiled
and watered and washed and air
ed and anti-freezed and worked
all over to make it useful. A
wonderful machine indeed. But
let's look at this created man that
handles this m xhine. His perspi
ration ducts or cubes as you
choose to call them, out classes
all 'parts of this benzine buggy
combined. Its claimed by good
authority that there aire two mil
lion three hundred and forty
eight of these ducts or vital tubes
in the human body. And placed
end to end would make a. tube
