The man who buys a farm now and stocks it with good cattle and other livestock is sure to make good if he works at it and sticks. We can imagine no surer way to guard against the future than this. | One way to drive safe is to tell your loving companion who insists on wrapping herself around you i and the steering wheel that she is I taking a considerable chance on landing in the ditch. In one way it may be good bus-1 iness to increase production with' less employees but in another it i isn't. When four or five million > are, out of work as a result of this ; economy the number of prospective ' buyers for the articles manufac-1 ttired is just that much less. Another week is over and we I come to another Sunday, a day of; rest and a day to think about that! million years that will come after ■ you have made your little visit on ! earth and thats one thing we can't i dodge though we seem to forget it ’ most of the time. Monday will be a good day to get every thing ready for the city I tHjiks to haul away, that is your/ iuf)l)ish and yon know what they/ wtt! take and what they won’t.!'

It is said there has been a great falling off recently in that mode of trave and the reduction is made to revive the business.

Lyndon.—Among reltcn recovod in dredging operations In the | Thames were a gun weighing [ two tons aud several pieces of i hewn stone, believed to have I been part of the old lAJildou Bridge, demolished lu 1832. ».. „ , Ing time is used they must hold the election under Standard Central time, which means that in this city the polls will open at seven |a. m.. and close at seven p. m., ’ which in the other precincts the old time of six to six will be used. The city manager of Cincinnati has resigned his job which paid him $25,000 per year to take one with a big private corporation. If a salary of that size won’t keep a good man what will? There are no doubt many perplexing problems in operating a large city and most men with the ability to do it will prefer a smaller salary and less responsibilities and petty worries. The fools who take life as a lottery, and who are waiting for the wheel to turn to their number never seem to realize that the i kind of "head’’ that wins is the one that tops a pair of brawny shoulders. The fellow with a clear head and a willing hand can give cards and spades to the schemer and beat ! him hands down. If you would do more thinking and less speculatI ing, more head work aud less chasI ing of phantoms, your balance at the bank would be larger and your standing in society better. All the | money that ever was made by (chance put against the loss and ’ havoc wrought by gambling, would be as a pea beside Jupiter. The man who spits on his hands aud keeps a-hoeing will have corn to spare in the winter, while the man who trusts to Providence and spends his time figuring on how the crop will husk out goes a-begg- ; ing.—T. P. A. Magazine. I Pfopje often wonder at the power 'of the government. It is compelling decent programs over the radio, eliminating profanity and all kinds of suggestive language, but it permits some of the rottenest literature to be displayed and sold to children in the open bookstores of th? country. In every public school in the country youngsters are carrying about with them some of the filthiest periodicals ever published in any language, and the wonder is that the good women in every town and city who appear to be so horrified over some things, close their eyes to this situation. Any week you can go to almost any bookstore and buy these indecent magazines. Children can buy them as well as adults. While I the government is keeping radio clean, why should it not exercise its power in suppressing these magazines that are weekly contaminating the boys and girls of the land? —Hartford City News.

An idiot is also a person behind you who insists on sounding his horn because I he does not think you are making a fast getaway. An idiot is a person who drives his car near the center of the road at about 20 miles an hour.

LAYS BLAME OF PRISON UNREST ON ANARCHISM (CONTINUEDJCROM PAGE ONE) j have been published within the prison and distributed. He regards radicalism among I convicts as one of the major prob- ’ k ins of prison life. i ‘’Within ten years”, he said, every prison' in the country will be patrolled permanently by armed troops.” The warden described threefeurtns of the prisoners as model and unblamable. Meanwhile, conditions at the prison, where 322 convicts were either fatally burned or suffocated Monday night, were apparently back to normal. For a moment last night memories of the disaster were recalled when a fire alarm rang through the prison. It was quickly declared false. Other than the momentary excitement the prisonets were quiet. While an investigating committee was preparing its report to Governor Myers Y. Cooper, arrangements were being made to remove mauy of the troops which have surrounded the prison since the fire. At the same time, Warden Thomas announced that 550 convicts are to be removed to another prison within a few days to ameliorate congestion. He did not name the institution. Only two developments served to heighten the closing hours of the investigation. Hubert L. Richardson, a guard, repudiated former testimoney when he declared that a range door in the cell house was open at the time he discovered the blaze. This was in contrast to his and Captain John Hall’s previous testimony that, said a quarrel over keys to ■ the locked door caused thet ata' j delay. I Another pliase of the investiga'l lion was opened when reports were circulated that, kilives and gulls were found on the bodies of convicts burned to death. Officials, i i however, refused to confirm or ■ comment on the report. ) The state was to continue disposition of the bodies today by burying 48, 18 of them unidentified, ’ in two graves, one for whites and one for negroes.
