PUSH. PLUCK. PERSEVERANCE, EN-
ERGY. ENTHUSIASM, GRIT
GUMPTION!
When every spot is sizzling hot
And energy ia lacking,
When “I-don't-care” lurks everywhere
And trade has lost its backing;
Why, then’s the time true worth will shine
In all its lovely splendor.
’Tie then true grit and ready wit
Will harvest legal tender.
The man who knows where mopey goes
Is good at calculating— .
And every day invents a *way
To keep it circulating.
He’ll advertise in space and size—
He never thinks of stopping,
And people know juBt where to go
To do their daily shopping.
The man who whines and sits and pines
And swears that “trade is rotten”
Would be more wise to advertise
And have his stuff all ‘boughten.”
The cheerful grin will always win;
The growler—all will shun him,
Except his creditors, of course.
Who once a week will dun him.
Then do not melt; just hitch your belt
A little bit the tighter,
Just advertise in space good size,
And show that you’re a fighter.
The Shuttle clicks with busy picks
For those who furnish filling—
’Twill weave for you a bolt or two
Of success—if you are willing.
Ethel Thomas in LaGrange (Ga.) Shuttle.

Scientists are now performing
surgical operations on bad
boys’-. heads to make the
boys good. When we
were a boy parents per-
forrted a different kind of
an operation on bad boys. The
operations usually got results,
but we always felt like the
treatement should have been
more scientific and less painful.
I Up in Indiana a hog died of
appendicitis the other day. This
is an item that will fill the

porker must undergo an oper-
ation for appendicitis before
j it reaches the pork stage meat
will soon be selling at so much

A London bishop, who is 87,
is out in a statement in which
he attributes his long life to
total abstinence. Over in Ken-
tucky lives Elijah Brown, who
is 91, and who attributes his
long life to the fact that he has
taken a drink every day since
he was 15. The two patriarchs
may scrap the matter out bv
themselves, but the thirsty
population would like for Mr.
Brown to speak out and tell
where he has been getting
his’n the last three years.
The Dallas News early this
week gathered crop reports
from every section of the state.
The report shows cotton to be
very poor in most sections, and
the condition of the plant, with
the small acreage planted,
presages a very small crop of
cotton for Texas. Nearly every
section of the state reported a
good corn crop. In sections
where corn is not grown other
feed crops, such as maize,
kaffir and cane, are very good.
There is a shortage of live stock
and this, with the heavy feed
crops, will make it possible to
fatten all cattle and hogs on
home-grown feed.

Castorla is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
. age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Hovels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep. \

John F. Wallace, of the Peo-
ple’s Club. Mr. Wallace said
the figures were based on es-
timates given him by the Board
of Control.
“With these figures in
mind,” he said, “we have come
to the conclusion that every ef-
fort must be made to bring the
appropriations within the ex-
pected revenue and, if this can
not be done, to make the de-
ficit as small $s possible.” Mr.
Wallace would not say wheth-
er an attempt would be made
to trim the educational bill
further or whether the appro-
priations bills would be opened
up again in order to make
them bear their share in
further slashes.

Just as we predicted, it’s
coming. In a very few weeks
a “drive” will be on in this
country to raise funds for the
hungry Russians. The Soviet
has released American prison-
ers long been held without
cause, and now it is asking for
bread. As we understand it,
the Good Book teaches that
every person in need is our
neighbor; that it is our duty to
love our neighbors as our-
iselves. There were no Bolshev-
ists in the Master’s day, and
somehow we dan’t help believ-
ing that an exception will be
made and no man be^forced to
acknowledge L e n i n e and
Trotsky’s crowd as neigh-
bors. If we can fully
persuade ourselvfcs that
i this exception will be made
| we’ll dron a stone in the hat
when the Bolsheviki crowd
asks for bread.
when you are asleep, some-
thing comes -to your mind,
which, if it is carried out it
would mean success. That
w*as opportunity knocking.
If you’d stop to thing, op-
portunity is taking a crack at
you right now—trying to con-
vince you that the Recorder is
the best advertising medium
in the worlcK so far as you are
concerned, and if you don’t
grab that opportunity by the
hind leg and choke it into sub-
mission, don’t blame us if
your bank balance begins to
wear a sort of pink complex-
ion.
Any human being can take
advantage of opportunity. The
only thing that cannot take
that advantage is something
without life. As an illustra-
tion: If the Statue of Liberty
had been a real woman she’d
have had more lovers than a
French soldier had icooties.
She had the opportuniey but
she couldn’t take the advan-
tage.
We love the Statue of Liber-
ty but don’t fail to remember
that we’d rather be our own
sweet self than to be the Statue
of Liberty and we don’t
want to feel that you are on
that order and cannot take ad-
vantage of the opportunity
which is being given you right
now.
GOES ALL OVER
THE UNIVERSE
We might say that a Fair-
field lady wrapped in the Re-
corder and sent to a relative,
who is a missionary in China.<
Eleven weeks later she got a
letter from the relative ask-
ing if there was any chance of
getting a pair of No. 6 shoes
that had been advertised in a
local store. That ad didn’t
cause a sale in that particular
instance, but it was possible.
