A fellow was down in No Man’s
Land Monday . talking .about the
route across Hopkins county for that
north and south highway. No Man’s
Land knows nothing and cares noth-
ing about any special , route north or
south. All we know is that the right-
of-way through No Man’s Land has
been secured and that no highway
from anywhere will ever get any-
where- that fails to come this way.
All No Man’s Land has to say about
the route is, to. build all highways
and byways as designated on the
map used in the campaign for voting
the road bonds. That is all.
On to the.East Texas Dairy Show
in Tyler‘Wednesday. Let’s go.
: The Literary Digest is polling the
United States by. means of post cards.
, on the question of repealing the
Eighteenth Amendment. No Man’s
Land has received and mailed back
its card. We hit the anti-line so hard
with our pencil that the returned
card looked like , our ticket voted in
the presidential- campaign in the year
of our Lord 1928, when we scratch-
ed the word- Hoovercrat so long and
furiously that the election manager
insisted, on .throwing out our ballot
as mutilated.
Among the several crops that
should be. planted in Hopkins county
with large acreage this year is. that
of peas. Green peas bring more mon-
ey into Hopkins county during the
summer months than most any. other
crop and they are always in demand
when threshed,- at a’ good price. The
Big Sandy country has contracted
with ait- Athens firm to grow thou-
sands 0^111^111?'?^ pda's this year at
$2.00 per bushel. Not only are peas
profitable to grow but there is noth-
ing that so enriches the land as peas-
Even the roots of peas enrich land
when both peas and vines are har-
vested.

. THE TRULY-GREAT
So often we hear; the statement
that great men are indifferent to re-
ligion and that great thinkers are
often doubters, that sometimes we
are almost persuaded that it is true.
Nothing'is farther from the true
facts.
Every President from Washington
to Hoover has been a believer in re-
ligion and but two have not, been
communicants of some church. Thom-
as Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln
are the two. Jefferson has been
pointed out as a “free-thinker” and
even as,' a follower o.f Tom Pain in.

will, made a year before his death,

this reference to his daughter: “And
I commend my beloved daughter to
the tender a: 1 oving care of our
Heavenly Father.” And certainly no
one would claim that Lincoln was
not an humble believer and that his
reliance on the Supreme Ruler was
constant.
Washington in his farewell address
places his estimate on religion in
this way:
“Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, re-
ligion and morality are indispensa-
ble support. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism, who
should labor to subvert these great
pillars of human . happiness, these
firmest props of the duties of men
and citizens. The mere politician,
equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and to cherism them. A vol-
ume could not trace all their connec-
tions with private and public felic-
ity. Let it simply be asked, where is
the security for property, for repu-
tation, for life, if the sense of reli-
gious obligation desert the oaths
which are the instruments of investi-
gation in courts of justice? and let
us with caution indulge the suppo-
sition that morality can be maintain-
ed without religion. Whatever may
be conceded to the influence of re-
fined education on minds of peculiar
structure, reason and experience
both forbid us to expect, that nation-
al morality can prevail in exclusion
of religious principle.
“It is substantially' true, that vir-
tue or morality is a necessary spring
of popular government. The rule, in-
deed, extends with more or less
force to every species of free gov-
ernment. Who that is a sincere
friend to it can look with indiffer-
ence upon attempts to shake the
foundation of the fabric?”
This nation rightfully prescribes
that there shall be no established re-
ligion and yet it is founded on the
Christian religion. It is in the very
woof and warp of our government.
It is the cornerstone upon which we
have builded. Without it our civili-
zation would perish and we would be
“one with Ninevah and Tyre.”—
Marshall News.
laughs at us, for she knows that the
race has got to come back and do it
all over again. It is better to do a
little work thoroughly than to do a
great amount of work carelessly. The
work that is done carelessly will have
to be done over again. God, with
whom we are colaborers, will not let
any slipshod work get by. He de-
mands that it,shall be done right. He
is not concerned with personal prof-
it but with good work.
Most of the troubles and sorrows
in life come to us because we think
we can be careless about things and
not pay for our carelessness. We
have to pay the last penny.
One lesson we will have to learn
and that is, that we are not in the'
world to make money but to do our
work well-—Winder News.
WAITING
Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor
sea;
I rave no more ’gainst time or fate.
For lo! my own shall come to me. -
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know myj
face.
Asleep, awake, by night, by day,
The friends I seek are seeking me,
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath
sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
heights;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soil of pure delights.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave comes to the sea;
Nor time., nor space, nor deep, nor
tygh,
Can keep my own away from me.
—John Burroughs.
GOING TOO FAST
The trouble with the present age
is, we are going too fast. Time is too
valuable to us. We are going so fast
that we cannot enjoy the journey
through life. Not the amount of work
a man does in life is what counts as
the thoroughness with which he does
it. There is still much truth in the
old adage, “One thing at a time and
that done well, is. a very good rule
as many can tell.”
Our minds are too much upon re-
sults rather than good, honest work.
We are not living- in this world to
make individual successes but to
make a success, of the whole race.
The man accumulates a fortune thru
speculation in order that he and his
family may live in ease and idleness
is a menace to the progress of the
race. It’s time for this nation to get
away from. such shallow thinking.
Nature always takes time to do
things right. She never rushes. If
the human race would learn this les-
son from nature it wouldn’t take
long to build the kingdom of God
here upon earth. One thing is cer-
tain, we can’t rush God, nor can we
get ahead of Him. If one generation
tries to rush through a proposition
and half way do it, the next genera-
tion has to go back and do it all over
again.
The rushing spirit is in all phases
of our life. We find it in all our ac-
tivities. We ride fast, we eat fast, we
demand quick service everywhere
and in everything. We are impatient,
and raise*a row if we have to wait
for anything or anybody. We take
no pleasure in doing things but rush
to get them done.
In all our “rushing” spirit, nature
H. Galt Braxton, publisher of the
Kingston (N. C.), Free Press, says:
That it is indeed remarkable how
little conception the general run of
business men have of the importance
of advertising. I do not refer, of
course, to those who conduct success-
ful business institutions, but the n’er-
do-wells, those who complain most
of hard times and slack business. The
first thing that seems to come into
their minds when they consider a
slash in the expense account is to
cut off what little advertising ap-
propriation they have been marking,
or to reduce it. In this connection,
it is interesting to analyze the record
of many business concerns and see
just what is charged to advertising.
One gets the impression that it is
the custom of some when they have
an expense item which they don’t
know what to do with, to charge it
to advertising.
When the country is passing
through a period of somewhat de-
pressed business conditions, as it is
at the present time, there is a need
for wise expenditure of advertising
appropriations. I am not at ail cer-
tain that it is a time to cut the ap-
propriation, but rather do I think the
wise and successful business admin-
istrator will deem it necessary to
maintain the status quo, if not in-
crease the appropriation and hit
harder. I am convinced from obser-
. GrK those concerns..:,y/hiah,,do.
not misjudge the value of advertis-
ing and continue to give it intelli-
gent thought and planning, have
much less to complain about than do
those who think “it’s no use to ad-
vertise at a time like this.” Even
the non-advertiser himself will admit
that his neighbor who is a consistent
advertiser in dull as well as rush sea-
sons is doing a better business. But
he, too, often fails to recognize that
his neighbor’s success is due to the
fact that he is letting no grass grow
under his feet and his advertising
policy is one of the best indices of.
that.
The merchant who thinks that he
can get along without advertising
might as well take the count to be-
gin with and make room for his pro-
gressive neighbors.

NEW YORK
TODAY
There is a type of New Yorker
usually found around the Broadway
zone possessing what might he call-
ed a whispering complex, but which,
in reality, is merely a method of
giving others the impression they
are on speaking terms with the cele-
brities. When a man or woman in
the public eye happens, along, these
show-offs hurry over and in the fin-
ished manner of one of real impor-
tance, appear to be in earnest con-
versation with the person of note,
whereas the conversation is actually
trivial and pointless.
At a gathering recently at which
several prominent authors were on
the list of speakers, and one of the
greatest of all novelists arrived, he
was quickly approached by a gentle-
man he had never seen before, but
who called him by name and made a
great fuss over him.
“Hasn’t it been a dreadful day,”
he rambled. “And your latest book
-—you know, I only said this after-
noon to a friend of mine that it
was the greatest book I ever read,
etc.” All the while the other was
trying to edge away, but did not
want to offend the fellow. But the
boy with the complex doesn’t mind.
The crowd has been watching him
and he has given the impression he
is on intimate speaking terms with
the person of note beside him.
Half a dozen fello\vs stop every
night to talk* with Roy Ingraham,
band master and radio star, for the
sole reason of giving friends the
impression they are acquainted with
personally, although, the chances are
he has never seen them before.
Then there is the opposite type,
just as funny, in its way. When
someone points out a. celebrity to
them, they will flick the ash from
their cigarette and say, “Menjou?
What is he but a movie actor?” or
“Lindbergh? Why, I met.him when
he came back from France, What
has he done in the last couple of
months?”
Some out-of-towners at the Vic-
toria Hotel, paraded Broadway by
the hour in the hope of, glimpsing
someone of note and then, rewarded
by a glimpse of this star or that,
purchasing their tickets for home,
satisfied that Broadway is actually
what it’s cracked up to be.1

REPORTER.
There was a man not long ago
who visited one fashionable res-
taurant after the other in the hope
of finding people of note so that he.
could carry back home with him
some ready- story to tell, but it was.
not until he gave up the hunt dis-
couraged and sought quiet in an in-
conspicuous side-street dining place
that he suddenly discovered he was
seated at the next table to no less
than the very celebrities he had been
hoping to see.

Trade-Mark
OLD SILVERSMITHS, in order to help tell pure
silver from cheaper imitations, marked the real thing
“sterling.”
In a like manner, manufacturers, who stand back
of their wares, identify them with trade-marks that are
your guarantee of quality. By advertising these trade-
marks, they focus on their products the searchlight of
attention.
Only good’goods, fairly priced, can flourish in this
light of publicity. For no merchandise and no business
can thrive under the weight of public condemnation.
This is why a manufacturer, or a merchant, places
the whole reputation of his, business at stake every
time he advertised. His goods must be as advertised.
So, in looking through this paper, remember this:
the man who spends his money to invite your con-
sideration of his wares backs up his belief in his goods
and leaves the final decision to you.
It pays you to read the advertisements. It pays you
to buy advertised products.
Advertising is your protection.
