TrfE BUSIEST CORNER
IN THE WORLD
Where is "the Busiest Corner in the
World" from your standpoint? It
Should be right under your hat! Upon
the amount of traffic handled at this
important intersection, where all im-
pulses are received and all bodily
actions originated, depends the size of
your pay envelope and the regularity
With which it is received.
Fortunately, your brain has the
facilities for handling all the increas-
ed traffic you can put up to it. In
fact, the more traffic you send
through, the easier the job of direct-
to* it will become for you.—Missouri
State Life Bulletin.
Here's an entry for the list of defi-
nitions of a pessimist—one who car-
ried salmon and sardines in his lunch
kit on fishing trips.

Conroe Courier:
Sale by the sheriff of nearly 10,000
acres of Walker county school sur-
vey in the eastern part of this county
Tuo^lay to satisfy a judgment lor
vender's lien against the land held by
[Walker county under sale to Mont-
gomery County Development Co., in
1910 attracted considerable attention
and brought a dozen or more people;
from distant points, people who had j
bought the land and thought they
owned it. About 250 parties owning
from 5 to 200 acres bought through
the development company were sold
out, the debt being over $50,000 and
Walker county taking the land back
for $20,000. It was stated by attor-
neys in discussing title to this land
that a lumber company was going
to buy the land when Walker county
got the title back.
In 1921 the railroads of this country
used 162 pounds of coal to move 1,000
tons of freight and train equipment a
distance of one mile. In 1928 but 127
pounds of coal wu used to perform
the same service. This was the best
record in fuel consumption the rail-
roads have ever made.
It is sometimes easier to give in,
than to keep up the argument.
Nowadays you can act as silly as
you please on the street and people
will merely wonder where the cam-
eras are.
Sometimes you think a young fel-
low is throwing away his money when
he isn't. It is his papa's money.
We can remember when we lived on
our income, but we don't see how in
the world we ever did it.
Someone has discovered that it
costs $2.50 a day to feed a lion. We
do not card much for lions anyway.
We will compromise on a gold fish.
