The Uses of Adversity
Nothing is ttuer than that continued and
sustained prosperity will enervate and under
mine the physical, mental and moral stamina
of any people. The human animal is all too
prone to over indulge in the good things of life.
Put a man on his mettle to wrest existence from
a reluctant world, and in the effort every fibre
of his being is necessarily developed to the ut
termost, and he emerges an invincible specimen
of the fighter.
So with nations. Given all that heart can
wish, and left to revel unhindered in the indul
gence of that plenty, the national fibre must
inevitably deterioate.
Any crisis that jars men out of their ease
cannot fail to work good to the people. With
no disposition to minimize the evils of the re
cent war, yet we are bound to realize that the
world is waking up to a view of life that it had
well-nigh lost. Life is a struggle, and when
struggling ceases, decay sets in.
When the smoke of the present conflict
has cleared away and the world takes stock of
results, we will be found to have learned many
valuable lessons. One great loss is inevitable
—that of heroic lives that must of necessity be
sacrificed. This is deplorable. Yet these lives
will have been given in the most glorious of
causes—the renewing and vitalizing of the life
of the nations.
From the dawn of history to the present
day, many people have professed to deride and
scoff at the scriptural virtues of renunciation
and self sacrifice. Yet the decree remains as
unalterable today as when enunciated by the
Man of Gallilee, that "whosever loseth his life
shall find it.’’
We of America have not yet touched the
edge of real renunciation. We have given only
of a superabundance. It is when the giving as
sumes the nature of sacrifice that the real good
to the people is realized. We repeat, the
sacrifice of life is deplorable, and we would it
could have been averted. There is but one great
er calamity that could befall us, that is that we
should fail to measure up to the opportunity
now knocking at our door.

Much Talk is Only Noise
Some people talk much and do little. Oth
ers talk little and do much. A few are betwixt
and between and never succeed in setting them
selves or the world afire.
There is, however, a happy medium which
will afford us the necessary outlet for our
thoughts and yet serve the good of the com
munity at large.
Don’t be a clam, and don’t be a big noise.
Talk when you feel like it, but talk sense and
talk to people who have sense. When we dc
that we will gradually bring to the surface the
good points in each other; we will open up op
portunities for the development of the com
munity, and will be able to hit upon the means
of pushing our town along.
The man who talks little but says much
when he does talk is often silent when a little
talk from him would accomplish wonders. Or
the other hand, the big noise is known only as
a noise, and commonds about as much atten
tion and remembrance as a passing gust o1
wind.
Talk up, but speak gently and to the point
You will be both heard and heeded.

The Fifth Liberty Loan, which will bt
floated this spring, in April, will be called tin
Victory Loan. This will be the last of the greai
series of loans growing out of the world war
The amount has not been announced. Neither
has the interest rate nor the exact date. While
the government will probably require still more
money, even after the Fifth, it is announced
that this will be the last to be raised by popular
subscription.
I
Dollars and Ducks
It is well for young men to know that dollars
are like ducks—one follows another—and
though they may waddle along slowly and with
some effort, they will eventually get there.
We have young men in Newrark who are
just starting out on the road of life, but where
that road will lead is for them to say.
They are earning a few dollars now and as
time progresses their earning capacity will in
crease. If the early accumulations are thrown
to the birds it is more than likely that in later
life the buzzards will roost on the graves of
their ambition.
But if their first dollars are carefully tak
en care of, and this lesson of thrift and frugal
ity is fostered and encouraged, then in time the
bank will become the depository of their earn
ings and accumulations and eventual wealth,
and the eagle will soar over the heads of suc
cessful men.
'Ihose who waste today wdll squander to
morrow, and tomorrow is the agent of the devil.
Keep an eye on the young men of our town
but keep both eyes on those who spend wisely
but not foolishly, wh-o are full of life and gin
ger but never carry it to excess, whose eyes are
fixed upon the eagle and not upon the buzzard
Like the waddling duck, they may advance
slowly, but they will get there in time.

Conditions and prospects in the principal
countries of the world justify the statement
that for the staple food products grown in the
United States there will prevail for some time
a strong demand and that prices will probably
continue steady and at a high level. The cotton
farmer especially should note that during the
period of production of the 1919 crop, prices of
food and feed will probably continue steady
and at a high level. Can a cotton farmer af
ford to grow all cotton on the basis of high cost
and be forced to sell in the fall on the basis of
a lower level of prices?
--
A bill to create a State Board of Censors
to view and pass on the merits of moving pic
ture films, has been introduced in the senate.
The board would be composed of three mem
bers, each to receive a salary of $3,000 a year,
and to be appointed by the governor. Nice, fat
job for three of the governor’s friends.

During consideration in the legislature of
a bill to tax dogs, Mr. Yates of Sharp county
declared that the people in his county would as
readily consent to a tax on their children as on
their dogs. That is a splendid (?) tribute to
the children of Sharp county.
-S*
Full many a man, who now doth beat the
printer,
Will waste his voice upon the heated air,
And vainly sigh for cooling breeze of winter,
When he is punished for his sins down
there.

Every person knows his own mind, but it is
not every one who knows how to apply it. Many
have postive convictions on certain subjects, but
have not the power of will to assert those con
victions in the face of determined opposition.

The Stephens News very aptly remarks:
“It is the idle, and those who want to idle, who
think the world owes them a living, and if they
don’t get it they are ready to raise hell.”
IF YOU WERE BUSY
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
If you were busy being glad
And cheering others who are sad,
Although your heart might ache a bit.
You’d soon forget to notice it.
If you were busy doing good
And doing just the best you could
You’d not have time to blame some man
Who’s doing just the best he can.
If you were busy doing right,
You’d find yourself too busy', quite
To criticise your neighbor long
Because he’s busy doing wrong.
If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it, you would find
You’d soon forget to think was true
That someone was unkind to you.

600 miles.

wasted.
