Driving hard bargains ordinarily
drives friends away.
Independence without wealth is
more common than with it.
All that glitters can not be meas
ured by the golden rule.
He is the wise man who knows
his opportunity when he sees it.
The shortest time in the day is
from the time one gets up until it
is time to go to work.
The world never buy* an opera
glass to watch the fellow that is
too lazy to raise a dust.
A hound pup with only reasona
ble ambition can beat many a man
hustling for a living any day.
A man who is too lazy to make
hay while the sun shines rarely
ever has an umbrella when it rains.
The left hind foot of a graveyard
rabbit will bring luck to any man
who is industriuos, efficient, eco
nomical and thrifty.
Enthusiasm is the steam which
propels the engine of endeavor, but
the boilers should be provided with
a safety valve.
The average man would rather
lose a five dollar bill tnan to be
cheated out of it, and would rather j
give it away than lose it.
Efficiency, as we understand it,
does not write a letter in the morn
ing, and let it lie on the desk until
thi next day to be mailed.
The enormous figures indicating
the daily cost of war are accompa
nied by almost unanimous belief
that it is not worth the money.
A woman has been arrested for
carrying a revolver in her stocking
She should be released on the
ground that it was not a concealed
weapon. __
“Kissing another man’s wife cost
him his life,” is a headline in a
daily. The increased cost of living
is a more serious matter than we
had supposed.
There is no silver lining in the
cloud for the man who gets up at 4
o’clock in the morning to go fishing
— and comes home after dark with
out having had a bite.
Uncle Sam trying to act as a
peace intermediary at the present
time would probably be in about
the same position as the umpire in
a ball game between two home
teams. _
If beside the road of life there
were no happy folks who opens the
windows of their soul and let the
sunshine of their presence light the
way, the journey would be a long
and lonesome one and the shadows
cling with heayiness about the feet.

P«.M the wise spending of one's money—making every dollar do full duty

The
WHITE
is a real bargain because it is sold at a popular
price; because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in; because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service; because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finish and beauty of its furniture.
In short you will find the White reliable and
desirable from every point of view.
Be sure to see the White dealer who will be glad to show you how good a
twarhine the White is. If there is no White dealer handy, write us direct for cat
alogs. We do not sell to catalog houses. Vibrator and Rotary Shuttle Machines.
