heart to heart talks
“Another Reader” seems to
have slightly misunderstood
the attitude we took in our
first article. We heartily en
dorse what he says. Where we
only struck the keynote he has
played the prelude as it were,
of a grand production which
is now to be played and we
expect the finale to be im
pressive, indeed.
Our talk was intended not
to condemn the young, but to
cause the eyes of all (more
especially the older ones) to
be opened and to look at
things as they are. To awak
en from their slumber and get
to work in every way. You
have ample opportunity. At
the grand meeting of the Com
munity Club which was held
on Monday night Nov. 17.
there was work outlined
which it will take us ALL to
accomplish if we wish it to be
done in the best way to make
this the finest town in Ark
ansas. Help the Sanitary
Committee in any way you
can. Take a pride in beauti
fying the town and in this
way help the Civic Commit
tee. Come to the S. I. A. and
help it improve the conditions
oi the school. Throw open
your homes for the use of the
committee which is to provide
recreation for the young peo
ple and stop them in their
race “to the devil.” We have
allowed our intelligence and
sense of decency to be insult
ed too long for the good
ot the community. Don’t
oink that we will stand for it
longer.
We iove the young people
and know that in them lies the
°Pe of the community. We
now they do not know and

such a career. When they

concern yourself about it.
No matter how pure they are, j
there will come times that
they will be confronted by na
ture. It is criminal for you to
allow these temptations to
come in a way that they will
not be able to resist.
An illustration in a primary
physiology reminds us of the
conditions in our community,
they resemble a large boil
that has puffed up on its fair
countenance. The cause of
this boil are the disease germs
of immorality, discontent,
stubbornness, selfishness, the
desire to get a dollar and
hold to it, big I and little U,
etc, etc. The fighters of these
germs are the good healthy
corpuscles of the good red
blood of our community. This
boil has swollen to such pro
portion that it is very painful
and must be lanced so that
the poison may be allowed to
pass out and not be absorbed
by the community and cause
the death of the healthy cor
puscles. Are you a disease
germ or are you a corpuscle
in the good red blood of our
community?
Who can say that a boil
when properly lanced, would
not be of as much benefit to a
community as to an individ
ual ?
We will know you by the
the place you fight.
A READER.
M. H. S. PEPITORIALS.
Hurrah for the seniors!
They like to win quarter holi
days.
We felt very sorry (?) for the
tenth grade, however.
Their per cent of attendance
was very high.
Now is the time to work hard,
not next spring
Are you staying at home on
“school nights?”
If not, don’t ask for mercy.
You can’t learn algebra or
good English on the streets.
How many pupils systemati
cally save a part of their
money?
Remember you are going to
get old, too, some day.
We expect to have some play
ground equipment yet, Mr.
Business Man, we are not
beggars, but you ought to
give liberally to this excel
lent cause.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
EVERY FORD OWNER SHOULD KNOW
Just what Ford service is, and why it is dif
ferent from ordinary garage se rvice. The Ford
dealer is a part of the Big Ford Family. He
carries a large stock of genu ine Ford parts
for repairs and replacements, and he uses
only genuine parts because he knows the im
itation parts are not dependable.
He has a thoroughly-equippe d, up-to-the-min
ute garage with tools that enable his Ford
mechanics to efficiently and properly make any
repair—from a minor adjustment to a com
plete overhaul.
Now, we are Authorized Ford Dealers—a
part of the great Ford Service organization
which was formed chiefly to put within each
community a dealer who would Tiave more
than a passing interest in Ford repairs and ad
justments. Drive in or phone and we’ll come
for your car.
RIGGS BROTHERS, McCrory, Ark.
