Ask This Gentleman
To Cough Up
Everybody wants to see bet
ter country roads around here,
and those who live off of the
community should do their
share toward its upkeep, either
through local taxation or by
volt nary contributions.
Our local business men have
dug down into their pockets ev
ery year for taxes, and then
they have dug down again and
again for all sorts of laudable
objects in fhe way of contribu
tions to this, that and whatnot,
and they will probablycontinue
to dig as long as they remain in
business.
lilt* gUUU U1U deiHt’V tUW
they have been “milked” so
long and so often and for such
varied purposes that “digging”
has become almost second na
ture to them.
But there is one man who is
ROLLING IN WEALTH that
has been gathered hi from the
rural districts, and tuatmanhas
yet to make his first dig. At
any rate, no one appears to
have heard of him contributing
a single penny for the allevia
tion of local conditions.
He is the MAIL ORDER
MAN, and it. is high time for
HIM to dig.
Many of you have been send
ing him your money for these
many years, depleting the fi
nancial condition of your home
community in order that he and
his may ride in expensive auto
mobiles and wear rich furs,
laces and diamonds.
He counts his wealth by the
millions, all contributed by his
“dear fiends” from the country
districts. A few hundreds to
him would be but a drop in the
bucket, yet it would mean much
to you if expended in improv
ing the roads that you must
travel in earning your daily
bread.
Now suppose each one ofyou
good people who have been
handing your hard earned cash
over to the mail order man in
the past just write him a letter
and tell him your roads are sad
ly in need of repairs. Just tell
him that when the rains come
the mud is dc p, and traffic is
difficult, and d i., hard for .on
to earn the golden dollars that
go to swell the great wealth he
can never spend.
Tell him that you have been
bis friend in the past. Now ask
him to prove his mettle by lie
coming your friend in the* pre
ent., with a few hundreds for
better roads.
Ask him to “dig,” and dig
deeply. If he is your friend—if
he cares a rap for you—HE
W ILL DIG. Lul if he thinks on
1.V ot what he can squeeze* out
of you, HE WON'T DIG.
\N rite him today and see if
he digs.
” hen the elimination stage
is passed there will be only
thiee candidates for governor
—Brough, Hodges and McRae.
Can you pick the winner?

Value of Truth

Today, when the Old World
is racked with war and there
are political exposures and pol
itcal complications in our own
country, the value of truth be
comes more and more apparent.
By being frank and consis
tently truthful in his dealings
with the powers of Europe
President Wilson has success
fully managed to preserve peace
for the people of the United
! States.
Nearly every week brings to
light some unfortunate affair
which might have been avoid
ed had the characters involved
adhered to the uplifting princip
les of truth.
War in Europe is the natur
al consequence of yearsoffalse
hood. masking the greed, the
ambition and the avarice of the
nations now involved.
The value of truth cannot be
estimated and is but hylf un
folded to the mind.The motives
j which often govern mankind
I are so opposed to the develop
ment of truth that the force and
power of integrity are lost in
the avarice of the soul.
Truth’s principle fills the
'•calm of our being and may be
made a power in every life. If
nurtured as tin' basis of each
purpose and deed, truth will el
evate iife’s standard to man’s
ideal of perfection. The heart is
oft ?n so obstinate that progress
is secured only by battling with
our desires and with acts of self
denial. We should govern our
animal propensities so that our
An estimate of the number
of rats in the United States
places their rodent tiopulation at
• >00,Poo,ooo. This is more ac
curate, of course,but the census
is not far from approximating
ihe total number. These 300,
000,000 rats, it is figured, cause
an annual loss to the people of
the l nited States amounting to
$360,000,000. Of this sum,
$100,000,000 represents the a
mount of grain consumed— e
nough, according to statisti
cians, to provide sustenance for
every man, woman and child
in the country. The balance of
the loss is due to damage done
to buildings, clothing, provisions
of every sort and supplies kept
in storehouses and doesnottake
into consideration the loss that
is due to preventive measures
against bubonic plague.
'l l!-' ^h.M p County Record
" to poke fun at Billy Old
tield because Mr. Oldfield was
born in a log house. Where a
man is born is a matter of very
small concern ,b ut where he ar
livos in after years is the thing
that counts when we sum up
v hat is in the man. And in this
respect there appears to becon
siderable contrast in Billy and
!he editor of the Record, both
\"{ "’horn are products of Sharp
' ountv. Billy was born in a log
bu( but has gotten away from
it; the editor of the Record was
ipparently born in a cave and
is still in the dark.
The Thanksgiving season is I
a good time to examine self and
see if there is anything in our
lite that hinders the progressof
ihe neighborhood. It may be I
lhat while we feel that we are
leaders we should be followers
instead, or at least one who
works with others instead of in
advance ot them. It does not
matter whether we lead or
whether our neighbor leads.
^ bat this community needs is
progress and we will be held
i responsible if we do not sacri
fice our own peculiar views if
! necessary for the welfare of the
community.

,or eight gubernatorial candi
dates a few weeks ago, the con
test has narrowed down to
three, and the race promises to

understanding may expand un
checked. It is only by such
schooling that vve can attain a
high standard of morality.
The value of truth is more than
that of gold, yet but few adopt
it as a talisman in life’s gains
and reverses. To satisfy our
greed for gain the potency of
truth will accomplish far more
than any devisable plan. Every
material worth of spiritual pow
er are forms of truth from the
hands of God. The motive to be
good and truthful should be in
stilled into the child. Properly
nourised, it will guide him in
the after years of life. We
should all be firm in faith,alive
with helpful purposes and our
deeds will become beacons of
light in the pathway which
leads to immortality.
In pressing onward through
life, whatever our vocation may
be, our most powerful ally isin
tegrity. Without it our efforts
are sure to be unfruitful of
good. I h longer we act in com
pliance with the law of trutr,
the more ;ustly can we appreci

its power to create beneficial

The satisfaction of going1 to
the smokehouse when meat or
lard is needed is worth all the
effort required to raise and
cure meat for the home. With
corn and wheat for bread, pork
and bacon for meat, cows for j
milk and butter there are no
reasons why farmers may not
live cheaply and well. It does
not require a large money crop
to provide the necessities where
there is plenty of food in the
smokehouse, pan<ry and gran
ary. Let us strive to produce
these things next year.—Farm

From all indications, the poli
tical contest in Independence
county :s going to warm up con
siderably before the close of
the campaign. Let her rip;and
may -the best man win.
Most of us express admira
tion for the person who is nota
traid to say what he thinks—
nit we get, most awfully dis
gusted with the person who
doesn’t know when to shut up.
A scientist claims to havedis
civered the elixir of life. But
its too late now to save the Bull
Moose.
1 he greatest distinction some
men attain is living to be more
than 60 years old.
A great many people who fail
seem to think success is a mere
matter of luck.
