PHONE 111 REMEMBER WHISTLING KIDS HITTING THE LONG TRAIL There comes a time when each of us must hit the long trail to a world that is hidden from mortal eyeS, a world of which we hear much, but of which we never see while life lasts. The trail is plainly blazed by many I markings, but it is only traveled by those who prepare themselves for the I journey in advance. The guiding of our steps may rest in other hands, but the taking of them rests wholly I with us. , As we aid in removing the ob- stacles from the path of our neighb ors and friends in this life, so will the obstructions be lessened or removed from our own paths when we take the long trail. No good act of ours is so small, no kind word so Insignificant, but what it has its reward when our earthly accounts are balanced. It Is not necessary to look afar for an opportunity to do good. Every day, every hour it is before us, in our community, in our own town, even in our own families. By our acts we are judged by God and man. Man may not see them all, but God misses nothing. There are many little acts of kind ness we might perform for those a- round us, or the unfortunate in our midst, many little words of cheer or sympathy we might extend. It is a long trail we must take some day, and our degree of comfort or dis comfort will be decided before we start. For man may not reap the pleasure of the next world without earning it while in the land of mortality. We keep our goods on the basis of present market values, what- ever that may be, and you can be assured that quality con sidered, our prices will be right. All this bunk about their great desire to reduce high cost of living prices by city stores is pure buncombe. Keep your money as near home as possible--you may see it Again.

If It disagrees, and Is divided, it degenerates into a number of sep- erate units, without cohesion, and eventually falls. This town is one big family, with many members, or unita.

Washington dispatches tell us that the coal situation is becoming serious. Our own common sense tells us that the lack of coal is becoming more than serious—It will soon be a freezing calamity.* With the advent of suffrage the henpecked husband should breath a profound sigh of relief.

Prices, we are told, are coming down every day. Probably go up a- gain during the night. KEEP ON KEEPING. OH Keep on keeping on, there is plenty to try for; Don’t wring your hands and lie down in despair. Things that you want you have no time to sigh for. While you are moaning another gets there. Things worth the having make effort more pleasing. For the best fruits you have always to elimb. Never give in, though good Fortune be teasing; Keep on keeping on, snd keep on all the time.

PLEASING PROFITS Every farmer is in business for profit, He is interested in anything that will increase his profit. He knows the importance of good seed and well bred stock. He has been talking about it for years. Thought and a little investment pay big dividends in buildings as in stock and seed. When good farm buildings will pay for themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed and machinery in one season—surely they can be called a good investment.
