A bit of jealousy, perhaps, in some cases. Some folks dislike to sec oth ers go ahead nnd attain prominence in community organizations. They regard theinsclve • as equally temptd to carp at others who rc, capable of lcedership, hence feel given rcsponsiblity. Yet they would not probably take off their own coats and put in the hard licks the other fellow is giving. A desire to air their own wit, »metimes. They are like the idle man sitting in the cool shade, to whom the sweating worker in the corn field may often seem grotesque. Swollen ideas sometimes. Some folk visit great cities and come home sore because their home town has no skyscrappers or other metropolitan to abor, an’ you’ll notice ev’ry day, sh the cobwebs from yer eyes, stop developments.

People who keep up a running fire of detraction against those who are attempting to do community work, are about as welcome as a rain storm on Picnic day. They tend to make people give up their hopes and settle into the dull routine of yesterday. Communities are carried ahead by faith and enthusiasm. One plain man who loves his home town so much that he always talks of its achieve ments rather than its defects, but who quietly takes hold to remove First: I have my own help—own family. faults, is worth a dozen superior in- telects who are always analyzing the Second: I haul my own goods—own truck. things without taking any action.

It is said that one sign of eavesdropping is the re ceding tone of the speaker’s voice. Some one has “cut in.’’ Acting on this hint, a woman who had her sus picious aroused said to her friend suddenly: “Some one is listening.’’ Instantly, frorp nowhere in particular in »strange voicd, cnme an indignant exclamation: "I’m not doing any such a thing.” Stop yer kickin’ ’bout the times, get a hustle on you I Skirmish ’round and grab the dimes, ef the dollars shun you.
