KEEP YOIUR OWN HOUSE -0 The hatrdest housekeepting in the world is the houscekeeping that we do for our neighbors. Halt of the (roubles hat 1 roultle us are caused by worrying about what other people think. What differ ence does it make what they think anyv ay? No one can live his life and two or three other people's lives he sitles. So whliat's the use of setting up housekeeping on the roofs or on the outside walls for the bIenefit of the neighbors? You would rightly he jud:ged insane if you suggested anything of the kind, and that is practically what halt the people do. T'hey can't do this because the neighbors would talk. and they can't do10 that hecausce Ithe neigh bors wonder if they can afford it h They may not say so in so many words, but they mean it, and it is siIImply a great big vacuum in some of our natures where moral courage ought to be. Half the sting of poverty or of small means is gone when one keeps house for himself and not for his neighbors. 0 IS YOUR MIND YOUR OWN? ------o---- We often hear people miake the remark, "I have a 1111ind of my own." Literally speaking, yes. But othlerwise, NO We can demonstrate the truth of the latter statement by referr ing to your own actions, by the Iactions of your friends, and the neighblors, by the actions of the ,public in general. We contend that no mnan has a mind wholly and absolutely his own in the generally accepted, sense of the word. No man forms his own conclusions and reflec tions, although many sincerely be - lieve they do. One simple illustration is near ly enough to prove the correctness 1 of our contention. i Mr. Nameless is one of our cit izens who "has a mind of his Sown." At least he says he has, and lie really believes what he says. tie walks along our streets day by day. Glaring defects in our municipal system stare him in the - face. He sees them not-or seeing tlhem, fails to heed theni. His mIinds is not concerned. Another citizen comes along points them out, starts an agita tion that grows, and Mr. Nameless immediately comes to life and joins the throng with lusty shouts for improvement-A F T ER the othlier fellow has done the work. The mind of Mr. Nameless is just like the minds of nearly every human being-it can be swayed by other minds, just as readily ., the work of his mind can inf ence the minds of others. A mind that is worth having is always susceptible to change, to conviction, to revision superin dlucedl by the wisdom emanating from other minds. A mind that is wholly its own is no mind at all-It's an afflic tiod. Subscribe to the Journal. MARBLEMoDORANlt 1ONUMENIS." ALL DESIGNS AND PRICES Willard Kimball Phone 34 Welsh, La.

Mrs. Nora Jacobs Mrs. George Jacobs passed to her reward after on operation of appendicitis at Jennings on the 27th. She leaves a husband and a ten year old son with a host of brothers and sisters and friends. to mourn their loss. Out of the silence a still small voice whisper ed, "Nora Jacobs is dead." The book of memory opens and the leaves twirl backward for full 20 years, over the path of life that leads from youth of age, and as the pages turn one can recall I many kind deeds rendered by her. Now She has joined the throng that has passed out of sunshine through the shadows, and on to the great light, and so another life story is ended; another soul has gone into the midst; another body is placed beneath the sod; another face by heart sad loved ones kissed; another woman has gone to meet her God. May the day be dark, nor the path weary whither she has gone, may she rest forever in the radiant smile of the blessed Savior. The Journal staff joins in sympathy with the family. A. GLEANOR.
