The mun who neglects to shut the

Now is the time for all forehanded

"What is home without a paper?"
A home without a newspaper is no
home at all. It is a kind of dreary

who do not know who is president or
what he is president of-who never
find out that, a thing has happened
until long after everyone else has for
got ten it. The children grow up in
rags and dirt, while the wife generally
finds consolation in darning socks and
lugging a pipe loaded with long, green
tobacco, and the man generally lives
because he can't die and he is too lazy
to kill himself. lie goes out on elec
tion days and does not know who he is
voting for, but just takes the ticket
bearing the name his great-great
grandfather voted for.

"If I were back home- and I am

FLASHLIGHTS
A man has to tell only one lie to be
branded as a first-class liar.
The Hun is finally waking up to the
fact that It is the last victories which
count.
A true friend knows that a slander
about you isn't true, and if it ia true
he knows there was a good reason for
It.
One mian's opinion is just as good
as another's, but th:ut doesn't keep
both men from thinking theirs io bet
ter.
Some men are hustlers, and oth
ers rush through a job to find out
how fast they can do it, not how
well.
The reason there are so many fail
ures Is because there are so many men
who think they can succeed without
doing any of the hard work re
quired.
It takes some men a long time to
discover that their rights and the
rights of others frequently clash,
and when that happens courtesy not
just iee has to rule.
Parents who leave their children
to h-e taught by strangers shouldn't
complain afterwards if they discov
er that they've learned things they
dlidnf't want them to know.
