Go into a church and sit down. Stay sit until the end of the service and keep your ears open and your mind on what the preacher is saying. Then go home and think over what he had to say. Don’t give his words just a passing thought and then let your mind slide back into the old financial groove. Take his discourse subject by sub ject and analyze it thoroughly. Pick out the good points and study them minutely as you discover them. You can spend several hours very pleas antil in this work, and at the end of that time you may be amazed at the feeling of peace and contentment that pervades your being. You will find that there are many things you knew that had been for gotten for /thlese many years, and when they pass from memory their value practically ceases to exist. Go to church Easter! Set an example to the young people of your family and of other people's families. Let them judge you by what you are, and not by what others may have to say to you. Let your own actions afford them the opportunity for so judging. There's a church around the corner, and the door swings outward to every human being. The hand of welcome beckons to you, and the still voice of conscience is calling to you. Go in, and sit down, and listen, and think, and then act. OPPORTUNITY OR YOU. Some people are always waiting for opportunity to take them by the hand. It never does, and it never will. Opportunity is ever with us, it is by our side, it dogs our steps, it never leaves us. But it never reaches out its hand. We must do the reaching, the grasping, the improving. Don’t sit still and wait for oppor tunity to come to you. Go out and hunt it, and hunt till you find it. It is flirting with you every day in the year, every hour of the day. One of your greatest opportunities lies in what you may accomplish in aid of your home town, for what is good for the town is even better for you. If you want your town to do something for you, you should first do something for the town. Oppor tunity believes in that, and greets the one who does it. Don’t expect to receive everything and give nothing. Opportunity does not approve of that, will not sanction it, will not lend its aid and encourage ment. Only fools expect that, and fools seldom step beyond the shadow of their own foolishness. The wise man makes his own op portunity, and that begets other and greater opportunities, and they breed success. Your future is not up to opportuni ty—it is up to you. THEY LOOK BAD. When you walk along the street and see the gutters strewn with re fuse, it looks bad. When you see empty bottles deco rating the dark corners, that looks bad—and suspicious. When you see papers blowing around over town it indicates that people are thoughtless and careless. It is bad. When you see broken glass around under foot it is pure negligence, and is both bad and dangerous. When you see kitchen garbage! dumped into the back yard or tossed over the fence, it looks bad and smells worse. When you see vacant property littered with debris of every nature, it, too, looks bad—is offensive to the mind as well as to the eye. When you see a back yard littered wjith the accumulations of months and of years, it looks worse than bad. When you see a front yard down at the heels and going to seed, you wonder—but, then, we'll let you finish the sentence. Just how bad are we, anyway? Politely speaking, in the matrimon ial market money is the connecting link between the cradle and the grave. In vulgar English, it enables a dodder ing old millionaire buck to buy a doll faced chicken for a wife. Villa has been killed so many times the public will not believe it when the cuss really does stretch hemp. These are the days when the politi cal orator loves all the world and covets what it has to give. It will be a crime against nature if the war deprives us of the dyes for our Easter eggs. What, you wonder, does your neigh bor think of you? Your own actions tell the story. Come on with the next thriller. Even our own little war is becoming stale. The man who thinks only of self wastes his thoughts upon a poor sub ject. MORE ADVICE. Does the vote give you the blues? Forget it; Did you make the race and lose? Forget it. Were you given cuffs and kicks, Victim of man’s unkind tricks? That’s the game of politics.— Forget it. Does this seem a world of sin? Forget it. Are your spirits dark within? Forget it. Do all men prevaricate? Are all liars? Is that straight? This your course at any rate— Forget it. Follow not the beaten road— Forget it; Cast aside your heavy load— Forget it. How you hraved the wind and sun When you thought that you could run How the other fellow won— Forget it. Try Chase’s first—it pays. ROUTE 2, LOUP CITY Mrs. John Czarnek is still no bettor.

The ground never worked better before. It has been cool for the horses to work in the fields. Winter wheat in the stalks looks good. Winter wheat on plowed land needs a rain soon. Some oats coming up and some will never come until a rain. Pas tures and everything needs a good rain. The subsoil is wet. Some po tatoes planted. Alfalfa is nice and green all over. The farmers of today are taking more pains in getting their crop ground ready and it pays. I no tice in plowing the land for corn so many never leave the fields after plow ing all day until they have harrowed the days’ work. The harrow is a big moisture saver. Miss Emma Rowe came very near teaching the Hawk district on route two next year. This district offered her sixty dollars a month but the district she has been teaching in for the past five vears. said, we will give her live dollars more making it sixty live per month. This district known as the Moon district knows the value of a good teacher. Miss Rowe ranks among the best teachers in Sherman county and from reports she deserves a good salary. The Rowe girls were all the best of teachers. Carrier has a warm spot in his heart for this dis trict for we went to school there one term thirty years ago, Morris Lyhnne was teacher at the time. We remem ber while attending this school of see ing five deer come down the slope of the hill where Mr. Pinckney lives now. We also remember that the deer stayed all night just over the hill from Mr. Knight’s place. The next morning Mr. Knight took his long range rifle and in company of the carrier and several others, we all cautiously went over the hill and came close onto the deer in a deep pocket. I guess Mr. knight must have been excited for he never touched one of them. Every time you could see the rifle balls strike the ground a few feet behind. It was only a short time after this that they were all hunted and killed. These were the last deer said to be in Sherman county. WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP Mrs. Elmer Bridges visited at J. H.

Look for this label. Certgm-teed Roofing lowers the cost of building CERTAIN-TEED offers a substantial saving in roof construction, at this or any other time. It costs less to buy, less to lay, less to maintain and less per year of life. Because of tremendous pro duction (the General makes one third of all the roll roofing made in America), and because of economies effected by enormous re sources, modern machinery and favorably located mills, the General is able to make the best roofing at the lowest cost. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is the General’s own product—from the raw materials to the finished rolls, it is made in the General’s huge mills. It is made of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with the General’s own blend of soft asphalts and coated with an impervious covering of harder asphalts. This keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process so destruc tive to ordinary roofing. That’s why CERTAIN-TEED outlasts other roofing. It is guaranteed for 5,10 or 15 years, according to ply. Experience proves that it lasts longer. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers everywhere at reasonable prices.
