Docs Robert Breedlove? Now-a-clays Robin Banks is too common. I ) »c Richard Bell ring true. Nothing will grow on Elmer Rockhill. We bet it hogs could talk they would say, “I.cs Waller in the mud.” 1 never pass an Appleby. Almost every trade is represented in Simpson: there is a Butler, a Plummer, a Sexton, a Gardner, a Barber, a Shepherd, and a Miller. ( Bell chiefly responsible for this offense.) T HOLT,UTS Inestimable is the power of good thoughts. Wholesome, progressive thinking in youth lays the foundation for a successful future. Gold which we may put in our pockets is worthless as coni| ared to the thoughts which we put into our mind. man is judged by his actions; but a thought precedes each action. A kind thought i» the forerunner of a kind deed. The average man is dominated by his thoughts, and these thoughts will either make or break him. Some hold that a thought is a mental irritation. I rather think that a thought, provided it is a good one. is a mental inspiration. A thought is a powerful tool when in the hands of a skilled workman. We should always mold our thoughts carefully, for they in turn mold us. “As a man thinks, so is he. Felix Robb. --□--- MY JOURNAL I wish you had never come my way. My hate grows stronger every day; Ah! just to read you. tear you. fling you away— Just wait, old Journal, I’ll get even some day And R. W. Greene, too, Did’st know that you Mad given me something to do; That I’ll make you rue. When I’m a man! I’ll take the Journal and cut her And throw the pages in the gutter. And storm and make R. W. shudder And mayhap fling him in a gutter— When I’m a man! (Please use discretion—Woodrow Weaver) Nineteen Hundred Thirty-one
