THE FARM BOY WINS
Again it U the American farm boy that has startled
the world by his skill and daring and overnight become
the here of the decade.
Charles Lindbergh was an ordinary farm boy with
aa ambition. He wanted to be the greatest flyer of bit
age. He studied long and dilligently. He wee backward
and reticent aa moat farm boye are. He disliked pub-
licity bat be bed in bis said- the daring to do great
things. . The great newspapers and the press gathering
agencies were caught snwnry by this eon of the sod.
They hardly had-a decent picture cf him. They didn't
believe that he eonid do it. They thought ho woe Jnet
another 'fool flyer that would go down in the giant
wastes of the Atlantic nnknown and unsang. But Lind-
bergh won. - For nearly forty hoars he eat alone in Ms
flying' cage and held the keel of hie ship tine. Now Ms
fortune and Ms fame are made forever. It was Alvin
York a farm boy from the hills of Tennessee that be-
came the greatest hero -of the world war. Yon can al-
. ways depend upon the American farm boy to do the
great tMngs that are to be done. .

. PARSONS HAS OPPORTUNITY
On July 1 W. W. Parsons will be sworn in as comity
commissioner for the northern district of Grady County.
Pexaoni has an opportunity for real service to the peo-
ple of the county. Ho is elected for a six year term. He
can map oat a policy and pursue it without having to
trim or hedge for political support Ho wee elected with-
out having to make promises or pledges that will hamp-
er his whole term. Hie inauguration as commissioner
will mark a change in the business affairs of the county.
McEIroy and Parsley have run the county for the past
sir years. The comity commissioner of the central dis-
trict has had little to say in the red! conduct of the
countys business. The northern and southern district
have ran the county. Wo believe that Parsons will
cooperate with the comity commissioner of the central
'district to work out a plan that will be a real change
from the ayetem of the past and erork a real forward
movement in the handling of the countys business.' The
people of the northern district worked and voted for o
change and we believe that Parsons win give it to them.
WHEN FISH BITE " ' V
The editor of the Star hoe finally solved the problem
of when fish bite. They only bite oneday a week and
you have got to bo there on that day or you don't get the
fish. For one week the editor of the Star camped on
the banka of Lake Lawtonka. Every day dilligently at
the breaking of day ho hiked over the rocks with a hope-
ful heart and east Me hook far out. Fy five days ho
came hack sore in body and spirit and with no proven-
der far the day's appetite. Finally Saturday morning
he sallied forth with no hope and little courage. But he
would moke one lost try. He would not hove ft said
toot he had not dene Me beet. He cast out not so farJ
not so bouyantiy aa of the previous mornings. But V
there was the tug end the tightening of line that brings
Joy to a fishermans souL Two eroppiM wore impaled
ou Ms hook. So hungry wars the fish that they fought
for the honor of getting caught And tar tan hours
the croppies were haled from the depths of the swelling
water. Wo got the limit and sow wo are going to
work out a schedule of when the fizh.Mte and When we
do that our piece in history will be secure.

The average married man wouldnt worry about his
wife wearing her skirts a little shorter if she'd only
wear her dresses a little longer. '

One tiling is certain if Coolidge wants to be renomi-
nated tar the presidency he can get it. No men can
beat a president for renomination in the republican par-
ty. There is always the solid south to be depended
upon to deliver several hundred delegates fa a republi-
can convention for any one that hands out the political
plums. Theodora Roosevelt as popular as he 'wss could
not beat President Taft when he wanted to be renomina-
ted. So the republican candidates Will await the decis-
ion at the- president. If he decides he doesnt cere tor
' another term there will be a scramble for the republican
nomination that will make A Smith and McAdoo burry.
If Coolidge announces be will ran again the republican
convention will be a mere formality
WHO. IS A FRIEND?
Who is a friend? I will tell you. He is a person with
whom you dare to bo yourself. Your soul can go naked
with him. Ho ooem to ask of you to put on nothing'
only to be what you ora. He does not want you to be
better or worse. When you art with Mm you tod as a
prisoner tods who has bam declared innocent. You do
not hav to be on your guard '. You can say what you
tMnk so long as it is genuinely you. Ho understands
those contradictions fa your nature that load other to
misudge you. With him you breaths free. You can
avow your little vanities and envies and hates and vic-
ious sparks your meanness and absurdities and in
opening them up to Mm they ax lost dissolved ou toe
white ocean of his loyalty. Be understands. You do
not have to be earefuL You can abuse him neglect him
tolerate Mm. Beat of all you can keep still with him.
It makes no matter. He likes you. Ho is lika fire that
puiges all you do He is like water that cleanses all
that you say. ' He is like wine that warms yon to the
bone. He understands yon. -Yon can weep with him
laugh with him pray with him. Through and under-
neath it all ha aces knows and loves yon. A friend I
repeat is one with whom you dare to bo yourself and
whom you can trust Anonymous.
. Bril friends lika good books si rare.
And should be chosen with much care.

lished a house for the purpose at developing right standards of courtesy
hospitality and social graces etc ell necessary fa the successful manage-
ment of a homo. They have secured a house such a one se would be used
by a family at moderate moons and Instruct pupils how to taka care of it.
They have a house manager who plane menus dace marketing presides
