The sun shines upon every home
but if family clouds obscure it It can
not enter
If the husband Is considerate of
the wife and the wife Is solicitous
of the husband and both endeavor
to promote the happiness and con-
tentment of the children It will be
rn ideal home though it be without
rold with the sun always shining and
no clouds to chill the warmth of its
lays
Open the door of your heart and
let the sunshine In

AS THK EDITOR SEES IT
“I don’t like that bird'
How often have you made that re-
mark upon ahort acquaintance?
No one can read the heart of ano-
ther person the first time he looks
into his eyes
First impressions are often reliable
but at limes they are lamentably in
error Occassioually they result in
gieat Injury to the person who is so
hastily judged
Every person is entitled to a fair
npportunity1n which to demonstrate
his or her mental and moral fitness
They are notaccorded that oppor-
tunity when Judgment is hastily ren-
dered ‘This as a h 1 of a place”
We once heard a fellow make such
a remark about a neighboring town
— and a fairly good town at that
Investigation disclosed a few in-
teresting facts
The man was a chronic kicker
He was a confirmed loafer
He was an Inordinate brag
He considered only one side of a
question
He was Intolerant of opinions that
were at variance with bis own
Like the recruit in the parade
everybody but him was out of step
Home day he will be gone but the
town will still be there
He will not be missed because he
never does anything worth remem-
bering Ours is a good town
O
Nobody likes to talk about war
Nobodylikes to anticipate it
Nobody wants to get into It
Nobody wants it
That’s the reason we are never
prepared for it when It comes
And being unprepared It’s an easy
matter for other countries to ‘‘pick
on us" and force us into it against
our will
Toothless dogs have to do much
ar the other dogs desire
Why not have a sharp tooth?
O
A soft reply saves many a family
jar
Family jars lead to serjous trouble
Serious trouble leads to the divorce
courts
Divorce courts are being too freely
patronised for the good of the family
elation
Speak softly and say little There
will be lesi occasion lor an angry retort
MAKING MEN OK HOYS
When Genetal Baden Powell star-
ted the Boy Scout movement he was
quietly ridiculed by many incredulous
people
Today he Is regarded as a benefac-
tor of the human race
Every one knows that you ' can
take a weakling put hint In the army
and keep him there for a few years
and he will come out a reasonably
strong and healthy man It Is the
rigid and systematiemilit ary training
that does it
The training accorded the Boy
Scouts is much along the lines of that
pursued In the army with sufficient
ariation to appeal to the Juvenile
mind
There Is a surplus of enthusiasm
bottled up In every boy’s chest that
requires an escape valve
If there is a Boy Scout organiza-
tion in town It affords the necessary
outlet
If there Is no such organization the
boy will find an outlet elsewhere — on
the street "with the gang” or possi-
bly In some kind of mischief dear to
the young heart
Boys will be boys until they grow
(o man’s estate The manner of
their growth however depends upon
the manhood and the womanhood of
today
Every town should have a Boy-
Scout company
They produce better men and
thereby elevate ther ace in general
NOT SO GOOD NOW
If a man owes you a thousand dol-
lars Is honest and willing but una-
ble to make prompt payment you do
not hestitate to grant hint the nec-
essary time In which to meet his ob-
ligation But if that man were to Insistently
importune you to cancel the debt
what would you think of him?
That la the position some of the
countries across the water are in to-
day — France In particular
The allies owe us eleven billions
of dollars England Is making pre-
parations to pay ud as rapidly as qe
can but France 1 eternally whining
in an effort to hare the debt canceled
We had a good opinion of France
in the days of Lafayette
It Is not so good now
Candidates for the city office are
beginning to “come out of the brush"
although the election is a couple of
months off Nothing much has been
said about the mayor's rsce but
there has been considerable talk
about the contest for city marshal
Austin Whitaker present Incumbent
will be a candidate again and will
be opposed it is said by John Birch-
field former sheriff Another can-
didate talked of is Delbert Qualls

Making Plans for §
Spring Building
Nothing much is coming from Repub-
lican tanks but it is quite likely the
republicans will come forth with a
candidate when the time conus
For city clerk Hugh E Rogers will
be a candidate for second term and
it Is said that Wm If Bell will op-
pose him In the primary
THE FINE ART OF KISSING
(A Wlze Gie in Lincoln County Re-
publican) People will kiss! Yet only one
Ip a thousand knows how to extract
the maximum of bliss from ruby lips
And yet It is simple at least for Un-
initiated Follow these directions
for best results:
First know with whom you ate
clinching — don’t make any mistake!
although a mistake may be a good
one
Don't jump like a rat for a mouse
and atnack the dainty thing on the
arm or in the ear or on the head
Do not be in a hurry!
The gentleman should be taller al-
though this Isn't absolutely lines
sary He should have a clean face
a kindly eye and a mouthful of ex-
pression Don't be anxious to kiss In a crowd
Two are plenty to corner and nab a
kiss more would spoil the fun
Take the left hand of the fenuilt
in your right Let your hat go to
hell! Throw your left arm over the
shoulder of the lady and slip It
around to her right side below hi r
arm
Do not be in a hurry!
Her left arm is in your right- let
there be a faint pressure on that not
like the grip of a vise but a gentle
clasp full of thought respect and elec-
tricity Do not be in a hurry!
Her head lies lightly on jour
shoulder You are heart to heart
Look deep into her half-closed orbs
Gently but firmly press her to jour
vest Stand firm be brave but do
not be in a hurry! Her lips are al-
most open lean slightiv with your
head take careful aim — the lips meet
the eyes close the heart opens the
roul rides through tempests but do
not be in a hurry! Heaven opens
before you the earth flies from under
you like a blazing rocket across the
evening sky Don’t be afraid No
fuss no noise no fluttering nt
squirming You are twanging the
golden chords of ecstary
But do not be in a hurry!
