men can't see or refuse to ap-[ Fathers Day, and even now with
preciate the love and respect J much less solemnity. Mother is

him, and how many sacrifices can give her, but while we are

Just look at our line-up of
ads this week, and judge for
yourselves whether or not Hol-
lis is a good town full of "live
Uttre merchants." It can't be
beaten. We are going to show
, people we are on the map.
"THE OLD MAN"
How often we hear the young
men of today address their fa-
thers thus. Possibly he doesn't
w> liM the disrespect shown in
auieh an expression or it may
be that, he thinks he is making
aa impression of his import-
ance, or showing his disdain for
the dear old name—Father—by
ao doing. But whether it be ig-
norance or lack of respect it is
much to be regretted that young
have a College or University, or
or even a High School educa-
tion; an education that would
enable him to support himself
in greater ease and luxury than
the father has been accustom-
ed, and then to have this much
loved son come home addressing
him as "The Old Man", as tho'
he was nothing more than a
venience, a bank to be drawn on
for the necessities and many of
the luxuries of life.
Ft Worth has set apart a
Father's and Son's week, a get
together week, that if observ d
as it is intended will he a great
thing for both fathers and sons,
and might be well followed by
the cities and villages as well.
When the majority of boys real-
ly get acquainted with DAD
he'll address him by a more af-
fectionate name than "The Old
Man."
Mothers Day has been observ
ed by our people for several
years with the most beautiful
and touching services, but only
has been loving and working for
us just as many years; if we are
forunate enough to have them
both with us. And let's give
"The Old Man" just as square
a deal as we would mother. He
deserves it.
MUTUAL BENEFIT
—By Tice Elkins—
****
We cannot rekindle the morn-
ing beams of childhood; fcrfi can-
I have seen a bird make a lit- j
, tie, round, cozy nest, and then j
J some thoughtless boy would
tear it down; the bird did not
sit on a limb and mourn, nor
say "it is no use;" she went to
work quickly and built another.
Oh Man! here is for you an ex-
ample worthy your emulation, j
God said "Love your neigh-!
bor as you love yourself." Did
you ever tell a lie on yourself?
Did you ever deny yourself food
when hungry? Did you ever
turn a cold shoulder to yourself
when you wanted to do some
good for yourself? Did you ev-
er say "NO" to yourself when
it came to indulging in a pleas-
ure? Did you ever refuse to
put on warm garments when it
was dold? NO. Then fee-care-
ful hpw you deny your neigh-
bor these things, and yet say
you love him.
Somebody said, "God help the
poor, the rich can help themsel-
ves," but I see that Dives was
worse off in riches than Lazar-
us was in rags, so I believe the
rich need Him most.

Economize Wisely
—A Maxwell Car Will Help
Waste is often committed when the in-
tention is to economize.
A Maxwell car, famous for its economy,
will cost you only a few dollars a month to
operate and maintain.
Which is the real economy:
^r. (1) To use the car and
save time, strength, and
mental vigor?
(2) To do without the
c? r, lose time in vour busi-
ness, lose the health gained
from motor''.*?', and worry
yovrtelf into illnesa?
Use of a Maxwell car will give you self
confidence.
Your neighbors and associates will get
mental inspiration from you.
As wave circles widen when a pehble Hits
the water, so will your good example bene-
fit your entire community.
Save—yes; but do it sensibly, and let the
Maxwell help.

GARAGE
the l?st year or two has it been not recall the noontide <k glory
thought necessary to observe a youth; we cannot bring back the
perfect day of maturity; we
cannot fix the evening rays of
age in the shadowy horizon;
but we can cherish that good-
ness which is the sweetest of
childhood, the joy of youth, the
strength of maturity, the honor
of old age, the bliss of saints.
Many people would lil<e to be
good if it was not so much trou-
ble, or did not cost anything,
but to hunger and thirst after
it, they do not. Why not be-
seige the throne for help, and
want righteousness so much
that you will "sell that thou
hast and buy it."
It is not enough to be simply
good; be good for something.
Some people say there cannot
be Triune God, or three in one.
But at the same time they will
admit that snow is water, and
ice i« water and water is water,
I and these three are one.
!
If a man will tell me how
there can be three candles in
one room and vet only one light.
I will then tell him Ijow there
cm be three persons in one God-
IIead.
Sometimes providence, like
Hebrew letters, must be read
backwards.
The grave is a very small hil-
lock. but standing on it. we can
see farther than from the high-
est mountain on earth, if we
look up.
Habit is an awful thing; and
every wrong deed is but another
cord woven into the chain of
evil habit that binds the soul to
the throne of darkness.
'
When a home is ruled Accord-
ing to God's word, angels might
be asked to stay a night with
us. and they would not find
themselves out of their element
nor would the host and hostess
feel embarrassed to have them.
Men mock at the Bible as a
book of good government but
there is only one rule of free
government not found therein:
that of the writ of Habeas-Cor-
ous. and that is lacking because
in those days the Jews allowed
no imprisonment.
HOG WALLOW NEWS
Nearly every town has a mer-
chant that uses a goose-quill
tooth-pick and does not adver-
tise.
Tobe Moseley says he will ad-
mit that snow is beautiful, tho'
he would like to have it in a real
good photograph when his eyes
want to feast on it.
Slim Pickens says he'd hate to
be a frog, especially when the
pond is frozen over.
Jefferson Potlocks' wagon
broke down in the road near Rye
Straw the other day. The col-j
lapse did not come as a shock j
as the wagon had been in a de-
clining condition for some time.
If everybody would go to the
stores while trade is dull they
would avoid the,rush.
Miss Fruzie Allsop don't see
how the poets are going to get
through the winter if they don't
sop writing so much free verse.
The Tickville jail has been
empty for some time past. The
town marshal has been busy do-
ing something el-e; and besides, (
he got discouraged, as nearly i
everybody he arrested would
say they were not guilty,.
The \Y'!d Onion school teach-
er yearns for a.two-story school
house so that he can take up the
higher branches of learning.
A train would never get any-
where if itJcoled along and let
the passengers talk to people
standing in the doorways along
the route.
Atlas Peck says not many
men will tolerate five or six
pairs of sox of the same color.
The public is suspicious of many
things, and the report would
straightway get current that he
had but one pair.
Sile Kildew says some days
it appears that everybody is
good, and then maybe the very
next day something will turn up
to make it appear like a good
per cent are bad.
Atlas Peck wonders where all
the switches are that used to be
the great indoor necessity dur-
ing every school term; and Poke
Easlev says they have all grown
into fishing poles.
Raz Barlow found a pint of
.Md iicker in an old goods box a
few days ago, and Slim Pilkens,
ivho had a good position at a
saw mill over on Gander Creek
has resigned and is now buying
up al the old goods boxes.
. The Horse Doctor of the Can
Ribs neighborhood has prescril>
ed horse-back riding for the ail-
ments of Miss Hostetter Hocks.
Heretofore she has been riding
a mule. ^
The conductor of the Tickville.
train has suspended the train
until the weather gets better.
He says the train crew gets so
much a trip and under present
conditinos the trips are too few.
He also says there is so much
complaining about the service it
is plafn the public does not ap-
preciate his efforts.
When the' editor of the Tick-
ville Tidings wants some right
quiet place to concentrate his
mind and think, he goes down
to the depot between trains.
Slim Pickens climbed up into
the loft of the Hog Ford church
last Sunday and peeped through
a knot hole at the preacher.
In a discussion of the outcome
of the income tax. on a stump
near the postoffice the ether day
Jefferson Potlocks rendered a
decission that it was another
law made especially for the fel-
lows with money, just like most
laws.
