Boost Tow Neighbor.
Here ia a little rule for the
New Year which will help you
and help your neighbors: In
apeaking about anybody put the
good word last. Dou't say
"Neighbor Jones is public-spirit
ed, I'll admit, but he is mighty
high tempered." Say "Neigh-
bor Jones is rather high-temper
ed, of course, but he is a man
who is helping the neighborhood
forward " Don't say, "Tom
Brown is a hard working fellowv
and good hearted, I reckou,
but he has been mighty low
down, wild and drinking " In-
stead say, "Tom Brown got
pretty low ouce, wild and drink
ing, but now he's a hard work
ing, good hearted citizen " lit
other words, wind up with the
emphasis on the good trait rath
er than the bad one.
Or better still, when you hear
somebody's name mentioned ami
it's on the tip of your tongue to
refer to some blunder or failing
you know about, just try chok
ing it down a few times, leaving
it unsaid, and see if you don't
feel better inside. Then next
time go a little further and try
speaking of some good deed h«
has done instead of mentioning
the time be made a mistake (even
though you yourself have never
made any mistakes), and see if
you don't feel happier still.
If the farmers in any neigh
borhood will begin to boost one
one another's worthy deeds they
will soon find themselves living
in a better neighborhood than
ever be/ore- and the fine i>art
about it is that by adopting this
method, they will find themselves
living in a better neighborhood
without having to move from
where they are!

School Debater
Friday afternoon January 29,
the faculty and students of the
Rita schools enjoyed a tramp
through the woods to Rita where
the Literary Society of our
school had been invited to hold
a joint meeting with the Society
of the Hix school, and a very in-
teresting program was rendered
by the two schooljtf. Interested
patrons from botüh schools attend-
ed. The mo/it interesting feature
of the program was the debate-
t le question being, 'Resolved,
That the three Schools of this
District Should be< o isolidated."
The affirmative side of the ques-
tion was ably discussed by Miss
Bernice and Bill Geqnan, and
the negative by Miss Inez Ger-
man and Wade Martin. The neg-
ative won jby a tight squeeze.
On the return trip the Rita peo-
ple had to face the rain, but the
enjoyment o: the trip thorough-
ly conii>ensaU < for this slight
unpleasantness. We are planning
another such occasion when Hix
comes to Rita. Attendent.

Must Have Help
Uncle Sam says he must have
help. He wants stenographers
for his office in Washington, and
throughout many of the South
ers States, at entrance salaries
of from $840 to #12(X> per annum.
He has some vacancies i n his
Phiilipine ofltces and in Panama
for which he i>ays an entrance
salary of $1200 to $1500 |>er year.
He advances on merit, if you are
competent you will soon draw a
most attractive salary and only
work from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m.,
with thirty days, vacation during
the year with pay. Five differ-
ent examinations were held here
in our city during the past year
by Civil Service Department, to
secure help for the Government.
Sj>ecial letters were received by
our school, urging that our grad-
uates take these examinations.
We prepare students to pass ex-
aminations for several depart-
ments for Government work.
Owing to America being the
great- department store of the
world during the Kuropean war,
I'nele Sam will need far more
help tlys year than ever before.
Young men and women, ambi-
tions to succeed should give this
Civil Service work prompt and
serious consideration. The pos
ition is certain, the salary good
and the pay sure.
Business men desi ring efficient

raphers, secretaries or operators

SYMPTOAS
Slight Symptoms Sometimes
Presage Serious Results.
Do you feel tired, have you a
! sallow complexion, constipation,
headache, bad breaths sleepless-
ness or circles around your
eyes? if so, you are undoubted-
ly suffering from some liver com-
plaint.
Perhaps you don't feel very
bad now, hut delay is danger-
ous. To allow your liver to con-
tinue out of order, is to invite a
1 serious chronic illness.
Whenever you have the slight
i est symptoms of liver trouble,
; stop it immediately. You can
do it harmlessly and mildly by j
taking Liv-Ver-Lax, the natural
vegetable compound that is re-
placing calomel everywhere. It
has all the effectiveness, not the
I effect of calomel. Insist on get-
ting the original Liv-Ver-Lax,,
j bearing the likeness and signa
lure of L. K. Grigsby, which is
guaranteed to give satisfaction
j or money refunded. For sale by
