"Ah, new car.
How's the pick-
up?"
"Haven't had
much chance to
try it yet. My
wife rides with
roe most of the
time."
When you are
caught, it doesn't
help matters to get
angry aboiit it.
Booster: The Dr.
says if I eat sweets
I'll get worms. Now wan't that
be delightful?
MOTHER OF MINE.
(Mother's Day, May 8, 1927)
''Mother of mine, through all the
changing years-
Time's nsirrow bridge, that
serves to span
The pass ,twixt two eternities—
a mau /.
Now grown to full estate, with
hopes and fears
And joy and trials such as come
to all,
Will ever shine within his heart
the thought
Of your nobility, true and
constant, fraught
With helpful deeds and motives
pure. How st^all,
How meager a return can 1
bbstow
For dll your loving thoughts,
your tender care;
UuseHish ever! All I am I owe
To you. Aud so, dear, it is my
prayer
That peace and joy be yours, and
sorrows few,
With loved ones spared to bless
and cherish you."
This weeks "pomo:" Ilecalled
her Lily, Violet. Rose, and every
other flower of spring. She said:
'*! can'o bo all of those, so you
must. Lilac everything!"
Two nf'groes were arguing.
"You ain't got uo sense,'' said
One.
"No sense. Deri what's dis
hpad o' mine for?"
"Head? Dat's no head nigger.
Dat's jW a but.tou on top of yo'
body to keep yo' backbone from
traveling."
The thing that keeps most peo-
ple broke is trying to inake other
people think they're not broke.
MOTHER
(Mother's Day Sunday May 8th)
The red of the rose, the blue of
the sky,
The white of the milky way
The song of the lark in the morn-
ing hour
The dove call at close of day!
Thotfrtiell of the grass in the
meadow,
The Glory of God on the throne,
The ripple of brooks in the moun-
tain,
Thff love of Christ for his own;
The beauty of lijzht at midnight,
In the star that illumines the
sky,
The lite of the world in the day
time,
That comes from the auu on
high:
Of the Linden Independent School District
the Years 1924 and 1925.

White Ants Storm a Town.
Julian Neb.—The destruction
of Julian is threatened by white
African ants, which have attack-
ed the town in millions. Two
churches, their parsonages and
the public school building have
been abandoned while a fight
with cyanide fumes is made on
the insects. A half dozen homes
have been damaged.
The insects made their appear-
ance here two years ago. but at-
tracted little attention. Julian
is off the trans continental high-
ways and far from the beaten
track. How the insects, which
| have been identified as the ter-
mes bellicosa of Central Africa,
came to Julian is a mystery.
The insects attack a board,
beam, flooring or other piece of
wood and eat out the inside
leaving nothing except a shell
the thickness of cardboard.
In that manner they ate floor-
ing in thehomeofCharle8 E. Pier
postmaster. His piano fell
through the floor.
The frame work of the United
Brethren church and the wood-
work of the new brick school
building were found gutted.
Scientists who have studied
the# ant in Africa report the
queens lay about 100,000 eggs
daily. There are many broods
tfith queens here.
In Africa the term'es bellicosa
attacks animals as well as houses
So far no animals have been at-
tacked in Julian, except mice and
rats. However the ants have
eateu clotbiug, hymn books in
the churches, and in some houses
have eaten furniture.—Kansas

Sparks From the
Editor's Anvil.
He i9 truly rich who knows
how to enrich ethers.
A church iu politics is as bad
as politics in the church.
LoVe is greater than law, for
"love is the fulfillment of the
law."
He only is happy who brings
gladness and cheer to other
hearts.
Truth is mightier than tyran-
ny, for "the truth shall make
you free."
The government that takes
advantage of law to suppress
the trdtb, destroys its own fu-
ture.
Political repression produces
hatred, hatred provokes injus-
tice, and injustice is the root
cause of war.
The absence of the golden
rule in the life develops the big-
ot, the tyrant, the persecutor;
and the slave-master.
A religion that cannot stand
on its own bottom without state
support, deserves to descend to
the bottomless pit.
It ic jujt as impossible to
transform a sinner into a saint
by law as it is to legislate an
Ethiopiau into a Caucasian.
Anarchy always comes as a
result of tyranny; and tyranny
usually follows in the wake of
anarchy. The two seem to be
inseperable. A recognition of
human rights is an antidote for
both tyranny and anarchy.
America has demonstrated this
wonderful truth.
Those who are afraid to cham-
pion an unpopular truth, have
usually more concern for their
own personal popularity than
for the welfare of the people.
A church that relies upon the
civil law for support is like an
old man leaning on a broken
reed,—iu constant danger of its
piercing his body.
To stop a person from talking
when he lua a grievance is as
dangerous as sealiug the crater
of Vesuvius—an explosion is in-
evitable,
The Word of God, when cloth-
ed in civil instead of spiritual
armour, becomes an engine of
tyranny in the hands of ty-
rants.—Liberty.
