A RISKY OCCUPATION
The most risky occupation today
appears to be that of a gasoline sta-

mobile traffic is the extension of bill-
boards thruout rural districts. The
country districts are blotched with
them. One cannot drive anywhere
without having his eye constantly
insulted by the billboard nuisance.
Scenery is spoiled.
The mind is constantly diverted

goods, automobiles, radios, oils, etc.
Sometimes these boards are a menace
to safety when placed close to cor-
ners, which make it quite impossible
to see the traffic approaching on the

A GOOD TOWN
Put a peg of prosperity into your
community by -staying with it.
Always greet your neighbors with
a grasp of confidence.
Criticize in the spirit of Godspeed. | ¢
Say a good word if it hurts. Re-
member that those who insist on
hanging themselves will do it if given
enough rope.
Give your neighbor

he keeps it to
Discuss questions involving your
better welfare instead of arguing a-
bout them.
Abply the Golden Rule regardless

the young people.
Give the young plenty of pleasure.
Failures reflect on the entire town.
See what you can do to keep your

Grain feeding is necessary when
Cows are on pasture if milk yield is
large. Cows giving more than 20
pounds of milk daily should have
grain if grass is abundant. A common
rule is one pound of grain to each
