Ilave you forgotten this one? Spring has came, Winter has went, It.was not did by accident; The birds have flew As you have saw, And spring has came To Arkansas. ***

And here is one worth repeating: ft doesn't do a bit of harm ft never causes much alarm

To grin.

To smile.

Men have been known to laugh Yet win, With cheerfulness to do their tasks The while.

So, if you like your job

As you pursue it; And feel like smiling, why, my boy Go to it.

:k :k

And here is a little thought worth while: Look forward-not back. Look upward-not down. Have faith in your countryAnd lend a hand.

The injunctions we hear and read so frequently lately against indulgence in idle talk and the repeating of war rumors, remind us of what one Alexander Pope wrote long ago, as follows:

"The flying rumors gathered as they rolled, Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told, And all who told it, added something new, And all who heard it, made enlargements, too."

Ilere is a sentiment that will appeal: There's lots of us old fellows, Too old to go and fight, No sons to represent us, And battle for the right. But we can give our money, As we never did before, And love-and hope-and courageTo the boy next door. ***

Robert E. Lee once said: "We can, with calm satisfaction, trust in God, and leave results to Him."

Abe Lincoln said, during one of the darkest days of the Civil War: "A firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, is still competent to adjust, in the best way, our present difficulties."

And Lincoln also said, in writing to a mother who had lost her sons in the war: "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming."

*:t*

And Lincoln often said, during the dark days he went through that if he couldn't crack an occasional joke, or tell a humorous story or listen to one, he could never get by with his burdens. Truly, a practical prayer for these times would be: "Oh, Lord, give us all a sense of humor for these tragic times. HeIp us to meet every problem smilingly. F'or a sense of humor is the front and rear bumper as well as the shock-absorbers on the motor car of life. Without it, in such times as these, we would shake to pieces." rF * tN.

I remember writing in this column in the summer of 1938 these words: "ft looks as though the four horrid Horsemen of the Apocalypse urere saddling their horses to ride again." What a masterpiece of understatement that turned out to be ! For again the earth and all the oceans as well are being swept with fire and deluged with blood and tears. The Four florsernen ride as they never rode before in all history, for this time they ride-not only over the roads and the waves-but they ride the very winds of heaven, scattering destructiorl and chaos as they go.

They used to laugh at the story of the two old hansom cab drivers in New York who refused to be terrified by the invasion of the gasoline taxis and motor cars, and stuck to their stations at the Hotel Plaza, horses and all. They said they were wqiting for the fad of the motor cab to pass. And the world laughed at their conceit. You can well imagine those two old men today, laughing up their sleeves as they quote that famous question: "Who's loony now?"

What a world or n"roJ" Jtti"**"a war is already producing ! Men whose exploits thrill our very souls. Already there have been indelibly inscribed on the pages of history the names of American soldiers who have sought and found immortality in the defense of their native land; men who might have "carried the eagles of Napoleon over the Bridge of Lodi, or led the Charge of the Light Brigade."

LIBERTY : Socrates "lru,* ,rr* u.fending himself before his judges: "During my life I have not sought ambition, wealth. I have not sought to adorn my body, but I have endeavored to adorn my soul with the jewels of patience and justice, and above all with the love of LIBERTY."
