OU CAN LEARN a lot of interesting and useful things about men and women by studying potatoes. Hereos one way:

. You fill a bushel basket full of potatoes of all sizes. Then you , shake the basket. And do you know what happens? Always the s€une interesting thing. The big potatoes come to the top. The little potatoes go to the bottom. And other potatoe,s take their place ' somewhere between the top and bottom, depending entirely on their SIZE.

No maiter how many times you mix those potatoes up, and start shaking them, the same things happen. Always the big ones come to the top and the small ones go to the bottom.

And its exactly the same with human beings. Every time you shake the bushel'basket of humanity, the big folks come to the top, the little folks go to the bottom, and the rest take their place near - the top or bottom just depending on their size. It always happens whenever you shake that bushel basket.

So what do we learn from this story? That the only way for either potatoes or men to get to the top of the basket is to GROW BIGGER. There is no other way. Strive and twist and turn and wish as they will, it won't do them a bit of good so long as they stay the same size. When the basket of humanity is shaken-as it is being shaken all the way through li{e-they will take their place that their size provides.

So the answer is simple. The man or woman who wants to get to the top can only do so by making him or her self BIGGER. How? Well, that's a long story.

Those men who are i,u""r"u-,o ,"ti.l una stop doing useful things, seeking a life free from responsibilities and duties, would do well to remember what Diogenes said when it was suggested he rest because he was old. He said: "If I were running in the stadium, ought I to slacken my pace when approaching the goal? Ought I not rather put on more speed?".

Don't forget the remark of Edison that "everything comes to he who waits if he hustles while he is waitins."

BY JACK DIONNE

A piece of advice: If you discover that a friend is slipping away from yoir, drop everything else and go ,catch him and bring him back; for that is one of the few things in this world that no one can afford to lose.

The average person simply says: "Do to others as you would have them de to you." And that is the soul and essence of o'The Golden Rule." But regardless of which of these manners of saying this same truth you may think the finest, it makes little difierence if you will just live fully up to the philosophy.

The ancient Persians said: "Do as )ou would be done by."

A farmer ran an "a ini.i. r*" O*". that read: "Farmer 38 wishes to meet and marry woman about 30 who owns a tractor. In replying, please enclose picture of tractor."

Several years ago t .pol" ,o I "o'l"nrion. Before I started a lady in the crowd recalled that she heard me talk in that same city in the year 1912, and that I recited a short verse called "Sam's Girl." She wanted to know if I could still recall the words. I could. It goes like this:

"Sam's girl is tall and slender, My girl is short and low, Sam's girl wears silks and satins, My girl wears calico, Sam's girl is fast and sporty, My girl is pure and good, Think I'd trade my girl for Sam's girl? Why, you know darn well I would!"

Speaking of good *ur.l,o -" ,n. best of any year is that of the comedian W. C. Fields (I love his stuff, anyway) when he said: ooNever smarten up a chump." He is the man who made, "Never give a sucker an even break," a national byword.

Smile if it kills yo,r. 'fnl., ,""',t OrJ with a grin on your face.
