MISCELLANEOUS Honesty does not merely mean that you will not lie with your lips or steal your employer's money or property. It means that you will not be dishonest in your work by slighting or neglecting it; that you will not steal your employer's time, waste or spoil his goods, and that you will do your level best in everything, do every task to a complete finish, stamp every job that passes through your hands with superiority, with the trademark of your character. Success Magazine. The Hookworm Mr. Rockefeller's gift of $1,000,000 to be used in eradicating the hookworm disease fixes public attention on this dread scourge of the South. When this parasite was found the discoverer stated, quite correctly, that it was responsible for most of the lassitude and unwillingness to work of the so-called "poor white trash," whereupon he was laughed out of court as the discoverer of "the germ of laziness." The hookworm, which is not a germ, is certainly no laughing matter. The appearance and habits of the parasite are now well known. It is a sucking worm less than an inch long and looking much like "a bit of soiled coarse thread." One victim may entertain several thousand of these tiny "vampires," and these cause loss of blood not only by sucking it. but by leakage through the minute holes that they make in the intestinal walls. Literary Digest. "When going up the hill of prosperity may we never meet a friend coming down." "The man we love is he who think the most good and speaks the least ill of his neighbors." It is better to follow even the shadow of the best than to remain intent with the worst. Van Dyke. LOCALS Locals, Ha! Ha!
