Show Plant a Flower-Give Some Kinduess Ed itor Progressive Opinion : Why raise weeds when flowers look so much better? Of course it takes work and attention to raise flowers while weeds grow on their own accord It costs no more effort to say a kind word, than to say the opposite. As flowers gladden the heart, and are sweet to the smell, so kind words give encouragement, encour-agement, and never leave a bad taste in the mouth, while ' ords of sarcasm, discouragement and hate, are weeds that should not be permitted to grow. There are no kind deeds Without kind thoughts; you do not gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles At a children's hospital a small boy, suffei ing from infantile paralysis had just been placed in a wheel chair He learned that a littie girl patient was also waiting for the chair and immediately asked to be returned to his bed. When asked his reason he said, '"Where I come from it's always ladies first." A local business men overheard him and now the gallant little gentleman has a wheel chair of his own. C. V. Hansen. |
