AIN'T IT THE TRUTH?
Over the hill trailed a man behind a mule drawing a plow. Said the man
to the mule:
"Bill, you a r e a mule, the son of a jackass, and I a m a man, made in t h e
image of God. Yet, here we work, hitched up together, year in and year out.
I often wonder if you work for me or if I work for you. Verily, I think it a
partnership between a mule and a fool, for surely I work a s hard a s you, if
not harder. Plowing or cultivating, we cover the same distance, hut you do i t
on four legs and I on two. I, therefore, do twice as much work per leg a s
you do.
"Soon, we'll be preparing for a corn crop. When the crop is harvested I
give one-third to the landlord for being so kind a s to let me use this small
speck of God's universe. One-third goes to you and the balance is'mine. You
consume all of your portion with t h e exception of the cobs, while I divide niine
among seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. If we both need
shoes, you get 'em. Bill, you a r e getting t h e best of me, and I ask you, is i t
fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to swindle a man-the Lord of Creationout of his substance?
"Why, you only help to plow and cultivate the ground, and I alone must
cut, shock and husk the corn while you look over the pasture fence and heehaw a t me.
"All fall and niqst of the winter the whole family, from Granny to t h e
baby, picks cotton to help raise money to pay taxes and buy a new harness
and pay the interest on the mortgage on you. And what do you care about the
mortgage? Not a damn! You ornery cuss. I even have to do t h e worrying
.*bout t h e mortgage on your tough, ungrateful hide.
"About the only time I am your better is on election day, for I can vote
and you can't. And after election I reallze that I was fully a s great a jacliass
a s your papa. Verily, I am prone to wonder if politics were made for men or
jackasses, o r to make jackasses of men.
"And t h a t ain't all. Bill. When you're dead that's supposed t o be the
end of you. But me? The parson tells me t h a t when I die I gotta go to hell
forever. That is, Bill, if I don't do just as lie says. And most of what h e says
keeps me from getting any kick out of life.
"Tell me. Willyum, considering these things, how can you keep a straight
face and look so dumb and solemn?"-Scottish
Rite Bulletin.

yet reviewed is now available, and
should be purchased by each school
or each school child, if t h a t child i s
particularly interested in railroading.
The book is titled "Trains" and was
compiled by Robert Selph Henry. Mr.
Henry is a skilled writer who knows
how to organize his material, t o present i t clearly, simply, graphically.
in order, who never makes t h e mistake of writing "down" t o his audience, but speaks straight out; who
equally avoids the morass of textbookish detail.
H e is a recognized historian, the
author of "The Story of t h e Confederacy". H e presents in this book,
"Trains", a fascinating account of
railroading in America, not so much
the flnancial or political aspects a s
t h e train itself, but what makes i t s
wheels go round and get there, what
it has meant and means t o t h e nation,
the stupendous achievement of rail
transportation covering a continent.
T h e professional railroader will find
here a n illuminating picture of t h e
entire field; t h e layman will find a
book of information and delight.
The price of the book is $2.50 and
it may be ordered from The BobbsMerrill Company of Indianapolis, Ind.
It i s replete with photographs of
both old and new equipment gathered
from the files of various railroads
throughout the country.

ILLINOIS SMOKER
Writes Letter About
"Good Old Edgeworth"
For many years now, Edgeworth Smoking
Tobacco has been known as "the railroad
man's smoke." Therefore, railroad men will
readily understand the enthusiasm which
Mr. Vic Olsen, of Oak Park, Illinois, feels
for Edgeworth. Read his letter:
1137 Gundrrson Ave.
Oak Park, 111.
Jan. 20, '33
Larua & Bro. Co.,
Ilichrnond. Va.
Gentlrrnm:
When you say good tobacco. you said a
pipeful. I've tried them all. from the most
expensive down. Some of thorn taste good
for a while but I soon tire of them.
For anyone who srnokm as much as I do
there is only one tobacco thst will taste
the same day after day and month after
month, and that's good old Edgeworth.
I know brrause in eight yaars I have
smoked over Y O 0 canu.
Yours truly.
\'IC OLSEN
The constant stream of friendly letters that
come from pipe smokers in every quarter of
the earth shows that smokers of Edgeworth
find in it just that combination of fine flavor
and honest mildness which suits them exactly. Such contentment and satisfaction
are worth seeking.
Try Edgeworth next time. Ask for Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed, or Edgeworth in
Slice form. All dealers sell it. I t comes in all
sizes from 156 pocket package to pound
humidor tin. Several sizes come in vacuum
tins. In these airtight tins the tobacco rctains its original flavor and quality indefinitely in any climate.
Did you ever hear the "Corn Cob Pipe
Clubv-the Edgeworth radio entertainment? I t is given every Wednesday evening
a t ten o'clock, Eastern Daylight Saving
Time, on the WEAF Coast to Coast network of the National Broadcasting Company. Tune in; you'll like it.

Get grimy hands clean in less
than a minute with LAVA SOAP
Once you've put Lava Soap to work on a
pair of grimy hands you'll know why
Lava is by far the most popular soap
among railroad men.
When Lava's thick, heavy lather and
fine, powdery pumice go into action
grease and grime disappear like magic.
This husky. long-lasting cake works fast.
Yet Lava is easy on the hands. Its glycerine-used in most expensive handlotions-and other soothing oils, protect
the skin, help heal up little nicks and
scratches.
And Lava kills gems. Tests show that
as a preventive against many common
bacteria such as those that cause meningitis, tetanus and other deadly diseases.
Lava is several times as effective as
carbolic acid.
Lava saves you time.. and saves you
money, too, because i t lasts 3 times as
long as ordinary soap. Works well in any
water-hot or cold, hard or soft. Get
Lava today.

Instead o f the expensive and incomplete method of scaling and cleaning
steel w o r k by hand, Dearborn has introduced a very economical and more satisfactory method. A sprayed on coating
of NO-OX-ID i s first made t o loosen up
the old rust scale and k i l l the corrosion
by penetrating t o the seat of the pit.
During t h i s soaking and cleaning process, a l l spots where r u s t slabs o r old
coating f a l l off, shou,ld be touched up
w i t h NO-OX-ID t o prevent further corrosion. T h e structure may be completely
cared f o r b y t h i s method, o r when a l l
r u s t i s killed, a coating o f NO-OX-ID
Filler, Red, Black o r Aluminum, may be
applied, and a coat o f paint over t h i s
i f desired. The NO-OX-ID does t h e w o r k
of cleaning and preparing t h e metal surface, and prevents any f u r t h e r r u s t act i o n during the process.
-and

T r e a t i n g angle bars, t r a c k bolts. r a i l
