Sunflower Philosophy From Atchison Globe
In a small town idleness meets vanity and virtue in sturdy quips. A fashion extremes to entice, a cheap dishpan sells, a lazy rich man, and a kicker with no business. Benevolent societies flood a man into destitution, while economy shines yet hoards gold with no use. A secret kept proves most unattractive when no one defeats the vow.
