THOMAS JEFFERS0N'S RULES

Here are ten rules of conduct which
Jefferson once gave to a young man:
I. Never put off until tomorrow what
can be done today
9. Never trouble others for what you
can do yourself
g. Never spend your money before
yon have it.
A. Never buy what you do not want
because it is cheap
). Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst, or cold.
g. We never repent of having eaten
too little.
T. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
9. How much pain have those evils
cost us which never happened.
o. Take things always by their smooth
handles
TO- When angry. count 10 before you
speak; when very angry, count 100.
Those ten rules are almost compen-
dunn Of conduct. In them there's not a
superfious word. Each one Of them is
rooted and grounded in sound philosophy
and acceptance Of them as a guidebook
would tend to augment success, salts
faction, happiness, and usefulness,
These rules can all be studied with pro
fit, but can't be ignored without loss.
Some of them are, in truth, more i'm
portant than others, but individually
and collectively they are admirable.
If Jefferson had done uDthing more
than to formulate these tn 'ules Of con.
duct, he would have rendered a sub
stantial public service. They stand fol
great philosophy, just as his Louisiana
territory, out of which many big states
have been carved, stands for great
craftsmanship.

UNION LABEL ON MONEY

The attitude of union agitators tc

mands are complied with. The ludi.

that should an exigencY arise where the
