How to Keep Young.

Try to forget disagreeable things. Try
to master the art of saying pleasant
things. Do not expect too much of your
friends. Try to conquer your nerves and
not allow them to bore others who per-
haps are as weary as you are. Try to
make any work that comes to your hands
congenial.
Try to relieve all the distressed and
afflicted who cross your path and SYM
pathize with their suffering. Try to do
to others as you would be done by, that
you may reap the fruits Of happiness in
a peaceful old age.

Reward Shall Be Given.

Cast your burden upon the waters,

In this world, or the other,
It will yet return to you.

papers to the librarian at the Sunshine
headquarters, and drop a postal card to
that effect SO she can know who is trying
to help scatter sunshine Should friends
out Of the city have a large number of
books, send them by freight How many
will send us just one book as their act
of kindness this month? It makes no
difference what you have to pass on, if
it is in good condition, the society can
place it somewhere where it will be used
until worn out.
AS Sunshiners, we should ever keep in
mind that we are not to put away pretty
things because we cannot use them, but
we are to make effort to place them
where they are not only enjoyed but
needed.
There are so many ways to do kind
ness. One way is to just send bound

Minnesota Loan and Trust building.
Notify the librarian, Mrs. Mary ]. Craw-

SHIP SUBSIDIES DISCUSSED.
Merchant Marine Commission MeeS in
 Washington.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Merchant Marine Commission composed of Sem ators and Representatives, held meeting today to consider amendments to the ship subsidy bill presented to the last Congress. Those present were Sem ator Gallinger, Chairman; Senator Lodge and Representatives Minor of Wisconsin and Spight of Mississippi
 Eugene T. Chamberlain, Commission CT of Navigation, also was in attend ance.
 The commission took up the revision of the bill by sections, making several verbal changes for the sake of added clearness and precision and limiting the subventions absolutely to ships engaged principally in the foreign trades as dis tinct from the coastwise commerce, from which foreign competition has al- ways been excluded
 Another amendment provides specific ally that no vessel receiving q subven- ton under the terms of the bill shall receive any other subvention, bounty or subsidy, from the United States. Still another amendment requires that one half of the deck force of the ships re- ceiving subventions shall be able sea- men who have served at least two years on deck.
 The commission is considering the question of providing special and extra inducements for American vessels to participate more largely than now in the carrying trade between the United States and the Philippine possessions.
 The commission will meet again Fri day.

 unsettled. The city council was to have taken some definite action in the matter last night. but failed to do so, postponement being taken until the first regular meeting in January. More than one interested person or party is anxious to install gas plant here. but none of them appears willing to furnish what the municipality would consider a reasonable remuneration for the franchise. It is very proba- b1e that the privilege will be let to the highest bidder.
