Little Margaret was to take her
first bath in the river. A fine new
bathing suit had been made for her,
and she donned it with great pride.
Her mother, with Margaret's sis
tiers, took her down. She was very
timid about going in until she saw
the others were perfectly safe in the
water. Then she ventured in. The
water suddenly grew deeper and
came above her waist, much to the
surprise OF the little maid, who cried
out in anguish:

re 'ched higher plane OF civilization?
One In which we are more Considerate
OF our poor fellow beings, more un.
selfish?
We need not go back tn former time
to find an example, neith,I do we
need to go to otter localities but here
in our Hood River Valley, in our
every day life, our relation to those
around us is easily noticed
How often We discourage others by
falling to show some appreciation OF
what they are doing. How often we
fail to consider the effect of some
deed of ours on others when we are
striving toward something for which
we have set out, and yet oftimes one
word OF appreciation, one thought
in their behalf might encourage or
even change their lv's and help them
to become better men and women
And agoin notice the relation Of
man to man in our national life, In
our political and business world. 1t
is unnece ssary to point out any par
tiCulaT for instance in politics OF the
present or past, to bring to your
minds the tact tina SO many OF the
politicians have gained the places
they hold by corrupt dealings and
also in the business world 1t is sad
but true fact that our largest indus
tries are built up OF the shattered
hopes of uumherless me 1t seems
that regardless of our higher forms OF
civilization, regardless of what we
boast of as an enlightened nation, a
great number of our citizens have as
much power and are as tyrsnnical ss
the worst Of ancient rulers VI
course tuey do not have the power OF
robting man of life but they do
have the power of taking away every
thing that makes life worth the liv-
ing. Nothing is allowed to stand in
the way of their strife for gold. Ev-
cry intruder is crushed, every fault
finder silenced. The very path OF
their success is strewn with the
wrecked lives of others.
Il Is time for us to pause In our
hu,rying, pushing, crcwdine, strife
/ for wealth and fame aud think OF
! those about US. Think of the times
in the past that we have neglected to
b ip weaker brother, think OF the
/ times thst we have allowed our selfish
interests keep us from giving assist
auco to the needy, No encouraging
word to the despoudent. Let us give
a cheerful smile to whomsoevei We
may meet in the rough road OF every
day, !,
Let us not, as another was, b'
found wanting when asked, Where u
thy Iruther?" Let ua be able to give
an honest account If our relation u
bin gpd not he forced to ask guiltily
cam / my brothers. keeper?'

(By Harry Cash)

Ages ago on the bleak hills of Asla
stood a man with oonltenance
which expressed both fear aud bra
yado. one who looked as though he
we're expecting some one to accuse
him of guilt yet ready to deny the
accusation. Such man was the first
murderer to kill his brother.
When be stood there almost be-
wiIdered by what he bad done, he
heard a voice which said, "Where is
Abel, thy brother? And the man
not dar!ug to deny that be knew, yet
irving to appear unGoncerned an
swered, "Am my brothers keeper"
Let US traoa mankind down through
the ages First we see him as the
primitive man with no aim in life
EXCEPT that of procuring food and
revenge his wrongs Every i'll deed
is resented, every wrong must be
riphted But oh what a crude sense
of Justice. For Justice oonsis cd in a
life for life, an eye for au eye or a
tooth for tooth Little th5y cared
il the pne on whom the punishment
fell was guilty of the crime or not.
IL was enough If he was bound to the
criminal by family ties. For in a
w4y every man WAS his brother
keeper and oftimes family or tribal
feud was kept up for years in order
that a death 10 either tribe nigh be
avenged,
AS time passed on, mankind passed
to what was known as higher stage
of civilization, higher in torms OF
living, higher jn meutal attainment
aud some higher in moral develop
ment. There was not 80 much blood
shed in family teuds an5 yet IN way
men were not as true to each Other
as iu the former age. 1t was one
man age Each trying to gain power
by all means whether foul OF fair 1t
seemed az though every man was EN-
Unused with the ambition to bavt
more power thun his fell0wmen,
Nothing was too low or degraded tt

At this time a mans life was vel!

Recipe for unhappiness:
Think only of yourself, care only
for yourself, labor only for yourself.
Mix and use daily.
II you doubt the formula, look about
you. Note the effects of self love
from ennui to suicide
A new, clean play now being produc-
ed in New York city illustrates the ex-
treme effect of selfishness:
\ rich old man has lived a self Gen.
tered life. He thinks only Of his ills.
He takes fright at every symptom of
disease. He concludes he is in a bad
way. Learned physicians confirm his
fears. He decides to commit suicide.
The miserable old man takes a room
in a cheap tenement on the east side
and prepares to blow out his brains.
Just as he raises the pistol to his
temples a ragged, forlorn young girl
steps into the room. She tells the old
man of her troubles-real troubles,
troubles that harass the mind and har-
row the heart But she says she is
not complaining; she is making a
brave fight to save her womanhood
and is hopeful of victory.
The old man becomes ashamed of his
troubles, which, after all. are largely
imaginary troubles
He becomes interested in the girls
brave and hopeful fight. He throws
away the pistol. And the sequel of the
play is the restoration Of the old man
to health and the success of the girl.
In helping another the old man
helped himself
Which is the law of life.
The play is but another repetition, in
| fact, Of the old story Of the man who,
| death, forgets his own growing numb
ness and works to restore the other.
with the result that both are saved.
So that the recipe for happiness is
the reverse Of the other one. 1t IS
Think of others, care for others,
work for others. Apply literally.
Fortunately for society, we are so
constructed that to be happy we must
make others happy. Selfshness car
ries its own punishment. Generosity
| is It's own reward.
Trite and commonplace?
Yes, but true!
Self luxury leads to actual misery.
SelfshnesS is such a burden that men
will drink to drown it or kill them
selves because of 1t.
The recipe is correct.
Do something for somebody. Dc
something worth while-and be happy
Do nothing-and be miserable.
