Heart Cheer

He doeth well who doth his best
He docth well who strives,
Nobest efforts sometimes fail
But never nober lives"
The best reward of kindly deed
Is the knowledge OF having done it,
TO be trusted is greater compli.
ment than to be loved"
Tell Gf you CAM what it is to be wise?
'Iis but to know how little can be
known,
To see all others faults and feel our
own
III ! were to pray for taste which
would stand by me under every variety
OF circumstances, and be source of
happiness and cheerfuness to me
through life it would be taste for
reading"
Great thoughts, like great deeds,
need no trumpet
Some temptations come to the in
dustrious, but all temptatios attack
the idle
Only thought, but the work of it
wrought
Could never by tongue or pen be
taught;
For it ran through a life like a thread
of gold,
And the life bore iruit a hundred fold"
Whatever adds in even the smallest
way to the worlds brightness and
cheer is worth while. One who plants
flower in a bare place where only
bleakness was before is a benefactor.
One who says an encouraging word to
a disheartened neighbor, gives a look
of love to lonely one. or speaks a
sentence which may become strength
guidance or comfort, to another, does
something worth while. We never
know how small a thing may become
q benedction to human life"
with the sun o'erhead. your song OF
praise
Like the lark to heaven mounts,
But how will you sing in the rainy
days?
For that is what really counts
God is still God and His faith shall
not fail us"
who shall despair while the fields
OF earth are sown with flowers and
the fields OF heaven blossom with
stars"
1T amt never no use putin up yer
umbrelr till it rains"
Had we only sunshine all the year
around,
Without the blessing OF refreshing
rain.
| Would we scatter seed upon the fal.
low ground,
And hope to gather flowers, fruit
and gran?'
Sympathy is the golden key that
unIocks the heart OF others"
Faith shares the future promise

| Self-offerng is triumph won:
And each good thought or action moves
The dark world nearer the sun"
Take the sunshine God has sent,
And share that light and life with all
Just let the burden fall; consent
To live content
The life worth living is the life o

ANOTHER OUTSIDE VIEW.

burlington has been making steady
strides forward during the past year
one Of its big projects was to secure
q new modern hotel. The Burlington
Commercial Exchange has become
powerful force in the community anu
Is facing the New Year with deter
mination to keep Burlington in the
forefront of Iowa cities. The expansion
movement in Ottumwa, which round
EXPRESSION in the wonderfully sue
esssful membership campaign OF the
Commercial association, has been the
subject of much favorable comment
from the press and people OF Burning
ton. The Hawk-Eye, which had pre-
viouslv extended it's congratulations to
Ottumwans for the showing they nave
made, had the following additional
mention in yesterdays issue:
Ottumwa Is enthusiastic over the
work of her booster committee, and
she now has some 500 members en-
rolled in the commercial organization,
and she is going after more. Some
times it is very good thing when or
ganizations grow slowly. The member
ship campaign is not always an unnlA-
ed blessing. The member who is prac-
tlCally QTaSSeQ Ill Dy Ille li1ii 10 NV 60
ways the most desirable member, and
frequently becomes so much dead
weight, SO much ballast that the or
ganization must carry. But OttumWans
seem thoroughly aroused and harmon
ious. If that spirit holds out there IS
no reason why Ottulnwa should not
proceed to hump herself and to take
marvellous strides. And If that spirit
becomes fixed and remains highly &C
tive, there is no reason why Ottumwa
should not be giving Des MONIES q
run for her money ere long. An organi,
cation of eight hundred Or more bust
ness and professional men, work
Ing enthusiastically and harmon
iously for their town, could take the
naked prairie and put second chi
cage there IN g few years. Perhaps II
is not at all desirable to have a sec
ond Chicago In Iowa. But that organi
zation surely can make Ottumwa
hummer, and not merely great bust
ness center. but what is no less i'm
portant, one Of the prettiest, cleanest
best towns in the whole country.

welcomed him. But you must not

leaving.
Why not
Because said Marcia, which was
not real reason.
II shall come as often as please"
he said
Then Marcia stood up very straight
and tall. 81 am only a shabby little
Cinderella" she said, land must

Then he looked very sober and
asked, DO you think l fritter away

Yes Marcia told him, Il do"

dered me to the Philippines. And |

say sharply, you care?"
Marcia tried to say, "Oh no." but

shook.

CONCENTRATION.

In Sheldon's Business Philosophy IS
the following definition of concentra-
ton:
Concentration is the watchword of
achievement. 1t is what the hornet
puts into effect when he wants to
make himself felt. His singer is lit
tie thing; 1t weighs no more than
hair; but it has been known to lift
200 pounds of meat two feet in one
second. That is concentration. MANY
a brain that weighs 50 ounces is too
weak to lift even al idea high enough
for inspection That is scatteration.
Young man, concentrate, Settle your
mind down on one thing ct a time and
settle it down hard. You can buzz over
the face of lob from now till dooms-
day; but you'll never be worth con
tinental till you light somewhere and
sting

ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.

Among the suggestions at Tuesday
nights meeting of the Commercial as
ISOLATION as to the needs of Ottumwa
end the means that should be taken to
supply these needs, Julius Fecht sub
mitted the following:
Encourage immigration to Ottumwa
and vicinity Farmers, mechanics, Ia
borers and domestics should be made
welcome, and if they come, give them
something to do Foreign immigration
should by no means be excluded or
discouraged. No city ever grew with
out immigration. Fecht.
Mr.. Fecht is right. In this country,
the greatest energy is found in tho
communities where the nationality is
the most mixed. New York and Chi
cago are examples of this fact.
Up to few years ago practically all
the people who came from foreign
shores to this country located north OF
the Mason and Dixon line. The north
had the factories and did not have
the colored labor. The soil and eli
mate were more adapted to growing
what some had been used to in their
| home land. and the factories and rail-
roads attracted those who were adapt
ed to that class of work. In that time
the south Jagged behind in the in
crease in population. The cities and
towns of the north grew and thrived;
| its wild land was converted into pros
porous farms. The north received the
immigration and the north grew.
| When the south began to pay some
attention to manufacturing, it began
I to attract immigrants and today its
busiest cities are those in which the
nationality of the people is the most
Varied.
! Ottumwa wants and invites the
immigrant, He can find good home
and employment here.
