NOTHING ID CAUSE FEAR
 EXISTS SAYS JAs. ]. HILL.

This is the way James J. Hill. the Empire Builder" expresses himself on the business men who fear to engage in new enterprises MT. Hill can see no reason whatever for the semi-paralysis that is gradually creep ing over the United States and which he says "is only a senseless lack of confidence"
 And why this lack of confidence? Some man, somewhere, has grown timid over something or other, and has cried boo at his neighbor His neighbor probably jumped and the next fellow took fright without know ing why he was frightened. And so on.
 Its just like a flock of sheep. If one starts to run, every sheep in the flock will follow, even if they die for it
 During this big national conser- vation congress we have talked about conserving water and conserv- ing land; conserving coal and con serving iron; it's too bad somebody didn't say a word about conserving common sense.
 That's what this country needs right now-to conserve common sense. There's an article by Col George Harvey in the September North American Review dealing with the Conservation of Common Sense that well Illustrates the business con dition of this country right now and gives as the panacea for the business paralysis. the suggestion that car business men use little common sense-iust ordinary sound common sense. I wish business men every where would take this advice
 T can see no reason for the fears which seem to possess our business men, have preached a return to the farm policy for years and ex- pect to continue to do so; but that's no reason for the fear on the part of business.
 Money and business are of course, very careful and it is right that they should be. but not to the extent of cutting cff their noses to spite their faces. Especially when it is so un- necessary and they need the noses, too.
 Here's a little excerpt which, to my mind, bears down hard and strikes at the core of our present

"HaIIowe'en."

Before the next issue Of our good
paper, that all important evening
when witches, ghosts and hob-gobblins
walk boldly abroad, will have passed.
We hope the older readers have not
forgotten how the very word "Hallow-
cen used to set their nerves tingling
and arouse in them great desire to
do something, even if it were not just
the thing to do. We all remember
the old saying that an idle brain is
the DEVILS workshop. We believe if
children are allowed to have little
party where all the old fashioned
games can be played, corn popped
and outs cracked, there would be no
time for taking the neighbours gate
from his premises, running the car
rage out to the road or doing any of
those things the bad witches are sup
posed to do. Let the young people
invite in a few of their friends to
have good time such as you used to
have. Decorate the house with corn
stalks, vines and ferns. Put black
cats, bats and owls cut from paper
all around. Let the house be lighted
only by Jack-o' lanterns. Let two of
the children dress as ghosts, one of
them can open the door. the other
show the guests where to remove the
wraps, of course ghosts don't talk,
they are always solemn SO they just
point out the way. A person dressed
in black for witch can sit in dark
corner and hand to each guest slip
of paper which has his or her fortune
written upon it. 1t will hit or miss
you know. These can be read aloud.
Blindfold some one, let him turn
around three times then try to blow
out lighted candle. Play ducking
or bobbing for apples and all of those
funny games you know. Later have
apples, doughnuts and coffee for re-
freshments. Let the children have a
real hilarious time, and you older
ones take part also l, for one, am
sorry that youth passes so quickly.

Endurance.

How much the heart may bear and
yet not break
How much the flesh may suffer,
and yet not die!
l question much if any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end NOR @
nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that
is come
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the sur
geon' s knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel
steel
Whose edge seems searching for the
quivering life;
Yet to our sense the bitterest pangs
reveal
That still, although the trembling
flesh be torn,
This also may be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approach
ing ill;
We seek some small escape-we seek
and pray;
But when the blow falls then our
hearts are still
Not that the pain is of it's sharpness
SnOrn-
But that it can be borne.
We wind our life about apother's life !;
We hold it closer-dearer than our
own;
Anon it faints and falls in deadly
strife
Leaving us stunned and stricken
and alone;
But ah we do not die with those we
mourn
This also can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things
famine, thirst,
Bereavement, pain-all grief and
misery
All woe-and sorrow-life infiicts it's
worst
On soul and body, but we cannot
die.
Though we are sick and tired and
faint and worn
Lo! All things can be borne.
