Hair Pomade

Fifty years Of sucoess have proved
the merlts OF thls preparation.

What is more attractive than beautiful
head of hair? 1t has been the ambition OF
women in all ages. The use Of Fesd's hsis

curly hair seStsv, more pi'sbis and glossy,
easy to comb and arrange In any style de-

the Pomade remains in the hair. This result
may be obtained by one thorough application

SUPERSTITION.

Halley'S comet has been discussed
from all sides and angles, but one Of
the most interesting is the psychOlOgi-
cal side. the wave of superstition
which inevitably accompanies ill
heavenly phenomena.
A DR.. Foster of Germany once com-
piled a history OF 500 calamities that
had accompanied comets. Among
others he spoke of an unusual death
rate during the advent of the comet
of 1868, especially among the cats Of
Westphalia. Just why this latter was
a calamity the doctor neglected to
state.
Even in this enlightened day. super
stition has a tenacious hold upon
the limited in knowledge. People
symbol of the evil one, and countless
opportunities have been lost because
it is bad luck to begin anything on
Friday" Yellow newspapers and
amateur astronomers still solemnly
discuss the probability OF Halleys
comet annihilating the world.
Psychologists understand that sui
eide is rampant in a comet year, and
weak-minded people even die of fright.
Superstition originated with primi-
tive man who regarded everything he
did not understand as having evil
intentions toward him. He populated
everything about him, the streams,
clouds, the storm. with spirits Of good
or evil power. He knew nothing Of
the laws of nature, he could grasp only
the good and evil OF his own kind, and
naturally he attributed these charaC-
teristics to all things about him.
Superstition has extended down
through civilization. outcropping in
legend and folk-lore-man's attempt
to account for those things which he
cannot understand.
And it continues even in this day
of advanced civilization. AS long As
men are primitive in mind they will
think primitively as did their first
ancestors years ago.

CONFIDENCE MEANS SUCCESS.

Don't give UP the race of life before
you have gone more than one-half Of
the course. The runner with lead in
his heart will lose the race because
he has an unequal load. Have con
fidence in yourself. The swift runner
who owns himself beaten before the
race will lose.
Success may come through failure.
The first step is confidence. 1t is
hard knocks that smooth the pathway
thereto.
The unskilled workman may beat
out rough piece of metal. 1t re-
quires the skilled mechanic, with pa
tience and confidence. to produce the
finished product. The mechanic with
the soft file accomplishes nothing-the
file that bites the metal is the
instrument which removes the rough
edges. Poor tools make imperfect
machinery. The skilled workman re-
quires confidence in the fitness of his
tools.
Whether a man is a success or 4
failure is due to his individual efforts.
Men are all born equal-it is the ap-
man what he is.

EDITOR WAS SECTION HAND
Twenty Years AGO Bernard Finn Was
Irish In MIGRANT


From section hand 10 editor is the
advance in life made by Bernard Finn
OF SarcoNie. Mo-. who is attending
Editors Week lectures here. Twenty
years ago Mr.. Finn was poor Irish
immigrant who came TO the United
States and became section hand on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad.
Today Mr.. Finn is member OF the
bar of the state OF Missouri and editor
Of the SarcoXie Record, one of the
most influential country newspapers
in Southern Missouri
Work on the section did not please
Mr.. Finn. He wanted to 90 higher
in railroad work He worked sev-
eral years in roundh0use of Ihe
company and then became a fireman
For a number OF years he was a fire
man on various trains between St.
Louis and New Franklin, Mo. In this
time he was fireman for engineers who
now work for the "Katy's" fast mail
trains, the ''limited' and flyer"
But Alr. Finn had still higher ambi-
tions. Because of failing health ne
quit the road. Although he knew
practically nothing OF newspaper work
he determined tc learn. He became
editor and proprietor OF a paper AT
Ava, No. He remained there six
years and learned what the proprietor

he was not engaged with the work Of
his paper he studied law. at night
and other odd times. He passed the

the visitors happy one The Tecep-

ally have extended the glad hand"
and the cheerful countenances of the
editors and their wives indicate that
they are seeing things optimisti-
cally. But there is a deeper signlfi-
cance in this visit of the editors than
simply that they enjoy themselves
while here and are induced to say
pleasant things to those whose guests
they are.
The University of Missouri has a

AM | NY BROTHERS KEEPER?

More and more this question, ring
ing through time from the dawn OF
the affirmative. 1t is only in recent
years that society has been approach
ing a realization of its fullest respon-
sibility in the development of the citi-
zen from early childhood. 1t has long

the municipality took no note and

In recent years, however, it has
dawned upon society that its obligat

age; that there are opportunities lying
without the schoolroom for bringing
youth into full heritage. Such men
as Jacob Riis and Judge Ben Lind
say were given a clearer vision than
others into mans duties as warden
of children. and the success that has
come to their efforts indicates that
it was necessary that leader should
point the way to duty.
