The Charm Of Enthusiasm.

Have you ever realized what
charm there is in enthusiasm? Life
Is so often monotonous that we Ike

find that she holds a winning card.

Our Elastic Globe.

Nothing seems more rigid than the
crust OF the earth. but scientific men
tell US that IL bends and buckles ap-
probably under the pull OF the heaven
ly bodies. Careful observation has
also shown that the shores on opposite
sides of tidal basin approach each
other at high tide. The weight OF
water in the Irish sea. for instance. is
so much greater at that time that the
bed sinks a tribe and consequently
pulls the Irish and English coasts
nearer together. The buildings of Liv-
erpool and Dublin may be fancied as
bovine TO each other across the chan
mel. the detection from perpendicular
being about one inch for every six
teen miles. IL has been shown. too.
that ordinary valleys widen under the
beat OF the sun and contract again at
night. We live not on a rigid but an
elastic globe.

THE POSITION QUESTION AT
BROWNS BUSINESS COL
JEGE
Interesting Facts About the Demand
for Young People in Rock Island.

Interesting Facts About the Demand
for Young People in Rock Island.
Few young people in Rock Island
know of the great demand for thor
oGghly trained bookkeepers and stem
o2raphers right here in their own city.
1t is interesting to note some facts
furnished By Browns Business College
OF Rock Island, relative to the demand
made upon them to supply Office help
to the various firms in the Tri-Cities.
During the school year just closed
Browns of Rock Island has received
over $50 calls for their students to fill
positions in or near Rock Island Of
the 120 students who enrolled the past
year, about 40 completed enough of
the course to enable them to hold posi-
tons. These figures show that for
each student ready for position, there
were from three to four positions to be
filed.
Just last week Browns Business Col
lege of Rock Island received 16 calls
for their students. Less than half of
these positions were filled because not
enough students were ready to send
out There are scores of young men
and women in Rock Island who might
just as well be filling these places if
they were willing to make the prep,
aration.
The grade Of instruction in Browns
Business college is of the best, and the
graduates of this substantial and reli-
able school are not only able to secure
positions but they hold them and merit
promotion
These facts should cause the young
people OF Rock Island and vicinity tc
seriously consider the advisability of
beginning a course in Browns Bust
ness college when their fall term op-
ems September 5th and 9th.
The demand for trained Office helm
Is increasing, and the young people
owe it to themselves to prepare to take
their places in the business world.
1t costs nothing to investigate the
time required to complete a course in
Browns, and persons desiring informa-
ton should send their names in on a
post card, telephone, or better still.

college.

How to Make a Dainty
Complexion Beautifier

Powders, paints and cosmetisc-
face lotions, washes and the like-a
myriad of creams-each and all have
their buyers, spending annually more
dollars than I can count in the search
for just the right thing to make their
faces most attractive" says Marion
Harlow in 1.-The Quest for Beauty"
''In the thoughtless rush to expert
ment with the new and strange, the
simple and inexpensive articles of
known and tried merit are often
passed by. Yet, when all is said,
plain amarol is as satisfactory COM
plexion beautifier as one can find.
1T softens, smooths and whitens
the skin; prevents roughness and
dryness; gives an elusive and charm
ing attractiveness produced by no
paint, powder or lotion 1 know, and
is so dainty and delicate its use can
not be detected.
Your druggist will sell you the
amarol in the original OF. package.
Get two ounces and put it in pint
bottle, fill the bottle full of warm
water, shake well, let stand over
night, and you have a complexion
beautifier that you never again will
be without"

LARGE FAMILIES ENCOURAGED
England and Germany Pay Bonuses to
Defeat Race Suicide.

The dangers of race suicide are so
well understood in Europe that eff
forts are being made in several coun-
tries to engage married couples to
have large families.
England grants a rebate in taxation
to fathers of families; France is con-
sidering a bill for paying cash bonuses
to government employees with chill
dren and the German borough of
Schoneberg, which comprises a large
part of south and southwest Berlin,
pays premiums to municipal employ
ees who have more than two children.
The increased cost of living has pro-
duced a marked tendency toward the
two child standard in German towns.
Schoneberg will henceforth pay $3.50
a month to every employee, married or
widower, who has three children: SO
a month for four children, 1918 for
five, S4.25 for six and IS for families
of more than six.

HORSE SWAPPING.
In the Good Old Days it Was Sport,
Not Commercialism.

In the Good Old Days it Was Sport,
Not Commercialism.
81 have been reading that David
Harum story said the ancient livery
man when his cronieS were comforta-
bly, seated in his little Office. "a friend
told me that story was the last word
on horse trading. but the man who
wrote it didn't understand the spirit
of the game at all. David Harum
would have been skinned out Of his
teeth If he had blown into any west
ern town in the palmy days of horse
trading twenty or thirty years ago.
II tell you. my friends. all the dead
game sports are asleep with their IA
theirs, Nobody is willing to take a
chance nowadays. If a man buys
cigar he wants a bill of sale with it.
The other day a cheap skate pestered
me a whole afternoon talking about
buying a horse. He tried out all the
nags in the barn and finally decided
that the glass eyed bay would suit
him. And he actually wanted a writ
ten guarantee that the horse was
sound! A written guarantee! No. gen.
tlemen, i am not joking. That bald
headed traveSty on man actually
asked for such a document. l regarded
it as an insult. and after had rebuked
him they had to pour four buckets of
water over him before he recovered:
in the good old days horse trading
was game, not a commercial tranSac-
ton. If a man wasn't willing to take
the chances when he went trading he
was advised to try some other line of
business. Many and many a time l
had the harpoon administered to me.
One day Major Charlie Slaughter
drove to my barn.
81 have quite a neat package of
horsef1esh here said the major, and
have a sort of presentiment that he
can travel Il few lines when the wind
is blowing in the right direction
His horse was a handsome roam, a
regular peacock for style, with his
head away up in the air so you'd need
a Stepladder to see if he had a star
on his forehead. And the way he hit
the road was sin. Talk about gated
horses, That roam handled his legs
as though he had taken sparring les
sons. Now. my weak point in the
morse business Is t0aC Wnen i want
a certain nag the worst way can't
conceal the fact. just can't sleep or
eat my yictuals until that horse is in
my barn with new halter on him.
The major was wise to my weakness.
Its no use, Jake says the major.
This boss isn't on my swapping list.
Every roam hair on him just suits me.
and I'd be chump to let him 60
well. of course 1 got the roam all
right. The major was just bluff1ng.
And 1 gave him the biggest trade you
ever heard of-gave him a matched
team and several bills for that gan
Cling roam. And when l took the roam
to the water trough for a drink found
that he couldn't lower his head. He
had to carry it about ten feet in the air
all the time. owing to some injury in
his neck. He had TO eat his faxed rice
off a shelf and drink from a garden
hose, and a man needed an aeroplane
to put bride on him.
Did / raise a fuss with the major?
What sort of skate do you take me
for? Next time 1 met him 1 told him

Much Fertilizer Needed.

Although fertilizers must be used in
greater quantity than in the states
named, Professor William z. Brooks.
director of the Massac husettS agricul-
tural experiment station. points out
that ION many soils in Massachusetts
an average expenditure of about $50
an acre for fertilizers viii insure an
annual product of sixty to seventy
bushels.
"This is at the rate of only about
80 cents a bushel for corn produced.
but in Massachusetts the slower
is worth more as forage than in the
