continuously and persistently UNTIL

advantage Of finding the buyer to whom

The Optimist

The optimist, while he sees much of the evil, sees also much of the good. He sees more of the beauty, hears more of the music; his mental vision is keener, his spiritual insight is deeper. His whole view of life is one of promise. When the problems, vexa- tions, and temptations Come, he stands squarely in his path, and by attitude and expression declares his firm belief in the ultimate good, He has many experiences, and sometimes he fails; but he rises stronger in resolution for having discover ed a weakness. There is in him something that never yields. He looks upon evil as something to be overcome. He makes effort, in proportion to this does he elevate himself to a higher plan of life. He has a mission in the world, and pro- ceeds to do his work. This is usually done without demons tartion. His force Is like the sublime forces of the universe silent, but always acting. Like the pessimist, his life and thoughts are contagious; un. like the pessimist, he Is al ways welcome. If the two come face to face, he will never yield to the latters influence
 He knows that eternal truth and goodness are working through him, and he believes in their ultimate triumph,

Local Development

Another era of nation wide speculation has passed. This time the peoples spare cash went into land projects many of which have proven just about as productive of divi- dends as have i'll the past simi- lar flyers in stock exchanges. Many people of this communi- ty have contributed to the land booms. They have been at tracted by the fact that the property they bought is far from home and, as a rule, in a locality. that they knew little, If anything about. A large amount of this business is be- ing done by prospectus and circular letters, and in some cases the buyer will be happier if he never sees what he bought.

Springtime

Spring Is here without a doubt; the small boy has dofed his shoes and stockings, donn- ed his last years straw hat and with his pockets full of marbles can be seen down on his knees in the dirt deep in the mysteries of knuckle and Jaw. A few days later when tired of marbles you will find him ou the banks of a creek with g can full of worms, a hickory pole and fish line, having a glorious time. The buds on the tree will hardly show a tint of green before he will be swimming, taking cramps and just missed being drowned, having,ooeaus of fun, bad colds and soar throat. Oh, halcyon days of youth, oh spring time of life, oh days of humps, measles and stone bruises. all too quickly you fly; the boy grows to manhood; old age grows on apace, a few more years and he totters on the brink of the grave; yet a man never grows so old but that in the spring when the boys first get out with their marbles he will stop a moment to watch the game and mem ory will recall days long since past.

We believe now, however, that the time has come to center attention upon the welfare of Winslow. We believe also that 1t Is time to settle down to a plan for bet tering this particular commu- nity by strong cooperative efforts.
 It has been said that the tariff Is local issue and, in a large measure, the same may be said of prosperity. The business men of this vicinity have it in their power to pros perity in this locality, but, in order to accomplish something definite, their money must be kept at home and spent at home. Our general welfare will not be promoted by sending it to Canada or to any part of the world with which we have no daily business relation.
 We need a commercial club to lay out a campaign oi de velopment which will make this a better place 10 live in. THERE Is No PLACE LIKE HOME when everyone is try. ing to make 1t a better place The time for action IS right now. We can afford to disre' gard every other issue but that of local prosperity, but we should be up and doing some. thing to further our own in terests. We have i'll this vici nity fine homes, good schools, good roads and many other things that help to make life worth living.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
THE TRAGIC FATE OF 40
 MIRAl BYNG.
By A. ". MACY.

Admiral John Byns of the British navy, bungIed battle and was shot for 1t. In 1756 he was sent with his squadron to protect a British station on the island of Minorca, In the Med iterranean. He came to an en- gagement with the French fleet, but managed his vessels very poorly, and the French were vic torious. When news of the de- feat reached England there was a great outcry. The admiral was brought home and tried by court martial. The court found him guilty of not having done hIs ut- most to win the battle, but &C., quilted him of coWardiee and dlsaffection and recommend ed him to mercy on that account. But there was . stringent law at that tlme which prescribed death for negligence on the part or an aomiral, ana the king decided not to inter- fere with the sverdlct. Byng, however, was not without friends and defenders. Many people believed the government itself was at fault in not furnishing him with an adequate equip ment of men and ships, and made him a scape-goat for lts own shortcomings. Ills trial and execution made deep impres- sion on the public mind, and doubtless led to modification of the law. The admiral met his death braVeIy, but ft was need less cruelty to shoot him on . ship he had formerly com manded.

T,ondon. November 9-(Special) )-After A run of over fifty years, that scream ing British official farce, Postage due' or the stampless coroner" has just been withdrawn from the boards of his maJes- tv,s civil service, to the relief of Brit ish taxpayers, if to the grief of British officialdom.
 British officialdom is as fond of red tape now as 1t was in the days when Dickens penned his roast of the Circum- locution office. It bewails the modern tendency, that is asserting itself even in this stronghold of conservatism, to do things in accordance with common sense. and not with hoary tradition, and the long played farce of the British cor oner's unstamped report was red-tapeisn ~--.excelss. Incidentally, during the half
 tcentury and over that it has held
 hy, 1t has involved delay and bother in connection with about one million eight hundred thousand letters, and has led to one government department solemnly paying another some $7SOO in excess hostage, four cents at time
 Coroner's inquests are frequently ab- surd enough in themselves without gra- tuitously adding a sequel of absurdity, vet for over fifty years it has been a point of honor with the British coroner not to put a stamp on the envelopes con taipfng the reports of juries' verdicts which he sends to the local registrar. It was the registrar generals department that started the trouble. "As govern ment department writing to ourselves about a matter of state," 1t said, i've shall not pay for the postage of these certificates," but the result of this pro- nunciamento was to bring the registrar generals department up against dough- ty antagonist in the shape of his ma iesty's postoffice, which took refuge in its famous and impregnable formula, .'we have no regulations governing this matter" To the postman it said; You
 will treat a coroner's letter just as you would treat chemists letter, and charge double postage for it if it bears nc stamp"
 As a result registers of births, mar riages and deaths long have been in the
