Great Things for Morocco.

According to a consular report. the
exports Of Morocco last year we're
valued al s5,o00,OO0 OF which more
than half was grain. principally bar.
ley Eggs were valued at s1.200,O00
Beans and cattle made up the rest.
Although the mention OF Morocco
always conveys the suggestion OF des-
ert. as matter OF fact the desert is
several hundred miles from the coast,
and between the two lies some OF the
most fertile land IN the world.
Great things are planned by the
French and Spanish invaders. though
the results OF their eonQuests are not
yet evident Among other things.
many vineyards have already been
set out II the results in Algeria are
any indication. the wine Of Morocco
may yet become famous.

CHANGES KEEP A MAN YOUNG
Altogether Too Many Make . Fad Of
Becoming "set In Their
Ways"

Though a mans body attains It's
full growth before his twenty-fourth
year. and probably earlier than that.
the growth OF his mind depends on
himself. He can continue adding to
the sum of his knowledge and his
power to reason until extreme old age
II he preserves his mental alertness
As long as he retains a fair meas
ure OF that curiosity about things
which often make him a nuisance
when boy and is interested In new
people. new sights. new books and the
thousand and one things that are
happening today, his mind continues
70 grow. But when q man finds that
change bores him and limits himself
TO one narrow round day after day,
he is really growing old mentally as
we'll as physically.
This premature ageing Of the brain
is often self.induced. There Is q class
OF men who make q fad of being un-
interested in passing events. They
will read only one paper. they will sit
only in one chair, they with eat only
at one table, they will vote only for
one party. the name OF which is the
same as that Of their forefathers, no
matter how much its principles may
have changed.
Though posing at nrst, they become
set in their ways" and then they
are really old even though their years
scarcely number two score. II mis-
fortune or unavoidable change IN his
mode OF life overtakes such a man
he is. like q homeless cat, miserable
for the rest Of his day. Those who
stay young mentally and spiritually
keep in touch with new people and
especiARy with the young, cultivate
the habit OF looking with clear eyes
on passing events. For them in their
daily lives there are no laws OF the
Msdss and Persians. They may wear
themselves out. but they do not rust
