ARE YOU PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE?

Success demands effort and sacrifice. This seems
like trite statement but is true that it will bear
repetition.
Men and women with their eyes successward do not
live each day entirely unto ITSELF they look toward the
future; they take thought Of the morrow, its
emergencies, it's possibilities, it's opportunities
1t is matter of most pressing Importance to every
young person to consider the advisaby of doing with
certain pleasures and expensive comforts at present
for the sake Of enjoying them longer at later period
What share of lifes comforts, enjoyments and free
dom from hardship do you want for later years?
From time immemorial, this question has found its
solution in willingness to make reasonable effort in
ones own behalf and to postpone little qualifications
that are not really necessary order to enjoy them
in multiplied ratio later on.
Look around you in this community. Consider the
lives of the successful here with whose history you
are familiar In nine out of ten isn't it true that
these men have found that early self denial and thrift
formed big part Of the price they had to pay for
material success?
Are you doing your part now-this very day to
provide for yourself against want in the future?

WANT BETTER PAY.

Postmaster General Burleson seems
determined to extend the parcels post
regulations SO that they Will INCLUDE
pretty nearly everything that can be
sent through the mall.
At the present time the railroads
are particularly bitter against the
postmaster generals program and are
asking the interstate commerce com.
mission for relief. They claim that
theY-receive no compensation now for
carrying parcels post packages and
that further extension Of the parcels
post regulations will mean great
loss to them in carrying the mails.
This week Representative Towner OF
Iowa filed a brief with the commission
in support Of Mr.. Burlesons plan to
admit books to the parcels post. This
plan has the support Of practically all
the librarians and scientific societies
In the country. It is expected to in
crease the number of books purchased
and read in this country. There seems
to be no argument against 1t except
that it will permit numerous mail or.
der houses to circulate their catalogues
q little cheaper than at present. A
special ruling could be made to pre-
vent this. In fact they could be barred
entirely from the malls by stretching
q point or two.
The reason the railroads are not get.
ting paid for the parcels post packages
Is that the government has contracts
with the roads to carry the mail, based
on weight The mail going over the
roads is weighed every four years
This was satisfactory to the roads as
long as 1t consisted largely of letters
and heavy mail, but many Of the par.
cells post packages are large and light
So now the roads want pay for space
used in the cars in addition to the
weight. They are getting a small
compensation for space, but not SO
much as they want. Also in the ma
iority of cases, the mail has not been
weighed @since the parcels post law
went into effect and the department
has refused to grant compensation to
the railroads in addition to that called
for in to Srar contracts, made after

A Few Laughs.
Wonderful Woodcraft.

During some army maneuvers two
officers of the royal artillery we're dis
putting about the classification Of a
tree. One said it was a birch tree and
the other an oak tree. They could
not agree, so they called a gunner who
was sitting near by and asked him II
he could tell them what kind Of tree
It was.
The gunner looked up and down the
tree. walked all around it, drew his
sword and began cutting it. The Of
ficers asked him what he meant by
this behavior, when he looked up at
them and answered:
Il am trying to discover what kind
of tree it is" t

LABOR STATISTICS.

The bureau of labor statistics or tne
federal government has been DUSTY
engaged in an, investigation Of the re-
lation of hours of labor to the amount
Of work done. It's inquiries have re-
suited in the following observations:
"The results prove beyond DOUBT
the contention of union labor for the
last half century, namely, that the
shorter work day increases the abiiity
and speed of the workman. Capltal

looked upon the whole affair as trick
Of imagination.
Some eighteen months later, while
he was smoking his pipe, a vivid
memory OF the girl swept over him.
The clinging touch of her fingers
seemed very real and he laughed q
half impatient laugh as he glanced at
his empty hands.
The door bell rang and a moment
later Trevor was opening package
addressed to him. He knew sudden

pecting something big to happen
something that would give him the
wonderous love he had vainly longed
for.
The package revealed statuette.

Iafterward famous art treasure.
Trevor drew long, happy breath
and gaZed at the figure Of girl in
an abandonment Of failure! she was
huddled at the base of a statue.
Trevor laughed aloud in the JOY
of the revelation. The girl then was
living in his world and was breath

not wrath, but a flesh and blood
woman, who had sent him message
In her statuette.

how seldom was he given the oppor-
tunity of rendering service.
The girl looked up through the
darkness, her eyes straining toward
Trevor's face. From his face her
glance travelled to his attire. and for
the first time she seemed to realize
that he was son of the rich. And
veyed in his words new radiance
flung out from her personality.
Trevor waited.
"Oh-if you only would" she half
breathed. ut would give me another

had vanished from her voice, leaving

Trevor dragged his thoughts from

import Of her next words.
