THE CURE FOR DROWNINGs

II EXPERIENCE is an incompetent
teacher as to water sports.
- Boats seem so much safer than
the novice expects to find them. A lit
tie knowledge gives the feeling of
such unwarranted security that men
and boys of otherwise prudent judg-
ment enter upon risks which the best
trained among sailors would hesitate
to assume.
Thus it happens in Minnesota, in
Wisconsin, in Maryland, in Connect
cut, in Massachusetts,, in practically
every state of the Union, that at this
season the clammy horror of death by
drowning pierces the hearts of par
ents. Could there be any situation
much more tragic than that of the de-
livery to a mother and father of the
wet body of their dead son? Is there
in all the world any suffering much
greater than the shock, the sense of
utter futility, the emptiness of life
produced by this sudden and cold
affection?
Of course there is no cure that any
one will count cure. If there were
guard for every boat, some boys and
men would be overheard beyond their
depth before the guard could get from
stern to bow, some beginner among
sailors would crowd on too much sail
some Commodore" of a 20-foot
launch would make fast the painter
of a canoe in his wake.
But there is cure that will work
Like nearly every other cure, it de-
ponds upon parents. If they see that
their own children know how to
swim-not hundred yards, but half
mile; if they will make their boys
and girls acquainted with the dangers
of water; in other words, if they will
inculcate the calm prudence of the
veteran sailor in their children rather
than the fresh smartness of the nov
ice out for Sunday holiday, they can
make themselves and their home Sc
cure against the misery which now
shows through the columns of every
Monday newspaper

THE ART OF NEIGHBORING

TINE metropolitan papers are hav-
ing a good bit Of fun over the
= personal Mention" columns
of their country cousins.
Some of these same country cou-
sins are foolish enough to become a
bit excited over this attempt at ridi-
Guile.
But why should they mind? Why
should the opinion of so slight thing
as the City Press bother US one whit :?
Besides this same City Press has
the wrong viewpoint-and we are
sorry for them for it.
Neighboring is an unknown guam
tity, lost art, in city life of the pre-
sent day. The city-dwellers, the cliff
jewellers of the apartment house, have
the best opportunities in the world
for enjoying pure neighborliness-
make absolutely no use of them.
There are no neighbors in the city!
Some fortunate beings may have
friends, but the majority of them only
have acquaintance, and when one is
sick, orin trouble, or in debt, acquaint-
ances are about as helpful as sun
shade when the temperature is 40 de-
grees below.
We glory in our neighbors, in the
possibility of having more neighbors,
in the privilege of recording the go
ings and comings of those same
neighbors in our columns week after
week.
To be interested in what the people
about you are doing is not idle curlos-
ity; to record these doings is not to
cater to gossip. Both simply show an
interest in the lives with which we
come in contact every day, and with
out that interest one might as well be
dead so far as his helpfulness to hu-
mainly is concerned.
We have no patience with the sup
eriority that scorns to rejoice at the
birth of child, to be happy with a
bride or to grieve at the death of
some ones else loved one. A life SO
narrow that it is incapable of feeling
the heart throbs of lives surrounding
it, is not life-it is an existence.
To be a neighbor is a privilege; to
have a neighbor blessing.
Thank God for plain old-fashioned
country Neighbors!

with the publisher. He isn't keeping
alert. He doesn't study the public
taste. He takes it for granted that
because certain type of magazine
was popular twenty years ago, when
he began business, it must be popular
today. So he fails to adapt himself
to the changing requirements Of the
day, and he finally goes to the wall.
The situation isn't confined to the
magazine world. It develops in every
line of business. A man who was
highly prosperous a decade or two ago
sees his business slipping from him
and complains about "hard times"
But his live competitor doesn't find

THE WORLDS GREATEST FORCE
THOUGHT

4 S rule one finds what he is
II looking for.
= Some people look for the
bright, others for the dark, some for
the good, others for the bad.
1t makes but little difference where
you go or what you do; the things
you want, the things you cultivate,
the things on which you set your
heart and towards which you direct
the secret thought of your inmost
soul are the things you will eventual
ly discover, the things that will come
to you and fill your life for veal or
woe.
Those who are always looking for
the bad find it no matter where they
go.
To the man whose thoughts are i'm
pure there comes the impure-comes
from all manner of places, from all
conditions and circumstances.
AS man thinketh so is he, has
been an accepted theory, an estab-
lished fact, ever since man began to
cogitate upon the why and the where
for of existence.
There is no force in nature stronger
than thought.
The thought force has created all
the phenomenon of achievement we
see about US.
Wherever man is striving, accomp-
fishing, working there the thought
force is operative
You can not separate the achieve
ment of man from the thought of man
you can not have results of hand or
brain without thought.
Does oneman achieve greater results
than another? Then he thinks great
er thoughts-there is no other differ
ence.
We say that a man is a keen and
clear thinker and thereby consider that
we have paid him the highest compli-
ment for intellectually.
Was Lincoln great? If so it was
because he was able to think great
thoughts.
Was Napoleon great soldier? If
so, it was because he had a great mind
trained to think on the subject of war.
Was Gladstone great statesman?
If SO, he was first great thinker in

THOUSANDS OF
POSTMASTERS
MAY LOSE JOBS

According to an executive order is
sued by President Wilson, practically
all Fourth Glass Postmasters will be
compelled to take Civil Service ex-
animation to determine whether they
may continue to hold their Offices.
These examinations will be open to all
other applicants who may want the
postmastership.
Appointments of Fourth Class Post
masters will hereafter be for life.
The man who gets the job this time
will have it as long as he lives.
A Fourth Class Postmastership
pays as high as $1,000 a year, with
Money Order and Registry Fees ex-
ira, but it is worth several times that
amount to any merchant. The entire
population served by the Post Office
and its Rural Routes comes into his
store to transact business. Thousands
of dollars of additional trade can thus
be secured.
IF youhave the Post Office, you can't
afford to lose it. If you don't have
the. Post Office, NOW is your chance
to get it. The office will go to the
man passing the best examination,
and he can hold it for the rest of his
life.
For over 10 years the international
Correspondence Schools have been

OLD TIME ECONOMY

Miss Betty Rodgers of Austin,
Texas, has started campaign of
old time thrift. She is going to
teach girls "how to scrimp and
save in the kitchen and throughout
the household"
This may be viewed with secret
approval by Mr. Newlywed. But
has either he or his wife the moral
courage for any of the old arts
by which family resourc es used to
be conserved?
Who today, for instance, would
be willing to use lamplighters in
order to save matches: Yet many
prosperous business men of tuday
can recall perfectly this means of
economy, as an element in their
early home life. In many sub
stantial homes of rs years ago,
others would carefully extinguish
all of the oil lamps that were not
actually being used for work or
reading. Today one is ashamed to
turn, out electricity or gas, for
fear of being thought saving"
