prehensive additions and fearful in
situations, at once, they become pco-
pie with hideous tragedies.
In any corporate work. the dis
couraging woman is a perfect bug
bear. Every effort her co-workers
rake, no matter how earnest and
thoughtful, is, TN her mind, a mis-
Ia zen one. She portends failure
for every project. even at it's birth.
She is eternally pulling down. Her
self unable to build, she is merciIess
in her criticism of those who are en-.
deavoring to construct or do any
thing from the simple filling of q
missionary box to the planning Of

The discouraging woman thinks
her doctor knows nothing; thinks
her priest or pastor hopeiessly in
efficient; her tradespeople dishonest;
her servant incompetent; her
friends not attentive enough; her
husband unappreciative; her chill
drcr failures. She not only thinks
these things. but she says she
thinks them, Unfortunately, co

At times, we must all face evil
and discouragement. No one is per-

to strike again and again the sharp
discordant note OF contention and

upon the failures, never the sue

There Is subtle. spiritual courage
which comes with the knowledge
that one is on pedestal in another's

refuses this incense to those she
loves; she gets them down very
quickly from any would-be ped

her continual note OF i'll omen.

The Man Who Helps.

The man who has no time to help
the community in its struggle for
advancement is a man of extremely
ordinary ability.
1t takes all his time and effort to
make living.
The line between this man and
that of the community charge is hut
faintly defined
To make the definition clear, let
us say that the man who helps the
town is a community asset, and the
man who lends no such belp-is hot

AGE-HERALD TO PRINT LA WIS OF ALABAMA AS SER VICE TO THESTATE
Awarded Contract for Publishing State Laws Be Enacted By New Legislature for Contract Not Merely Mon etary Consideration-Paper Anxious That Laws Be Presented to the People Through States Great
 est and Most Widely Read Medium

Montgomery, October 2l.- (special) Today the contract for publishing the laws of the state to be enacted by the legislature during the next four years was awarded to The Age-Herald by cy- rus B. Brown. secretary of state.
 The law required MT. Brown to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. and provided that he must be guided. too, by the circulation of. the various newspapers entering bids.
 The bid of The Age-Herald was the lowest
 The Age-Herald, in submitting it's bid was not actuated by a desire to make money out of the treasury of an im- poverished state. By submitting a bid remarkable for it's low figure, The Age Herald expressed desire to publish the laws of the state in the greatest news paper medium of the state at merely nominal fgure-because, first, it regarded the laws of the state as a matter of news of great news value, and secondly. be- cause 1t wished to do the state service of great profit to the state. NOT ACTUATED BY
 DESIRE FOR PROFIT
 Accompanying the bid of The Age Herald was the following letter:
 Birmingham, Ala, October IS. 1914 Mir. Cyrus B. Brown. Secretary of State Montgomery Ala.
 My Dear Sir: In response to your noti- ncation inviting bid from The Age Herald for the publication of the state laws to be enacted by the next legis- lature, we present the following bid and reasons therefor:
 "In view of the recognition on the part of the people of the state of Alabama of The Age-Herald as the states main news paper medium. and in view of the fact that we consider the publication of the state laws of Alabama largely a matter of news, we shall be glad to print these lsws in attractive form. separated on sheets separate from news and advertis- ing matter. in order that they may be by lawyers and other interest cd parties. at cost merely sufficient to cover the white paper, ink, composition and mailing.

 Richard V. Lindabury of Newark. N. J.. spoke for five hours in defense of the corporation, after Jacob M Dickinson. chief counsel for the government. had concluded his opening address. MT. Dick nson went into the question of interlock- ing directors. He said that directors of the Steel corporation at various times were directors of railroad companies which controlled about half the mileage in the United States and gave instance where Steel directors sitting as railroad directors had an apparent influence ir steering business in the direction of the Steel corporation.
 History of Industry
 Mir. I.indabury went into the history of the iron and steel industry exhaustiveiy, giving n picture of the uncertain condi- tions in the buspess before the coming of the Steel corporation.

 Nr. Lindabury discussed tte circum- stances which led up to the organization of the Steel corporation. He denied there Was any intent to restrain trade or mo- nopolize the industry and argued that the merging of companies was done to save the sconcerns from going to pieces. He said the only thought of the promoters was to have plants that couid take the raw material and lay down the finished product at homo and abroad at prices that could not be bettered by other inanu- lecturers.
