In Praise of Old Sums
THEN

THEN
If six men use nine thousand bricks
To pave a city street,
How many hours must they work
If they should use concretef
That was the kind of sums We dit
Back when 1 was a little kid.
If a cartwheel with eleven spokes
Is thirteen feet around,
How quickly must bulldog run
To overtake houndf
When teacher used to tell us to,
Those were the sums We had to do.
NOW
If beef has gone up fourteen cents
While salaries stand pat,
How shall / manage to contrive
To buy Friend Wife a hatf
The chief of all my present ills
Is-how to solve my monthly bills.
If food and rent, and coal and ice,
And kiddies' clothes cost more,
How can l make a dollar do
The work it did before?
Compared to this-my present rack
I'd rather have the old sums back.

The Building Trades Council of Bak-
ersfield. Cal, has adopted novelty at
its meetings by inviting a prominent
citizen to preside during the proceedings,
and when the business of the meeting
is over the honored citizen tells the
Council the thoughts that are IN his
mind. The first prominent citizen to
preside was judge of the District
Court. Other labor organizations might
adopt this innovation with profit dur
ing the winter to put ginger into
weary sessions.

his time, his natural dignity was only
equalled by his simplicity. He had

II had no weight against the interests
of the people Of his country.
Washington was a modest man. He
was modest enough to know that he
was not a genius born of heaven. He
knew that his success in whatever he
had undertaken came TO him very
largely because he was industrious
and gave his heart TO whatever ne un-

Intellectually his superior. Others
eXcelled him as a statesman; and yet
his place in the hearts Of his cOun-

admit that he was exceIed by any
one in any respect This is perhaps
the greatest tribute that can be paid
him. 1t was this, coupled with his
patriotism, that gave him a hold up
on and a standing with his country
men that no other American has ever
had.
Not a Trimmer.
WASHINGTON was not a trimmer.
He always had the courage of his con-
victions. He loved the people and

to stand for what he conceived to be
right even when he felt they would
not acquiesce in his views. Note his

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. lS.-GOv.
Samuel NJ Ralston mas called upon
the people OF Indiana to celebrate the
birthday of the father Of his country,
George Washington, and has outlined
his ideas of Washington in the an
nual governors proclamation on the
subject.
"Feb./2 d is a sacred day in the
memory Of American citizens" the
governor said. 1T is the day on
which the father of his country.
George Washington, was born. on
the day of his birth the American
colonies were enjoying a session Of
peace. The calm everywhere preva-
lent among them in 1882 was in a
large measure afterwards reflected in
the character of the man this day
born. Soon after his birth events be-
gan to occur that became epOchal in
the nations life, and il is interesting
10 note that by the time Washington
had completed his first manhood he
found himself face to face with the
great revolution in which he after
wards became such a dominant figure
Every citizen who is familiar with the
early history of this nation knows of
Washington's early experiences. He
knows of the early difficulties this
great man confronted in his young
manhood, and Of his loyalty to every
trust committed TO him.
Retiring in Disposition.
Washington was retiring in dis
position. He never sought public
preferment though he had it thrust
upon him in spite of his attempts to
