for the month becomes interesting showing how
the public moneys expended and how much Senator
Borah might be able to should he succeed in the de

According to the article in the American magazine

it is well expended and well worth the price In fact he
undertakes to two comparatively nsignlfi

are alone EACH worth the total expenditure of the entire

ONE day, little southern breeze,
oh just a baby southern breeze,
~ got lost from its mother, the
South Wind.
Usually all the little breezes staid close
by the big Mother Wind on her journey
northward in the spring. But this par
ticular little breeze got very tired with
the long trip and sleepy-so sleepy
that he just couldn't go any further.
So, without telling Mother Wind,
as he should have done, he hid in the
corner of great oak tree.
Sheltered and quiet i'll the snug cor
ner between branch and trunk he soon
dropped to sleep and the mother wind
without noticing him went on and on
with her journey.
All through the night the little breeze
slept.
In the morning the warm sunbeams
scampered through the big oak and
walked the little breeze from its long
nap; ,
as he stretched himself in the sunshine,
NOW can travel the rest of the
journey"
He looked around for his mother

L - IL HAS Deen SAID that the World
takes a man at his own valua-
ton. The obvious moral is:
n tack on all the valuation you
think you can get away with.
That the world will sometimes take
you at your own valuation is quite
true But it is equally true that over
valuation may prove boomerang.
To pretend that we are accustomed
to every luxury is to increase our value
in the eyes of our acquaintance, If we
can make them believe it to be true.
At the same time it often has another
effect.
Il should like to have had Mrs. s.
stay few days with US this summer
at the beach," l overheard a friend of
mine say the other day. she has a
very nice home, l know, and she is
quite splendid in refusing to desert her
husband during the hot months. never
theless 1 should think she would like
change. But she has everything in her
own home and we are quite primitive
here, so I'm afraid she wouldn't be
satisfied"
Now as a matter of fact. Mrs S. is
at home retrenching this summer be-
cause her husbands business has
fallen off She would have welcomed
ever SO gladly a chance to get away to
the seashore, and she would have en-
| joyed every minute of it, For though
| she likes to pretend differently, she
hasn't so much more than her neigh
bors have.
To pretend that we are so important
in business that the firm we are con-
nected with pays us big salary is also
apt to increase our value in the eyes
Of our acquaintance if we can make
them believe it to be true. Again this
| generalization may prove as much of 6
boomerang as it is of assistance.
l know a young man who holds g
good position but who is very much
underpaid Pride forbids him from let
ting this fact be known, instead he
boasts of the salary he says he is get
ting, In the last year another concern
was looking for an office manager at q
salary he would have jumped at. His
name came up.
Hes just the man we want" SAID
the vice president, but T s. Co. is
paying him a bigger salary than we
could possibly offer. You couldn't
touch him wit ha ten-foot pole" Sc
somebody else got the job.
In both these instances a successful
attempt was made to increase ones
valuation in the eyes of the others
And in both instances the deception
proved a boomerang.
So the moral is not quite so obvious
after all.

clared that thus far he had found no

The nature of the work explained,
perhaps, the few applicants he had
had. The job would only last a few
weeks and while he felt that eight
dollars was a reasonable wage for the
little effort the work required, he
knew it would not tempt an accom-
plished girl. Some one with no par

after.

So the little breeze waited. The oak
worked with all his might and main

Soon the tree was no longer bare, but
