TRYING TO BE Different
Ambition Which Makes Most People
Who Are Possessed of 1t,
Difficult to Tolerate.

How often do you hear the re-
mark, "Pm different from other
people about that" spoken in tones
of pride, of course, the Ohio State
Journal remarks. Of course the
speaker is different from other
people. We are all different and we
are all astonishingly alike, too. There
are people, however, who are "try-
ing to be different" a principle
which usually results in simply max
ing them consistently disagreeing
and hence disagreeable. There is no
reason why we should not agree with
a friend, if we honestly can, nor
why we should not as cheerfully dis
agree if in honesty we must. But
the person who always disagrees,
who has the habit of saying, 'No, /
don't think So" before he finds out
what he really does think, is-well
difficult person to meet on hot
day.
Trying to be different is like try,
ing to be original and wins about
the same success. We remember once
seeing a young girl trimming hat,
and she was giving it most weirdly
impossible and unbecoming outline.
"I know it isn't fashionable" she
explained, "but l want to be origi-
nal" 1t is in the same way that
some people mold their conversation.
They may know that what they are
saying is unreasonable, but they
want it to be different"

promise to try to make or earn other
property to be used for good Chris

The cotton crop is about all in

gins are now small. Considering
the crop shortage, however, the
seasons run has been entirely
satisfactory to the ginners. At
one time they figured that less

ginned here, but receipts up to

cally all of this cotton has been
sold on the Washington market

UNABLE TO HOLD TRADE GAIN
Japanese Makers Of Toys Lose Their
Chance to Secure Big Hold
on the Industry.

Japan's tE&, in toys, which once.
showed a steadily increasing tenden-
cy, owing to the recession of Aus
trian and German merchants from
the trade arena, is reported from Yo-
kohama to have shown quite con-.
trary tendency lately.
Immediately after the outbreak of
war American and Japanese toy
makers were suddenly called upon
20 supply toys that had been fur
! ished by Austrian and German
!. manufacturers. The japanese man
'acturers particularly were looked
- the dealers in the Philippines,
ne Dutch Indies and India for the
SnpplI of colored-paper toys, small
flags and wooden models.
Thus trade showed a great expan-
sion and inspired hope in the jap
anese manufacturers, who then sent
their representatives to those south
ern markets and Investigated the
possibility Of the line. Some of them
had already carried out great in
crease in their operations. Before,
however, the extension had been fully
effected the sudden contraction of
trade came.
japanese toys appear good, but are
declared to be not durable. The COL
oring is also said to be poor and not
durable, particularly when the goods
are sent to southern lands.

PRICE PAID FOR CIVILIZATION
Only Those Races Who Are Willing
10 Take Trouble Move Onward
In Steady Progress.

DIR. T. N. Carver, author and
specialist in economics, gives this an
ecdote in an article on "Taking
Pains"
"There is a story of an aged saw
age who, after having lived in civil
lized communities most of his life,
returned in his old age to his native
tribe, saying he had tried civiliza-
ton for forty years and it wasn't
wort the trouble. Much of the
philosophy of civilization is summed
up in that remark. Civilization con-
sists largely in taking trouble. Gen.
ius, in the individual, has been said
to consist in the capacity for taking
infinite pains in ones work. 1t is
this capacity which marks the su-
perior race as well as the superior
individual. They who find the TAX
ing Of pains too burdensome to be
borne will naturally decide that civil
lization is not worth the trouble.
They who do not find it SO very bur-
densome to take pains will naturally
decide that civilization is worth the
trouble and will therefore become
civilized.
''This principle applies to every
stage of civilization and progress.
The greatest advancement is made
by those who are capable of taking
greatest palms."
