Grief and Joy.

There is no perfect happiness in this
world. No one lives but has his share
of sorrow to bear. Sympathy of
friends may alleviate but cannot lift
the burden from the shoulders. Some
sorrows are of your own making.
Some are caused by others. those who
have been dear to you. whom you
have loved or for whom you are re-
sponsible. Some. like the death of
one near and dear to you, are in ac-
cordance with the laws OF God. Grief
that ia unavoidable should be borne
with courage.
When you find yourself unhappy,
stop to think what makes you so. Is
It some fault Of your own? II so,
think whether there is not something
you can do to make matters better.
II the fault is another's, still see

Our Uncle Sam thinks so much of

has appointed two assistants to the

now arranging for canning cam
paign to cover as much OF Colorado
as possible. We do not know how
much extra help the club work will
have next year, but we feel sure the
work will go on splendidly: we are
grateful to the Department of Agri-
culture for the splendid help 1t has
given the work and we promise our
clubs and our people to keep these
club workers on the move to earn
Uncle Sans money. In the meantime
keep busy in your gardens, club mem
bers. and get ready for canning enough
vegetables to last all winter. When
we quit buying canned corn, we will
have more money to spend for books

whether you cannot help to make 1t
right. When nothing can be done. do
not sit down and nurse your grief.
That only makes it heavier. Rather
try to get your mind on something
else. There are sources of happiness
to which you can turn If you seek
them. A good way to lessen your
sorrow is to seek out those whose
sorrows are greater than your own.
Just as happiness that is shared is
doubled, grief shared is divided.
Nothing can make you happy If you
do not cultivate the proper disposi-
ton. Then cultivate that. Do not
allow trifling matters to disturb you.
Seek happiness by giving happiness.
Rejoice in all the good in others. in
all noble deeds done. in all that helps
the world to grow better. Much sor-
row is selfishness. Put selfishness
out of your own heart. and you will
find happiness looming up much larger
than sorrow.

err is a nuisance in town when he

is against all improvements because
such things cost money and he wants

farm. Don't buy more land but i'm
prove what you have. Put in sys-
tenn OF waterworks so you can take n
bath once In while. Put in light

and books without straining your eyes
and keep well informed. Stay on
your farms and when you finally pay
