A Virtue Of Necessity

To be able to make a virtue of necessity is a considerable virtue in itself. We often hear it said of a person that he is, in the ex- pressive venacular, putting up a good bluff. Usually the re- mark is prompted by amuse- ment or compassion rather than by admiration. Yet the quality that has inspired is one that, properly recognized, deserves the more desired and more grudgingly, awarded tribute.
 The people on whom admiring eyes rest and who draw admir- ing comment are those who are sailing prosper ously thru life. They do not have to resort to makeshifts, more or less thinly disguised; {; they are not tempted to wrap themselves in an austere reti- cense; they turn a kindly face on a world that treats them kindly; superficial observation detects no shams about them to be penetrated and ridiculed. For easy going prosperity. which so little needs it. there is always plenty of admiration.
 But to the man or the woman whose life is gallant effort under handicaps. the stimulus of admiration comes only from the rarely understanding soul: most people apparently think it natu- raj for one in such circumstances to make the best of bad busi- ness, and slightly amusing and at the same time pitiful for him to be trying to put up bluff. " If you are in the habit of using those expressions, check your self the next time one of them comes to your lips. and think whether the subject of your comment does not deserve to be described in terms of greater dignity. Those who are making virtues out of necessities are en- gagged in one of the most diff cult and useful manufacturing processes that have ever been discovered. -EX.

ALL REPORTS MAY BE TRUE

A man who has visited the battle front in Europe doesn't dispute any of the reports which he reads. He knows that about all of them may be true. Where men are fighting over a three hundred mile course, there is no way of describing the activities. One side may win one place and the other side at another place. Both may therefore claim vic tories. and justly, the day.
 The trouble with this war is, it is too big for the human mind to grasp. The capture of q thousand men or of ten thou sand. or even fifty thousand. may not mean anything. The gain of a few feet at one point may mean much, and the loss of fifty miles at another point may mean nothing at all. Some on this side of the ocean can only read the reports with wonder ment. and with whispered pray CTS that the whole damnable thrnr onv,n tn on and
 So far the reports from Ger many seem to have been the most reliable. We recall no specific instance where a report sent out of Germany was abso- lutely untrue. But so far as that is concerned, none of the war offices send out absolute falsehoods. All of them. how ever. send out misleading re- ports in that they minimize the losses and magnify the successes. Every time any of the contend ing forces lose ground. it is 'un- important. A retreat becomes a "readjustment of the lines" when it is reported by the na- tiOn making the retreat: it is ''rOut" when reported by the tiOn pres sing [ h e retreat. And so it goes. And still all reports may be true it all depends upon the point of view. Southwest American.

 Most Decided Success

The Merry College Force" presented by the Juniors of the high school at the auditorium last evening pleased a large audience as in all Ozark home talent plays. The characters are all stars. They appear with such ease that they rival the profess ionals.

Evangel Galloway, Messrs Alex Treadway, Sam Davis, Howard Reynolds, Maberry Ford, Ches- ter Thompson, Ellis Highfill Harold Ford.
