On account of the fact that all

in job printing are higher than ever
before within our experience, we
find it necessary to require cash on
delivery for all job work. We feel

necessity that compels US to this
course and help US by paying prompt

and falling off in advertising pat

MANS ACTS ALWAYS HIS OWN
Idle to Claim That One Is Compelled
by Others to Do or Be
Anything.

Don't fool yourself with the idea
that you are compelled to do or be
anything. You are not doing things
I"cause you are compelled to, but be-
cause you choose to. Because there
is one line of reasoning within your
self that keeps you choosing to do
them. You never lift your hand un-
less you choose to. You never get
out of bed in the morning except as
you choose to. You could lie down
on the bed this moment and never
move hand or foot again if you chose
to, and your friends, CT your town,
or somebody, or something, would
take care of you.
Quit foollng yourself by laying the
blame for your condition, or your
feelings, or your thoughts or actions
on to somebody else. Trace every
thing back to its root in your own
choice. Ask yourself why you choose
to do what you do, and keep asking
until you know the truth.
! Lay the blame for everything on
your own choice; review the condi-
tions and make the right choice for
every step, and you will very quickly
find yourself walking the straight
and narrow path that is infinite
peace and freedom. You will find
your prayers rising to the Infinite
and their answers lifting cheerfully
in your own heart.-Pittsburgh Dis
patch.

Mention of iron crosses recalls the
fact that oneof the few civilians ever
decorated with the iron cross was the
late Archibald Forbes, the war cor
respondent, who received it for his
work in the Franco-German war, in
which he represented the Daily
News. 1t is almost needless to add,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, that iron
crosses were not scattered promiscu-
ously in those days, and that to get
one was regarded as a high honor.

pie seldom write. They can not be
expected to be scrupulously perfect
in things in which they do not spec
ialize. But every person in college
community where higher learning Is
the commodity most generally sought,
the power Of speech is universally en-
joyed. Man and woman alike use
spoken language many hours every
day for conveying thoughts. The
medium for transmission OF thought
so generally and widely used de-
serves careful study. The expression
of ones thoughts in perfect English
stamps the speaker as a person of re-
finement and culture. The posses
sion of all college degrees known and
a professorship of science in the
greatest of colleges would not make
the ungrammatical man seem cul-
tured.
A persons speech is the beginning
