Secret of Making Life Beautiful
Keep Your Eyes on the Heights 8:

Some years ago there were four chill
dren reared on a western farm. The
farm was never especially valuable and
was never properly developed. All the
children married and went into their
own homes. The time came when the
parents grew old and one died; then came
the idea of dividing the property" Two
OF the children signed away all rights
in favor OF third. who was remaining
in the old homo.
But the fourth member OF the family
entered a wild protest. claiming that the
matter was unjust and unfair, and
finally an aged parent was hailed into
court and a feud and enmity and Bit
teTness and hatred which covered a period
OF fifteen years ensued over that wretched

Imagine such a wretched use of beau

The same amount Of energy used con
structively would have enabled the trou-
BILE maker to have gone forth and created
a profitable business Of his own. Family
quarrels over money affairs are the mosi
isnoble and detestable form OF domestic
