MAY MEAN A GREATER CANADA.

One Of the map-making results of the European
war may appear on this side of the Atlantic. This
possibility is the annexation OF Newfoundland to
Canada Probably there many Americans un-
aware of the fact that the Newfoundlander. although
a British subject, is not Canadian In 1857 when
the Dominion of Canada formed by the union of
provinces Newfoundland sent delegates to ottawa to
discuss federation, but the proposition, as framed,
was rejected by the voters of the big island; the gov
ernment which had advocated acceptance OF the
terms being swept out OF power. In 1sss 1892 and
1898 the question came up again and each time New

TURNING THE WASTE TO ACCOUNT.

We Americans gradually conquering our ma
ticnal vice of wastefulness. Within the memory os
this generation Of cotton seed used to be thrown
away utterly worthless, and beside every cotton
gin a pile of 1t left to rot. Chemistry found
the oil in the seed and way to take 1t out, and now
the products of cotton seed have added 5000 900
year to the value of the cotton crop. Industrial
chemistry announces another great achievement
in the discovery of process by which the cotton
stalks of the South will be used for the making of
paper and other valuable products In the Southern
States 75,000,00O tons of cotton stalks thrown
away each year enough to make all the paper used in
this country.
Industrial chemistry is also at work upon plans
to turn the wastage in Southern numbering
into profit It Is estimated that when methods
have been devised and put in to take alcohol and
other products from the sawdust and waste OF the
Southern yellow pine mills. the profit from that alone
Will be far greater than the profit of numbering 1t
is done
In the same way patience and study applied to
the enormous waste of coke and gas works and
the deposits of kep the coast will ultimately
solve the dyestun and potash problems and make us
independent of Germany.

One of the pet of State socialism of the
LaFoette brand has gone into the scrap heap. Wis
consin announces the abandonment of State life In
after experience of only year of actual
operation. Under the act of 1911 life fund was
established to be administered by the State, for the
purpose of granting life insurance and annuities to
residents choice offered of ordinary life
twenty-payment life, ten-year endowment, and term
policies up to the age of sixty-fve. Not than
81 900 could be written any person In the first
year of business 500 written 311 lives
and between $1,000 and $12,00 paid in premiums.
An attempt was made at the last general election
to obtain constitutional amendment to broaden the
of this system of Insurance. but the voters re-
jected it by majority of more than 100000. Sew
eral other propositions in line with the Wisconsin
idea were also defeated overwhelmingly Bills to
repeal oppressive laws relative to the regular life
Insurance companies have been prepared and will be
introduced at the next session OF the legislature
Many of the insurance companies have withdrawn
from the State because of the LaFoette domination
The people of Wisconsin have come to the con-
clusion that the old ways best.

Try to catch the rhythm of life and

stroys executive power. Learn to let
go. Stop resisting or trying to run
things that do not concern you; try

infinitely more effective by being in
harmony with your environment and
with your neighbors than by keeping

BETTER GALL OFF THE OLYMPIC GAMES

prominent writer athletic affairs says that
any American city with stadium seating $4,000
people and willing to put up guarantee fund of
81 90 900 have the Olympic games next year for
the asking It is certain that the meet will not come
off In Berlin, according TO the schedule. Neither
Germany any other European nation, whether
fighting or neutral will be in shape to take care OF
the event. There appears to be good reason for call
ing off the games altogether far next year is
concerned. In the meet three years ago at Stock
holm the United States got eghtyfye points, against
ninety nine for all other nations combined, and sixty
six of the latter scored by athletes from coun
tries at war, Great Britain and her colonies
accounting for twenty-seven. Many of the most
promising British athletes have been killed or dis
abled In the Finland, part of the Russian
dominons, had twenty nine points and the Firms
have their share in the losses of the great con-
fict or the nations taking part in 1912 only three
besides the United States not engaged in the war;
and these are Sweden. Greece and Norway. 1t would
be taking unfair advantage ofthe rest of the world
for America to have the Olympic games of 1915

UPLIFT TALKS
THE STRENGTH OF SERENITY
BY oRIsoN SWEET MARDEN.
Auth0 Il Pushing to the 'front.' Etc
Copyrighted 1915.

Some ono has said that an undi-
rected mind is like lightning; 1t does
a lot of harm and no good. When you
allow yourself to be worked up"
over trifles your mind is without q
guide. 1t has escaped your control,
and you are in danger of doing fool
ish things.
A worked up, hurried mind not only
wastes energy frightfully, but is
never at peace or efficient No one
thinks of asking or taking the advice
of a person who is all worked up. 1t
is the balanced, poised, serene per-
sonality that gives confidence.
Some people are worked UP most of
their lives, fretting and stewing be-
cause everything does not go Just as
they want it, or because those about
them do not do as they wish. They
feel great sense of responsibility
for others conduct and acts; they
seem to think that everything de-
pends upon themselves, that they
must run the universe and control
everybody about them. They fritter
away their energy, and waste their
vitality in resisting, in trying to ac-
cornpnsh what they were not intended
to do, so that they are never them
selves, and defeat the very ends
which they try to attain.
Now things worth while are not ac-
complished in this way. The hurry
habit spoils life. it is death to quail
ity, and to all efficiency. People who
fret and fuss and fume in their work,
who hurry and worry, cannot, and
never do, accomplish great things.
Lack of poise and q confused sense
Of hurry are symptoms of weakness,
not Of strength.
Power is like the big river, which
flows noiselessly, weakness is like
the shallow brook. whose waters dash
and foam, and make lot of noise,
but are easily intercepted, or stopped,
because they carry very little power.
1t Is the calm, serene, balanced mind
that carries power. The restless,
hurrying. worrying soul dissfpates Its
strength. People who are forever fly
| ing around, always in haste, are, an
rule, easily worked up" and are
much of the time out of balance
While storrning over little things
they often neglect those that are OF
real Importance. I have known

ploye to ruin $40 worth of work Of a

he saw my father he said, Come and

My father replied that he did not
play but said he had a son with him
who was reported to be a pretty good

I did sometimes he invited me to

Then he took. from his pocket a

saying that I deserved even better
reward for the skill I had shown in
playing checkers than could be given
by mere words. Again he patted me
on the back.

Navy to Sell 10000 Suits of PaJamas-
Sailors Won't Wear EN-.

Seventy thousand suits of pajamas
are going to waste in the United
States navy. Every battleship and
cruiser has bales of them stored in
their slop chests. The reason Is that
the tars refuse to wear any such con-
traption. The Army and Navy Jour
nal is authority for this statement.
Two years ago orders were issued
that pajamas be provided for enlisted
men, and 1t was assumed that this
article of night apparel would soon
become very popular. Something like
100, 900 pairs were purchased, and
sailors were notified they could draw
them whenever they liked
For q time there was no demand,
but finally some of the men discov-
cred q use for the garments. About
80 900 pairs were distributed. Then II
was found that the seamen were
using the pajamas as underwear,
others wore them while coaling ships

offer 10000 suits of paiamas for sale

achieved success as writer's, and for
many years they lived together in
New York. where they counted
among their friends many of the

would be hard to say which of the
sisters had the greater ability.
Phoebe possessed more humor and
more spirit and was better oonver-

ways took a larger share of the
