NOW THE TIME TO BCI.D.
Industry Is Not Active: Better Terms
Are Possible.

Duluth Herald.
Most people build homes IS most
people buy stocks-when everybody
else is doing the ans thing.
So. as those who buy stocks when
stock buying is popular pay dearly
for their bargains. those who build
homes when every body is building
must pay through the nose.
The wise investor buys stocks when
nobody else Will bay, because they
are cheap then. Buy low and sell nigh
is the simplest business rule. The
reason the few make money in stocks
while the many lose is that the many
bay high and sell 10"
building a home when building is
active is building when labor is fully
employed; when contractors have SO
much to 60 that one other JOB ISM
tempting; when dealers in building
materials are SO busy filling orders
that they have no time 10 make tenn
pting offers to prospective builders.
Building a home when building e
dull is precisely the opposite. Con
tractors. to keep busy, will make a
dollar do the work of q dollar and 2
quarter. LAHORE not being fully en-
ployed, seeks work eagerly and when
il gets it gives more for q days wages
than when If it loses one job it can
instantly turn to another. That's just
human nature. Dealers in building
supplies, TO move their stocks, via
cut their bids to the bone.
There hasn't been i better time
| than now to build, everybody in the
building business tell US. Tor many

(By William T. Ellis.
Ripe IN years, rich in experience,
above all other mortals the Apostle
Paul poured out his counsel 10 tn
child of his heart, young Timothy
What the greatest intellect and char
acter the world has ever known
would ~bequeath To a young man for
whom he coveted the best things Is
surely worthy Of closest study. These
messages are found III two of the
New Testament books which are pc
c~uliarly the literature II youth, the
two Epistles to TimotI y. That ar
dent, vibrant, heroic note to which
youth most naturally responds is
found TO an unusual degree in these
letters to the young minister who
was following in the footsteps Of his
friend and teacher. This IS the
literature of fire or power, as
the schoolboOks classify literature
This weeks Christian Endeavor
topic will v been a%bundantly jus
titled if it sets young men and wom-
Ell to a study OF the letters Of Paul
to Timothy.
Nobody ever dreamed or drifted
into a characters; this prize comes
only by conscious effort. Courageous
endeavor is the secret of all conQuests
worth while.
Timothy had met the criticism
which is familiar to most Christian
EndeaVOrers, tina OF his youth. The

s~cendingly pOn him because he was
SO young. Age mikes no graveT
blunder than this one of regarding
with contempt the dreams and en-
deavors Of youth. Wise Paul had the
insight to perceive where his friend
needed heartening, 50 he cried, l.
no man despise thy youth" Again
and again the apostle returned te
that theme. Youth, with its high
dreams and its heroic aspirations, is
a sacred time, as sacred as old age
The flame in the heart Of youth i
lighted by Cod; let no man despise
it. It is a grave offense for men anC
women, who have themselves pas
the time OF even desire to DO grea
things, to da1npen the ardOr of those
whose day is still al the sunrise. Her,

into modern English: ID not lie

you are young, but be an example t

Flight ii good fight" is the key
note of his topic. This q the mes
sage, the charge, which Iaul laid
upon Timothy. The highest field for
the exercise Of courage is within the
realm of character. Goodness, ever
boldneSs,' is the warrior word for
the Christian. Paul, that dauntless
fighter, both preached and exelnpli-
fed it. The keynote OF the Book Of
the Acts may be found in the word
"boldness." Then, and now, when
men ''beheId III holiness Of the dis
ciples, they took knowledge Of them

J~ellyfish goodness is badness.

Boston, Jan. 26.-Four states, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Mas
sachusetts, were asked today to Join
in action aiming at the rehabilitation
of the Boston & Maine Railroad when
the five federal trustees, appointed
last fall, announced plan which they
believe would save the big northern
New England transportation system
from being split up into its original
small lines.
The proposed legislation was ex-
planned at a special meeting Of the
trustees by Judge Marcus Knowlton
of Springfield, chairman Of the trus-
tees. The bankrupted condition of the
property was acknowledged and the
needs of modification Of the heavy
interest charges imposed by the leases
entered into in its more prosperous
days was emphasized.
