Shall we live in the con-
sciousness of sensation,
of self, in memory of
the past, in trouble,
fear, worriment, in mat
ter and circumstance?
Or shall we dwell on
the end to be reached
through all this process,
the larger self, the spir-
it, the real or eternal?
The mind must choose;
for there is literally no
room for trouble and
for trust. Either you
are to look upon your
self as all-important and
try to have things cir
culate about YOU, or
you are to regard the
infinite as first and
yourself as part of it.
To lose self, that one
may find it, is in fact
the essence of healing;
for, invariably, there is
too great consciousness
of self whenever there
is trouble.
We cheat ourselves
when through mental
paralysis, we take away
the educational oppor-
tunity of experience.
The real healing of a
fault IS in it's transfor-
nation, and this comes
as soon as it's benefcent

and these who are asked give 1t.
This of course does not mean that
one never should take counsel with
another, but it is never safe or
profitable to wait to talk things
over with many people, or to allow
ones sober, intelligent judgment
to be overruled by another. For
an educated will must be self-re-
liant, self-restrained, self directed
and under self control.
But very often good advice is
presented to us unsolicited. On
such occasions it is to our advan-
tage to heed and follow it. During
a recent visit paid me, just such an
occurrence arose. Having changed
positions, l explained my past and
present duties, to which ] received
this reply: Each of you who are
here must fill a niche; if your work
is scrubbing floors, or you are en-
ployed in the shops, or acting as
the head of a department, no mat
ter in what capacity you are en-
ployed, DO YOUR WORK
WELL!' That is good, sound ad-
vice. For that reason am anxious
to pass it among you, with the
question, are you filling your
niche?
An article under the heading,
GOOD ADVICE" which was recent
ly published in this paper, said in
part: IF you want to get along
right we'll learn one sort of work
to get along by, and all sorts of
work to get living with when
your one sort gives out::" and our
friend Ham" writes the following
in the same issue: ''How many of
US are preparing the road for a
safe journey when we leave here?
How many have permitted the
months, even the years, to slip past
without making any effort to build
roadway of preparedness strong
enough to sustain journey to the
land of achievement"
There is big difference between
managing a mercantile establish
ment and looking after the assort-
ment of papers that are distributed
among US; there is a big difference
in selling advertising to large cor
porations, and sewing on buttons;
there is big difference between
practicing law and working in the
shops; there is a big difference in
conducting real estate business
aud washing floors; but in you
there is no difference. Learn to
adapt yourself to any situation or
condition, and do the task which is
set before you as you would want
it done if you were the employer.
If you are in charge of a de-
partment and do some of your
work some of the time, using the
balance of your employers time
for your personal benefit, you
set bad example for those in
your charge, and cannot complain
if they follow you. If you are one
of many in a department, attend
closely to your own work, do it
we'll and you will soon see that
others copy you.
You must have seen enough of
life to understand that our i'm
prlsonment, honor and success de.
pend on nothing so much AS on
force of purpose. We may have
many good feelings and disposi-
tions; but if we waste energy to
put aside a pleasure, to carry our
resolutions into effect amidst diff
culties, ennui and privations, we
are good for little, we shall accom-
plish little, we shall be the sport of
circumstances, we shall not be

Within the National Forests OF Dis

livestock raised in this territory Is
grazed during the summer season.
During the season of 1915. on the

400 cattle and IA horses were killed
by predatory animals, among which
the COYOTE is the chief offender. Late

report a total of 1,168 killed during
1915. This number while not large
means a considerable saving to the
stockmen grazing their herds on the
forest ranges.
Poisonous plants killed 5000 sheep
225O cattle and IL horses on the for
ests during the past year. Disease
has a toll of 527s sheep, 655 cattle
and 90 horses.
Summarized, the known losses o
livestock on the forests during 1916
from the three listed causes, amount
ed to $1,000 sheep, 1870 cattle an
12O horses, having a total value G
s435,O00 on an approximate est
mate. One-half OF the total numbe

The price of hogs on the local mar
ket is steadily advancing, and we
understand cents is being paid this
week. Speaking of the cause OF the
gradual advance in the price of hogs.
the Omaha Journal-Stockman says;
Many theories are advanced con-
cerning the recent and present sharp
advance in the hog market but II
seems to be simply case of supply
and demand. Packers are finding the
supply of hogs short of expectations
particularly in the matter of weigh'
and they are finding the demand
greater than expected, especially
from the south. With smaller sup
ply and a larger demand than wa
figured on, the advance in price
seems to be entirely natural"
