THINKLETS
(By HARRY STOCK
Ideals are like watch crystals. They
are so easily broken.
iBy HARRY STOCK

Ideals are ike WAUGH crystals. 1nSy
are so easily broken.
A man with a crouch has decreased
his efficiency forty per cent.
We believe in conservative estimates
in such cases. The cause for crouch
may be sufficient to warrant such
state of mind.
We must always pay the price Of
pleasure. But pleasure is worth the
price.
Adversely and responsibility are only
of charactes. Our littleness
is made smaller and our bigness IS
made larger through them.
There is one thing that will cause
any mans anger to rise. That is to
see fish pulled out of the same hole he
has been fishing unsuccessfully.
Fastidieusness is an enviable attri-
butte, but it ought never be taken
along with a camping outfit.
One canuot strike their gait in a day.
One must crawl before he can walk. =
Despite popular opinion, school teach
ers, lawyers, preachers, and several
other classes are only human.
The toll of a day may seem for
naught. But toll of years stands as q
living monument to LIES work.
Blessed is the man who shoulders
another's load. Thrice blessed is he
who can distinguish between the wor-
thy and the unworthy, puts his efforts
to the bettsrment of conditions of the
worthy.
No one can think for you. They
might suggest way to work out your
thinking for you however.
A man is as great or as small as he
believes. If one thinks little thoughts
he will do little deeds. If he thinks
big thoughts he viii do great deeds
1t is a great thing to get IN touch
with people. And it is easy to get
touched in the same manner
Opinions vary as greatly as DO peo-
pie. The man who will agree with
every one on every subject, is either
two faced or fool.
Horticulturists are constantly on the
