spur him on and help him make the
many little decisions that bring the re-
suit he desires. The bread line is full
of men who could not make decisions
and stick to them; who played with
temptations of various kinds until they
lost out; whose declining years must
be spent in doing the easy things be-
cause in other days they couldn't do
the hard ones.
You never will learn the secret of
how men acquire money until you learn
the fine art of making decisions; and
if you do not learn this lesson for your
self, the world will decide for you, and
the decision will doubtless be that you
have no will power, are not strong in
keeping promises to yourself and there
fore cannot be expected to be strong
in keeping those to others, and relegate
you to the ranks of the "has beens," or
the 'never was" where you will drift
along until the end. The saddest thing
on the ocean is drifting ship, and the
saddest thing in life is the man who is
going nowhere, and cares not how long
it takes him to get there.

URGE JUDGE BAUCHN
FOR SUPREME COURT

FLORENCE, Ariz., July 20.-The
friends and acquaintances of Judge
Otis J.. Baughn at home and elsewhere
over the state are urging him to make
the race for the supreme court on the
republican ticket.
Judge Baughn was elected two years
ago in Pinal county, a strongly demo-
cratic county, over staunch demo-
crat and the then encumbent. He has
made good as judge both in his own
and in other counties where he has
been called to preside at the trials of
some very important cases and has
given general satisfaction. He is
young man with plenty of vigor and
energy and has shown himself to be a

PLENTY OF HORSES

According to a census, as of January
the first, taken. by the Department of
Agriculture for the War Department,
there are q, ,166, 900 horses and 1866 900
mules in the United States. Manifest
ly, the country cannot be said to be
threatened with a shortage Of mounts
and draft animals for any exigency.
Concern has been expressed, in quar-
ters not familiar with the situation,
lest we have been too prodigal of our
resources in supplying Europe with
war horses of the several types re
quifed. But the aggregate expectation
up to this time, large as it $3.50, ,185
horses and 1S5,000 mules looks small
when compared with the visible supply.
The Allies, to be sure, have had the
first pick. And a considerable proper
ton of the immense stock on hand
would probably be unfit for military
service. But, making all allowances,
twenty million horses and between
four and five million msszles certainly
suggests a margin of aburA Aance if there

square and clear-minded jurist. So
far he has discouraged all efforts made
to get him to run, but his friends are
hoping that the call will become so
general and so insstent thatmhe will
become a candidate.
Many have pointed out that Judge
Ross is sure to defeat Frank Duffy
for the democratic nomination and that
the dry vote would be generally cast for
Judge Baughn as against Judge Ross
on account Of the personal use' de-

KINGSLEY A HARD WORKER
Famous Author Often Broke Down

Kingsleys life was a series of ups
and downs. He would work with such
fury, writing letters. preaching, visiting
the sick, teaching. smoking all day, and
at night. after the rest of the house were
all in bed sitting up till the small hours
writing at one of his novels that after
several months of this kind of thing, he
would have breakdown and be ordered
to quit.
At first he thought what he needed was
physical exercise and off he would go on
n long tramp or fishing trip. But soon
he learned that what he must have was
absolute quiet, says Hildegarde Haw
thorne. in St Nicholas. and then he
would sit for hours in the sun, soaking
in some lovely scene before him and
waiting till his energy returned, as peace
fully as he might. Every now and then
he was subject to intense fits of depre-
sion, such as men of his temper are apt
to suffer. but his buoyant spirit soon
came singing home again. and the boy in
him walked with a shout, ready for play
and for work.
Kinsley made a tremendous impression
in his lifetime, not so much from any
thing he actually did, but because of all he
hoped and wanted to do and tried to
make people see was worth doing. His
sermons were listened TO breathlessly,
and though the conventional churchmen
did not approve of him, his congregations
loved him. once he was preaching to a
throng of worltingmen and when he had
finished the incumbent one of the digni-
taries of the church. rose and said that
he did not believe in most of what Mr..
Kingsley had said and had expected a
