WHEN WE ARE GONE
O o q O q o q . o q q q
(Valdosta (Ga.), Times)


One of the weaknesses OF human
nature is the thought which so many
men have that the world will cease
to turn when they get OFF the scene
OF action. We are prone to magnify
our Importance. We get into GER
tain groove and we think that notf-
ing else will fit there. Men who
have done well in life are especially
apt to make the mistake OF thinking
that nobody else can take their
places The merchant often ties
himself to his business and refuses
a little rest because he is afraid that
the business will go to smash while
he Is gone. The banker and manu-
facturer often work and worry
themselves into a state of physical
"unfitness'' because they have a mis-
taken idea that nobody else can do
their work, or that the men who are
helping them are either unfaithful
or unable.
ideas of this sort are common
among business men. They are ideas.
too, that should have no place in
the management of any kind of bust
ness. The head of the house should
have more confidence in the next
l. In 10
study" as 1t were. The time will
come when the change in authority
will have to be made. The guiding
hand will have to release its hold and
new hands will have to take charge.
How many old, established businesses
do you know that have gone to the
bow-wows because the head Of the
firm passed away? How many men
can you recall, who have lived in
other days, whose places have not
been reasonably we'll filed after they
went away on the journey from
whence no traveller returns?
Did the business of j. Pierpont
Morgan, ally Gould, Philip Armour,
George Pullman, P. Lorillard, Mar
shall Field and scores of others go
to ruin when their guiding hands
were removed?
Isn't there always, in established
enterprises, someone to carry on the
work of the "old man when his
days work are over? Can you re-
call any exceptions to the rule? You
often see rich mems sons squander-
ing their substance, throwing away
what the "old man" spent his life
to accumulate, but you never see this
in boys whose fathers took them in
hand, started them off in business
and showed them the way to go.
The squanderers are usually the idle
rich, the boys who were not taught
to stem the currents when they were
young and who were never given the
opportunity to make good. The boys
need the rebuffs and shoals as we'll
as the favorable winds and smooth
waters. These things do not just
happen so-they are governed by
laws as fixed as the law OF gravita-
ton.
The boys who are making good
and adding to the talents" which
the "old man" left them are the boys
who were brought up in the various
lines Of business-especially in the
industries. There is a charm in the
whtrring wheels Of industry that
appeals to the boys Imagination.
There is fascination in creative
enterprises that bring out the best
that is in him. There is romance

When the War Ends

Uses to be a period or readjustment
just as there was at its inception.
Real estate is bound to be secure and
solid. and history will certainly re-
peat itself.
Following the civil war, from q
period between 1868 and 1875, great
fortunes were made in real estate
in almost every city in the lana.
Prices scared and land was sold and
resold at handsome profits. The end
Of the great European conflict is
bound to see a repetition of this con-
dition. Investors. fearful of the fit
full capers of the stock market, are
going to turn to this form of invest
ment and great sums are certain to
exchange hands in real estate deals.
The man who has acquired a good
piece of real estate will be able to
sell at good profit.

THE BLOOMINGTON FAIR
GOOD HORSES RACE AND MOTOR
CYCLES SPEED ON TRACK IN
WEST GRANT VILLAGE.

Hot weather on both days of the
Bloomington fair last week without
doubt reduced the attendance, espec-
tally on Thursday. The exhibits were
not up to their usual standards, but
this was undoubtedly due to the ex-
IRENE dryness of the season. In the
art hall several firms had exhibits
tastefully decorated and worthy of
mention.
The big features of the fair of course
were the ball games and the races.
The games on each day were holly
contested and the Outcomes closely
watched by the fans on both sides.
The trotting and pacing races were
good and the motorcycles, five in num-
Der, speeded around the track with a
very evident desire to win. Blooming
toms fair serves beside. its entertain
ment features, in bringing west Grant
folks together for a visit and this time
was no exception. We always like to
go to Bloomington.

not be done, when too late comes the
thought "Oh, that l had done it when
l could" bitter regret is left that is
not easily put out of mind. Do your
kind deed now, today. If you have a
loving, helpful, comforting word to say,
say it now. Do not let time go by and
your mood change and the occasion
pass, without the word which might
and should be spoken. If you have a
kindly thought, send it on its winged
way now. Even thoughts never die,
but leave their indelible impress on
the soul and the world. Act quickly
on every kindly thought A kindly
word may change the whole life OF the
thOughtleSS one, or more desperate
by the hardness of the world. It may
bring him into paths of peace, bring
a clearer sight sight and an abiding
comfort. A look of sympathy, of I'M
derstanding, a warm clasp OF the
hand, has done incalculable good to
many a one. Do not withhold it. When
the heart prompts, act quickly before
too late. Many a one you have deem
ed cold, or ecclesiastical" may be
hungering for a warm genial word
from you The kindly word, even
though you imagine it unappreciated,
is never lost If it benefits no one else,
it is of good to yourself. No one can
be kind to others, without receiving
good in himself. Do your kind deed,
speak your kind word, think your kind
thoughts now. Let not the opportuni-
ties pass unused.

THE REAL SELF.

How little we know of our real self
and the power that dominates our act
ions and as little as most of us know
of Nature and her fascinating secrets
We see the ground, the grass, the
trees, the automobiles, the houses as
we pass along, but few of us examine
anything beneath our feet or above
our heads.
So it is with ourselves we live on
the outside, and rarely, if ever, get q
glimpse of the wonderful life that lies
back of that which we manifest. We
ask for more light, more knowledge
and appeal to someone or something
outside to furnish it, when it is inside
of us, ready to be drawn upon as soon
as we understand it. Browning, with
his keen insight, said:
Truth is within ourselves;
1t takes no rise
From outward things, whateer you
may believe
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness;
And around, wall upon wall,
The gross flesh hens it in = +" :
And to know, rather consist in open
ing out way,
Whence the imprisoned splendor
may escape
Then in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without"
As the earth is capable of yielding
grain to supply us with food, so man
holds within himself wisdom that will
respond to all demands if he will only
cultivate the soil wherein it lies in or
der that it may be able to come forth.
The great within is richer in treas
ure than India's region Of the choicest
gems Why do we not recognize this?
Because we never look there. We
spend our time and energy with the
of life that teach us so lit
tie. But rich is the man who has
found the world within himself who
enters it and uses it's treasures day by
day, who feeds upon its beauties and
senses its immortality-Carr Haw

New York, Nov. 14.-That rail-
roads hoped for some way out of
making Adamson law effective in
event Of Hughes election is belief
today of high railroad brotherhood
men. Some of them declared secret
ly that yesterdays conference over
operation of law was called solely
because Pres. Wilson was reelected.
On the other hand, they charged that
railroads hoped for change in law
if Hughes was successful.
Conference failed of any agree
ment on operation of law. Uncertain
early today whether session would
be resumed. Brotherhood men, as
well as rail chiefs, confessed they
weren't quite sure of what they have
in the law, but union men appeared
confident the president will meet de-
mands and avoid strike.
Brotherhoods claiming their votes
swung California and Ohio for Viii

for his reelection.
