The Community Spirit.

Time and again The Bee has endeayored to
lay emphasis on the fact that the upbuiiding Of
city calls not only for intelligentiy directed
effort to secure new industries and commercial
establishments, but also for steadfast support
Tor institutions we already possess, II they are
worth having at all. II goes without saying
that the loss of a factory, or business house, or
school, or hospital, giving employment 10 our
own people and drawing patronage from abroad,
is really more Of a setback for city than failure
to secure some new concern yet TO develop and
70 achieve success.
What We have in mind at this particular
moment Is the appeal OF BrownelI Hall TO its
friends to see to its need for a new and modern
home so that II may continue its good work and
expand its activities as required. As has been
well said, II this academy. with its satisfactory
record, were located elsewhere and open to in
ducement for new location the prospect OF
getting II for Omaha would, without doubt
quickly enlist our people in a movement to
secure II. This is but one instance Of several
that could be cited TO illustrate the point we are
trying 20 make.
Omaha has the community spirit to largo
degree and has manifested II on many occasions,
and II must NOT let THIS community spirit lag
today when there is need for II more than ever.

WHITFIELD TO A POINT

Industry Is the mother OF good luck.

outcome IL bad.
Better make one man laugh than make
hundred weep.
The man who is driven to drink always
has to walk back.
II q mans heart is all right his head
in not far out OF line.
Money furnishes house. but it takes
love to furnish q home.
True fortune teilers. Of course. tell us
only what we want TO hear.
An ounce Of honest criticism is worth
more than pound OF flattery.
The higher a man gets the more he has
to depend ON others to hold him up.
It isn't necessary to make a fool OF
ourselves every time we have the chance.
Nine-tenths OF what the average man
knows Is of no earthly benefit to him.
Let's be kind to the beggers. We may
want 70 borrow money of them some day.
II man does nothing he makes mis-
take. and IL he attempts to do things his
miatakes are many. y.
Forgiving without forgetting is good
deal like giving a receipt for money with
out signing your name to It.
A woman's taste in selecting neckties
for her husband is as good as mans
taste in selecting millinery for his wife.

The claim recently advanced that the
late Editor orlin c. Bates coined the
word blizzard" does not agree with his
tory. The word had It's present distinc-
tive meaning as far back as 1925 and
later was In common use az a hunting
term on the Chesapeake coast. II is
probably true that Editor Bates vitalized
the word az an accurate description Of
the cold. dry. binding snowstorms COM
mon on the Rocky mountain plateau, one
OF which swept over the plains states in
1883 and furnished the inspiration.
