nature of German reprisals for the

What do you think about it, reader

Personally. I can scarcely ina CINE
a more worthy one.
A logical mind is one of the most
precious possessions one can have.
A good memory is a blessing but a
logical mind is ten times more val
liable.
Memory deals only with the past,
a logical mind deals also with the
present and the future in their rela-
ton to the past.
A memory deals with fact, but a
logical mind deals with big truths
behind these facts.
The logical mind is never the
narrow mind. Prejudices have no
place in it. 1t is the open mind.
Since the thing it continually seeks
after is the truth. it cannot afford
to shut itself up and keep truth out.
Again, a logical mind and a sense
of humor usually seem to go hand in
hand.
Nor is a logical mind only valuable
in a mental way.
It also influences the character of
him who possesses it.
For one thing, passionate sens.
of Justice is the sure cOrO1lary of q
truly logical mind.
Again, the logical mind is the for
bearing mind. because it is clear
sighted enough to know its own
weaknesses, and logical enough to
draw the conclusion that other peo-
pie must have their weaknesses.
If there be any power of will
joined to it. the logical mind will
steadily mould its owners character
toward the best because it will see
so clearly what is good and what is

OF course. the logical mind has its
faults. The habit of pushing things

in others are some of these.
But TIE very trend of mind that

BY ROY K. MoULToN.

An Unusual Chap.
He doesn't care how prices soar,
The cost of living is joke.
He ne'er lets out a frenzied roar
The same as other common folk.
He let's things happen as they will
And takes the good right with the bad.
No hobby can give him a thrill,
He's not a crank ON any fad.. sss-
He never speaks an unkind word
About a single living soul,
For gossip to him is absurd.
His tongue is under strict control.
Remarkable of course you say.
But this man you will never know;
Because. you see. it is this way:
They buried him ten years ago.
