Jews as Farmers.

The back-to-the-farm movement
among American Jews is being pushed
with the energy and ability for which
tho race is noted, and the $4,000 Jew
ish farmers now so engaged are doubt
less but the pioneers of an army Of
peace which in few years will num-
Der many hundred thousand. In the
opinion OF a prominent delegate to
the recent conference OF Jewish farm
ers in New York city the Jews en-
gagged in farming in this country are
doing more good by blazing the path
way OF practical agriculture for the
immigrant than the 100000 Jewish
people engaged in business, the arts
and professions. ~rhat is rather over
stating it, no doubt. but 1t is over
stating an important truth" according
to another commentator.

ONLY ONE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Choose Your Work According to Your
Qualifications and Have Conf
dence in Your Ability.

The woman who believes in herself
can accomplish things that to her tim
id-mndCd sister would be impossible.
Perhaps nowhere is confidence so es.
sential as in the business world. and
the girl or woman who aspires to a
business career, yet has no confidence
in her ability to succeed, had better
seek some other means of livelihood.
A seemingly impossible task may
confront one. but should the person
to whom such task falls lose conf.
dence the result nine times out of
ten is failure. Most difficulties are
difficulties on the surface only. Conf.
dence, grit and common sense are
trio that cannot be beaten. Why not
apply a generous application Of all
three to the difficulty which looms up
before you and make you faint hearted
and almost helpless?
The most successful people in all
lines of human endeavor are, as a
rule. people who believe in themselves.
Many of these people have few ad.
vantages, but by sheer will power
confidence in their abilty-they sue.
ceed. Confidence is needed more to.
day than ever before.
It's an old saw. and a true one,
that you cannot fit square peg into
a round hole" Many women are do
ing. or trying to do, work for which
they are not fitted. The girl who has
an aptitude for sewing, can blend col
ors harmoniously and knows what
good lines are. should never be ad-
vised to study stenography. Such a
girl would develop into a first-class
dressmaker, but as a stenographer she
would never reach a very high stand
ard
Such women-the right women in
the wrong work-always lack conf
dence; yet the wise person will study
her qualifications. and If she finds
herself not equal to the work she
has accepted, will try to secure a po-
sition suited to her ability.
Most OF us can do something fair
ly we'll, and il we find the work con-
genial, the only logical course to fol-
low is to bring our very best efforts
into that work. and we must believe
in ourselves IL the work is to be done
| smoothly and well.
Study your ability: improve; believe
in yourself, and you will surely sue
ceed. Women who have confidence
are generally successful and happy
women. We all want to be both. From
past experience you know how doubt
has retarded your ability. Then use
will power-believe in yourself, and
life will be worth while.--Philadelph

It Is the Safest and sanest

If Roosevelt were president this
country would be in a war almost as
terrible as the European conflict.
While some Democrats do not believe
in "watchful waiting" as practiced
by Wilson, still il is the saEest and
best policy after all. The man who is
always looking for a scrap can get it,
but Wilson has been side-stepping all
matters that look like trouble .--Atchi.

So They Can Get a Drink

The liquor business is kicked from
one county to another and from one
state to another. But the funny thing
about it is when one county kicks it
out there are lot of people who hope
it won't go too far away, and rather
hope that the county next to them
will tolerate it SO they can slip across
the line and get a drink occasionally
