HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY

The greater the man the stronger
his sympathies for humanity.
No one knows the value Of pretty
face better than they who are de-
formed.
With the rich man politics Is for
croft. with the poor man it Is gen
orally prejudice.
Slowly, slowly the day is dawninc
when men Will break away from Their
mental masters and boldly admit that
to work for humanity is the one thing
ueedful.

JUST AS WELL ABILENE
DIDN'T HAVE A "PRINCESS''

About year ago Abilene was in.
vited to join a "Sunflower Prin-
cess" movie game. The promoters
had the backing of the Topeka pa
Eers and officials and came near
getting a start in Abilene. The To
peka papers gave it columns. Now
Mrs. Kate Clark of Kansas City has
brought suit and says nobody got
in who did not take stock that she
put up the money with the under
standing she was to be paid $50 a
week and her daughter $35 a week
for acting before the camera.
The mother also said she was
given part in one 'picture-at
least was permitted to act before
camera in room at the Hotel
Muehlebach-but that the one scene
was the only one before the two
men left Kansas City. She said they
could be found in New Orleans.

CITY TO BUILD BRIDGE
Commissioners Also Vote TO Lay a
Water Main to Alfalfa Mill

The city will build a bridge and
lay 400 feet of two inch water pipe

TO build a mill here soon. The COM
missioners agreed to the PROPOSE
ton at a special meeting held yes

be a twenty foot structure at the
intersection OF Washington and South
Second streets. The water main will
be laid from First street 400 feet

The company took out a permit
yesterday for q $4,000 building
and expects to start work imme-
diately. Three buildings are to be
built and the total cost Is expected
to be around $4,000. Spurs from

TOSS OF A COIN DECIDES
FATE OF SOLDIER BOYS

! To leave his business here and ~
with the army when the call comes
or to give up what he desires mos
and let his partner go, is the grave
question that is confronting Otto
smith of the firm of Smith & Lucier
Both young men are members of the
National Guard and both are own
ers of the Tip Top Inn. Under a spe-
cial order, news of which reached
them this afternoon, one may be
excused from service to run the
business while the other may 90 with
his company.
Both men want to go but neither
wants to leave the other at home
Finally the matter was left to the
Zip of coin. They were deciding,
by the toss of a coin, which one
would face possible death in the
army or would remain in safety at
home-and neither wanted to re-
main at home.
Both men were white of face as
the coin went into the air for the
third time. Smith won the toss.
But the question is still undecid-
ed. Smith refused to leave his part
ner at home where he knew he did
not want to be. IF someone wants
to do really charitable act they
will buy out this place, said Smith,
md the question is still undecided.

The Valley Of Delay

Many of us are in the Valley OF
of pushability, lack of Suitability,
lack of an ideal, which is the steam
generating the motive power to
climb the steep grades of the noun
tains of opportunities. We have the
best of intentions, we make starts,
but when the grade becomes a lit
tie sleeper, the cold winds from the
mountains chill our good intentions
we take a side track in the Valley
of Delay-awaiting a seemingly
more suspicious time-letting those
who have an ideal, plenty of steam,
get the right-of-way and climb the
mountains of opportunities.
The Valley of Delay has many
side tracks, the longest one is ques-
tionable pleasures, useless extrava-
gance has many sojourners, dissi-
patton and bad management switch
some of the trains, but the main
track is rock ballasted and those
fired with ambition will keep it un-
til they arrive at the destination of
their hopes.
Home building should be the
hope, ambition and ultimate desti-
nation of every man and woman;
but, many are resting on the vari-
GUS sidetracks in the Valley of De-
