FRIENDSHIP

FRIENDSHIP. - Nearly everyone
has a circle of friends. Some have
many because of their appealing
qualities; others have few because
they are less attractive. In either
case, a person picks out one or two
of his friends for whom he has a spe-
ciaI liking. These real friends-by
real friends l mean those who know
ones bad points as well as. good
pOints-will stick to a man through
all his straits. Friends are often lost
through a mere remark to which the
speaker did not give proper thought
before uttering.
Often those who think most of us
we treat most harshly. Those who
take most interest in our welfare are
almost forgotten Oftentimes when we
meet friends who merely drop in to
kill time or get a meal At these
times our real friends are made to
feel very small, hurt and uncOmfoTt-
able. Often for these casual friends
we serve the best dishes, dress in our
best clothes, ETC., but we neglect our
true friends.
Why give your casual visitor the
impression that you treat all your
friends like that?. Your friends

THINGS OF WORTH.

- ~ LlilAs
One peasant lad that plOws the field,
Where grows the golden corn,
Is nObleT bred than all the Whelps
That wolves of war have born.
One song sung by some genial soul,
Along a sheltered glade,
Shall hush some day the savage
shock
That madmen's guns have made.
One CLEAN Of love in that sucking
babe,
In mothers eyes beheId,
Shall silence all the threats Of doom
that
Insane priests have yelled.
One word of brotherhood and peace,
One breath from fragrant flowers,
These be the only things Of worth
In this old world of ours.

MILITARY TRAINING AND FREE
DOM.-In the midst Of the oceans of
writing about the war and military
despOtism, and the danger of our
country being ruined by foreign ma
lions making us a dumping ground
for their surplus wealth after the
war and thus starving us to death,
the only refuge from confusion and
insanity is to read Mark Twain or to
drop into poetry like SiIas Wegg.
II we don't read about it, somebody
VIII insist on talking about it, and as
NOBODY knows anything about it ex-
cept Major General Mccormick and
Lieut.. General Roosevelt, who are
beyond our reach, we rush into a
middle course and tell The Day Book
what we don't know, leaving to our
imagination the job of splicing out
our ignorance.
The dumping ground for wealth
looks alarming at a distance. We
asked our 11-year-Old boy about it.
He said folks that had sense enough
to make things good and useful
would have sense enough to keep
them at home unless other folks
wanted them bad enough to ex-
change something of equal value for
them. And he couldn't for the life
Of him see how they would keep
dumping where they got nothing for
it. He said that if they dumped we
would probably dump, too, and when
dumping became improbable we
would throw up the job said that
looked reasonable, but the boy
doesn't know anything about the
tariff yet.
The Chamberlain bill does look
awful We wonder if he did it all
alone? 1t does make the lone and
solitary president a tVr3nt If he

should be the ones to receive your
greatest consideration at all times.
They do not expect you to spend mo-
ney to hold their interest in you.
They want true friendship. To hold
such friends-fOr true friends are
rare-yOu must treat them with
consideration. - Abraham Weiner,
867 N. Mozart.
