Rule for Sincerity,

The best way to be sincere is never
70 think anything about it. Be your
self, and let the rest take care of it
self. No one ever yet heard of an
lnsincere tree or mountain or sunset.
Perhaps one reason is that they never
analyze themselves or stop to consider

GERMAN REVOLT IN BRAZIL

The reported revolt OF the German

IS significant rather ttaa threatening
OF any success. The German popu:a-

The disappointment add rage OF the

of the German citizens OF the United
