It is easier to slide down hill than to climb sup-easier to get into the slough of despond than to get out cf it. There is no achievement without energy. Man must work for all he gets; and he must know what he wants to do and believe that he oan do it. Nothing generates energy like belief. To have prayer answered you must pray believing: and to have tasks accomplished you must work believ- ing. No engine will work that isn't fired up. No man will succeed who lets the fires of resolution shoulder. We must be first conscious that we are a force to do things; and then we must learn to concentrate mental and physical power in order to accomplish them. There is nothing haphazard in life except that which ends in failure. There is too much mOping, too much aimiessness. too much confusion among men. Ease accomplishes nothing in life; action is the basis of all progress. Those who dare and do are the wonder workers among men.

Mrs. Reuben Reeves, an English woman, says: No woman with six children is able to look after them properly" when thousands of women have in the past and will in the fu- ture. We have all known or heard of mothers of ten children who looked after them properly and started them well in life. I recall one mother Of ten who got cn in the world with a blind husband and ten children swim mingly. Starting with ten children and no home. she found poverty and babies her portion in life at the start She ended the owner of a ranch, four of her children have been graduated by the state school of mechanical arts and agriculture, and three more are booked for the same educa ton. Today she writes: T am proud of my ten splendid boys and girls, all of whom are growing into the better life" These English women should see America first before they come to such hard and fast opinions.

Norwich bulletin., 1917-08-25

What do you think of the man they say means well although he rarely does well? He is the debtor who is never disturbed by his obligations, the slob who can never turn out first class work. He doesn't care to think, for that may cause him to worry. He doesn't see why merchants kick about such a little thing as a debt, or wives fuss because of the uncertainty of household expenses. He seems to lack all thoughts of opulence and all power to bring the good things his way the mental scientists say he has a right to claim, and by the might of mind might make his own. He works like one asleep; and just drifts. through life like a Kadaver. They say what he cannot do for himself hypnotists can make him do. What a large class need be hypnOtized to promote justice New England merchants have become aware through painful experience. If telepathy will induce them to wake up and pay up it ought to become popu- lar with our business men.

The percentage of loafers is too great in every community, and it is on the increase rather than decrease. There are men who cannot be hired to work for love or money, and the amount of wages offered proves to be no induce ment to them. It doubtless is true tha1 many people are unhappy because they do not have enough to do and many more are unhappy because they have too much to do; but there is class whose happiness seems to de- pend chiefly upon making others un- happy. Tell them they should work as if they were to live forever and live a if they wera going to die to- day" and they will laugh at you. They have no conception of their own worthlessness. They do not look as in idleness there is perpetlal despair, although their possessions are chiefly dirt and whiskers. Their. use1essness makes them no better than enemies of the race to which they belong.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Many persons pray give us this day our daily bread, who never think what a rational. prayer give us this day our daily work is. Bread represents sus tenance and work exercise, and they were never meant to be separated one from the other. Exercise promotes the development which makes bread as a sustenance effective. When heaven ;y mama was given the Jsra elites the work of gathering it in baskets was required of them. I am not sure work is not as holy as prayer: but l am confident they both work together for good. There is TO calling at Nature $ back door and asking for cold victuals. Nature has no handouts to encourage e idieness. There is no getting some thing for nothing in Natures domain. Man has to work for knowledge and for nutriment. Everything we know anything about has it's price.
 Do not get discouraged Do not lose your ambitionl If you do you cannot find it for you, he can only help. Do not become too conscious of the trials of life. for everyone has them; but make the most of your blessings, and keep them shining in your heart. Lots of people have laughed over trials that have fretted other people to death. Laughter is always safe medicine. A burden never gets lighter by carrying tt-learn to throw your burdens down. It is a bad habit to magnify little troubles in life, and worse one to so live that you create them; and are so ignorant of cause and effect that you do not know it. The greatest study on earth is man-and you are the aani Know that the mind which crowds you down will just as readily build you up. Mind responds to it's master! You should be its maSteri

MT. BaIfour speaks of This great unsurpassed moment in the history of the world" The present moment is always large with opportunity if man has the ability to meet it: and the present moment seems to be world wide, a providentia1 moment, which holds for all races of men more of knowledge and fellowship and free dom if they have the wisdom to recog- nize and claim that which belongs to them than was ever presented b4fore. The enemies Of manhood and humani- ty precipitated the present world strife to crush manhood in their am- bition to gain power.

President Ford has pressed the ne

of the Ottumwa promoters, but is re-
ceiving little encouragement. and the
Ottumwans have been given until
Tuesday March 20, to reach a final de-
cision, or show an indication of active
interest. President Ford has asked
that ten or twelve Of the more enthusi-
astic baseball men of Ottumwa meet
him in that city on that date for final
hearing.

Lacrosse, Wis, on the other hand, is
prepared to take over the Ot;umwa

imposed by the admittance of La
