Your Ideal.

You will realize the vision (not
the idle wish) of your heart, be it
base or beautiful or mixture OF
both, for. you will always gravitate
toward that which you secretly must
love. Into your hands will be plac-
ed the exact results of your own
thoughts. You will. receive that
which you earn--no more, no less.
Whatever your present environment
may be, you will fall, remain or rise
with your thoughts, your vision,
your ideal. You will become as
small as your controlling desire, as
great as your dominant aspiration.

American Aid For Russia

That the nited States is planning asSiStanrc for
Russia on great scale and over wide scope * the
hint coming from several sources. though NJ official
announcement Of the details has been made
\ good deal of fear has been expressed by Amer
leans that Russia wOUdf mot welcome assistance
which meant sending engineers and mechanics TO
the republic and that under present chaotic condi
tons. such men might even I've met with anagonisnl
amounting to hostility. But if n Russian paper is
to be believed, the opposite is true.
The Commercial and Industrial Gazette of Petro-
grad published statement the other day which
comes with peculiar significance. This Russian
paper said
Russia in the near future will play the part of
buyer rather than of seller and therefore, it is
sary that American commercial men should be we'll
acquainted with the demands of the Russian market
and with the conditions of buying and selling in
Russia. In order to obtain this. the Americans
should organize an experienced staff of travelling
agents with good knowledge of Russian. The
agents by coming into contact with Russians, would
soon get to know the needs of the Russian market,
and would be able to suit American produce to
Russian needs, that they would be above all COM
petition.
The same method of carrying goods by means of
agents should also be applied to products which
Russia is in a condition to export to America wool,
beet seeds clover seeds. etc.
parallel with this, it would be desirable to form
in Russia staff of trained mechanics and engineers,
who should undertake the management and develop
ment Of railways in Russia.
