A NEW DISCOVERY:
OUR COUNTRY

Whatever may be said of the hor-
ror and loss of war, yet our country
is scoring at least one great gain.
That is the discovery so many of us
have been making Of the vital salts
factions of public service. Many men
and women are finding that cause
greater than themselves, a cause in
which self can be sunk utterly, af-
fords Joy which life had not SEEM
ed able to yield. Almost for the first
time their days really mean some
thing to them. 1t is getting so now
that lot of people are able to do
something more than just take care
of themselves job which seems
to lack significance at times. The
result is that the United States is
receiving the benefit of much energy
and ambition that formerly had to
content itself with achieving wealth
and then went to seed, in golf, travel
and the silly squirrel-cage round of
performances we call "city life
Many leading business men are now
engaged in constructive work for the
nation, and are having the time of
their lives at it. They are inventing,
organizing, lowering costs and
prices, bringing the whole industrial
and financial strength of the country
to bear on this greatest problem of
applied skill and power, the prob
lem of war. What will follow? Hav-
ing discovered the living interest of
public work, some of these citizens
will want to stay in it. Having
found what results can be had thru
such efforts, it will be up to the
country at large to insist that they
do stay in it. And this should mean
the invigorating of our government
and the oxygenation of our whole
civic scheme.-Collier's Weekly.
