Take Life Like a Man

It is a pitiable thing to see young
man whining over his lot in life, and
excusing Indifference and inaction be-
cause Of hard luck, or some cruel fate
which has put stumbling blocks in
his way.
No matter what your environment,
or what you may be called upon to go
face life like a man, without
whining. Turn your face to the sun,
your back to the shadows, and look
the world In the face without wincing.
Make the most of your situation. See
the beauties in it and not the ugly
features. This is the way to improve
an unfortunate environment.

Many factories, especially in the
western provinces, are rapidly finishing
their crops and will shortly close down.
Although scattered rains are reported
from various points, the drought in the
west still continues.
Such rains as have fallen have not

still progressing fayorably and the cen.
trails in many. instances are rapidly
catching up with their earlier estimates.
