some THINGS L
/ and OTHER THINGSh

Ask and it shall be given. you, seek
and We shall find, knock and it shall
oe opened unto you. Matthew TT.
Watch and pray, that We enter not
into temptation. Matthew 26:41.
If you make a move remember you
viii be sure to tramp on some sore
toe. A yell or a protest will follow,
out your move may be right. Keep
On moving.
When you are sure you are doing
your best, no one will be able to beat
you. The ground is always harder
where a crook lights when he falls
because he is so crooked. And the
crook will always whine more when
ne falls than any other person.
Invest your hours, invest your pow
ers while you have a chance. Make
speed, the clock Of the universe is
licking, make speed or you will be
too late to make a reasonable showing
out of life.
You are conscious or uncOnsciously
providing for futurity. Remember su-
2erior intellects will always rule, and
hyperion intellects will always be be-
cause superior progenitOrs sired them.

It VIII come to you some day that
vOu must rise above the dead level.
The first great rule of advance is to
earn to disregard non essentials: you
must cease to fretter your energy
worrying about the opinions of peO-
Dle who do not count
You can usually tell those who do
not count-they, are always giving
heir advise away. 1t is so cheap you
Know that they are unable to find
market for it. Cheap people giving
cheap advice are about the cheapest
Kings in the world.
We appreciate this paragraph from
The pen of Judge Rupenthal, in the
Oorarnce Star:
where are giving the lie, to that
cheap, SNUG, soft phrase of common
life, GA man must live" That IN
principled excuse is the cause of
many a wrong and even direct crime.
These are times when a man prefers
to die rather than live under some
conditions"
America must win this war. 1t is
up to America to give the world
peace, to give liberty to the race, to
see to it that all mankind has
chance TO think, and that no race
shall be known as the dominant race.
This war means. a world cleaning, and
it, seems that Germany needs the real
washing worse than any other nation.
It will take a number of years to
wash, dry and iron-out the bad think
ing of this nation, but it will be done
to turn by the Y: S. A
l saw a young man-no not quite
a young man, only a boy of thirteen,
finish job at twelve o'clock but be-
fore the clock struck one he had
found another. Yet l find lot of
loafers on the street saying mo work
for u.s." A man in Kansas, this time
Of the year can have a job if he wants
t. And if such a man comes to your
house asking for a ''hand-me-out"
simply reply nothing doing old man.
Cutters, quailers and insists are
found all the way from the stone
heap to the throne.
Dare more, speed more, keep up, or
get out-sterile-brains are always
ebusing men of initiation or creative
force.
It is a common thing to find men
trying to lead, insist on leading. that
do not have sense. enough to follow a
well defined line. Such men get into
political leadership and act like Stone
md Reed of Missouri. About the
weakest leading or supposed leader of
men is the one who stands in days of
crisis and shout, 81 object" and never
offers a remedy. Only one other put
~ headed statesman that is worse
and that is the one who is always
saying, What is in it for me or any
Of my friends if the change is nader"
He says so much cash or preferment
for US, or he will not act.
When you read the late announce
nent of Luther Burbank about wheat
culture, you feel he is doing more for
humanity than all the combined eff
forts of the German nation. While
hey have become noted as destroyers
ne has the honor of making this a bet
Ter world in which to live by produc-
'ng wheat that will yield four times
IS many bushels per acre as the pres
ent wheat now does. In other words
Kansas wheat yields about fiji
teen bushels and per acre on
the average, the same ground
5own to this new Burbank wheat will
produce sixty bushels per acre.
The wheat crop last year for
the .. S. was 6OO,OO0,0OO bushels

wheat the yield would have been 2, 400
300, 900 bushels If this wheat pro
