Prudent Pessimism.

fru0enC fe9S1mlSm.
Some men are brave
In their disdain
Of perils grave.
They ne'er complain,
But stick it out
All undismayed,
And boldly shout.
"Well, who's afraid?"
But times there be
When candid minds
Cares must foresee
Of various kinds.
Against surprise
He is prepared
Who frankly cries,
"I'm good and scaredw

Assassin Boat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
No euphony can disguise the fact
that the submarine is an assassin. It
steals upon its victim unawares and
discharges its fatal bolt without warn
ing. It operates from concealment and
in comparative immunity from danger.

BIDS ON 10 INCH NAVY SHELLS

No Chance For Profit In Them Under
Present Tests. Grace ssys-PossibIs
Explanation Of the Prices Made by an
English Firm Which Bids Under All
American Manufacturers.
Speaking recently before the Terra
pin Club OF Philadelphia, Eugene O..
Grace, President Of the Bethlehem
Steel Company. said In part:
In a peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel
serves the American people.
For example. though we have been
able to obtain in Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, in our charges
to the United States Government, to
the basis Of prices established before
the war began.
We agreed-if the Government would
abandon It's plans for a Federal plant
to make armOr for our Navy at any
price the Government itself might con-
slider fair.
Our ordnance plants are at the dis
pOsal of the nation at a fair operating
cost. plus a small margin, thus saving
the Government Investment and de
probation.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22

Such was the experience in the light
OF which we were called upon recent
" to bid for Sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mately the same rate per pound as
that Of a fourteen inch shell contract
OF one year ago upon which the Gov
eminent awarded contracts.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22

We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making OF
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
" that il would be possible for us to
deliver a shell TO meet the test.
For officers In the Navy TO assume
that any bid made under such condi-
lions is "exorhitant" Is utterly unfair.

 helping hand to every other man. Need More Men Like Fox. J. c. Bain, member of the direc- torate of the Citizens bank, of which MT. Fox was a member, spoke in the same strong terms. Mr. Bain was overcome with emotion, but con- trolled himself, to say:
 eff Pine Bluff will raise a few more
 men like Fred Fox, there will be
 many more people ready to meet the Savior, when He comes.'
 pr. Lemons pointed to a handsome
