The Persistent Griever.
BY RUTH CAMERON

The other afternoon I called up a
friend OF mine whose mother-in-law
has recently come to live with her.
The mother answered the telephone
and such a lugubrious voice L never
heard.
1 felt as if 1 had gone up the steps
to ring a doorbel and found crepe
on the door.

friend about it later.
''Why no." she said, 81 don't think
so. OF course you knew Mrs. M.
had lost her husband"
Recently"
oh, no, four or five years ago.
But she has been like that ever since.
She's what 1 call a persistent griev-
err
That's a good description, isn't it
You remember the old expression,
Thine brings roses
Well, :he persistent griever is the
kind of person who is bound time shall

digs them up and throws them in the

Billy Sunday says that some people
instead of trying to drown their trou-
bles take them out and give them
To honor the dead by your tender
memory of them, by bringing to the
rest of your life sympathies quickened
by your love and loss, and by turning
often for strength to the stars that
shine through the cypress trees, is
beautiful.
To honor the dead by carefully pre-
serving a gloomy face, a lugubrious
manner and a depressing voice, is
wicked.
have since heard that Mrs. NJ
casts a dark shadow on what formerly
was a very happy household. The
baby is afraid of her, the children dc
not like her, the son and daughter-in-
law struggle continually against the
feeling of depression she brings into
the house.
| Every person WHO has suffered de-
serves and usually gets a. reasonable
amount of sympathy. But when any
one keeps on demanding sympathy by

other people instead of trying to get
on his feet he usually turns sympathy
away from him. Those who can shur

THE INNOCENT BYsTANDER.

America is the greatest and prac-
tically the only sufferer from Ger
many's campaign of ruthlessness on
the seas. During the month of Febru-
airy, with all the U-boat power of Tir-
pitt directed to the blookading of
Great Britain, the commerce of that
country actually increased. There was
an increase of imports to the extent
of more than $1S,OOO,0OO, and there
was an increase of exports to the ex-
tent of nearly $5,0OO,000. Such was
the British reply to the German
threat of starvation.
There was, of course, an immense
destruction of British shipping But
that loss was met by increased en-
deavors on the part of the remaining
mercantile fleet. AS a campaign of
starvation, the German frightfulness
was a complete failure.
At the same, time there was a very
large decrease of American commerce.
The department of commerce at Wash
ington reports that as compared with
January our imports in February
showed a decrease of S42,239,6S5, or
more imam Ito per cent; ana our
exports showed a decrease of $147,-
0S2,659, or more than 22.3 per cent
Those were serious losses, and they
are to be charged almost entirely
against the German threats and raw
ages. There was a considerable loss
thru actual destruction of vessels and
cargoes, but the greater part of the
decrease was due to the practical en-
barge, the tying up of vessels for feal
that the U-boats would get them ii
they ventured out.
If concurrently with the severing OF
diplomatic relations with Germany
says the Boston Transcript, the presi-

The following from the editorial col
umns of the Deseret News, would
have been considered rank heresy by
a large majority of the people 20
years ago: Money after all is only
a medium of exchange, more con-
venient perhaps, but not much diff
ferent in its functions. than wampum,
boots. city lots, cedar posts or pine
nuts. People cannot eat it. and it
Is only useful for what it will do. The
more there is of it, and the worse
something else is wanted. the greater
the quantity of it required in effecting
the exchange"

The federal farm loan board has
fixed five per cent as the rate of in
terest the farmers will be expected to
pay. If the design of the farm loan
law was to furnish cheap money to
the agriculturist. rather than to fur
nish a lot of high salaried jobs, the
rate should have been placed at a more
attractive figure. The government
borrows money at two and three per
cent. Cities rarely pay more than
~. Why, then should the farmer
with the best security in the world,
pay five? He asked for bread and
they have given him stone.

Imagination is often useful as at
times when you must give your wife
an account of how you spent last ev-
ening. If you have imagination you
will Immediately think of some clever
and original reply, such as, Il was
sitting up will. sick friend" Some
people have no imagination at all and
get into a way of telling the truth
about everything, which of course
makes them very disagreeable COM
paRiors. There have been people with
much imagination, but few with
enough to see any charm in other
peoples children. OF course, if you
have too much imagin2t icn YOU may
be given free board and room by the
state-a pleasant life, free from care
but rather confirming.

Plantations now supply about three
fourths of the worlds rubber output
and are rapidly increasing their share
of the worlds rubber supply. The
plantations are, stated in order of the
share which they supply of the worlds
output, the Malayan Peninsula. the
Dutch East Indies, Borneo, Ceylon,
Burma and India. The forest supplies
of rubber are chiefly from Brazil, but
smaller quantities come from other
South American countries and from
the Congo valley in Africa. About
81 per cent of the worlds rubber
output is at present consumed in the
United States, 10 per cent in Great
Britain, and per cent in France.

ON SPUR OF
THE MOMENT
By ROY x. MOULTON.

1t Can't Be Done.
How. when all about is clatter,
When there's argument and chatter
Over every bootless matter,
Putting thought upon the blink,
When instead of peace and quiet
There is roistering and riot,
And when quite surrounded by it
How can anybody think?
When the noises agitate us.
Din and uproar suffOcate us,
Can we WOO the shy afflatus
Mid the racket and the rant?
Here amid the dong and dinging
Can we now be sweetly singing,
Prettily the rebec stringing,
Can we do it? No, we can't!

Thus, there is little to fear in the

However, in the carbon monoxide
gas. which results from incomplete
burning of the charge of gasoline va
por, there is a real and insidious
danger. This gas is composed of one
atom OF oxygen only, combined with
one atom of carbon and obviously
tends to replace the other whenever
the available oxygen supply is a little
low.
In the case OF a gasoline engine this
condition might obtain as the result
Of poor carburetor adjustment. weak

other words, exactly those conditions
which are very likely to be found in
