A GOAL

Have an aim in life. Let that aim be
short of high aim than to win with a
low one, Keep in view some worthy
object which you want to accomplish,
and let all that you do further that OBJ
ieet. Do not be content to drift along
in life just where you may happen to
be placed. Choose a work; choose a
character that you may work for: see a
goal ahead of you, something to be
reached, and stretch toward it. "No
wind is good for him who steers for no
port"
If circumstances are against you en-
deavor to rise superior to circumstan-
ces. Do not easily yield to obstacles. If
you cannot reach your desired goal, get
as near to it as you can. Better fall in
a good cause than work fof no purpose.
Do not get in rut and stay there Do
not be without some ambition. The
"bappy-go-lucky" one may think him
self happy, but of what use is he in
the world? Who is better for his be-
ing? Let some useful work keep your
memory green after you are gone. En-
deavor to be of some account in your
community. 1t is not given to every
one to be great, with big G, but to
be something, to be useful, is possible
to all. milwaukee, Journal.

Only Themselves to Blame

President Wilson and members of his
cabinet are reported to be very much
vexed over the delay in passing the
food control bill
If there has been delay, no one is to
blame except those who have been en-
deavorine to secure control over food
production, sale, and stribution.
There has been no opposition any
place to an effective law which would
prevent amt punish the boarding of food
for speculative purposes. All the oppo-
sition that has been aroused to at
tempted legisla ton has been due to
those features which contemplated the
delegation of autocratic power to beau
cratic officials unknown to congress and
unknown to the people of the United
States.
In all it's efforts to get proper legis-
lation the administration has had the
hearty and prompt support of members
of the Republican party. The charge
that the delay is unpatriotic is untrue.
Real patriotism has been manifested
by those members of Congress who
have guarded we'll democratic princi-
plies of government without withhold
ing any necessary power the admins
tration should have

John Mausbaum of North Crandon
has had J. N. Cook of that place arrest

passed counterfeit money onto him
The case was adjourned until next

Masbaum pinched for the same offense.
1t seems to be game of money, mon
ey, who's got the dollar. 1t now lays
safely in the safe of the justice and so
probably will not cause any more dis
turbance.

A NEEDED LESSON

With the clouds of war looming dark
ly over the county; with plots and
counter plots against the peace of our
people; with food disturbances in the
large cities; and with the price boost
ers stalking abroad in the land, truly
it is time when the sober sense of the
American people should be called into
use.
But, we are unlike any other people
on the globe. There seems tool e some
thing in the very air we breath that
makes for different outlook on life
from that of any other country. No
other land can vie with us in the vast
ness of its resources. The increase in
our national wealth during the last two
decades would make Croesus appear a
piker, and beside our own magnifcence
the glories of Solomon are as the
moonlight to the radiant orb of day.
Our strength and our resourceses are
boundless and limitless.
But because of these very facts we
find ourselves standing on the very
brink of national disaster.
We are the most confidently careless
people on earth, hence find ourselves
now engaged in gigantic conflict and
lamentably unprepared for the task be-
fore us. What boots US that our re
sources in men and material are so
vast? Those, resources are as the Ia
tent heat of the coal-undeveloped and
unmobilized. A strenuous campaign
of preparation is on, but the one abso-
lutely essential element-time-is in a
great measure denied us.
Then we are the most magnifcently
wasteful people in the world. Beside
our national extravaganza, the prodig-
atty of kings is as pinching economy.
And this trait, too, is threateng to be
our undoing. Having by our own royal
extravaganza consumed much, and by
shipment from the country consumed
much, we find ourselves facing a de-
mand for unlimited supplies and with
practically empty storehouses. What
matters it that other crops may be
raised? That same element-time-
may be denied us e'er the insistent de-
mand is upon us.
The remedy? Several.
In the first place, export nothing
that is urgently needed in this country
But, perhaps you say, that the Euro
pean nations must be fed Granted
but, are we under obligations to feed
them and let our own people suffer for
food? 1t is we'll to care for our allies
to the limit of our possibilities; but our
own interests must take precedence.
Next, get after the price booster
If there is any particular class of
humans-if such they can be called
to whom prison garb would be actually
becoming, it is these gentry. Without
mercy themselves, they deserve none;
without pity, they can expect none.
Void even of a sense of Justice, they
should have melted out to them the JUS
tice of IAN eye for an eye and tooth
for TOOTH
Then, let America go to work in
earnest-work with the soil Let us
not be satisfied with increased crops
this season, but let us plan for even
greater increases for years to come, in
order that the nations of the earth may
be fed and we still have enough left for
our own consumption.
And, when we produce it, let us con-
serve it and not waste it.
If the experiences through which we
are passing shall have the effect of
teaching us rational economy they
will be we'll worth the price.
