HARMONY IN NATURE FIRST
Without 1t the World Would Be IN.
inhabtabIe and Happiness an
lmpossibiIity.

Have you ever thought that har-
mOny is the first law of the universe?
That until the music of the spheres
voiced the harmony of the planets,
there was no habitable world? Look
within yourself, and without, and
realize that happiness has never come
to you without harmony. To SOW and
to reap is of no avail without the
harmony of growth. Machines mighty
and machines Observation-Disclosures
and man-made-mustf first have har-
moniOus adjustment before a wheel
will turn, a violet unfold, or a star
shine.
In the scroll of life we find that an
all-wise Providence has planned our
joys and sorrows, our hopes and fears,
in harmony with a destiny that
tranScends human wisdom. 1t was the
herald of harmony that called togeth-
er the Minute Men of '76 and the cav
alters of the South to sacrifice every
thing for the harmony of liberty.
The one thing that creates nations
and has detied harmony in its high
est human purposes is patriotism; the
patriotism that cannot be defined al
together in deed and action, but is felt
in the very depths of the soul-"The
Harmony of Life" the Editor, in Ma
tiOnal Magazine.

Success in the Man Business.

In business it is not the individual
producer who gets the biggest or the
surest rewards; it Is the organization
builder. And any man, no matter how
small his business, ought to recognize
that fact. Unless an employer is In
terested in finding, training, holding
and dividing with good men, his bust
ness can never grow. 1t will remain
the work of one man; and the work of
one man is certain to be limited in
size and profits. You may think that
you are in the shoe business or the
shirt business or the furniture busi-
ness, but you are mistaken. After all
is said and done, we are all in the
same business-the man buslness-no
matter what we make or sell.

Hatchery of Fakes.

New York city, in addition to all it's
other varied activities, good and bad,
is charged with being the greatest
hatchery of fakes. The latest dodge to
separate suckers and their simoleons is
an outcome of the great war abroad.
In one of the downtown streets a sign
in the window reads: "The war killed
this glass MILL" Inside the store are a
number of statesmen who are trying to
palm off a lot of cheap pressed glass
for genuine cut glass. The cut-rate
goods are of the same variety as the
old-time bogus fire" sales; the kind
known in some quarters as ''pawnbrok-
er" goods, because they are intended
for display in pawnbrokcr shops, as
though once upon a time they had been
left as pledges for loans and had never
been redeemed. The fake cut-glass
bowls and other glaring limitations
We're attractively arranged on the ta-
bes along the walls with alluring la
bells reading, "$1-marked down to 45
CENTS" or "75 cents-cut to 80 cents"
Of course, it is merely a new kink to
the old trick of dumping out shoddy
goods under some form of misrepre-
SentatiOn.

On every hand we hear the word
preparedness and it comes to us
at this time as a misnomer. We are
not prepared for the gigantic task
this country has been forced into.
Besides this, the great war now on
does not have the full inspiring love
and loyalty of true Americanism.
1t is foreign to our principles, for
eign to our purpose as a government
to mix in European troubles and
there is no getting around the fact
that this war is not popular with the
American people. There is not a
stronger argument for this country
entering the war today than at the
time the Lucitania went down, and
yet we are drawn into this conflict
and must be from now on it's back
bone. During all these three years
of European conflict not an effort
has been made to prepare this coun-
try for its own defence, say nothing
about equipping an army to go over
seas. But we are Americans, and
no matter how much we may differ
on the questions leading up to pres
ent action we must put our shoulder
to the wheel and see that America
triumphs. No better word has been
given us on this question than Theo.
N. Vail, president of the N. E. Tele-
phone company, said in closing his
address at the agricultural mobiiza-
tion convention held at Washington,
d. c. last April and which follows:
Zone word of our country and
the great cricis through which it is
passing. Do not let US underrate
the possibilities or underrate the
necessity of thorough preparation to
meet it. Let us all, whatever our
sectionalism, whatever our partisan
faith, whatever our original nation
atty, be only Americans and sup
port our president and our Govern
ment in the doing of everything

Just What She Needed.

When women complain of weari-
ness, backache, dull headaches and
similar ailments, they accept those
troubles as their lot because they
are women, when the ailments may
be the results of disordered kidneys.

necessary to establishKand maintain
our national rights and our national
honor. Do not expect too much too
soon; remember that the preparation
not made, because of lack of appre-
citation by the country as a whole of
the necessity, will take time. Be
patient, calm and firm and all will
be we'll. "

Our Plain Duty.

There are few slackers in Yer
mont. The people responded Loyalty
to the call of the the Liberty Loan,
the boys responded promptly at the
registration and the flower OF the
states manhood has come forward
and offend their services to Uncle
Sam, God bless them! Now those
who stay at home have a duty no
less vital to the safety of the repub-
lie, and no less patriotic than has
actuated these young men to volun-
teer in defense ofRthe country, and
this duty is to furnish every neces-
tary help to protect their health and
add those comforts that will encOur-
age and keep them fit to perform
those duties they have volunteered
to do. These necessary helps are
furnished through the Red Cross
and it is our plain duty-our priv
lege to give to this Red Cross organ
ization the financial aid necessary to
carry out this great work. Vermont
will take care of her boys, even
though the Atlantic may separate
them from their homes. But to do
this we must no wait for the other
fellow. Give loyalty, give patriotic
ally, give as though every one of
you had boy in that grand army
we are sending to foreign shores on
lines of action not heretofore held
to be an American duty. Brighton
made a notable record in Red Cross
membership, now let's make better
record in this seven days campaign
for raising the State apportionment
of l$200,000 for Red Cross work.
Let's get the red blood to coursing
through our veins of our own initia-
tive, and not wait for a German AZ
centimeter shell to set our gray mat
ter throbbing. For love of country,
love of home and love of the boys
we are sending forth let's give lib
orally to this Red Cross fund.

Navy Wants Firemen

The Minneapolis Navy Recruiting
Station has been assigned a quota of
25O firemen. These men must be
obtained before December 18th if our
new ships are to be sent to sea with
their full complement.
Experience is not necessary in or
der to enlist as firemen, third class,
ing would make advancement quick
er. Practically all of our late ships
burn oil exclusively, and it can read
lily be seen that firemen aboard
these modern ships do not have to
shovel any coal A man in the En-
gineering Department rarely works
longer than hours out of "a.
Firemen receive from 5000 to
$465O per month besides their eX-
penses and clothing allowance, and
have unlimited opportunities for ad-
vancement to ratings that pay as
high as $145.7O per month. Many
men, however, who began in the En-
gineers Corps as firemen, are now
commissioned officers earning large
salaries.
Fireman must be between the ages
of 21 and 81.
If applicant does not live near one
of our sub-stations, which are To-
Gated at Duluth and St. Paul, Fargo
and Grand Forks, he may apply to
any postmaster for transportation to
Minneapolis at government expense.
