The Superstition of Descent.


The Manchester Guardian regards Winston Churchill
solution 1t is the remark editorial writer that not
for nothing is Mr. Churchill descended from the first
Duke Of Marlborough which draws attention.
Mr. Churchill is much nearly descended from the
late Mr. Jerome of New York who famous his
causc wit for the fechngness of his pretty daughters
We surmise that Winston is considerably Jerome
that he is Churchill il his mental makeup If
he SEXES the military situation better than English
rivals it is due trow, the American drectness

II is said that fool can do no harm
dnless he has a gun or an automobile
and then he is hell broke loose! At
least from the number of complaints
and reports Of accidents made recent
ly the indications are that certain
drivers are either mentally weak or
have a total disregard for other pe0-
pies rights. Several cases haze oc-
CURED where drivers go too rapidly.
and in some instances drive at night
without lights. In one case a Ian
caster woman was knocked down and
nearly killed by car without lights,
the driver vanishing into the dark
ness without as much as saying How
do YOU DO, go to H., or anything
else In another instance a rig was
grazed by car driver who knocked
woman and her son from the We
hicle and might have killed them. III
this case the injured parties state pos
ltively that the driver was on the
wrong side OF the road and made no
attempt to stop after the mishap. Still
another case occurred on Pigeon Hall
recently, where a three-horse team
was nearly run down by an automo-
bile. A serious accident was narrow
ly averted. The driver had no lights,
although it was o'clock in the even
ing. In this case also, the car went
on rapidly. The point is that unless
halt is called, someone is going 20
be killed!

there will be no quorum Ten per
cent looks small, but there has been
no meeting for two years
One thing that Lancaster and viciu-
ity patrons want is a 24-hour SER
vice. At present the subscribers here
pay Is cents extra for each night call.
This seems to be a ridiculous and I'M
fair charge.
Another necessity is an all-day Sun
day service. At present the exchange
closes at II o'clock and remains closed
until l o'clock. Should fire break
out during that time no alarm could
be given. The same thing applies
when a physician is needed.
1t is estimated that the costs of these
two improvements would amount to
a gross Of $240 per year This divid-
ed among 600 subscribers on the Ian
caster board would amount to 40c
apiece per annum!
By all means then let the Farmers
Company charge us whatever real
service is worth and then give it to
us!
But these points and any others
can be threshed out at the meeting
If you believe in them-attend!

has there been the opportunity for live
wire merchants like there is today. If
you love mechanics consider that this
is an age of machines and that men
who really know mechanics are in de-
mand everywhere.
Ii you feel you can write, recollect
that the public reads more now than
it ever did. That it is much more dis
eliminating and that your ability will
surely be sooner or later recognized.
II you want to be a lawyer or a doc
tor, remember that the woods are full
OF wOOdchuck lawyers and doctors
and that good ones are in demand now
more than ever
Have an ambition, but couple that
ambition with hard labor and stern
resolve. Don't feel satisfied to be just
as good, but determine to be quite a
little better
Ambition is a hard taskmaster and
a jealous one. Ambition will allow
you no time for dalliance, and trifing
must be thing of the past. A wor-
thy ambition will consume your DAYS
upon earth and leave time for little
else--but in the end Ambition will
lead you into the high places among
the men who do things.
Ambition will whisper in your ear
while you live the sweet dreams of
achievement and in the end will show
you the fulfillment Of your determina-
ton.
There is no greater thing than this
you will find. All things may pail
upon you but this will not pail upon
you.
All things may change, but this will
not change.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1917-01-03
HAVING AN AMBITION.

Have an ambition young man; want
to be something in the world. Aim
high; make your mark upon the struc-
ture Of human endeavor." So runs
the copybooks and so has said the in
structors of youth since Solomon and
Socrates
Yet somehow or other with all the
eXhOrtatiOn and example the admoni-
tiOns usually fall unheeded on the ears
Of the average youth who goes his
merry way Youth is proverbial in not
minding its instructors, and youth, as
a rule, pays the penalty by drifting
past the time when aims are establish
ed and the ground work Of success is
laid
But how many men have succeeded
who did not have an ambition Of some
sort or other? How many men have
idled away the precious years of
character forming in things that per
haps are not vicious but to say the
least are distinctly trifling? Learning
to smoke and drink; learning to be
an expert at cigar at cigar store small
talk and a shark at cards and pool do
not go very far toward making you
amount to anything. Of course, if one
has an ambition to be a billiard expert
or a Judge of good tobacco there is
something definite about the procedure,
and something worth while. But just
idling and frittering away precious
years to be killing time when every
moment slips by and leaves you that
much older-well, it is worth doing?
The world is full of opportunities
for men with ambition. Don't make
the mistake of assuming that your am
bition must be a so-called lofty one.
If your prediction is toward farming
remember that the calling of husban-
dry is one of the most remunerative,
independent and dignified in the world.
If you want to be merchant, feel sure
that at no time in the worlds history

A MODERN SAYING VS.. THRIFT.

1t is very common habit for folks who have
never saved dollar to say "well, we only live
once" and then go on and elbow in their savings
for various things they could get along very well
without. Unthrifty people revel in luxuries that
the people who could really afford them would
never dream Of having "Only live once'-don't
you ever believe it. Most of US live again in the
days when our energy, keenness of mind, person
atty and the things that bring money to us are
at lull, if not dead. Most of us will live again
in the days when we are old and it's up to the
young man and his wife to say whether or not
those days are to be days of ease and comfort
or days of deprivation and pinching poverty ever
haunted by the wolf and driven with labor when
the day for labor should be thing of the past.
Don't believe this foolish philosophy young
man and woman. Don't be stingy or mean and
don't deprive yourself and your family of the
things you should have. But remember that the
best things God gives you are things that cost
nothing
The things that will give you joy and satisfac-
ton and make your mature years pleasant and
easy lie in the development you give your soul
and mind. Prepare for your old age while you
are young and strong, and remember, the vital
truth that no matter how bright and smart you
are if you cannot save you will never, never be
a success. Money is the lever for you to pry sue
cess from the world with. No one is going to
give it to you, SO save it! Don't worship it, bit

Herman Schuettler now becomes the
head of the Chicago police department
A good many people will regret this,
as the history of that department in
dicates that it's heads are short-livad
and usually retire into obscurity in
short order Herman has always
borne fine reputation for efficiency
and honesty Heretofore he has re-
fused the position being content to
remain assistant chief through many
administrations.

An interesting light is thrown up
on the Chinese character by writer
III the GAINESVILLE Gazette This man
tells of writing life insurance in the
Celestial empire John" saws the
life insurance man, cannot be appeal
ed to from the same standpoint as the
American citizen. Here the willy agent
has but to draw a picture of the woe
and want Of the widow and the child
rem to have the American shed tears
and sign up for big policy" On the
contrary the Chinaman is interested
i'll himself and not his family. He IS
interested in what he is going to get
