WILL WOULD STUDY THE ART OF
PLEASING


Much of the content from life is due to
having pleasant people around you. Hence
would form habits and cultivate man
ners that would please them.
For instance, | would make my personal
appearance as attractive as possible.
would look clean, we'll dressed and alto
gether as engaging as the material l had
to work with would allow
| would be punctual TO keep people
waiting is simply insolent egotism.
/ would, if my voice were unpleasant,
have it cultivated until it became agree
able in tone | would speak low. ] would
not humble, but learn the art of clear,
distinct speech. It is very trying to as
sociate with persons who talk so that it is
a constant effort TO understand their
words
l would learn the art of conversation,
OF small talk. l would equip myself to
be able to entertain the grouchiest most
blase people. For there is hardly bust
ness in the world in which it is not a
great advantage to be able to converse
entertaininly
The secret of being good converse
tionalist is probably a genuine unselhsh
interest in others. That and practice. It
consists more in making the other person
talk than in talking yourself.
[ would learn how to write so that it
would not burden people to read it. In
this matter, one hint: The English Ian
guage is composed of separate letters
hence, when you have written one letter
II you VIII move your pen along before
you write the next we shall be able
PROBABLY, TO discover what you intend, no
matter how imperfectly you compose
your separate letters.
/ would not argue. / never knew one
person@in my life that was convinced by
argument. Discuss, yes but not argue
The difference is this: in discussion you
are searching for the truth, and in argu-
ment you want to prove that you are
right In discussion therefore, you are
anxious to know your neighbours views
and you listen to him. In argument, you
don't care anything about his opinions
you want him to hear yours; hence, while
he's talking you are simply thinking over
what you are going to say as soon as you
get a chance.
Altogether, I would try to make my
personality pleasing. SO that people would

such spiritual heroism must in deed be the revelation of the Divine Plan of the Ages and that to give his all for it would be a privilege sweeter than ever tasted by mortal.
 Such a service would convince Autocracy that Democracy was more potent than any other earthly force. It would convince all mankind that Democracy was a living, vital thing that could be comprehended, practiced and sustained. It would teach man. kind that we StrOve for the race and not for ourselves alone. It's psychological effect would be more powerful than all the ar mics Autocracy could muster.
 The blood of our soldier boys calls for nothing short of this, our conscious mission before God and man demands nothing less. We know what justice is. In this supreme test, if we do not do our utmost, we shall prove unworthy of justice and the debasement and butchery of the Hun may be our just reward.

MAKE A GREAT DAY
OF SATURDAY, APR. 6
Governor CornweII Issues Ap-
peal to People of His State.

The following letter has been is
sued by Governor John j. Cornwen
to the County Councils of Defense
and through them to the people of
West Virginia;
April 6, 1913, is the first anniver.
sary Of Americas entry into the war.
1t has also been designated as the
date Of the inauguration of the Third
Liberty Loan campaign, the terms
and conditions of which will later
be announced by Hon. VIM, G. Nc
Adoo, Secretary OF the Treasury.
1t is both fitting and desirable
that we should observe this date as
q day when West Virginians, always
freemen, can reconecrate themselves
to the task Of winning the war and
renew their resolve to make what
ever voluntary sacrifice is necessary
to support those who are in the bat,
tie line. 1t Is appropriate that this
date should be fixed for the begin
ming of a campaign in which the
American people will be requested
to invest their material wealth in
the securities of the government. so
that more than two million fighting
men shall be fed and clothed and
armed to meet the aggressions of a
brutified opponent.
In every county, in every city. tow
and hamlet, in every schoolhouse,
let us observe April 9Th 1t is not ad-
visable that the day should be made
e holiday, but there has been a sug-
gestion that in every factory, store
mine, school and on every farm Their
should be brief period when every
enc loyal to the flag should stand up
and be counted.
Unfurl your flags and make 1t a
noisy and patriotic sixth day OF Ap-
ril so that the German sympathizer
may know that West Virginia is an
American State that is solidly array
ed in defense of liberty and against
the Kaiser.
] The County Councils should begin
now to arrange for public meetings
and popular demonstrations in the
communities of each county. Send
your best speakers from the large
cities to the smaller communities
The State Council of Defense will
provide speakers for the larger cit
! les upon request made to the Secre.
tary of the Advisory Council. These
requests must be made, however, be.
fore April LIST.
On Sunday, April 18th, let every
pulpit in West Virginia ring with 4
war message. This is a war to save
the world from scientific savagery
and the ministers can give valuable
service on this Sabbath. Comrnuni-
cate with your ministers without de-
lay.

public meetings to be held on April
9Th and advise the State Council Of

Farmers are Bond Buyers.

Next to the aggregate number of
subscribers, perhaps the most strik
ing feature of the third Liberty loan
was the support given it by the farm
ing and rural populations of the
country. Not only did the farmers
purchase literally of the bonds, but
the rural communities as a rule were
more prompt in completing their
quotas of the loan than the larger
cities. More than 10000 communi-
ties in the United States subscribed
or oVersubscribed their quotas, many
of them on the first day of the cam
paign The majority of these were
not cities, but country districts.
Iowa, typical agricultural stale,
was the first to subscribe its quota,
and was followed by Oregon, Arkan-
sas, Kentucky, and other states in
which agriculture is the leading in
dustry.
