The blue jay has poor reputation as a fighting bird and the English sparrows are too much for him. Tn re- gard to non-combatants-the defense
 less and the innocent he is very much a Hun. He recognizes the star ling as an invader and strange to say as well-matehed as they ought to be, a whole flock of stariings will dis perse at the approach of single jay. He seizes 8 large piece of food, but doesn't tarry. After a jay had s,i,,- piled himself from the starlings al lowance one cold day last week, he sat upon the grape arbor and worried, and at last few to a post which the stariings had surrounded and took
 from knothole a hidden portion of
 food and flew to the pear%tree and
 tried to hide in erevice there: but
 failing he flew away with the food in
 l his bill, looking for a rev hiding place. The jay is wise enough to pro
 vide against a day of need.

There was never truer saying than
 this: ''In every rank. both great and
 small, it is industry that supports us
 all.' A. great many people of leisure

 too many idlers in the world. and or
 ganization and civilization has tended
 to increase them. Money is dross when, as in Germany at present, it cannot buy clothes or food. or as in New England it cannot buy fuel or the services of the industrious in sev- eral fields of labor. Plenty of people are so dense they do not know +it is work that keeps the body healthy, the mind clear. the heart whole and the purse full" They turn up their nose to the workers to whom they are in debted for most that they enjoy.

 l Mir. Editor: I saw in one of the New | York papers recently 8 letter headed 1 Intemperance of Prohibition. How any sane man or woman can have i everything to say against it and noth- 1 ing nsffs favor is more than can understand. Like everything that is | for the good of the people, it has its
 enemies. If prohibition is going to be ] on excuse for men breaking laws, es- peciaily the rnoonshiners, then the

 If ever it is justihabIe to assume a virtue. if you have it not" it. is when you may try to be more cheerful than circumstances may warrant Doubtless we all owe as much deception as that to our associates. Let us be unwilling to add anything to the worlds burden of sorrow and care. Let US recruit the helpers rather than the. hinderers. :, A substitution again which there is no law is the scriptural one of beauty for ashes. the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heayiness" We cannot change cir cumstances, but we can often dAange our attitude toward them-whieh may mean scarcely less of gain, How true it is that defeat lies not in what is without us, but in what is within us and how often the worst turns the best for the brave!"

WHY TOWNS GROW NO. u

clown Boosting campaigns are fav-
orite subject, and often the means OF do

when they have had rousing Board OF
Trade meeting, and have appointed

results can be expected at once. Com
monty those committees 60 to sleep, and
the town goes on in the old rut.
To get any results it is necessary to
organize But the appointment of decor
alive committees, that merely meet and
gossip, is useless. Getting new indus
tries is difficult, as most Of the old estab-
ll;issssrd Trims prefer to stay where they
are. But there are always chances to get

ones. 1t takes hustle to make known

FAIR PLAY IN WAR

The old saying states that Anything
Is fair in love and war;" Still for good
many centuries there has been q certain
feeling Of rair play in warfare. Honor.
able men have looked at it as a form of
game, in which you could not 20 beyond
certain rules.
So when it has been reported that the
Germans were rigging up their airplanes
to look just like those of our allies, it is
not strange that the Americans refer to
them as dirty dogs" One can scarcely
think Of an American airrnan resorting
to trick like that. A certain repulsion
for unfair play would make him think he
would rather take his chances in plane
under his own true colors. When the
Germans resort, to stratagems contrary
to all decency, it is an indication that
they are getting toward the end of their
tehter.
Our boys will be quick thinkers on the
battle field, and will be very sharp to size
up the tricks the Germans try to put ov-
err. They will not get fooled very often.
They will laugh at good deal Of the
stuff the Huns will pull on them. Our
boys will place their reliance principally
on manly fighting and heroic deeds Of
valor.
Their training in sport will help them
here. They have been used on the ball
field from early years to meet tricky
players and to size up and block their
game. 1t will be the same in war. The
tricky fighter will stand no better chance
than the tricky ball player.
War is not won by smart little lodges
like initiating our airplanes. That style
OF fighting will only serve to anger the
opposing army, and nerve them on to
stop that style of fighting. There was
never in all history such an unpopular
enemy as the Boche.

WINNING THE WAR SAY
WOUNDED

The care Of the wounded has involved
many new problems. The proportion OF
men restored to health and sent back to
the fighting line Is marvellous.
The use Of high explosive shell creates
wounds that seem hopeless. These are
not the clean cuts of the old fashioned
bullet, but terribly jagged and irregu-
lar breaking down Of tissue. Much OF it
NAV be burned, with likelihood Of putre-
faction. In trench warfare the soldiers
hove to live in such dirty conditions that
there is every chance Of infection.
The surgeons treat these wounds very
much like cancer, in which not merely
all the injured tissue must come out, but
adjoining substance that is under suspi.
cion Of injury. Treated in that radical
way, "a surprising freedom from danger
GUS complications is obtained. s *
The recovery Of the patient depends
largely upon the quickness with which
his wounds are attended to. After treat
ment at the advanced dressing station,
he goes to the casualty clearing station,
where the operation generally takes
place. The tendency is to bring this hos
pital closer and closer to the front lines.
Usually now it is less than ten miles
back. This exposes it to the danger of
bombing by the diabolical Huns. But as
patients are there only short time, the
risk has to be taken, and the chances OF
getting hit are not large.
The great bulk Of the gas cs1es recov-
er. Earlier in the war such injuries as
compound fracture of the thigh proved
very dangerous. Now they put new
tyne Of splints on over the wounded
mans colthes when he is first picked up
and save the bones from Earring. The
cases ,--rally come through. There are
com s.lvely few amputations. It is
great work Of restoration, bringing iov
to the friends Of the soldier, and preserv-
ing the fighting power Of the army.

THE FIRST STEP IN BUSINESS

School and College have just gradual
ed their new army Of recruits to the
world Of work. It is now up to them to
demonstrate that the years spent in
study have been useful. They have ac-
quired certain knowledge Of the worlds
experience, history and wisdom. But to
make that knowledge and effort worth
while, they must show results in greater
deficiency and in good citizenship.
II one were asked to counsel young
person just taking business position,
this might be said: "No matter if YOU
have very humble job, try to think out
how 1t can be done to the very best adj
vantage. If you are merely sweeping up
the floor, try to get that floor cleaner
than any other place in town. Don't
spend time figuring how you can get adj
vancement through pulls or friendship.
The best way is to put your whole mental
power on the Job that you have. Try to
see If there is any better way to do it.
Talk with people who have held the lob
before, or who do similar work else
where, and see if they can give you any
ideas.
The new worker should try to remem-
Der and grasp completely all instructions.
Many novices in business can't ret an
idea merely from being told. Tlfsy have
to do thing over and over again, until
they can do it by habit. 1t is irritating
to employers and superintendent to
have to tell pe3rle the same thing over
and over again. If you have trouble in
remembering instructions, try putting
them down on paper when they are fresh
in your mind. Then reflect on them and
see that you know them completely.
The reason why many people fail, is
that they are unable to concentrate at
tention. Their minds are full of outside
interests. But the person who devotes
his whole attention to his job is pretty
