SQUARE PEGS

In the morning when the heartily
hated alarm clock emts is disagree
able dingle, just when the bed feels so
good and just when you feel the need
of another half hours sleep, do you
think of your job favorably or other
wise? Do you think of the other fel.
low who seems to have such nice Job
at better payY 20 you make up your
mind to look for another, more con
genial job?
Listen, young fellow, if you do feel
that way, If your work is irksome 10
you, If your eyes seek the clock all day
long, and minutes drag by like hours
and hours like days, there is just one
got the wrong job.
You're doing some other fellows work
and he's doing yours. AS the old say
ing goes, you are a square peg in a
round hole. You don fit. So it's up
to you to either hunt new hole or be
a lifelong misft.
Your work--the work for which you
are litted-should be and will be, not
work but play. Twelve o'clock ard
five O'Clock will creep upon you un
awares and you will scratch your head
and wonder where in the dickens the
day has gone. And next morning you
will go to WORK with a light heart,
more of how much you are
going to accomplish than of how many
more days until pay day,
Your boss will appear as friend not
as u driver. OF course he wants real
days work from you and if you have
the right job he's going to get it and
that without a great deal of effort on
your part. And before you know it
your boss will find you almost indis-
pensab!e and-you know.
Remember-the right work is a
pastime, and it's up to you IN take
stock OF yourself and see where you
belong.

GUM TAKES PLACE OF WATER
Assuages Thirst of Soldiers Fighting
in Country Where Liquid Was

OF all the varied means of masti-
catory stimulation which have been
resorted to by man in all climes and
ages the great American gum seems
least harmful and most helpful That
there Is a physiological demand for
some masticatory stimulant, says the
New York Medical Journal, is shown
by the universally Of the practice Of
chewing. Whether 1t be the tobacco of
the American Indian, the betel nut Of
the East, the slippery elm bark, the
tamarack and the spruce gum of the
down-east Yankee, the sweet gum Of
the Gulf states, the chicle of the Mexi-
cans, which, in its American adapta-
ton, becomes the great American
chewing gum, man has always felt the
necessity of chewing something more
than his meals. That there is a prac-
tically useful side for this habit Is
evidenced by the orders placed by the
quartermaster of the United States
army for 100000 packages of this
standard American dainty. We learn
from the war department that the
commanding officer of a field artillery
regiment, about TO embark, stated that
250 pounds of chewing gum would
take the place of hundreds of gallons
of drinking water when water was
most needed and least readily obtain

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
AGOOD PAL

Do you ever stop to consider the
manner in which your boy employs his
spare time? Do you sit and read or
smoke or both and pay little attention
or no attention to him until he does
something of which you diSapprove,
then scold him? Or is he out OF sight
and out of mind, following his own in
clination in the quest of amusement?
Perhaps he is in the company of boys
whose conduct is open to question; boys
who swear and smoke and tell filthy
stories. IL should not and need not be
so.
Girls are naturally more inclined to
play the domestic games and to be in
the company OF the mother. But boys
are boys.
1t is characteristic of the boy TO look
up to his daddy; to admire him; to fol-
low his example and to initiate him,
And nothing will please hin more than
for you, his father, to converse with
him, not as with little boy but as
with little man.
Consider this plan for some Saturday
or Sunday afternoon. Invite him to
join you In walk 1t matters little
where you walk, that boy will find
boobies of questions ID ask and more
than once you will find Yourself stump.
ed and unable to answer And if you
are unable to tell him the deepest
depth of the ocean, or "why the sky is
blue" or "when and where the tele-
phone was invented and by whom"
don t evade the issue. Just confess TO
him you do not know, and make it your
business TO find out about it when you
get home. Then do it. You will find
yourself benefited as much as is the
boy. You will gain wider and
deeper knowledge on more than one
subject.
Talk with him. He thinks his daddy
is IT. So it's up TO you to be IT. as
far as lies in your power Use the best
English possible in your conversation
and correct his faulty diction. Play
with him. Throw stones at poles, and
run-even though Monday finds your
unused muscles stiff and sore. It's
worth the trial, end every time you
move and groan with pain, you will
have a corresponding thrill-a thrill
for every twinge--in the realization
that you have done something worth
while.
The boy is one of the best educators
in the land, and he as we'll as yourself
will profit.
There are dozens of fathers a1d sons
in Manitowoc who are hardly acquaint-
ed. What looks better than to see a
father and son who are chums in the
true sense?
Cultivate him. You'll find him the
best pal yet.
