BUSINESS OPTIMISTIC

While everybody almost is discuss
ing the problem Of reconstruction
and wondering when conditions arc
to return to normal, 1t Is very en-
couraging to know that IN reports re-
ceiyed by the National Credit Mems
Association from its various men,
pers in all parts Of the country that
body is advised that the outlook for
the resumption Of the peace time
business is really quite bright. All
business men of all classes concede
that the business situation is Opt
mistic. This optimism 1t would seem
Is based in part-the larger part per-
baps-upon confidence in American
ability to overcome all difficulties. II
is difficult to understand how any
body can be pessimistic concerning
the future business Of this country.
For instance, take the life insurance
business in the United States which
has been very good during the entire
period Of the war. During the last
six months 1t has ben remarkable.
This likely Is due to what is com
monty called war prosperity, but to
the fact that the war and the greatest
epidemic this country has ever seen
has given an unusual emphasis 70 the
need Of life Insurance protection and
the individual has responded accord
ingly. American life insurance com
panies will distribute to the bereaved
families Of the war and the endemic
rearly one hundred millions. This, OF
coarse, naturally stimulates business
and It is the greatest con1agratior
the hazard life insurance has ever
been called upon to meet The business
world is already somewhat advanced
IN the work Of reconstruction of the
disturbed economic and industrial
conditions and the American charac-
teristic Of adaptability to all extra

TO BE HAPPY

You've got to be straight to be happy;
You've got to be square as a die;
Through wrong may come Infinite
pleasures,
But they fade, and they fly.
You've got to take life at its noblcst
II you want to have gladness that
counts
Want the nerve and the zeal Of the
spirit
That lifts you along as It mounts
And, oh, how 1t pays out of good
ness
To draw for each day as we strive
Some measure Of clean, healthy glad
In our work, and for being alive.
You've got to be true to be happy,
Be true to yourself over all,
And be blind to the lure of the evil
And deaf to its powerful call
TO set up high standards and. keep
= them, :,
With the records 80 straight and
t. so true,
- ,.r.. Is. at#
For nothing can ever condemn them;
II that Is your creed, It will do.
You've got to be clean to be happy
You've got to be steadfast and
pure.
II you want what life gives that IL
earnest,
That will help. and will hoIa, and
endure. Baltimore Sun.
