do you know | wouldn't mind hv-

often do We hear those very words
spoken by the inhabitants Of or
little city. And they usually ad-
vance any number of reasons for
wanting the change. Now in case
you are feeling that way suppose
you go to some citizen Of the town
where you are coveting the opportun-
ity of taking up your residence-some
citizen who is kind of a crouch and
not inclined to boost his community
and ask him if his town has all the
PROJECTIONS you imagine it has. He'll
probably tell you that your town can
'run circles around his town" We've
got about the best little town on the
map so stop wishing yourself some
where else. If some other town has
some Improvement we haven't got,
then set about doing your best to get
/ it for US. You'll find it lot cheaper
to bring the Improvement to you by
little boosting, than to move your
self to the town which has the i'm

Think Well of All.

We have been willing to sacrifice
life and wealth to overcome the foe
which so recently threatened US. But
the greatest foe of all, the foe which
attacks US all and must eventually be
overcome, is in our midst, and that
foe is sin. Ought we not to be willing
to sacrifice everything in order to
overcome this greatest enemy to man
kind? Yet many of us are negligent
IN this regard. Perhaps we are not
committing any of the crimes vigor-
ously denounced by mankind. We
do not kill or steal, we do not, per-
haps, even swear Or smoke. And vet
we let evil thoughts dwell in our
minds. We criticize our neighbors
and think evil concerning them. We
consider their faults instead of their
virtues, and fasten upon them evil
beliefs which have no foundation in
fact. We cannot hope to overcome
the serpent of evil until we pains
takingly cast it out from all our
thoughts.

A mother performs her highest
duty when she instills into the hearts
of her boys and girls the courage of
honorable living, the desire to follow
the principles of truth, nobility, and
purity, so that they may go out into
the world free from the narrow self
interest, dishonesty, and petty schem-
ing which ever threaten to under
mine our country's life and the liber-
ty dear to every true American heart.
If a mother has taught her children
to be good, worthwhile citizens, she
has done her duty, for good citizens
are also good men and women.

the Jeffersonians. He has lately sue
ceeded in subduing a bucking broncho,
and society editors have chronicled the
fact. So that the Jeffersonians consid-
er that we are being altogether too
polite to royalty in paying attention to
the circumstance.
The matter is really worth little at
tention. There are plenty Of men on
the western ranges who break bron-
chos every day, and whose names new
er get into the society columns. Why
put the Prince of Wales there?
There is, of course, certain languid
interest in the fact that breaking bron-
chos is difficult and hazardous; it is,
perhaps, gratifying surprise to find
that the Prince of Wales can do it. The
idea that people of royal blood hardly
know how to shave themselves, re-
selves slight setback here. But the
Importance of the matter is trif1ing.
At Avalon, Catalina, Cal, the wife
of one of the twenty-richest people in
the United States caught fish lately
weighing 225 pounds, and the repor-
ters bleated the fact all over the pa
pers. In one metropolitan daily the
item covered a third of column end
ing: "Tired ?" said she. "No; Pm not
bit tired"
This episode is about as interesting
as the adventures of the Prince of
Wales and the broncho. And as long
as we, as a people, consider it worth
while to devote newspaper space to the
recreations of the wives of the very
rich, we can harly call other nations
snobs for making a fuss over the pas
times of princes. But we are getting
wiser all the time; we are less vulner-
able to the disease than formerly
and other nations appear to be attain
ing the same stage of convalescence.

PLEASANT GOOD
MORNING PAYS

''This is the best town | ever was
in, and [ certainly am coming here
to live just as soon as possibly can"
emphatically stated a prosperous look
ing man as he stood not long ago on
the platform of the local depot wait
ing for the train.
The reporter edged toward him anX-
ious to know what it was that had
especially impressed the visitor
prosperous business conditions, the
school system, or the good appearance
of the streets and lawns in reply to
the reporters question he replied,
II came into Grand Rapids. 1t was
night. The next morning, which hap
pened to be Sunday, l got up early and
started down the street. There weren't
many people around; it was damp and
cold and rainy, and | confess l was
feeling rather blue.
"The first person | saw coming
toward me didn't look very interest
ing, anu pdlu IlILlo dIleuIlOu 10 HIN
until he almost reached me. Then he
glanced up with a cherry smile and
called out, Good morning, sir, you're
out pretty early for Sunday morning,
aren't your"
Immediately things began to look
brighter. AS l walked on down the
street | met several people, and all
of them spoke to me. And in the few
days I have been here that friendly
spirit has met me everywhere. It's
worth whole lot to live in friendly
community, and here is where | am
going to bring my family and make
my home"
Then the train came in and the
pleased visitor left our little city,
which, by it's open-heartedness, had
attracted another worthwhile citizen.

Down to Zero.

In December, 1918, there were 140,-
900 more employees on the railroads
than in December 1917. Yet the a
mount of freight handled in Deem
Der, 1918, was considerably less than
in the corresponding month of 1917.
We are doing less in a day now,
and manufacturing less, so there is
not as much wealth as formerly. We
are all gradually getting poorer.
In Kansas City there is concern
whose lumber mill turned out 10000
feet a day five years ago. Now it
turns out $4,000 feet, although it has
the same number of employees as be-
fore.
A factory which employed 700 people
and did a large business in manufac-
| turing overalls, has found that con-
tracts made on the basis of previous
output are now incapable Of fulfill
ment. Working hours in this factory
| have been so much reduced that, fgur-
| ing the per capita loss of time, there
are 4,8O0 fewer working hours each
week than a short time ago.
A cement concern has reported that
large increase in the number of its
employees shows only serious de-
crease in production as the outcome.
There is also trouble in the garment
trade. Suits have become hard to get,
because suits have not been made.
This is what has happened already.
But cheer up; the worst is yet to come,
There will soon be falling off in the
production of coal. The program now
includes six hour working day (more
wages, of course), and soon coal will
be considerably scarcer than it is now.
And the general movement to limit
output continues in all lines of activ-
| ity, with the result that the working
man, like every one else, pays twice as
much as he did for everything.
We may consent or refuse to face
facts. We are carefully, systematic
ally, and calculatedly preventing the
production of the necessities Of life.
Dollar bills are, we know, plentiful.
More so than ever. Nearly everybody
has them in abundance ION pay day),
and it feels fine to drag them out of
our pockets-to unroll the fat wad,
and gloat over it. The only drawback
is that we can never eat it, or wear
it, and it isn't of much use in buying
things. We can, of course, burn it;
and at the rate we are going it may
soon be cheeper to do that than to burn
coal; but it takes lot of them to make
fire that will last. We can stick a
bunch of bills together into a patch
work quilt, and sleep under them; it
may soon be cheaper than buying blan-
kets, but not quite so warm
But we will all have one consoling
chance of reprisal. The coal miner
can have the fun of compelling the
tailor's cutter to freeze; and the cut
ter can get even by keeping the coal
miner in state Of perpetual naked
ness.
Yes, little sarcastic, perhaps; but
we are hitting the nail so squarely on
the head there is no room for doubt
as to what is in store for this country,
unless we return to sanity.

Your Neighbours Yard-And Yours.

iodr Neighbours Yard-And Yours.
We all take look at our neighbours
yard as we pass by. If it is attractive
ana appeals to the eye, We have some
thing nice to say of it, or we think it
without saying.
II 1t IS rusty, and weather beaten,
and neglected, we wonder what ails
our good friend across the way. We
may even pity him in his apparent
inability to keep up to date.
In time we may even begin to look
upon that yard as a sort Of eye sore,
and become just alittle peeved at his
carelessness.
Because, you know, we do not think
much OF careless people, anyway.
But what Of OUR OWN YARD?
Do we give it that care and atten-
ton that insures it from just such
thoughts and remarks by our neigh
Dor?
Do we look it over carefully each
week, with view to eliminating the
undesirable, and enhancing that which
beauties the community?
Are we a BEAUTIFIER, or just a
CRITIC?
If every man in this town will take
this little lesson home, and give it
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION, it will
be but ashort time when we will not
criticize our neighbours yard, and OUR
NEIGHBOR WILL NOT CRITICIZE
OUR'S-because there will be MOTH,
ING TO CRITICIZE.

If you want to be loved, be kind
to those about you. Hide your sor-
row in your own heart and put a
CHEEKY smile upon your lips and
laughter in your eyes. Listen to the
sorrowful tales of others and be
quick in offering sympathy yet do
not allow such recitals to affect your
own good spirits. Be considerable,
kind, and lovable, and you will never
lack friends.

Before the water in river can be

to make him sicker before he makes

be applied with profit to our little

Do right and do it right, and don't
care a snap what others will say or
do. OF course, the man who honestly
seeks to do right will displease and
even offend some, but who are they?
A good man, an honest man and a
man who has common sense will not
be offended at right; or if he is, will
soon apologize for his hasty temper,
Fraud and hypocricy may gain a point,
but can never hope to enjoy lasting
success. What the world needs is men
who do right for the sake of right.

Instead of demanding that your

day they will have to decide for them
selves between the right and the
wrong, and it is never too early to

course is right. He should be shown
why it is right and led to see that

The dreaded disease, tuberculosis, is
more frequently found in the crowded
parts of cities, where homes are built
closely together in which pure air
cannot circulate freely, and where
sunlight cannot enter. Over-crowded,
poorly ventilated homes and work
shops tend to spread the disease. We
may we'll be thankful for the abund-
ance of pure air in our country home.
