Be Honest With Yourself-2.

Most of our failures in life are en-
tirely due to our inability to be hon
est with ourselves. We would like to
succeed, but we're not willing to buy
success at the price of giving our abili-
ties cold, calm appraisal.
We never say to ourselves, I'm a
person of very mediocre ability. 1
have no especial talent. 1 lack origi-
nality and initiative, and executive
faculty. The best, I can say for my
self is that Lam not lazy, SO I'll get

Oh, no. We all do the Ananias
stunt to ourselves. and tell ourselves
that we are wonderful ALL brilliant
and destined to set the world on fire,
and SO we go into occupations and
professions for which we have no
ability or qualification, and starve and
fail when We might have been pros
porous and successful if only we had
been honest with ourselves.
And when we fail, we lie to our
selves about why we failed, and that
puts up one bar more between us and
success. When do not get on in
business we do not say that it is be-
cause we have been shiftless. because
we have been neglectful of details and
stupid and short sighted.
On the contrary, we invariably at

tons, or the jealousy those above

merit or to favoritism. And for the
sake of salving our hurt vanity we
lose the chance of correcting our
faults and winning OUT

United States Short
Four Million LabOrers

We are awakening from the
mists of sentimentalism and pol
itical demagogy to realize that we
face a great national labor short
age. The U. S. Training Service
of the Department of Labor, says
we are four million laborers
short. 1t says if every soldier
were back on the job our country
would still be 100000 short of a
normal supply of laborers as we
had them before the war.
For 20 years before 1915 we got
in round numbers a million work
ers year by immigration and for
four years that has been cut off.
The Department of Labor dare
not say what common sense would
dictate-give us back cur normal
supply. We absorbed the million
a year to good advantage. What
the west needs is plenty of un-
skilled labor. The little fact is
dropped that we are 100000
houses shy in the nation and the
only remedy is more carpenters.
Housing is only one item we are
short on, and in the meantime the
laborers of our country will pay
millions in shape of higher rents.
The cards are stacked to eX-
clude all immigration and until
the country can again turn to
Europe for it's supply of common
laborers, the shortage will con-
tinue. and the seriousness of the
labor situation will increase.

Make the Mine Timbers Last

Mine owners find that it is alb
solutely necessary to keep all
timbers used in the interior of
the mines in the best of condi-
tion as in years past many cave
ins and accidents have resulted
from the deterioration of the tim
bers. These timbers, used as sup
ports and struts across the top of
the passageways in the mines,
are subject to the action of gases
and fumes which occurs in the
mines and also to insect attack.
These different destructive agen-
rcies cause the decaysof the wood
and as & result, the timber lasts
only about six or seven years on
the average. OF course, they may
not actually fail at the end of that
period but beyond that time their
condition is such that they are
considered unsafe.
1t has been found that the life
of the timbers can be doubled
and even trebled by coating them
with creosote compound which
will fill up all the pores on the
exterior of the timber and pre-
vent gases, fumes, ETC., from act
ing on the wood. The coating of
these timbers is a very simple
process and is quite economical.
When it is considered that the
life of the timbers will be great
ly heightened and constant re-
pairs along the shafts and pas
sageways in the mines eliminat-
ed, as was the case when uncoat-
ed timbers were used, it is readily
seen that this creosote covering
will be very profitable invest
ment for mine owners.-Salt Lake

FRONTIER CELEBRATION

Mountain Town Makes Cheyenne

Not to be outdone by Cheyenne
in frontier celebrations, Central
City staged racing turnament,
broncho busting contest and
other sporting events Tuesday ev-

of similar character held in the
western country in years. Main
street was selected for a racing
course and the list of riders in
cluded the very top-notchers in
Gilpin county-with or without
saddle. The riders were Joe and
Grover Thomas, Jack Stull,
George Parsons, Denny O'Toole,
Charlie Thomas and Ellis Will
Jams. All the events were. thrill
ing and furnished no end of ex-
citement to the multitudes that
lined each side of the street. Cash
prizes were given the winners
and to prevent argument, the los
ers as we'll.

of daredevil riding was given by
young Cody, who initiated Tom
Mix in subduing an old outlaw
Steamboat. The bucking, lunging
and rearing of the wild animal
caused the spectators to hold
their breath, the ladies covering
their faces, so wreckless and
death-defying were the stunts of
the fearless young rider.
A. H. Petherbride, tenderfoot
from the east, for whose enter
tainment the exhibition of from
tier stunts was given, got an eye
full-and likewise his moneys
worth.
The frontier celebration was
such a signal success it will be

RED CROSS NOTES

The Mountain Division of the
Red Cross has sent abroad twen-
ty-two carloads of relief supplies
within four months. In one week
recently two carloads left the
warehouse in Denver, the goods
having come from all parts of
the division, which comprises
Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico.
Men who got government insur-
ance while in the military or nav
al services are reminded that on
July l the premium rates on these
policies were automatically rails
ed to the rate for the next higher
year of age. Thus, a man who has
been paying the premiums for the
age of 25 years must now pay for
the age of 26.

Couldn't Be Done
