themselves to attend to only as many
things as they can digest at time
They do not care to become mere
sleeves through which everything slips
with equal ease. Instead they build
up back ground which first catches
and then Sits each new thing. AS to
cultivating people, only those are ac-
cepted on intimate terms who are
worth knowing. 1t may be easier fo1
some to know that this practice is
fashionably exclusive also, Suppose
you take stock of these qualities fol
just a minute, no matter where yor

ENJOY AS YOU GO

So many people make the dreadful
mistake of never stopping to enjoy
life until it is too late. A very for
tunate few have acquired the knack
of thoroly enjoying each day as it
comes, of being interested in the peo-
pie they meet and of finding dozens
of amusing incidents every day. These
are the people who never grow old
But most of us lack the ability to feel
interested sufficiently in our fellow
beings to gain this trait. A stranger
is a stranger to US; clerk is a clerk;
school children are school children.
We plod along each day doing the
things we did the day before, seeing
the same people and thinking that
everything is the same. 1t behooves
such people to completely change
their surroundings once in while SO
that they really may seem entirely new
objects and people, and get their
finds out of that deadly groove. Ev-
cry one of us has some trip we have
been planning to take before we amble
off this earthly coil, but how few of
US take it. We wait from year to
year, thinking that perhaps next year
we can better afford it, and we
never get there at all. Take your
time and your money now and go.
When you come back you can make it
all over again twice as fast with
mind and body refreshed and eager,
Do it now.

Dress With Dignity.

Many of US who live III small town
or even a moderate sized city, are

ENJOY YOUR WORK

The first requirement of a good
job is not the salary you get, it's
the joy you get from your work. If
you go to it every morning with
fresh zeal, and you leave it every
night with plans for the morrow,
then you're the man for the job and
nothing will stop you till you reach
the top. Be sure you know what line
of work you want to follow and then
go after it. Don't take up work that
is uninteresting to you merely because
it may offer a little better salary in
the beginning. If you do, you will
do nothing all day but get better ac-
quainted with the clock.

GRASP EVERY OPPORTUNITY

A lot of our young men have re-
signed themselves to a useless life
because they believe opportunity only
knocks once and they were not at
home when she knocked at their door.
That's all foolishness. Opportunity
is in the air, and all we need to do
is to reach out and get it. The next
time some job comes your way don't
think, "Oh, that would hardly pay,
and anyway, next week I had planned
to do something else" Just go ahead
and do it. 1t may develop into some
thing worth while, and even If it
doesn't you've gained a little more will
power for the next attempt.

AND TURKEYS

When the multitude were hungry
they were given loaves and fishes, and
their hunger was appeased.
In this community there may be
some family with but meagre ingre-
dents for the Christmas dinner. A
wave Of the hand today will not con-
vert that meagreness into plenty, nor
will it create turkey from crust of
bread. Those who live in plenty should
see that there are none who are in
want on that day.
If we have family upon whom the
hand Of misfortune has fallen we
should see that their larder is we'll
hlled, and that the Christmas turkey
is not absent on our Day of Days.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF IT
THIS WAY?

One of the arguments which those
who are endeavoring most earnestly
to inculcate thrift might do we'll to
stress at this time, is the likelihood, a.
mounting almost to a certainty, that
the course of the past five years is now
to be reversed, that imitation of cur
rency will be succeeded by gradual de-
f1ation, that money put aside now will
not only accumulate interest, but an
increased purchasing power that will
make it more valuable as time goes
on, and that the reward of savings will
be greater now than they have been
for two generations.-M and

NET u. S. PUBLIC DEBT
NEAR SIXTEEN BILLION
Gross Amount at End of War
Financing Expected to Be
$4,000, 100000.

Public debt of the United States
government was reported today by
the Treasury at $24,s24.345, 900.
Most Of this represents liberty bonds
Of the first. second, third and fourth
issues, but the victory liberty loan is
not included to any great extent. The
addition Of victory loan bonds will be
largely counterbalanced by redemption
Of outstanding certificates Of indebt-
edness. No deduction is made for the
1882. 100000 loaned to foreign gov
ernments. Consequently the net debt
would be approximately $16,000,000,-
900.
The Treasury plans to issue other
bonds later this year and next year
to meet the fag ends of war expenses.
but in the aggregate these are not
IS, 900. 600 900. SO that the gross public
debt Of the United States is expected
by Treasury officials to be in the
neighborhood of $30,O00.000.000 when
the period of war financing ends.
The Treasury now has working
balance Of $1.062.0o0.00o. of which
s657. .546. 600 is on deposit with banks
throughout the country on account of
bills Of certificates of Indebtedness
and victory liberty notes. The Treas
ury holds $2.56S,599.000 in gold. but a
little more than half of this belongs
to the gold settlement fund of the
federal reserve board. Silver dol
lars in the Treasury, which little
more than a year ago amounted to
$3.50. 100000, had been reduced to
1929, I'll, 900 by melting down of ap-
proximately 260, ,o00, 900 Of silver dollars
