"BUGS" BAER

Telegraphed reports of scuffles
with the tapped knuckles are about
as dependable as a wrist watch. But
even if we dilute the account of the
Leonard-Ritchie riot down to Beevo
strength there is enough kick left
to indicate that Ben was more
thumped against than humping.
The East has created a lot of
rough-eared chinbusters West, who
were champs f. o. b. New York. But
when they park their dogs in Cali
fornia their roughness disappears
like rent going into a landlords
inside vest pocket. Leonard was
supposed to have an epitaph in each
mitt, but Willie acted as if he never
read the newspapers. He hung
shanty on Ben's eyepiece and didn't
charge him for the lumber.
There must be something in the
wonderful California climate that
takes the crease out of an Eastern
guys trousers. Leonard isn't the only
cuckoo who flat-whecied 5000 miles
to the coast and arrived in San Fran
cisco just in time to discover that
he was at the wrong end of the trip.

NOT ALWAYS-BUT GENERALLY

One day in the early part of Sep
TENDER lady went into a store in
middle western town to buy material
for winter coat. The salesman show
her various grades of cloth, and she
picked one which was worth about
$40, but the price at SIS. She return
ed the following day to make the pur-
chase, but learned that the price had
advanced to $3.50 per yard. She re-
minded the salesman of the price
| quoted on the previous day, and was
| told that another store on the same
street was selling similar material at
$3.50. The wholesaler had therefore
served notice that unless the price
was increased to $3.50, the stores
contract for additional cloth would be
cancelled.
This word, "prifteer" is becoming
as monotonous rs the word "camou-
f1age" was until it went out of fash
ion. "Profteer" is now more over
worked than any other word in the
language; and, like most overworked
words, it gradually loses it's meaning
or rather, It tends to mean almost
anything.
A man is not necessarily profteer
if he makes profit-or if he makes
large profit. It is dishonest to make
no profit, because a man who makes
nothing ceases to be self-dependent.
He is obliged to live at the expense
of some one else, which no man should
do while he is able to earn a living.
A man is a prciteer who, without
rendering any service, manipulates
conditions with the sole motive Of
making necessaries expensive. To
sell an article for the highest price
one can get is justifable. The labor
unionists certainly sell their labor at
that price. But man who makes a
systematic business of creating scare
ity to send prices higher is a profit
eer, like the clothing wholesaler men
toned above.
To all articles at a high price is
commit murder 1t depends on the at
tendant conditions and the governing
motive. 1t has been done several
times in France with an excellent mo-
tive.
To ell articles at a high price is
not necessarily profiteering. But it
can be, under certain conditions; and
it is important that diligent investi-
cation should discover what the con-
ditions are.

GETTING CLOSER

There IS district in Cincinnati
"here the inhabitants have developed
a pecuilar ambition. They want to be
like Villagers, and to know each 9TH
er by their first names all over the
neighborhood.
This IS not a brainstorm on THEN
part. 1t is not the doctrine of some
new thought school. They have real.
lied that all members of community
have a material advantage if they
know each others merits, abilities
qualifications, and 80 forth. This con
dition is possible without intrusion in
to the private affairs of individuals.
In each neighborhood there arr
generally a few physicians. Also 6
few people with specialized mechanic
al ability. There are women wht
have developed themselves beyond tn.
average at cookery, and other domes
tic science. And no neighborhood cal
get all there is to be got out of itself
unless it knows what it has for distri
| button.
This Cincinnati neighborhood be
gan it's local inventory by enlistin,
the services of a woman who knew
large number of people in the district
1t was made her business to get then
acquainted-in a tactful way, withou
using bale-hooks. The experiment
succeeded remarkably well, and tn
district has enjoyed community lif
for the last two years. The purpos
of the scheme was not sentimental o
social, but practical and material, an
it has always remained so.
In large cities like Cincinnati
where it is only rarely that any on
knows more than one or two peopl
on the same block, consummatio
like this is a real achievement. Whic
inclines one to ask whether we i
Grand Rapids, who have no excus
for aloofness, are as we'll acquainte

HOPE IN FUTURE

Hope is requisite for life. Each
morning we awake with hope for
what the day may bring forth, and
each night we go to sleep with the
hope that the next day may bring less
of sorrow and more of happiness. If
it were not for hope, our troubles
might often be unbearable. And I'M
happy indeed, is the man who looks
forward to nothing Life to him is
dear and monotonous. But hope in
good to come gives zest and purpose
to life. And this faith in the future
is not an illusory hope which is never
fulfilled, but is a hope capable of be-
ing fulfilled, and, by it's very exist
ence, promises fulfllment.

When a true woman promises to
marry man it is because she loves
him, and it doesn't make fraction Of
difference what he does he will always
live in her thoughts. If he sins, she
is surrounded by other friends,
will forgive him. If he is divorced and
yet will she constantly be reminded
of the tender smile which once he
had for her. And if he is dead, he
will still live in her memory, coming
back to fill her lonely hours with his
dear, loving presence, no less real to
her because unseen.

To most men, the pleasantest part
of the days business is the taking in
of money in payment of work honest
ly performed. But do these same men
stop to consider what happiness they
might also give to their wives by
coming to them at the end of the day,
or the end of the week or month, and
saying, "Here, my dear, is some mon
ey for you in return for all the little
things you've done for me-" Don't
you think our wives deserve little
leash payment" occasionally?

It is now proposed to spend $4,000 of
government money in buying him a
gold sword. The buck privates have

which were more than spent in hust-

do anything more for the soldiers, let

first before blowing in $4,000 or any
other sum on high officers. The buck

Fear is the cause, either directly or
indirectly, of large share of human
distress, worry, and unhappiness. A
fearful disposition invites i'll luck. A
person who constantly expects trouble
has little difficulty in finding it. And
if fear brings about no definite mis-
fortune, at least it always makes the
person who holds the fear unhappy
and a burden on all those who are as
sociated with him.
