rrs ALL N THE STATE OF MIND

The following verses were given to
the editor of Trench and Camp by
a lieutenant colonel of the British
army, who said he caused a copy to
be placed in the hands of every sol
dier coming under his command.
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think that you dare not, you
don't.
If you think you'd like to win, but
you think you can't
It's almost scinch' you won't.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
Success begins with fellows will,
Ere even step is run
Full many a race is lost
And a man coward falls
Ere even his works begun
Think big, and your deeds will grow
Think small, and you'll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you
are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
You can ever win prize.
Lies battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Our Book of Doom.


A doomSday book of a new sort has
been produced by the alien property
custodian It approxinates 500 pages
and sets out the names of the enemy
concerns that have been found in the
United States The custodian thinks
his efforts have been without real cost
to the country, since he brought to
light for the treasury to collect more
than 100000 in income taxes which
were being evaded- Besides the Gus
todian turned some of the German con-
Germs to war work and had them pro-
duce $3O.OOO,OOO worth of supplies.
The custodian's new book, says Ma
tons Business, contains a deal of
comfort for Americans who have
claims against Germany and who have
beet wondering if they Will have to
wait for payment until Germany makes
up her mind about the variety of gov
ernment she likes best The state de-
partment has limited that American
eli mantS may get Immediate reim-
bursement from the funds the cuSto-
dian has collected.

pianos in Trego county homes are be-

of the thrift plan of the Tenth Federal
Reserve District War Savings divis-
ion, which is awarding these grenades
after they are enptied of deadly ex-

banks for dimes and pennies.
Every pupil in the county under 10
years earning enough money during
vacation to buy one War Savings
Stamp will be entitled to a grenade
bank when he shows the stamps to
his teacher on the opening of school
this fall and gives the teacher let
ter showing how the money was earn
ed. If over 10 years pupils must buy
two War Savings Stamps. He may
buy as many as he pleases.
A sample of the grenade bank will
soon be in the hands of the county
