Rudd Block was fast going to decay
and its owner deplOred the fact, but he
was engaged in costly litigation and
had decided to let repair and general
renovation of the old downtown build
Ing wait until he was in less Straitened
circumstances
BARLEY Duane was wanderer. al
most a tramp. Drink had been his fail
ing and he had got so far down life's
ladder that If he had not taken n new
grip on its worn rungs he would have
fallen off entirely. He had decided he
would try to reform. He was given
position in the core making department
of Burge s. Co. He was to 20 to work
the following Monday, and the firm. in
accordance with its regular custom
with all employees, had insured life and
limb under the employers liability act,
as also rs to sick benefits.
BARLEY was putting in Saturday
strolling about. when he halted In front
Of the Rudd building to glance into a
window.
Eli, there; look out!" suddenly
startled him.
The man at the curb who uttered the
warning was pointing upwards. Bart
ley glanced In that direction to dis
Germ dark object hurting downwards.
1t was the letter "R" of the building
name, loosened by time. It was
formed of metal; the screws that held
it in place had rusted away, and as it
weighed nearly four pounds it drove
BARLEY senseless to the pavement as 1T
struck his head. rebounded to his arm,
shattered the wrist, and an ambulance
was summoned and the victim of the
accident was rushed away.
For full month BARLEY lay on q
hospital cot. When he was discharged
the ward surgeon Informed him that
his head wound would heal in time, hut
that he would never have the full use
Of his injured forearm as formerly.
The rest, care and attention had done
much to reinvigorate the former inebri-
ate. BARLEY went ut once to Burge &
Go. They could not employ q crippled
man, but under the terms of his acct
dent policy Bartley was given four
hundred dollars and hint that the
owner OF Rudd Block might indemnify
HIN handsomely for his permanent in
Jury. The latter could not afford an
other suit. He gave BARLEY one thou
sand dollars for a final settlement of
all claims.
BARLEY bought new suit and was a

Hard surfaced state and national

value of the real estate along the way.
If the roads are built according to the
federal plans, laid out by federal engi-

state engineers to serve state pur-
poses, they still will add greatly to the
value of the property they reach.
There is one pleasant thought about

who have crossed to the other side.
In Sank county, too, it would be a
beautiful thing to associate together
those who have gold stars in their
windows. Sank county was more for
tunate than some of the counties in
the state, yet there are many homes

SEEK FOR A PUSSY WILLOW

When trees are yet bare, when rain
and cloud and snow prevail, how Gag
erly we watch for the first green bud,
the first wild flower Whose heart has
not bounded with JOY to gather the
first pussy willow? Can you not re-
member, in your childhood, gatherin 6
the branches, delighting in the little
worm-like growth which told you
spring was coming? You admired and
treasured it and Rugged to your heart
the promise of what was sure to fol-
low.
The world is full of mystery, yet we
know that spring follows winter. There
are little joys, "pussys," as it were,
that appear even when the hours of
life are darkest If we seek them out,
they are promises of good yet in store.
There is a true philosophy in Polly
Annals creed. There is nothing bad,
no misfortune, that might not have
been worse. Let us be glad we are
spared that worse.
However dark life looks sometime
it need not be always dark. There
are compensations, there are comfort
ing features to help us endure the
sorrow, or the burden of anxiety. Re-
grets must not be allowed to deprive
one of hope. Good will yet come in
our lives. 1t may not be what we
had set our hearts upon. 1t may be
something we have not expected But
there is something to comfort, to help
as long as there is life.
Seek the pussy, that gives prom
tse for the future. 1t is often found
in the endeavor to ease our own bur-
den by helping others, by Tightening
loads and frightening the pathway of
those WHO need comforting. Seek for
pussys of promise and treasure them
and share them. Dwell on the beauty.
of the little thing that carries so great
a promise Milwaukee Journal.

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

Otto. H. Kahn's latest statement on
the railroad problem, read before the
Brooklyn chamber of commerce, is
carefully and shrewdly prepared, and
doubtless represents the predominant
opinion in financial quarters. The
suggested governmental guarantee of
dividends-a feature pleasing to many
stockholders, is repudiated by Mr..
Kahn ON the ground that it would sin'
volve measure at least of permanent
government control. Government op-
Grafton is censured chiefly in regard
to the increased labor cost, but Mr..
Kahn also charges deterioration in
service and lessened eagerness to
please the shipper. The eminent
banker is evidently speaking to the
nation, for he twice mentions the
farmer, asserting that higher railroad
wages are bound to affect wages in
other industries and particularly the
wages the farmer has to pay" Cap
ital receives 5000, 900, goo a year from
the railroads in the shape Of rental,
1S1 &11n hi
last year may be as high as $780,
100000 Mr.. Kahn is wholly opposed
to the timid opportunism which
would barter away the reality OF
private initiative and enterprise for
q permanent governmental guarantee
of dividends" The constructive part
of Mr.. Kahn's paper is his suggestion
regarding rates. He asks that the
present capitalization of railroads be
regarded as representing fair val
uation until an authoritative ap
praisal Of values is completed, and
that in the meantime the rate-making
body be instructed to adjust rates to
expenses so as to produce an income
at least equal to the governmental
rental, plus fair return on such new
money as might be put into the prop

NEED NOT SEND
DISCHARGE PAPERS
TO WASHINGTON

The Red Cross Office in Milwaukee
which was informed by Washington
that discharged service men were re
CURED to send their original discharge
papers to receive the $50 bonus, has
been advised that men who do not
wish to part with these documents
may write the adjutant general, Wash
ington, D. Co. for certificate of serv-
ice, giving him the name, organization
and date of discharge. When this
certificate is received, it may be sent
to the zone finance officer, Lemon
building, Washington, D. c., and the
money will be paid, providing it is
accompanied by true copy of the orig
inal discharge paper.
