BRIEF NEWS NOTES

The women at their meetings now rITdays are presenting reports of the ggast amount of war work done. The linen can't equal it, but they feel they have given lots of advice.
 Alter rejoicing because a lot of workers have gotten adyG uces in wages most people become very in- dignaz,t when prices go up to pay for the advance.
 Some of the folks who rush to sell their Liberty bonds at a discount, wiN be buying them back some day for more than par.
 Another sign of influenza will be pthe noise when the Germans begin ,soughtng up that indemnity.
 HOme people can't give dollar to ssfiere t3s terrible famine conditions En Europe, as they are suffering so lbahly for +tfle lack of a new automo- bile.
 Ii is untrue that the American peo- fple do not favor the use of arms, as bhey pay S10000 to baseball pitchers.

A very admirable person often leaves
you completely cold and uninterested.
1t may be because he has no original
ity or ingenuity OF expression. or be-
cause he is never human enough to
permit you a glimpse of his tempta-
tions. Such person may compel your
respect, but never win your regard.
The most persuasive thing about any
one is his personality. 1t is some
times magnetic enough to make you
like him no matter what he thinks, or
feels, or does. The latter type is not
healthful influence. On the other hand,
a truly interesting personality con-
tinues to display charm that is an
attractive expression of that persons

A hobby is the business mans saw
ior from rustication, vegetation and
starvation. 1t fills his mind when he
is away from the office with some
thing besides work; it turns his brain
power into different channels and gives
the poor brain cells he has used all day
a much needed rest. II increases his
interest in life; it broadens his out
look; it sharpens his wits Therefore,
we say, a hobby is a good thing and
not foolish thing as some people have
been wont to call it. It will serve you
faithfully and well, Get hobby.
