ENDURE HARDSHIP.

The Indians had to secure the hard
est flint from which to strike spark
to ignite the shavings for their camp
fires.
So, only as the fire of mans inner
soul is aroused by hardship, does he
become fit for those things which make
him a-great man.
The Bible writer put 1t this way:
Endure hardship. as a good soldier"
Soldiers become great soldiers only
thru hardship. 1t is one of the first
requisites of a soldiers life. For hard
ship steadies and tempers and refines
every big quality in a man. and
teaches him how TO handle himself
Hardship strips a mans character and
makes II fit for service and usefulness.
Hardship shows one how to find him
self.
Endure hardship

SANDRA THE JEALOUS

The holidays had been hard for me.

and gayety at home. A tree for the
boys, ard all sorts of simple games.

tertainment for which we boys and
girls worked days before to trim the
big tree for the little children, maxi
ing cornucopias and stringing corn,
and incidentally having the time OF our
lives while doing it. All these simple
honey pleasures had taken on a value
they never before possessed as the
holidays passed in a formal way that
first year of my marriage.
Everett had been very kind. Ny
own gift from him had been a lovely
diamond wrist watch of exquisite
workmanship. He had also given me
a large check to buy gifts for he
homo folks. But we dincd alone both
Christmas and New Years day, and
a lonely dinner on those days seemed
dreadful TO me.
Everett had taken me to a play in
the evening. but In spite of my de-
termination not to, / cried myself TO
sleep both nights / couldn't tell
Everett 1 was crying because we had
spent the holidays alone together.
But / so longed for father. mother.

came real cross with me and said
! some cruel things about crybabies and
women who never were satisfied. At
least 1 thought them cruel.
Mrs. Garry's dinner was to be the
second week in January. My dress
was lovely, but / looked awfully girl
ish in II. The modiste had followed
Everett's directions very carefully.
Hetty and Mrs. Gray admired II i'm
mensely when 1 tried it on for their
benefit. And 1 hoped Hetty was right
when sne said:
/ There won't be none there lcok

no matter what they wear; they're too
old"
Again Everett took in that hand.
some Mrs. Barton. Again he laughed
and chatted in so intimate a manner
that l commenced to feel jealous of
this lovely woman with whom he
seemed on such friendly terms. She
must have been 3S or 40 years old,
but next to me was, as she had been
at that other dinner, the youngest
looking woman at the table--and the
loveliest. / would ask Everett to tell
me all about her as we drove home.

Followers. Endure hardship-as
good soldier
The soft" men of the world are
swept away at the very first on
slaughts Of fate. Whereas those who
have learned to endure hardship are
only spurred on TO greater effort and
keener fighting by the obstacles that
seek to unnerve and undo them at the
start.
Endure hardship!

BUYING RIG.

A bulletin on business conditions In
the Tenth federal reserve district for
the current month. issued by the Fed
eral Reserve bank OF Kansas City.
says:
With the prosperity that has come
to the farmer from good crops and
high prices for everything he has to
sell. and to the wage-earner with full
employment at the highest wages he
has ever received, there has come a
business prosperity in proportion, with
a plenitude of money. A habit of
buying and buying big has found lodg-
ment in the minds OF the people. who
are becoming accustomed to commod-
tiles which formerly appealed to them
as luxuries only. And along with this
buying and buying big have come in
creases upon increases of prices until
levels already reached are higher than
the maximum imposed upon the peo-
pie by wartime necessities. Seeming
ly. the gap between the producer and
the consumer has become too wide.
according to the popular view. and
while labor is insufficient and wages
high, and money is plentiful and easy
to earn and to spend, the general pub
lie apparently is taking the position
that II is time to call a halt on exorbi-
tant prices, at least on commodities.
Harvesting activities and vacation
periods, usually deterrent factors in
trade at this season. says the bulletin,
have not this year caused the slowing
up of business to such an extent as has
been prevalent in summer seasons
past. Replying to a query as to con-
ditions at the beginning of August, "a
per cent OF the houses reporting to

ing. IS per cent reported business

cent quiet. Supplemental reports COW

month disclosed no material change

Inconvenience here and there by
transportation difficulties during the
strike OF the railroad shopmen.
Merchants sales generally are re-
ported ahead Of last year. The sales
for July ranged from 20 per cent in
crease to so per cent increase over the
sales of July. 1918, according to the
statements of about one-half of the
houses reporting.
The difficulty of obtaining supplies
OF merchandise with which to fill or
ders, 1t is declared, is becoming more
and more a perplexing problem. 1t is
frequently asserted in the reports from
wholesale houses that they have more
orders than they can get merchandise
to fill. Some houses report that ar
rivals of stocks are so slow they are
able to unload from cars and distrib-
ute without the merchandise ever
reaching their warehouses. Improve
ment of supply in a few lines is ex-
pected to come soon, but a majority OF
manufacturers are so far behind that
it is admitted months will be required
to produce a supply which will be
equal TO the demands upon their fac
tories.
In the face OF all these facts there
are those so unreasonable as to expect
and even demand that prices be re-
duced.

Hearken, / pray, to my plea,
Grant but one favor to me.
Teach me to live to this rule:
Keen me from ridicule free.
Spare me from playing the fool

Madness demands as her fee;
Spare me the censure and blame
Ordered by Folly's decree;
Grant me the wisdom to see
Clearly thru life's murky pool:
Let my good sense never flee,
Spare me fsom playing the fool!
Cast me for roles thai are tame,
Ship me. IL need be, to sea;
Keep me from glory and fame
But leave me no sad memory.
