START NOW.

There is always a temptation to be
lazy in the summer, to wait until
cooler weather to make the new
start. But the man who waits this
summer is likely to lose out.
The resumption of business has be-
gun in this country. It's far-off roar
is like the roar of the on-coming
storm, and the wise man will build
his shelter while there is time.
The makers of wood and metal pat
terms are so busy they do not know
what to do Orders have been placed
with American firms for the recon-
struction of entire French villages
and towns Great Britain wants steel
rails enough to pay double what they
are worth. ;. The tide is not on the
ebb. 1t has turned and is on the flow.
Better swim than be swept away.

prevented the messenger birds from
doing their work. Airmen have been
rescued through the pigeons. The
birds were even carried behind the
enemy's lines and from there carried
important information back to the al
lied armies.
There are three branches of pigeon
war service, the naval, the military
and the air. Pigeons did necessary
work in home defense, too, but it was
at sea and on the battle fronts where
the work seemed most marvellous.
About 10000 of these carriers were
added to the service every year. In a
war in which so much highly develop
ed machinery was employed, it is
more remarkable to read Of the work
of these feathered members Of the
armies. The carrier pigeons have
won deserved honor and respect in the
past four years.

ply because they doubt, and so dry up
their own power of vision and con-
structive effort, and help themselves,
to defeat the thing aimed at.
'.As a man thinketh in his heart, so
is he" said one who was wise. This
is more than gospel truth. It is po-
litical truth In politics, national or
international, it is pre-ernlnently
thought that rules. Any government
has power only so long as the peo-
pie governed think it has power. The
Russians and Germans have shown
that. Any system will work as lons
as the people agree on it.
In no other sphere of life and ac-
ton can thought more clearly and
demonstra create what it seeks.
Let the big majority of mankind be
lieve that a strong, just League O:
Nations is possible and practicable.
and at once it becomes possible and
practicable.
Faith is the highest wisdom. Doubt
ers are enemies of mankind.
