Our good friend, Joe Earman, OF
the Palm Beach Post. hands out this
nugget Of wisdom: Always ask the
price before you start" That's a
mighty good rule, and if universally
followed would save many dispute
and heartache II we are selling an
article or service to any one we
are very much pleased for him to ask
the price. Lack of interest in this
respect is apt to develop into lack of
interest in the matter Of payment.
Let's of people order recklessly and
when payday comes around they are
overwhelmed. It's mighty good rule
both for buyer and seller to ALWAYS
ssk the price"

THE BETTER WAY

Better think Of the days that will
come
Than weep for the days that are
'S gone;
Better to keep your mind at rest y
Than dreaming Of what can be
done.
Better to walk on the sunny side III
Than stand in the dark and cold;
Better to brighten bitter life 80
And leave your sorrows untold.
Better to hink before you leap
Than to scramble about in dark
ness.
Better to climb the steep hills side
Than stand at the foot in sadness.
Better to work while the bright sun
shines
And sleep while the night lights
glimmer;
Better be active, while you're still
v young,
In old age the hand doth culver.
Better to make the best of things,
Whatever your lot may be;
Better to float in world like. this
Than sink in sorrowful sea.

NAVY AVIATION STATION
!. ON ANACOST|A TO STAY
Planned Abandonment of Boiling
Field Will Not Affect Other,
Says Mr.. Daniels.

Secretary Daniels today said the
projected abandonment of the Army
aviation station at Boiling Field,
near Poplar Point, on the left bank of
the Anacostia river, opposite the
Washington navy yard, will not af~
feet continued operation of the nava.
aviation station which adjoins it on
the water side. The naval station,
he explained. is not a large affair
and is used mainly for experimental
and landing purposes for hydro air
planes. 1t is a highly useful institu-
ton and will be maintained so long
as funds are available and the area
Is not required by the government
for other purposes.
At the War Department it is said
that the great expense involved in
the maintenance and development of
the Army aviation station at Boiling
Field is the only reason for the pro-
posed discontinuance of its use as an
active operating station. The prin-
clpa1 activities of the air service now
are maintained at other stations in
the west and south. it was said. and
the Secretary of War did not feel JUS
titled in asking for the large sum re-
quired to put the local field in proper
working condition.
