were sounded at many mines throughout
the state in a foriorn hope that workers
might be inclined to return.

Unexpectedly, you get criticism which stngs-you
feel it is unjustyou do not value the source but just

You are tempted to retort in kind.
How much better would you be than the one who

Be balanced-so poised-that you take the shot

If you have sense of humor that may make it easier.
But do not scorn the criticism just because you are

Just hang that criticism up mentally till you have made

THE BAD DAYS

Oh, now and then there comes along
A day when everything goes wrong,
1t seems to be the fate of man,
Although he does the best he can,
to meet from time to time a day
When all his plans will go astray;
He may have rested well at night,
He has his hearty appetite,
His body feels no touch of pain,
He's keen of eye and quick of brain
Or so he thinks himself to be-
And yet his work is poor to see.
His fingers tumble all they touch,
His hands will not accomplish much
He makes mistakes which are absurd
Misunderstands the spoken word,
And though he diligently tolls,
Whate'er he tries to do h. spoils.

His troubles pile up one by one,
And constantly before his eyes
New difficulties seem to rise
Nor skill nor strength nor all his
pluck
Can save him from his sorry luck.
On such day, and to us all,
1t seems that such day must fall;
In vain it is to fret or curse
Bad conduct makes bad matte!F

Go take the losses and the cares,
Let failure strike you unawares
And miss the goal you ought to win
But meet your troubles with grin;

You cannot help the manyway-

And no mans always at his best.

FOR HIM to get out of it.
AND THE day of the wedding.

AND A couple of days

OVER MILLION FOR TIRES
DURING SEASON OF 1919

American motorists will spend over
sl,000,O 900 FOR automobile and truck
tires during 1919. This is the estimate
of the 3. F. Goodrich Rubber Co., and
Is based on conservative average price
per tire. This amount does not include
money expected to be expended for
inner tubes and repair materials,
which undoubtedly would swell the
total by several million dollars.
Before the year closes it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that fully 100000
motor vehicles will be in operation in
this country. Three'fourths % the tires
for this enormous number of cars and
trucks will be made in Akron.
