AIM SHOULD Be PERFECTION
Man Who 10 Satisfied With Nothing
but the Best 10 Man Who Will
Make Good in Life.

Don't get into the ''that's-good-
enough" habit. Nothing short Of per
feet" should be your motto.
Slovenly habits Of mind and hand
grow faster than good habits. A slip
shod manner Of thinking results in
slipshod methods of work.
You will never become efficient In
any one thing till you get it firmly
fixed in your mind that if another can
do it better than you you are not do
Ing well.
Thoroughness and accuracy play q
big part in the success or failure Of
the individual.
You may be artistic and tempera-
mental and dreamy, but you will never
realize your dreams till you get down
to brass tacks and do what you do
with precision and dispatch.
There is plenty Of time to exercise
your artistic moods after you have
learned all there Is to know Of the
mechanical and fundamental prin-
ciples Of the work or accomplishment
you think you were out to do.
Remember that Interpretation comes
last.
There must be weeks, months and
years of systematic and consistent
drill before one Is capable Of exercis-
ing the faculty Of Interpretation.

Chicago.-Uncle Sans soldiers and

UNCLE SANS BILLS
MUST BE PAID
Up to America to Show World That u
Does What Il Promises
III, to Do.

The argument, sometimes heard
that there should be no need Of an
other Liberty loan, because the var Is
over, indicates there are some pH-sons
40 short-sighted and unpatriotic that
they IRE forgetting the grave dangers
that not so long ago threatened civili-
xation.
One Of the terrors Of the past str ug-
gle was the frightful havoc created by
the enemy on the high seas, which may
be illustrated by an incident, one OF
ten thousand similar ones. 1t was told
by a stranded sailor, lone survivor
Of torpedoed ship. He related how a
German submarine, after sinking the
ship without warning, came to the sur
face and helped to "rescue" the few
who were swimming or drifting about
In the water. They were permitted
to cling to the submarine-in fact, to
find refuge on its deck. An empty
rowboat floated by, and the COM
mander Of the "sub" ordered the sur.
vivors to avail themselves Of it, be.
cause in five minutes the U-boat would
submerge.
The rowboat had no oars. There were
no provisions aboard, no shelter against
storms in this unseaworthy she'll
1t was half-fllled with water-salt wa.
ter-which the survivors had to SCOOP
out with their bare hands The cap
tain and his men descended into the
interior of the Sub" The matches
were closed and gradually the instru
ment of destruction sank out of sight,
leaving the craft, with Its human
cargo at the mercy Of the waves. This
happened in the middle Of the Atlantic
ocean. !
There is only one thing that can
save the world from an upheaval far
more disastrous than that which we
have gone through. That is for Amer
lea and the American people to hold to
law and order, to abide by free institu-
lions, to rebuild, to succor and conf
fort those who have been bowed down
by the terrors Of organized intolerance.
1t Is for us to give more. pay more, do
more. 1t is for us to prove that a
wrong acknowledged becomes an obli-
cation and that Americs does what
ever 1t promises to do.
This can be accomplished only by
periodically getting back Of the Vic
tory Liberty loan and backing it up
to the very limit Of our financial abil-
ity. Uncle Sans bills must be paid
and the boys brought home. Until
then the job won't be finished.

TO MAINTAIN ARMY
POST EXCHANGES.

relieved Of ito work Of maintain.
ing the post exchanges with the
American army. Correspondence
exchanged between General Per.

shows the reason for this ar
rangement was that the Y. M. c.

activities In the American expe.
dictionary forces" thus placing
. rapidly Increasing burden on

sIstance which the Y. M. G: A.
has rendered to the American OK.
