JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.
ARTISTS AND ART.


We got to talking art one day, discussing
In a general way
How some can match with brush and
paint the glory of tree.
And some in stone can catch the things
of which the dreamy poet sings,
While other seem to have no way to tell
the joys they see.
Old Blake had sat in silence there and let
each one of us declare
Our notions of what's known as art, until
he'd heard us thru;
And then said he: at seems to me that
any man, whoe'er he be.
Becomes an artist by the good he daily
tries to do.
He need not write the books men read to
be an artist. No, indeed
He need not work with paint and brush
to show his love of art;
Who does. kindly deed today and helps
another on his way,
Has painted beauty on his face and
played the poets part
"Tho some of us cannot express our Utmost
thoughts of loyeliness,
We prove we love the beautiful by how
we act and live;
The poet singing Of a tree greater poet
is than he
Who finds it in his heart some care unto
a tree to give,
1.-THE he who works in marble stone the
name of artist here may own.
No less an artist is the man who guards
his children we'll:
'Tis art to love the fine and true, by what
we are and what we do;
How much we love life's nobler things
to all the world we tell"

1t is. announced by the Rockefeller
Foundation that a Japanese doctor in
it's employ has discovered a vaccine
for yellow fever. Heretofore, work in
yellow fever control has been entirely
that of prevention of infection by
controlling breeding places of the mos
quito which carried the yellow fever
germ. The isolation of the yellow fe-
Yer organism, however. has made it
possible TO develop a serum which it is
believed will reduce the mortality
from yellow fever and a vaccine which
gives promise of protecting the nom
immunes against contracting the dis
ease. The time may come when a
means Of preventing tuberculosis may
be discovered but until such time ar
rives we must do our best to fight the
disease wherever and whenever it APP
pears. This is the object of the sale

that they also serve who only stand
and wait" 1 believe in the life ,enthu-
siastie whereby one mans soul keeps
stirring the souls of other men thru
his faith and visions and daily deeds.
You may experience many unhappy
things each day, but if you never fail
to keep giving something of what you
have to those who have not, you will
never be wholly unhappy-and besides
you will taste of much sweetness and
life will come with it's best angels to
lead you on.
Be a specialist. There is person
to whom have never spoken, though
I am inspired by the smile on his face
as pass him to and fro from day to
day on my way to work. He gives as
he goes.
The greatest thing we have to give
is our influence. If your mind is
clean and fine, and your heart always
open, what you will be able to give to
the world will make it a very much
happier and better place in which to
live.
So-keep giving something, to some
one, somewhere-all the time!

Because of the elasticity of our
credit structure thru the agency of
the federal reserve system, says Ar
mour & Co, it seems very probable
that prices are going to continue to
decline thru the winter ard that prob
ably the end of February will see the
low ebb in this period of deflation.
BY that time, they continue, wages
viii have been affected materially and
that and other costs of production will
have been reduced. Retailers will
p have become convinced beyond any
doubt that all must follow the down
ward trend; stocks will begin to move
once more; orders will begin to flow
thru the ordinary channels; the farm
er cannot longer hold his grain be-
cause he must have money for the
planting season. There will be addi-
p tlonal business failures, they point out,
but the Industrial needs of the nation
viii be taken care of thru the federal
reserve system so that they will not
have to be restricted beyond the point
where the supply will not be suffi-
cient to take care of normal demand.
