The Law of the Mind.

The science of psychology has dis
covered many important laws concern
ing ahe working scheme of the hui
man mind.
To begin with, it has been ascertain

For all the infinite variety of physical
types among men. the laws governing
their physical existence are the same
Tor all. The same pertains to the
laws and basic principles that regulate
their thoughts.
According to one of these laws, the
human mind works syntheticallv. that

Harriet Fisher was born in the

sa5aa at the home of her daughter,
MRS. Lucy Alcorn, near EdgeWooa,
Iowa. on June rs, 1920. Had she lived
cs,a more day she would have been Oh
years old. Last December her healtn
began to fail, the disease that attacked
Elar being neuritis. She was not apie
yo rally her strength and when pneu-
raonia set in she failed rapidly to the
end.
When she was young woman she
came with her parents to McGregof'
Iowa. Here on April %, 1871 she was
united in marriage with John 'knlcK-
erbocker. To this union six children
were born. Those living are Alfred l.
and Mrs. Lucy Alcorn of Edgewood'
Iowa; Mrs. Effie Lash of Alexander
North Dakota; and William, OF MO-
line, North Dakota. Those who pre-
ceded her in death are baby and
Mrs. Sarah Richards. Her husband
died nine years ago. Mrs. Knicker-
bocker's life was frightened by the
coming of twelve grandchildren and
she gave to them warm and unstinted
affection. Beside her immediate fam
lily there remain to mourn her death
one brother, Joseph Fisher, of Charles
City, Iowa, and two sisters, Mrs. Sarah
Hampshire of McGregor, Iowa; and
Mrs. Clara Gillet of Charles City, Iowa.

Lasting happiness results from
building ideals into concrete struc-

have their worth, but even that de-

Many log valuable for furniture

fitted to good ends. Joy comes from
projecting yourself into the future and

no matter whether they are in Geor-

is to be put into operation with the
idea OF netting the government every
penny it can get. Reports from GER

are failing to account for this tax,
that they are selling thousands of gal
Ions of soft drinks in the place of
beer and intoxicants and that they
are reaping small harvest for them
selves but forgetting the governments
end of the matter.
instructions have been sent to Col
lector of Internal Revenue Blalock in
Atlanta to add penalties in all cases
where there is evidence of willfu1 at
tempts to evade payment. The max
imum penalty for each offense is a
fine OF not more than $4,000, one
years Imprisonment or both
Whether offers of compromise will
be considered, or recommendation
made for prosecution will depend
upon the facts disclosed in each par

that persons who knowingly appro-

is their duty to collect and return to
