Got a bad start again this morning
A st~enographer with red lips redder
still kissed by a lip stick on the sill
gave me to a t%axicabber because she
got up too late to catch her street
car.
The taxicabber fellow took me in
to a grogless grog shop and handed
me over to a melancholia man who
hasn't smiled since July l, 1919, re-
ceiving in exchange for my own good
self a listless liquid that looked like
what it wasn't. The melancholia ex-
ponent of a lost art soon tossed me
into the hands of a chocolate colored
manipulation of mops.
The insulting name in which |
was being thrown around got me all
"het up, so much so that burned
the palm of Rastus who hustled me
into the clutches of a handsome high
wayman who prefers inflated prices
to nitroglycerine, Rastus being re-
warded with a necktie livid beyond
the georgeousness of a poisoned pea
cock.
My new owner tripped merrily
across the street and gleefully babe
me goodbye as he put three big,
black, bitter cigars in his pocket.
Next | was taken into a cool, marble
lined building which appeared to be
a convention hall for members of my
tribe and where me and my bright
musical brothers appeared to com
mand some respect for l heard a
businesslike voice saying, at will
cost you 8 per CEN for the use of
that money" "At last" said I to
my goddess of too much liberty
there is some one who still has a
little affection for me-" But my
e~xaltation was short lived. I felt
myself being pushed out Of a little
window and showed into a sat:hel
and when next I saw the light of day
I was at the elbow of a young woman
wearing a scowl, a georgettc waist
and a diamond about the size Of 4
spendthrift's Adams apple. She gave
me out as change to a man with a
cigaret and seven children.
After the show we went into an
ice cream parlor where | melted
away like a schoolteacher's salary.
Then the ice cream man grabbed me
out of the till and insisted that l re
main with a barber in exchange for
a skin-em-quick haircut. l made the
barber nervous so he passed me along
for a jazz smeared monograph re
cord and the jazz merchant spent me
for joyride gas. When l regained
consciousness a young mar with a
naughty air and wonderful pink silk
shirt was giving me to a florist for a
pair of pansies. The florist passed
me along as rent money to a sharp
eyed, genial gentleman who actually
seemed glad to get me. W. S. 5.

EVERY TIME WE FALL

Some one has said that all pro
gress is due to human discomfort
that unhappiness and dissatisfaction
are the m~ain-springs of practically
all the impulses that lead to discov-
ery. invention and eventually human
progress. If this is so, and there
is undeniably a very great amount
of truth in it, there is value in dis
content. Discomfort, anyway, In
most worthwhile persons, is merely
another nam for ambition. The
c%ontented mar is " ambitious.
He is satisfied with things as they
are. Civilization would stand still or
slide back if it had to depend on him.
Therefore, as some wise person
has said, "The greatest glory is not
in never falling, but in rising every
time we fall"
Rising every time we fall is not
easy. Observe the efforts of a baby
learning to walk. If the baby were
afraid of falling it would ever learn
to walk. The adult is merely the ba-
by grown UP. He has learned to
walk, but he "falls" over other things
But remember this: you would never
fall if you were content to sit in a
chair and let others carry all the bur-
dens of life. 1t is obvious that the
man who falls is the man who tries.
Are you trying? Are you afraid
of falling or are you just content
to sit and let others do it?
1t is a great world-full of oppor-
tunities, full of hopes, disappiont-
ments, discomfort and dissatisfaction
and 50 on. But don't despise your
self because you are filled with dis
content. Turn this discomfort in the
direction that worthy men always
turn it-into real effort to overcome
the obstacles that produce discomfort
Be ambitious. You will never get
2 better chance to get ahead than
you have right now. Only the unde-
Gliding and the hesitating falter and
in the end are lost. Make your own
destiny. Again we repeat, ''The

HAS GOOD CROP

A. J. Bauer, whose farm is six
miles north says he is feeling pretty
good over his prospects for a nice
yield Of wheat and flax. His fields
show good height, a nice stand and
big heads. He has a comparatively
small acreage planted GAO acres)
but believes in farming only what he
can farm we'll. Mr.. Bauer does not
depend on grain alone but keeps
cows and makes regular deliveries
in town of butter, cream, buttermilk,
etc.

PURCHASES A FRUIT FARM

P. A. Campbell returned this
morning from a trip to eastern Wash
ington to look for a location. He
found something that suited him at
Chelan, about 40 miles from Wen
atchee, and bought a 16 acre irrigat-
ed fruit farm all in bearing orchards.
He will move his family out within a
week or two. Mr.. Campbell recently
sold his interest in the Globe clothing
store and is making the change on
account of his health.

SIGN YOUR NAME

The Herald has received a brief
unsigned communication with the re-
quest to publish it. No paper cares
to establish the precedent of pub
fishing articles, of a critical nature,
whose source is unknown to the ed
itor and it is hardly fair to ask it.
A newspaper maj has trouble enough
that is unavoidable without acting as
a shield for others. Signed articles,
if considered suitable, will be publish
ed and the pleasure of the contribut-
or will be regarded in the matter of
publishing the name, unless the ma
ture of the contribution requires
that the name be published.
