THE VAIN QUEST

When a man is poor his ambition is to become rich. When he be- comes rich he longs to be richer. When, in the comparatively rare cases, man feels that he is now rich enough, he wants power and reaches out eagerly for that. When he attains much power his appetite for more is still insatiate and, even if he becomes the most powerful man of his generation, he still is tortured by ambition; his passion is to go down into history as the greatest man of his times and, so strange and contradictory and blind is human nature, he will do small things to win that elusive end No man except the brother to the OK is ever contented and therefore no man, with that one exception, is ever happy for very long at time. No matter how successful a man with any/stuff in him may be the lure of still greater success still beckons him on, to the disturbance of his peace of mind and the dis quiet of his soul.
 In other words, the pursuit of happiness is vain, so far as ever catching the quarry IS concerned. We have observed the rich and powerful with careful attention as opportunity has offered and al- ways have found them, if our judg- ment is not at fault, less contented and less happier than the average run of men. This is doubtless be- cause their capacity for attainment IS larger than other mems and their corresponding capacity for disap- pointment over what is denied them IS proportionately still greater. A rich and powerful man is not to be envied by a man of average abilities who is interested and industrious in his employment, thrifty in his hab- it's, honest and kind in all his re- lationships, who would not do a mean or unjust thing for love or money. If people understood this better, there would be less envy in the world, less heartburning over another's superior successes, less re- sentiment over fate's way of distrib- uting what are called the good things of life, less unrest-Ohio State Journal

Salem Children
Not Getting Mix
Enough Is Claim

: As a result of recent survey made
by the teachers in the Lincoln school
it was found that 112 children, out of
the s45 attending the school. were US
ing a pint or more of milk day. OF
the ls5 children not using it, los gave
as their reason that they did not care
fer it especially. while the remaining
81 said that they would drinkit if they
were enabled to get it.
Taking the case of the Lincoln
school as an example. and assuming
that this percentage prevails in the
city generally, there is about Sc per
cent of the children of Salem doing
without the necessary daily supply of
milk. The parent-teachers associations
OF the various schools are taking the
matter up in an effort to correct the
present state of affairs, and make
some kind of arrangement whereby
each school child will be enable to re.
