sRIsBANE,s HOPES

one of the most astoundingly American com ments which have followed the election of Harding was made by Arthur Brisbane in this imperiaistic manner.
 Will Harding extend the territory of the United States south as far the other side of the Panama Canal thus comforting a great blessing on every square foot of Mexico?g
 Brisbane, chief editorial writer for Hearst bit- terly opposed the League of Nations during the re- cent campaign. So did Hearst Hearst, at one time was and probably now is, of Mexican lands These will be made profitable, and of greater value by annexation of Mexico
 The League of Nations would prevent American annexation of even foot of Mexican or any other soil.
 What wonderful opportunity" exclaimed Bris- bane, flor man (meanng President elect Hardfne) who has the richest country in the world and one hundred and five millions of peoples to work withl
 It is to be hoped-most sincerely-that Harding does not believe with the Brisbane annexa- tioniss that the wealth millions peoples of the United States may be used tools in this wonder ful opportunity crush rob a sister republic Americans have no desire to make a conquest of Mex ico-not even to increase the wealth of William Randolph Hearst.
 It is to be regretted that Americans did not learn until after the election why that Hearst and Brisbane were vociferous their opposition to the League of Nations Their confession of Mexican dreams of imperialism tells why they stood where they did.

Second Wind
p GEORGE MATTHEW ADAus

THE race of Success is won iust
u like any other race-On Second
Wind. Second Wind is nothing more
or less than reserve power responding
and carrying one through TO the end.
BE Second Wind Performer
Some people never experience Sec
ond Wind-simply because they never
put forth the necessary effort TO en-
able them TO draw on their reserve
lung space. But the reserve is there
just the same.
Be Second Wind Performer.
The successful man goes through all
the little processes of failure and dis
enlargement and defeat-then he gets
his Second Wind-puShes all the set
backs aside, and carrying great mo-
mentum. he goes on and on. This Is
always the story of the one who has
the courage and stamina to press on
until the Second Wind is reached.
Be Second Wind Performer.
If you want TO experience the de-
light and power that results from the
acquiring of your Second Wind you
have but to do more than you are told
to do-more than you have to do.
Second Wind comes through Initiative,
Enthusiasm and Determination.

presence of the watermelon seed Is n
standing reproach.
Watermelons intended .or shin
ment are picked before they have had
time to get ripe anywhere except on
the surface, when they are sent into
the far North and bought insight and
unseen by people who hope for the
best. All such purchases are usually
followed by disappointment and q re-
bellious uprising in the stomach. Eco
nomical housewives try to get even
by manufacturing the watermelon
pickle, which is fed all winter to
cowed husbands, who are too broken
spirited TO resist.
The watermelon Is a great delicacy
when it is allowed TO stretch out and
get ripe internally. If there were
more of this kind of watermelons to
be had, the average grocer would not
wear such hunted look.
