RESPONSIBILITIES.

Thinking Of others does not excuse
folks from respecting their own re-
sponsibilities. The world wouldn't get
along very fast If all our time and
thoughts were given to others. To get
along and have the means to be help
full to others we must do considerable
for ourselves. Our Job must bring
enough returns to the boss to pay him
for the trouble Of bothering with us.
Our home life touches others and we
must see to 1t that our contact leaves
them happier for the touch. Life is
more than mere routine however much
it may seem to be cast in one piece
mold. It's our thoughts for others
that lift us out of the humdrum and
make life worth living. There's no
limit to the enthusiasms of life when
concern for another's welfare gets hold
Of you.

Humidity.

Humidity Is the moisture or aqueous
vapor in the atmosphere. The vapor
is really an invisible gas. When this
vapor becomes visible 1t Is called dew.
fog, mist, haze, clouds, rain, snow, hail,
etc., according to the size Of the drops
OF water or the method by which the
vapor condenses. A given space at a
given temperature can contain only a
definite amount Of moisture. When a
given space contains all of the mois-
ture 1t Is capable Of holding tits said
to be saturated. The percentage Of
moisture in the air to what it would
hold IL saturated Is called the relative
humidity. When the air Is saturated
with moisture the humidity would be
100 per cent and IL half saturated 80
per cent. three-quarter saturated y5
per cent. The Increased humidity has
much to do with the effect Of the tenn
perature on the individual, which Is
the reason the subject Is so commonly
discussed during hot periods.

One thing which handlcaps tAe
great purpose of unity and cooper
s1ion in a society such as the A. s. Of
Z. is illustrated in plant signed by
!. Fred Larson of Trenton township
ard published in an Ellsworth paper
last week. Instead of allowing his
organization to present united front
to the public and thereby display unity
and power, he must advertise to the
world at large that he, personally, is
disgruntled and that he wants others
3 ioin him. His views on the paric-
ular subject or question may or may
rot be based on sound logic, but the
place to present them first is before
ire members of his society, in meet
ing. let the society act upon them as
g whole, and then abide by the decis-
ian of the majority. The only idea
81 independent action such as his,
would seem to be a hankering for
p1olicity, and, apparently publicity
that would put his name before the
voters at no expense to himself. We
would not, therefore, be surprised to
earn that J. Fred's name was about
to be proposed for some political office
or other. Maybe he's being groomed
81 Mr.. Tittemore as a clark horse"
o
Hon. C. E. Hanson has announced
MS candidacy for reelection to the
Assembly and his nomination papers
ere now being circulated. Mr.. Han
son. who is also president OF the
Pierce county A. S. of E., has served
rvoN terms in the lower House OF the
Safe Legislature, and his work there
jr has received hearty commentator.
Tie county A. S. of E., at its recent
aruual meeting, voted a unanimous
s-dorsenent of Mr.. Hanson's candl-
6acy. His efforts in behalf OF the
World War service men and women,
IN urging the present educational
benefit law against strong opposition
viii be gratefully remembered by
tnem. In the first draft OF the Dill,
TIE educational benefits We're restrict

ton or better. In spite of Mr.. Han
sons bitter opposition, this bill passed
but it was vetoed by the Governor.
TIE new measure, which became
law, held just those provisions which
III. Hanson fought for, giving the
benefit to every soldier, regardless OF
his previous scholarship. The pro-
vision whereby part of the appropri-
alton is paid by sur tax was also
one urged by Mr.. Hanson, and 1t has
proved a great feature Of the bill.
MI. Hanson's hobby has been taxation
and tax legislation. His opposition to
the personal property offset and the
raise in the percentage of income tax

Federal tax plank of both national
