The strong man is the one who is
never ready to accept as decisive
either defeat or victory.
he never rests upon his oars, nor on

lesson in the stiffening of the lip.
But the man who is whipped. is

Some men and women show in their
very faces that they never expect hap

dog who is afraid to fight for his

UNCLE sAM-PILOT.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

UNCLE SAM-PILOT.
Things amt lookin' none too good,
But let's keep on sawin' wood;
Clouds appear a trifle thick,
Rut IL was asked to pick
Out a sheiterin' place to stay
Till the storm goes by. I'd say:
LET me be right where 1 am
I've got faith in Uncle SAM"
Right now, fur as I can see,
There's no better place to be;
Run the flags an countries thru,
An the old red. white an blue
Seems more fitted fer rough weather
Than the rest o. them together.
Nail this slogan up fer me-
Here is where / want to be.
Troubles? Sure, we've got our share,
But not more than we can bear,
An our cares amt halfNso bad
As the ones our fathers had:
So, if they came thru all right,
Looks to me as tho we might.
Anyhow, here's one who'll stick
To the flag, thru thin or thick.
When the weather starts to blow,
It's conso1in' If you know
That the pilot OF the ship
Has a strong an steady gripe
An knows how to take the seas;
So in troubled days like these,
Let me say right glad / am
That our pilots Uncle Sam.

Cotton prices in that first war winter
were actually less than half what they
are now, tho the cotton growers are
claiming that present figures mean
bankruptcy. Steel prices were down
to marks which make present figures
look high. and most mills were oper-
ating with about q third of their nor
NAL forces. Bank cleariugs were
about one-third what they are at pres
ent. Retail sales. as checked back by
the big New York stores, were consid-
erably less thai half what they have
been this winter. Many people may
find this hard to believe, but the COM
parative figures prove the statements
true.
