THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

Behavior is a mirror in which every one
displays his image.-Goethe.
THE housing problem is bigger
one now than ID has ever been
before in this country. There
fore good many Of us are either
buying or building houses and we are
coming up against unaccust0med prob
lens.
The first thing TO remember, whether
you buy house from total stranger
or from your neXt-dOOr neighbOr. is
that the transaction is purely one OF
business. 1t should be carried on I'm
an absolutely businesslike way. Just
because you know the man you are
buying the house from is no reason
why you should not have everything
about II put d0wn in the legal form.
And just because the man who is
buying the house from you is Il fIfenA
of yours is no reason why you should
feel any offense because he wants TO
be purely businesslike about the trans
action.
On the other hand, the well-bred
buyer or seller of a house tries always
to do the courteous thing. IL you are
selling house and know that II
would be great convenience 10 those
who buy il To take possession a few
days ahead of the specified time. let
them do so If you can manage to.
Remember when you sell house
that the garden goes with It, If you
want to transplant any of your favor
tie flowers after the house is sold Il
is the courteous thing TO ask permits
sion of the persons you have sold 1t
TO. And remember that once the deed
Is signed everything about the house
belongs not to you. who have sold II,
even though you are still living i'm IL,
but to the person who has bought II.
And although you are entitled to live
in II until the date agreed upon. you
are not entitled TO take anything
away from II that goes with the house.
When you buy new home it is
quite probable that your friends will
want to see IT, The best way TO avoid
unpleasant feeling and TO make mat
tiers easy for you is to specify
given date when you will be AT home
in the new house. Ii is even some
times good planfo give an informal
tea or at-home to welcome your
friends to your new house and thus
to give them a chance TO see it.

DOG RECOGNIZED ITS HOME

Except for the serial numbers

recognizing one of the 300 destrOyers
in the United States navy from anoth-

strOyer Schenck No. 159 which seems
in this regard TO have far more than
human intelligence.
This dog-Of no particular breed

two years.

Schenck departed, reached another de-

was on the bridge and parked so loud

NOT ON BREAD ALONE
THERE is within all of us an
ever-growing appetite which
Graves substantial nourishment
By F. II. WALKER

THERE is within all of us an
ever-growing appetite which
Graves substantial nourishment
for the soul.
A sumptuous table heaped with
palatable delicacies fails utterly to
satisfy this hunger.
With all our carnal gluttOny we
find ourselves at certain periods Of
our existence yearning for spiritual
food.
Wealth and luxury leave but an
emptiness; poverty and sorrow dis
tress and harden our hearts; the
world is cheat-a bauble that eludes
us and leaves us in vagueness.
We may be taIebearers, liars and
thieves, but in our serious moments
there comes upon us an overwhelm-
ing longing for something that will
appease our appetite, besides bread
alone.
We wish for the sustenance in
which Truth and Mercy are blended.
that our souls may be satiated, and
our fever cooled. In ten thousand
delectable forms it is spread out be-
for us, but we rebel against accept
ing il.
Though we may he starving and
weak to- the point of falling we re-
fuse To eat.
In our misery and WEAKNESS we
crave the everlasting Voice of Nature
to lull us to sweet repose, yet in
strange perverseness we fight to keep
awake.
From all around us comes the call
10 the feast.
1t comes from the silent starry
nights; from the boisterOuS days
from the shimmering silver streams !;
from the dancing leaves of the for
ests: from songs of birds and sigh
ing winds, but our eyes are heavy
and our ears are dull.
Right at our elbows is dust
covered volume filled with uplifting
encouragement and fatherly love,
intended for guidance 10 the very
happiness we desire.
But we let this great book lie in
a dark corner untouched while we
continue to stumble on and cry for
peace.
We refuse 10 open our eyes when
we ought to be wide awake; we de-
cline to close them when we ought
to be asleep; we are wilfully head
strong and insistent upon having our
own way.
We see not the good, but stroll and
strut with evil.
We are human: but within each
one of US there burns the spark of
divinity, and not until this spark shall
he famed by our own hand into
flame, and kept burning by simple
prayer and faith shall our hunger be
fully satisfied.

lN IL OF len $1,000 DeSlue
III his gate,
An honest-faced old
man."
The unknown author of these
lines introduces character
known to everyone and generally
loved In every community
there may be found the aged man,
with the happy. smiling face.
The world has not showered
great amount of wealth upon
him He has gone through
trouble and sickness. He leans
upon his worn cane before the
humble dwelling and he smiles
and chats in his quaint fashion
whenever one passes the gate.
Many who are more fortu-
nate than he feel more cheerful
when they receive his greeting.
They understand that he has
come TO the evening of his life
without piling up riches and
without winning wide honor.
They are battling increasingly
10 win both. They cannot find
the cause for the peaceful look
on the old mans face. They
cannot imagine anyone being
happy in his declining years
without accomplishing much
that they aim To gain.
If one asked this familiar
character to explain the cause
for his apparent content. he
probably could not comply with
the request. The reason is so
simple that even he does not
recognize il.
He has acquired what neither
money nor honor can buy. He
has lived an honest life and
looks the world squarely in the
face. Countless persons are his
trustful friends Lacking much
that others possess, he neverthe-
less has clear conscience and
his mind is at rest. The smiles
he receives from the populace
are the blessings which his own
open-hearted friendliness has
brought him TO bring sunshine
into his few remaining days or
years.
The world needs to catch the
spirit of his kindly old soul.
One is poor indeed, regardless of
his accumulation of gold or his
poverty, if he approaches the
end of the path without sincere
friends.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have
been reading your interesting sheet
for more than year now, and wish
to commend you for the stand you
have taken in behalf of the advance
ment of the downtrodden farmer and
laborer. It is presumed that your
paper was primarily founded for and
dedicated to the interests of the wheat
farmers and in general defense of the
Nonpartisan league, but it has gone
beyond, far beyond, such limited
sphere. Judging from the letters
from the people, one would think that
you have foothold in each and every
state in the Union, which I sincerely
hope you have.
Speaking of the grain farmer, re-
~joice that the League has been of such
great benefit to them. Now what we
want is-that more effort be put forth
to have the League dominate this cot
ton-growing state. The farmers have

about making some suggestions for
quite while. I believe if you would
do away with the state papers and use
the money for the Leader and print
the Leader every week it would be
more satisfactory, and have corre-
spondent in each state to report state
news. ~..,
I like the Leader better than any
paper I have ever read outside of a
religious paper I like. I think it
would be good idea to make special
offers to get new subscriptions in
states where the League is not organ
lied.
The bankers met at Stirling the
other day and here is their remedy
for us: If a tenant wants to borrow
money to buy machinery the landlord
must sign the note too and then he
must produce all he possibly can at
the least expense, which means put
the wife and children in the fields, give
up our machinery and do more hand
work. They didn't tell us to 60 afoot
and save the money and gas for them
to ride in their big cars, but it must
have been an oversight on their part
How does that sound for advice to
free American from 200-per-cent
American? 1t might do for an Irish
man in old Ireland.
Darwin thought the human race de-
scended from the monkey, but if he

he would think they originated from
