SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT :.
BYE. Walker


thing TO be rich. and good thing 10
be strong. but IL is a better thing TO
be beloved Of many friends"
II Is by friendship that we must
strive to battle for truth and right
eousness. All departures from friend
illness takes 10 coldness and strife.
Consider what the world would be If
all the nations of earth were friendly
1t was through friendship that the
souls Of men were redeemed
Think what IL would mean for the
peace, contentment. security and pros
perity OF the people, If they dwelled
in amity. uncOncerned about war, en-
joying quiet homes with their loved
ones, with never doubt about their
neighbors and never a thought of the
jealousies or the evil ambitions Of the
countries beyond the sea.
Neither the rich nor the poor. nor
the high nor the low can partake Of
the fun blessings of life without
friendship. We cannot get the best
within the world without giving the
best within us.
And this excellent thing, this divine
essence that exalts men and women.
takes them to the very gates of heaven
and stirs the fountain of good within
their souls. is nothing more or less
than simple friendship.

THREE-PIECE COSTUME is LIKED
Feminine Daintiness About Outfit

Fashion Leaders.

one OF the most interesting modes
is revealed In the three-piece costume.
No longer need one feel i'll at ease

for beneath its folds is concealed
charming creation which is very diff
ferent from the skirt and waist that
has often initiated against the use Of
the tailored suit. OF course the latter
has its devOteeS as well as its particu-
lar uses. which are most admirable.
However. there Is q feminine dainti-
ness about the three-piece costume
that will, undoubtedly. win the in
dorsement of many leaders of fashion
as the season advances.
In such creations. wonderful fabrics
are combined and many Of them are
exceedingly beautiful. Those for the
waists are often daZzlingly brilliant.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER |. ROBINSON.

THE sun cannot shine con-
stantly. There always will
be some rainy days.
n person who would throw
away his umbrella or his rain
coat every time the clouds dis
appeared would be considered a
lunatic.
One meal will not satisfy our
StOmachs the remainder of our
lives. We must eat every so
often if we wish to live and
avoid hunger. No one would
think of eating everything he
had if he didn't expect to get an
other meal within a reasonable
time.
These assertions may seem
but primary lessons on the i'm
portance of vision. Yet many of
mature age could study them
with benefit. Experience already
has taught quite a few that look
ing ahead is essential to happi-
ness and comfort.
Wages and incomes during the
last few years have been higher
than ever before. Luxury buy
ing and extravaganza in pleas
ure seeking have gone along to-
gether. Many thought they had
struck a well of gold that
never would 20 dry.
But the inevitable has han
pened. Those who demanded ex-
orbitant profits and those who
forced high wages and who. i'm
both instances. spent as fast as
they received. are beginning TO
see the folly of their ways. In
many cases the fruit has an ex-
tremely bitter taste.
\ little vision in the beginning
would have prevented cries of
distress. Some may find il too
late 10 benefit from their lesson
since they are sliding down the
precipice. These will have many
difficulties in climbing back over
the jagged rocks.
Few there are who cannot
still make a start In the road OF
thrift and fairness which is the
sure way to prepare if rainy
days" should come.

Use it intensively. and get all the
work into it that can be packed there.
Use every hour effectively, either in
work or play. But never borrow any
of II ahead. Never put mortgage
on the hours of tomorrow or of next
week.
And. being careful not to borrow any
of your own time, be just as careful
not TO borrow any time that belongs
TO others, by dropping into Offices for
idle chats, or interrupting them when
they are at work
Time is the one thing in the world
with fixed limit. That which is
borrowed is lost, and none of us have
so much that we can lose it without
disastrous consequences.

It's petals pulled apart,

And yet no man l ever knew
Could tell me how the first one grew.
We are the wise. the very wise
All things we understand:
1t is no trick to analyze
And give them breed and brand.
We know the distances of night
From Pleiades to Mars,
And we can measure all the light
OF all the shining stars.
And yet, l wonder. could we place
A single star in all of space?
We are the wise, the very wise,
No need of God have we.
We know man lives, we know man
dies
The rest is mystery.
And. since we cannot comprehend,
No more may hope to know,
We say that death must be the end
And nothing more is so.
Ii seems to me, mere manikins,
Our knowledge ends where Gods be-
gins.

are making some soul happier, light

OF all felicities friendship is the

Ii eases cares. dispels sorrows and

that all the wealth of the world can

There are people everywhere whose
hearts are hungry for appreciation

Strew DER their rugged way the flow
ers Of friendship and clasp them by

Pour sunshine into their hearts and

dull eyes and the smile that plays
about their lips.

VoU can replace borrowed ten

You cannot replace a borrowed hour,
for that particular hour will never
come to you again.
The amount of money a man can
make is limited only by his energy and
acquisitive ability, which is otherwise
known as his financial genius.
The amount of time he has, has a

When you put off tOday's job till

Today's job has got TO be done some

In which it was intended to be done
than I'm the time that belongs TO to-
mOrrOw's job.

His affairs become involved for

no power on earth that can restore

To take for idleness the time that
ought TO be devoted to work is borrow

Is as important as the work You

My one great ambition. gentlemen,
Is to see the creation of revolving

of the waste places of the whole of
the United States. Every state in the
Union, including Alaska. has projects
deserving of the attention of the best
thought of our nation. My State of
Nevada has many SUCH Water, wher-
ever It can be used on land, is river
of gold in every sense of the word.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in
a fund for this purpose-for water
storage and distribution over arid
lands-would create billions of wealth,
draw interest as 1t did SO, help solve
the unemployment problem and ulu-
mately be returned to the United
States Treasury to the last penny of
principal, plus interest.

West awaits those who are willing to

we have great mineral resources: also
