ARE YOU PIN PRICKING?

If you should happen to journey to the little viii
age of Brittany, in France, and visit the little
chapel Of st. Kirec, you would see the wooden
image OF this saint whose history is somewhat mys-
terous.
Examine it closely and you will find the wood
filled with tiny holes and if you inquistve dis
cover that the holes have been made with pins
Then, if you inquire. you will find that each Of
those holes is the work OF a girl who has punctured
this wooden image in an endeayor TO find hus-
band.
The legend goes that If the Fin remains in the
image over night the girl who placed it there is
doomed to live a spinster. If it falls it is sign
that the image had himself in the night and
that he will help her find a husband
Those who have advanced to what they delight
in calling the age Of reason, may smile at the ef-
forts of these girls who are driven by some hidden
impulse TO aid their romantic efforts by such
appeal
The cynical might tell them that the better and
more efficient way would be to learn how TO cook
well. to themselves gaudiy and visit the gath
erlng places Of young men and women. TO train
their thoughts and minds that they would become
more attractive.
Leaving any question the efficiency of this
method to the fact that undoubtedly many girls who
have this place and put their pins the
image have married the question might be asked
as to whether those would deny belief
may not profit by example
Psychologists would explain any matrimonial
condolences OF the pins and husbands TO the fact
that the girls who desire husbands go away with
their minds and thoughts firmly fixed this
purpose life. that they think Of it by day. dream
Of it by night, and anxiously watch for any
sponsive signs that they may materially assist in
bringing about realization Of the prophecy
II the rite does get a husband for the girl,
it in all probability helps the girl to get husband
for herself.
Before you smile at these maids OF France, ask
yourself what you depending upon for success
in the particular thing you desire.
If you are IN business. are you waiting for your
luck to trade your way. sticking pin in some
mental image and then waiting. do you stick
your pin in the altar OF hope and then out and
make that wish come true?
II you are looking for happiness. you waiting
for someone TO make you contented or are you
buying happiness by giving it TO others?
n you intent upon glory. do you your
names always in the big type. you doing the
thing that will merit this distinction?
Are you living in a world OF luck and chance
have you a real desire. real ambition a real pur-
pose for which YOU ready TO work and sacrifice?
Pin priclSing may be more than a superstition
a pastime. II puts behind it a faith in oneself.
a determination TO gain desired goal Will that
enables one deserve that goal.

~ to the methods OF secret diplomacy employed by
the conference.
II the world is denied peace or agreement for
peace let the blame lie on the shoulders OF those
Americans who lad the power and the opportunity
20 force the diplomats Of other nations into the
open
When there came disagreement in the secret
conference over the submarine question secy
Hughes appealed to the premier OF France. over
the heads Of the delegates
That taken affront by the head Of the
delegation who. It happens has it within his power

When Hughes disregarded this delegate. he con-
verted. for France the entire question into local
political one in which the holding OF job was
much more important 20 the men with the decision
than any benefit TO be gained by settlement
BRAND. the premier. did not dare urge his dele
gate TO compromise for ne knew that such action
would only further affront whose political
support he needs.
Had that conference been out in the open. this
irritated delegate Of France would have been COM
PEELED to tell the world why France demands a
large number Of submarines.
lie would have had tell the world that it wants
them because with them can control the Mediter-
ranean ocean against the British rule OF the
That would have had lttle appeal to his own
citizens who do not desire anything but peace and
who would not welcome the suggestion that they
need 10 against Britain.
Had the conference been held IN the OPEN
Britain which urges fewer submarines. would have
been forced 10 say that the describing Of these
assassins would help her hold 10 her possessions
IN Africa and Asia and that these submarines, in
the hands Of other nations. will permit her 10
starve any rebeous dominions into submission.
That discussion would have unmasked the secret
ate
the conference and disclose it thinking of war
and OF future wars. not OF peace and perpetual
peace
AS the situation stands, the nations will build no
more battleships. These battieshps cost too much
money for bankrupt nations and useless any
way. against submarine and air warfare
The world will go ahead with its submarines, as
fast as designing and greedy governments build
them.
And remember that the submarine is a war
weapon useful only in and capable of no serv-
ice in times OF peace.

THE SUPER-COVERNMENT.

The charge by Sen. La Toilette that The tax law.
or an important part of IT, was written at secret
gathering OF special interests is to be passed
over lightly.
In effect. ne charges that the heads Of railroads
steel industry and construction organizations met
with officials Of farm organizations and bargained
FOR favors which We're to be raid for by the con-
Stunning public
Tn farmers who belong to the organizations
whose heads entered into the agreement will know
how to deal with their oficers-for the farmer is
the largest consumer and he Will want 20 know
why he was sold il sold he was
But for the vast population who have depend
upon the integrity OF their representatives in

tIon exists when few men gather in secret
and issue orders 10 congressman with certainty

There IS a growing condition Washington that
snenaces the welfare OF the government and which
is striking traditions OF legislation.
This is the increase in the number Of organized
Hobbies which there seeking special privileges
and special laws
There are now over 200 Of these organizations
which have highly paid experts on the Job. TO coax

In this instance. the principals charged with

Ia Toilette says that the law viii cost the

from the pockets of the common people.
OF greater import than the in dollars Is the
suggestion that there be in this country a super
government by who powerful enough 20
shove through any law they demand without regard
for the common welfare.
Every law should be passed rejected upon its
merits and the light what might be expected

The remedy for many OF the present conditions
lies IN a return 20 the traditional foundations OF
government and the strongest OF traditions is that
members OF congress shall represent the men and
who elect them, not a few strong interests
who command their services.

THE PATIENT MAN.
He didn't mind the petty cares.

He didn't mind the petty cares.
The little things which make US

Like frequent climbing of the stairs
For books or mothers sewing set;
The noise the children made at play.
The costly things their hands de-
stroyed.
Somehow he seemed to smile away,
He was not easily annoyed.
The little Disappointment came,
As come they must 10 all OF US,
But he was never quick TO blame
And never one 10 make a fuss:

And he Will spoil a happy day
Who whimpers at a little care.

Horseshoe pitching will be an m
tercollegiate sport during the win
ter at Iowa State college and Drake
university
When Silas Silo sent his youthful
Hiram off TO college
He warned the lad against the
lures Of modern student life.
Paternally he told him 20 collect a
lot of knowledge
And not waste his precious time
in useless football strife.
For Silas was a stern old gent who
had old-fashioned notions
And looked upon athletics with a
grim and scOrnful snort.
1t filled his ancient bosom with lot
OF sad emotions
To think or playing football games
or any other sports.
But now he struts around among
the natives Of the village.
The hat he wore for seven years
won't fit him any more.
He bitches old gray Dobbln and neg
lects his autumn tillege
To hang around and pose among
the gossips at the store.
And even Dobbin. old and gray and
broken down and skinny,
Is growing sleek and frisky and
his eyes are all agleam.
He kicks against the whifietree with
many a youthful whinny
Since Hiram won his letter on the
college horseshoe team.
