The New Year Promises Better
Fortune
Fortune

-HE most confirmed pessimist, consider
ing the year nineteen-twenty and guag-
ing correctly the outlook for the year
nineteen and twenty-one, must ;-gree that the
people of the United States en- the whole
have enjoyed a most prosperous twelve
months and are destined tt even better for
tune in the new year that began yesterday.
The business depression marking the close
of the year just ended, by comparison with
conditions in other countries and certain
periods in our OWE history, has not been
nearly so dark as the croakers would have us
believe. Here and there industry mas peen
seriously affected, many individuals have felt
the pinch along with many firms and cor
porations; but there has been nothing ap-
preaching real disaster and, il the year be
considered altogether, the sum total Will
show healthy financial average on the
part of all.
Depression where it has occurred has ap-
peared worse than it actually was, no doubt,
because of the long period Oh intense pros
perity that has preceded it. But in this
there is cause for congratulation rather than
gloom, for that very era OF bounty given TO
America has been the nations salvation In
the natural reaction that followed.
The reaction was inevitable. There was no
one who did not know it was coming months
ahead Of time and who, were he wise, did
sequence the business world was never pet
ter able to Withstand drops il prices and
economy by the buying public. Likewise
thousands of individuals had been able to lay
aside for the rainy day no small share OF
their exceptional earnings of the past three
or four years. Thus, where depression mas
struck, the blow generally was expected and
a bulwark provided. In such circumstances
the country has come through the temper
ary stringency with colors fairly flying.
1t may be that the reaction from war
prices and war salaries set If sooner than
the majority of people had expected but IL
this be true, it is likewise true that 1t Will
be the sooner past. Financial leaders and
business men of authority agree that the
crisis of depression has been reached and
successfully withstood, and that every pass
ing month of the new year will see improve
ment.
Thus the new year downs brightly. 10
paraphrase Caesar, the aftermath OF the war
has come, we have seen it ana felt it, and
we have conquered it. We knew that 1t was
bound to come. May it not be that 1t mas

the path ahead Of us the better for 1t as IN

The Manhood Of Today

x NE who reads the history Of the hardy
nioneers who carved this nation out
of the wilderness, and then turns by
contrast to an examination Of the tired busl-
ness men" around him, might come ito the
conclusion that the race is on the down
grade physically and that the average man
of today is not nearly the equal OF the aver
age man of fifty and hdnd4ed years ago.
Yet that such is not the case we nave on
the authority of no less sportsman and keen
observer than Walter Camp, the football
coach, who expresses the opinion that not
only Is manhood as red-blooded and we'll
conditioned on the whole as it was in the
days of the pioneers, but that it is In the
power Of any man to put himself in the
healthy class should he make the effort
'"The man twenty-five years ago who
reached success and kept his health at the age
of fifty or over was the country-bred man.
and it was the life he led before coming to
the city that made him vigorous. alert man
even at that age," says Mr.. Camp. But
today the alert, vigorous man o. over rlfty,
successful may be either the country-ored
man or the city-bred man. II he be country
bred, his stamina comes from the healthtul
life he lived in youth; if city bred, he may
be no less healthful and vigorous, but in his
case his stamina comes from the habit OF
exercise, Of participating in ~healthful sports
out in the open-gOlf, tennis and the like.
Mr.. Camp might have gone step farther
man can, if he so chooses, be just as healthy
as the country-bred man. On the surface,
that might not appear to be the case, FOR
the typical picture of the country-bred man
or boy is Of a husky, florid-faced individual,
who rises with the lark, works in the tield
the day long and goes to bed at night with
his every fiber alive with health and vgor.
It is too, picture that appeals often to The
chap who must drudge all day long In the
office and at night finds himself weary unto
death. -
But consider, for a moment. what advan-
tages the city man has, Though he must
work indoors, he has living>conditions of the
best-windows he may open day or night; a
wide assortment of foods to- select from;
many different kinds Of sport that make for
his health; clubs, swimming pools and the
like. >-.-e-
1t is not. after all, so much question OF
working outdoors all day, as it is Of forming
the right habits and keeping to them. Fewer
cigarettes and fewer late hours. the right
kind of food and certain amount Of regular
exercise daily will put man into condition
where he can afford to holdsup his head wher
he reads of the pioneers. ~ssss -. ID

NEW YEAR PROVERBS
By H. Addington Bruce

IN the threshold of new year 1t is
( always we'll to pause and do little
- serious thinking Foolish is the man
who gives neither a look backward nor look
forward as the years dawning turns for him
another page of opportunity.
For that is what a new year always Offers
fresh opportunity. Always it gives chance
to correct past errors, to overcome weaknesses,
to make definite advance.
Only the errors must be acknowledged, the
weaknesses recognized, a program for progress
marked out. Thinking it may aid thereto |
have called from the wisdom of the ages a
few suggestions which happily may serve as
starting points for some really constructive
New Years thinking:
He most lives who thinks most, feels the
nobleSt, acts the best.
Living we'll is the best revenge we can take
on our enemies.
He who lives without restraint will die with
out honor
Prudent cautious sef-contrel is wisdom's
root.
Love warns more than thousand fires.
Dry bread is better with love than a fat
capon with fear.
Be loving and you'll never want for love.
If you love yourself overmuch, nobody else
will love you at all
Suffer in order to know; toll in order to
have
One secret of success is to know how to
deny yourself and other people
Success is by acting, not wishing.
Deserve success and you shall command it.
clean mouth and an honest hand will take
man through any land.
Honesty is the best policy but he who acts
On that principle is no honest man.
Life would be too smooth if it had no rubs
in it,
The only sure path to tranquil life is
through virtue.
Life gives nothing to men without great
labor.
hundred years of idleness are not worth
one hour we'll employed.
1dlenesS is only the refuge of weak minds and
the holiday of FOOLS
He who has good health is young, and he
is rich who has no debts.
There are none so poor they cannot help, and
none so rich as not to need help
He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be
innocent.
If you make money your god, twill plague
you like the devil
man who is proud of his money has rarely
anything else to be proud Of
There is abundance of money spent to be
laughed at.
He who goes too hastily often stumbles on Z
fair road
whoever is in hurry showeth that what he
is about is too big for him.
Don't simply read these proverbs and pass tc
something else Stop bit and ponder them
IN especial ponder any that seem to touch
upon some shortcoming of your own. For tc
give final properb:
NO man is the worse for knowing the worst
of himself "o'''

FRIENDSHIP
BY DIR. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
The word is too small for it's contents. It
means something bigger than any word can
hold.
For it means that force which ia bebind
all social evolution. 1t means the one re-
dempt1ve dynamic in the world. It means the
energy in the life-sap of the tree of humanity
that at last shall blossom into the millen-
mum.
It is the Key Word which unlocks the mvs-
teries of all tim,
1t is the inner light that gives reality and
Intelligent substance to the catchwords of
controversy, to the technical terms of theol-
ogy, to all the incoherent cries of the race.
For instance, Religion, at least all of it
that is of any practical use, is no more nor
less than the Friendship of God.
The greatest poem in Religion was that of
David, the Jewish farmer boy, into whose
mind flashed the noblest and most effective
conception of Deity, when g sang, "The
Lord is my Shepherd, shall not want"
The redemptive, transforming and en-
nobl1ng element in Religion is not so much
our belief in God as it is the discovery of the
fact that God believes in u.s.
That the Infinite is friendly! When a
man grasps that, Ill ethics become luminous,
all progress possible all righteousness at
tainable 1t is the one electric creed
Jesus would have said enough had He only
taught men to say, "Our Father"
But He reinforced that with the amazing
parallels of the Prodigal Son and the Ninety
and Nine Sheep.
Friendship is the secret of dealing with
Children. No one can teach Child without
first becoming his Friend.
Friendship is the spirit that insures and
makes permanent the Love Of man and wom-
an. Love dies between man and wife when
they cease to believe in one another In Love
the abiding quality is Frien ship.
Friendship is the key to Industrial peace.
Labor and Capital join in cheerful produc-
ton, and all the bitterness is removed when
once they learn that they are Friends, not
Enemies.
All the curse of Glass, the hostile array,
one against the other, of Labor Union and
Employers Association, of Proletaria, Bour-
geois, and Aristocrat, disappears as morbid
fiction if they can come to understand that
they are Friends.
Politically speaking Friendship is the prin-
ciple of evolution in government, and the his
tory of states is but growth toward wider
and more inclusive Friendships. For what
is Patriotism but national Friendship
And the League Of Nations looks to a
world Friendship.
That, also, is what Christianity means,
especially the Missionary movement.
Every Christmas comes trumpeting the
same message: "Be Friends! Peace Oh earth
and goodwill among men,"
Let us unlearn our competitions, and find
high adventure in cooperation.
Democracy is Organized Friendship

"safety First" for Editor
