WORLD HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Like Ponce de Leon, People Today
Are Apt to Believe What They
Want to Believe.

Ponce de Leon didn't originate the
idea of a spring of eternal youth. That
was not ia his mind when he sailed
for the new world. He sailed with
Columbus upon the latter's second trip
and was appointed governor OF Porto
Rico. where he' believed gold existed
In abundance. While exploring the is
land he met an old savage, who told
MIN that not only was there gold TO
be found in another country 10 the
~northwArd. but also there existed in
the and II spring whose waters
brought eternal youth. So the rest
less adventurer set out upon his
search and discovered Florida.
All of which ~ stated not because
the Information is new, but TO call at
tention to the fact that Ponce de Leon
believed the eternal youth proposition
because he wanted TO. remarks a writ
er in the Columbus Dispatch. All OF
us. 10 this good day, do the same
thing. We believe that which we de-
sire to believe whether 1t is good or
bad. We believe the scandals we hear
about others when we want TO be
lieve them-and we reject them II we
do not want To believe such things Of
the persons connected with the scan
DIAL.
Further. we usually hear that which
we are DESTROYS of hearing. The willy
old savage wanted to get rid of Ponce
de Leon. He knew enough Of human
nature and Of Spanish nature TO be
aware that gold-and youth-would
prove highly Interesting to the INVADER
That was what Ponce de Leon was ex-
pecting 10 hear-especially h story
Of gold, But the old savage, To make
the gold story all the stronger and to
lure the invader from the island all
the more surely, added the eternal
youth proposition to the story which
the explorer was expecting to hear
and thereby was he successful In rid
ding his island home Of a troublesome
character.

FLOCKMASTER HAS
CONFIDENCE IN wOOLIES
Says Conditions Must Change, and
Shows Faith by Buying
More Sheep.

Talking with one of the prominent
sheepmen of the country in this sec
ton of the state we were privileged
to learn n lesson in real optimism,
says the Miles City Star, Admitting
he was somewhat confused. this sheep
man smiled as we talked about the
prospects in the sheep world and stated
that while conditions seemed to have
gone against the keeper Of flocks of
wool producers, nevertheless, having
on hand forage more than sufficient
to feed his present holdings, he con
templated purchasing another flock of
sheep to feed over the winter.
This. despite the fact that during
the lambing season there was an I'M
usual increase in his flocks he still
calculated hat he had enough feed
to carry Il considerable number of addi-
tional head of animals and proposed
to do so. 1t was just an ordinary con
verSatiOn such as any two persons would
engage in when greeting II visitor to
the city and inquiring after each
others health and commenting on the
trend of the times.
\ careful observer, however, would
note in the course of the conversation
that the basic thought was to continue
in the business in which the visitor
was engaged that of raising sheep,
caring for the increase, shearing the
wool from the flocks, hauling the pro
duct to market and wondering about
mand. There was the economic prob
lem involved in these transactions. A
farmer is just as much concerned in
the cost of production as the merchant
and if that cost is going to exceed the
income and leave no margin Of profit,
the farmer. like his friend the mer-
chant and business man. is going to
trim closer to actual needs and avoid
the losing chance, if possible.
In this instance there was the evil
dence of faith in the future. ana con
fidence that things would right them
selves and give the stockraiser n cnance
for his white alley. This mans attitude
was the unconscious reflection of the
northwestern spirit. Recognizing the
necessity that conditions must change
was not as strongly emphasized as the
expression hat expansion in operations
is justifiable and by purchasing an
other flock of sheep he would he ready
for the new era and have no regrets if
his premonition was not fulfilled. The
sheepmam will have been able to have
carried his flocks through the winter
with plenty of feed on hand now and
by doing so could trust the future to
justify his faith.
We hear 50 much of the theoretical
but here vas an instance of the prac-
teal application of good sense mixed
with faith hat we caught the spirit
of the thing and Q along to our
work with IA better feeling of conf
dence in ourselves M in the future.
