Looking On the Bright Side.

Such people make me sick and
tired, always complaining, always
knocking, never boosting" It was
Uncle Ted talking more or less to
himself as he sat in big rocker on
the front porch, gazing into space.
What's the matter, Uncle Ted?
called Ruth from the front room
where she had her whole doll family
spread out on the floor.
"oh! Nothing much, Ruth. l was
Just thinking out loud about the peo-
lple who are always talking hard
times but who are never willing to
exert themselves to help keep the
hard times away. vt is the same old
story about needing little more sun
shine and less clouds in the world"
Tell us that story, please, Uncle
Ted" said Jack who was sitting on the
porch rail putting tape on the handle
OF his tennlS racket
All right, Riddles, l will, because
We sure need to think about 1t. Here
Ruth, you can sit on my lap this time
and Jack you sit down there on that
pillow. There, that's fine. - Once
upon a time there was a big country
that had grown very fast and made
lots of money. Older countries were
very jealous but 1t did them no good
for the new country was made up Of
people from all over the world who
went there to be free and live their
lives as they saw fit. There were
wars now and then, as there always
will be so long as human beings are
human"
"But Uncle Ted, won't there be some
way to help stop them?' asked Ruth.
"Now Ruth, you are stopping the
story. President Harding has called
a big conference, as I have told you
before to be held in Washngtn to try
to cut down the big armies and ma
vies. That is real start. The rest
remains for time to tell. But to go on
with the story. The people had to pay
for these wars, Of course. Some years
were not so good as others. Some
years the crops were bad and there
was not enough for everyone. which
made the cost Of food very high.
Sometimes taxes grew higher in Or
der to pay the cost of armies and ma
vies and war, but always the country
grew. No matter how bad things
looked; no matter haw many people
were out of work for time, things al
ways came out well in the end, and
the men at the head of that great
country kept faith with God and their
people, and the sun would come up in

the morning instead Of a sky Of blacl
clouds.
Riddles, that country is the United
States Of America and we have gone
through a terrible war and lost many
splendid men. 1t has cost millions Of
dollars but not one inch Of our soil
has been invaded by the enemy. We
must be taxed heavily in order the
more quickly to pay for 1t, but is not
that easier than the condition that
confronts the people Of France and
Belgium who awoke from the war, not
only to find their very homes In ruins
- everything they held dear In the
world wiped out. Yes, we are facing
serious times in the United States but
no more serious than they have been
for two years or more. What we need
is more sunshine and hard work and
faith to come out on top as we always
have in the past,
"The pessimlst and crouch says:
''Oh hard times are coming No, child
rem, hard times are not coming. It is
simply SOFT TIMES GOING. Presi-
dent Harding, Congress and every
member Of the, cabinet are working
night and day to put their government
back on its feet. To put II back to-a
country under the Constitution - a
Government by law and an America

in the world as the best there is. Look

nsighbor you know business Il not
only better but that the year 1891 VIII

There are several reasons WHY
hard times are not coming. Money "a
cheaper than 1t has been for months
and there is less demand for capital.
The prices Of commodities have come
down and labor costs are automatic
ally reducing. 1t Is costing less now
to run our railroads and public -udl-
tiles. But one big factor that Is still
more encouraging is the fact that the
1921 food crop win not only be good
but It looks like q record breaker year
Z in several sections"
i 1T is Just as President Harding
said when speaking to a group Of New
Hampshire people while on his vaca-
ton.

would want to live! If we would
think more that way, we would soon
discover that we would be helping

country. We need more boosters, more

1t by themselves. They are working |

BOYS PLAN EXHIBITION
TO AID BANKRUPT TEAM

"Hey. Peg" called Shock Wise,
as he ran down the high school
steps one evening, 81 want to ask
you something"
Now to Peg Huston it was moth
ing new to be asked about things.
1t seemed to her that someone was
always asking about this of that.
She often wished the boys would
ask her for dates instead How
ever she answered Shock with an,
"All right, Shock, what is it,"
peg, the basketball team is out
of luck. We haven't enough money
to rent the floor for our next game
l wonder if the fellows and girls
of our class can't get together and
have carnival of some kind and
raise some cash"
THAT sounds like dandy plan.
Shock. l didn't know the teams
money was so low. But there's no
reason why We can't raise 1t our
selves"
Bill and l were talking it over
this morning and we about decided
we'd put on some gym stunts. Then
Witty, Tub. Buck and I'll have
some boxing matches. You get the
girls aut and We'll make it CO."
why not let us gidls make some
candy and popcorn and sell it?
How much money do you need to
finish out the season."
ooh, about $50 will pull us
through, l guess" answered Shock.
But say, don't let's have any can
dy. We don't want the downtown
fellows to think this is pink tea,
you know. You girls just get to-
gether and come and get the girls
in the other classes to come and
we fellowsll will put the thing
across all right"
"All right. Shock. I'll see what l
can get out of the girls" said Peg,
as she turned into the Huston
driveway.
