Construction and Reconstruction

Days following the Civil War called ''recon-
strucon days. and they typified element of almost
anarchsm in the sections where they symbolca-
the carpetbagged sections Of the south And immediate
ly following late argument the word 'reconstruc-
tom leaped again into prominence
1t was easy to the blame for almost anything
during the war, upon the war With the revival of the
word became easy to cast the blame for all condi
tions upon the word "We in the midst of recon-
struction would hear; and that is terrible, but
the country is reconstrucng'' and, ''We will have to
put up with it, account of the reconstruction" :"
In the application of the word the minds of the
building, but simply and plainly, destruction and confu-
sion Reconstruction and destruction synonomous
have come to regard them.
This is all bunk, to put it in plain Americanese
The offices Of good word have been prosttuted into
thing of visionary terror And when good word falls
into dsrepue is best to drop its and substitute
that plainly and fully conveys the meaning intended
Reconstruction, as we have come to regard the
meaning, is unnecessary in this land But there is a
crying need for CONSTRUCTION, and construction has
simply the building up of necessary element
improving existing condition edifice.
The thought want to get, and the word want
to use is CONSTRUCTION. If there conditions to
rebuild, We will be foolish to down present
and substitute nothing while reconstructing
something else equally unknown
Reconstruction has become synonymous, also, with
CHANGE-not any definite change into element
known to be better but-Oh, well, just a change to
something else Anything!
The trains have been crowded with wanderers, Just
going somewhere where they stayed during little time
and then went other place Hotels crowded
with transents, amless wanderers who were Choking
around.' Questions put to many of these wanderers
brought forth the information that they Choking
for opportunity" and when this was discussed, the
came forth that "ths was one of the evils of
reconstruction days The tone conveyed the same
meaning tho the words had been, ths is of the
terrors of darkest Russia
The right word is CONSTRUCTTON-th upbuild-
ing of already great country into the greatest We
have millions of boys and girls train mastemen
and masterwomen We have millions of acres of land,
lying idle in the land waiting for the touch recama-
tion. There according to the Forest Service, 345-
100000 in this country that should be and be
reforesed There many valleys the southern part
of this state that only the building of reservoirs
to turn them from almost barren tracts into productive
gardens None of these need be RECONSTRUCTED
they there, awaiting the touch of construction
The wealth of a country is in its land and people
By construction of these elements in generation
two, rule the world by virtue of superior wealth
and knowledge. It is necessary reconstruct sim
magic touch of the builder
Let's forget the word RECONSTRUCTION and the
conditions it has to convey to our minds and use
instead, the proper
CONSTRUCTION.

Where Has the Whistler Gone?

Not many years ago. when songs like 81 Annie
Rooney and ''After the Ball, and 'Down Where the
Cotton Blossoms Bloom and many other of the old
favorites favorites, the streets unefu
with whistlng Men and boys worked and thought and
is now one of the first accomplishments that boyhood
prizes.
Where have the whistlers gomez
In the year before the ''crime wave" the 'immor
age' the present days have been termed by some,
were upon us, whstled out of the lightness of
their hearts And of the girls and women whlsted
There old that 'whistlng girls always came
to some bad end,'' but this rank pessimism. The
whistling girl always pretty good feliow-a dare
devil and tomboysh probably but good pal, and
never a sneak
whistling is an outward evidence of earefree
heart No one but fictve creature of imagination
could do crime while whistling. The world becomes
brighter more veabe, the whstling gathers rythm
and strength: blood leaps thu the veins heartwarmng
The puckering of the lips is the first action toward
grin or smile. It's easier to laugh with feowmen,
when lips puckered for whistlng
There a young man who became con-
frned pessimst, and as this pessmism grew upon him,
he dropped into downright Bolshevikismhis tendencies
became red Everything going straight to heangone,
the world rotten his country rottener, and his
town rotenes That is the way pessimism affects
one. The young salesman, and he had for
gotten how to grin; he forgot how to manufacture
constructive thoughts; he the road to failure.
As antidote, he advised to rise in the
ing when the heavy brown darkness of the beginning
day upon him. walk to the mirror in his grin
at himself and whistle He believed in the who
advised and tried the prescription The young man, in
starting the day right, had no place for pessmisc
thoughts.
Optimism is habt-a good habit-and its electric
display board is whistlng. 1t is company for
dark days and thru fearsome journeys How many times
have you kid ghtened the steps of some scary trip,
and peoed darkness around you with protective shapes
by whisting? How many tasks have been lghtened by
the music from your lipsf
Have you forgotten how to whistler Learn again
It's the antidote for grouchiness. When come
dian get the house whistling with him, he is
hit. When you whistle into the teeth of hard
word-that really isn't any harder than it was when
you kid, you top of that world. You grin
at adversely. Tears may relieve the heart but whstling
lifts gloom from the soul Trouble is ransitory;
fly before puckered lips.
Get back TO it. If you have forgotten the accomp-
lshnent allow your boy, girl to teach you. Start the
day with it, for is necessary and prompt in
results, than the toothbrush drill.
A gang of whistling is a mighty good gang; a
world that has not forgotten how to whistle is coming

Whistle and you II grin And nothing very terrible
can happen while you re grinning
