said: The postage stamp sticks to

1t is the straight and narrow path
that leads to success in anv line.
Concentration of effort is the thing
that counts. The trouble with MANY
old shot-guns is that they scatter too
much. So while they may do a good
deal of shooting, they don't do much
hitting. We have all heard of course
of the man who had too many irons

something definitely in view, and pet
right after it. Someone has said:
This one thing do. 1t is better to
DO one thing and do it we'll than to
undertake many things and not do
any of them well. -
In railroading, the application of
sand to the slippery tracks. enables
the engine to stick to the rails and
pull the load. On other occasions, it
enables the engine to stick to the
rails and hold the load back, and thus

I want to encourage YOU to be
tremendously in earnest. Earnestness
puts the steam into things, and steam
makes things go. Someone has said:
l press towards the mark. In other
words, l bring pressure to bear upon
myself. In other words, crowd my
self into the work of life. In other
words, am tremendously in earnest.
1t is surprising what earnestness har-
messed up with a lot of other good
qualities will accomplish. Life is
good deal like wheelbarrow. You
apply the push, and it goes.
l want to encourage you to refrain
from whining. ,Ehe world likes a
little baby, but it doesn't like big
baby. Surprising the world is out Of
joint at both ends, whining won't help
it any. A stiff upper lip will help
you over many a hard place, and keep
the confidence and respect of those
about you, while a whine will lead
people to think you are a, sissy boy,
and despise you accordingly.
l want to encourage you to avoid
the habit of impatience Impatience
in the life is like friction in the ma

wear out quick, and is constant an
noyance and unhappiness while do
ing so. -
Now in closing, I want to encour-
age you in everything that is good,
the highest ideals and purposes, the
loft1est inspirations and aspirations
of life. II. r.

WOULD "coNVERT" THE JEWS.

Some members Of the Episcopal
board of missions favor the raising OF
a fund of $1,O00,OO0 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be:
coming atheistic.
This move brought quick retort
from many of the rabbis, three OF
whom we quote: -. -.
ATTEMPTS to convert the Jew
have never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple,
land the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith"
Rabbi Stolz said that reports that
the Episcopal Church might be in
duced to appropriate large sums fol
Christianizing the Jew were too ri
diculous to discuss. ~.
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Tenn
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had ever been
and that the American Jew was one
of its greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, great way of econ
verting' the Jews by surrounding the
ghettos and numbering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
hundreds of Jews have professed
Christianity to save the lives of them
selves and families, but all of the Ger
tiicates of baptism were overprinted
in red, '.Not good in case of pogroms

begun a drive for a quarter of a
million members; and, one of the
methods employed to arouse the peo-
pie to a sense of their duty as hui

The increase in burglary can be ac-
counted for by men trying to break

they thought they might find drink.
The increase in vagrancy is pos

EFFECT OF PROHIBITION IN
ST, PAUL.

While THE APPEAL is not an
ardent advocate of Prohibition, it
believes that along some lines, there
has been much reduction in crime
under prohibition laws. .r<%
The research specialist of "The
Board Of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church" has made a report of
what he found, here as follows:
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-03-12

In 1919 the arrests for drunken
ness totaled 49.7 per cent of the
whole number of arrests; in 1920 they
were only % per cent Of the total
number and falling off of 66.1 per
cent of the year before. Two thou
sand two hundred and fv arrests less
in year means less work for the
poice department, less cost in the
police stations and Jail, less suffering
and disgrace to wives and children
and oftimes less men later in the
workhouse and penitentiary. q

be sweeter than the applause Of the

And when the ladies' appeared diff
fident, the only other thing the
youths did was to jump out Of the
car, take the ladies by the arm and
repeat the invitation a trifle more
insistently. Why should any one
resent a kindly act like this, per-
formed by five enterprising young
men toward perfect strangers, just
for the sake Of lieu de vivre' OF Is
it esprit de corps? OF course the
youths had not noticed the hus-
bands Of the young women, who
had been walking q little distance
in the rear. Life is like that.
There was Michael Quinlan too,
Michael of the pink striped pa
jamas. Mrs. Quinlan informed the
police her husband had struck her
with lamp shade and she was
annoyed to the extent of wanting
something done about it. When
the patrolman entered the Quinlan
home for the purpose Of complying
with the lady's request he stopped
dazedly on the Threshold with the
impression that the lamp shade ex-
ploded and a conflagration was on.
Then he saw it was merely Mich
aeTs pajamas, pink striped. Mich
ael liked those pajamas. Indeed, he
declined to change them. So in
pink striped raiment Michael

Saturday.
Edward Chambers, vice president of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
argued for western carriers that mani

not be considered too high since fig
ures developed by L. e. Wettling,
manager Of their traffic bureau,
showed current earnings to be 3.O4

the opinion that the business had
reached bottom but that until buy

Silent Courfship
Lands Tilted Lover
Behind Jail Bars
BY JESSIE HENDERSON
6psclaf cssrsspsndsRt Of Great Fails TfIbuh


Copyright. 1921. The Great Falls Tribune
New York, Dec. 1S.-Perhaps
the peace ON earth has reached
this town. But the good will to-
ward men idea is conspicuously
lacking, il one may judge by the
police records of the past seven
days.
Actually you can be put in Jail
for being in love. It happened to
Harry Anderson. For two years
Harry has been enamored by Miss
Bessie Gutnik, q stenographer.
Bessie couldn't see it, SO Harry
adopted silent courtship" plan.
He did not talk to her, but he
walked with her.
Almost every time Bessie went
out In the past "a months there
was faithful Harry trailing behind
her. When Bessie got good and
tired of this she told policeman
about it. Both the policeman and
magistrate said they did not think
Anderson was an ordinary mash
er" and they felt sorry for him.
But Bessie intimated she had stop
ped feeling sorry over year ago
and Anderson and his lacerated
heart were remanded to the tombs.
1t is dangerous too to go a
marrying" without a wedding ring.
You get arrested for that too. Ed
ward Stafford Of the Bronx was an
impetuous sutton, his courtship
gaining in ardor, according to his
fianced, until it eliminated in
threats to shoot the young lady Of
his choice unless she Immediately
became his bride.
Thus, urged Miss Anna Arctan-
der shyly consented and the happy
pair went to the marriage license
bureau for the preliminary bout.
Here, however, It came to Miss
Arctander's attention that her be-
trothed had neglected to provide a
wedding ring. She had him arrest
ed pouring forth to the magistrate
her tale of threats to shoot. 1t
only proves once more that wom-
an doesn't mind being browbeaten,
but darned if she will stand for
neglect.
And you can get arrested for
making toast. OF course it de-
ponds where you make it. The
man who fell afoul the law and
his wife this week, for making
toast happened to be making it in
the home of the other woman.
Two other cases illustrate how
great a scarcity of good will to-
ward man there is at the moment.
Five youths, ranging in age from
20 to "a languish alone at night in
