FORGET YOUR TROUBLES
Richland County Leader)

This is the time of year when ev
eryone should have more pep thar
ever. The white race owes its adj
vanced stage of civilization to the
fact hat it lives in a region that is
occasionally visited by snow and frost
We sincerely urge all of the people
of Richland county not to hibernate
this winter. If you haul a lot of
coal and crawl into your she'll for the
winter, you will die of discourage
ment. Show action Go visiting a
lot. Organize a literary and study
club in your community. Get every
one t ostir around all you can and for
get their troubles. We do not have
half the troubles the epople are hav-
ing elsewhere. s
Take Nebraska for instance. Re-
Gently 27 banks have gone broke
there. This is not bad. Of course
they are going broke in Montana too
But the worst thing about Nebraska
gone broke there recently. Now,
that is the limit of hard times. When
conditions get so bad rnat newspaper
men are driven out of business the
situation is desp crate. Editors are
used to hard times. 1t is the only
way they live. But they don't know
how to quit the business. They ere
generally so busy telling the world
what a live community they live in
that they come to believe it themsel-
YES and live on their own imitation.
So forget your troubles We are
not in a New York bread line. Make
this winter a time for study, and men
tai and physical activity. Next
spring when you see things growing
again and you see a drove of oil rigs
being shipped into Lambert you will
wish you had not spent a minute
worrying about your troubles.

A MAN AND AN IDEA.
It has been said that an idea is the
greatest thing in the world and it is
not difficult to substantiate the
statement when we contemplate what
a single idea, such as came to John
Boyd Dunlop, has meant to the hui
man race in the way of comfort in
travel and facility in transportation
An exchange says:
News has just come from Dublin
of the death of Dunlop, at the age
of "a. His name is not familiar, but
you would be getting a lot of bumps
in life if it had not been for him.
Dunlop made bicycling popular,
and was the father of comfortable
auto riding, by being the first to ap-
ply the pneumatic tire to the bicycle.
This was in 1888. The air-infiated
tube had been patented in England
in 1843, but As years went by before
Dunlop applied the device to bicycles.
Automobile manufacturers then adj
opted the iddea.
Dunlop did the world a great SER
vice. yet he died almost unknown.
Fame is reserved for the movie star,
artists. arch criminals an dmilitary
heroes.
"Who invented the button? The
safety pin? The knife and fork? The
door lock ? The pencil? The shoe
lace?"
"You use all of these things daily,
with much comfort. AS in the case
of Dunlop, little attention is paid to
the creators of useful, everyday de-
vices.
Culture generations, let us hope,
will be more sensible and will honor
the really great, those who devise use
full things for the world" iIgMI

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
Remember this:
When Abraham Lincoln was a
young man he ran for the legislature
in Illinois and was badly swamped.
He next entered business, failed,
and spent seventeen years of his life
