@\Ddily Poem


Listen, old top; I'm slippin' you
the dope.
You talk too much; you always
chin about
The things you think and do and
like and hope,
You never pause to listen and find
out
What other people think; you spill
your chatter
And never know what wisdom you
are missin',
The pearls of thought that other
people scatter;
Listenl
I'm not denyin' that your talk is
good:
You got a line of first-class con-
versation,
You make your own opinions under
stood
But that's not how a guy gets ed
ucation;
Hearin' folks talk is something like
a school,
You'll learn some things that cause
your lamps to glisten,
And gain a lot of common sense, If
you'll
Listen.
The trouble is that nearly all OF
US
Are so conceited with our point of
view
That when there's any subject to
discuss
We talk and talk, and eve listen
to
The other fellows arguments: and so
I'm tellin' you, in such a case as
this'un,
Just bark TO me. I'll put you right;

PATERNITY
BY DIR. w. Z. BARTON

comes into America is not that
which, walks down the gang-plank
on it's own feet. but that which the
good angels bend down and drop
into the cradles of the land.
More important to our civiliza-
ton than the locomotive or the au-
tomobile is the baby carriage.
Homes are being established. The
home market must continue to be
our first reliance for prosperity.
Europe has suffered a loss in its
man-power not only or chiefly In
productive industry, but in poten-
tial fatherhood.
America still has a large contract
of cradle-rocking; and the nation
that rocks the cradle is the nation
that rules the world.
Keep the home fires burning
There are happy brides for whom
they may be kindled. and there are
strong, husky young men to saw
the wood. =.
Americas potential paternity Is
the basis of her prosperity.

Where Spirits Take q Plunge
Though on the whole as savage
as any people in the world, the
Papuans are o devoid of good
traits. Some of the tribes have a
passion for cleanliness and believe
that the spirits of their departed
tribesmen love to battle. They
therefore carefully construct paths
leading from each grave to the sea.
Some OF the communities near the
northeast coast are literally villages

with streets sanded and planted

center are little 'plazas' or 'palaver

These are paved with fiat stones be-
side which are erected stone pillars

The animal life Of New Guinea,
like that of Australia, is queer to
western eyes and represents the
fauna of ancient geological ages.
With the exception of the pig which
was probably introduced from Asia,
all the beasts are either marsupials

else lay eggs like birds. But in the
number and beauty of it's birds New
Guinea surpasses many other por-
tons of the earth's surface. 1t is the

Modern society is calling as never

And where shall such men be
sought, where shall they be bred, IL

where are gathered all hat history,

will only slowly assert themselves

To the young student just enter
ing upon his college cours there is
offered as literally before an
opportunity to train himself to play
a crucial part in the worlds work.
Social and political ideals are in
ferment. moral and religious tradi-
tions are under unprecedented strain,
commercial and industrial relations
are experiencing almost revolution

Surely never has the call for indie
