COUNT YOUR TREASURES
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921, by Frank Crane)

One of the craziest kinks in human nature is that
we appreciate only what we do not have
. Even million dollars only looms up and fills our
horizon while we are trying to get it, as soon as it is
got, it shrinks.
The school-yard-full of lusty children, screaming
and rompng with the overflow of health those sit
ting out in the the south porch of the sanator
ium eating oatmeal
The struggling young actor imagines that to be
famous star would be the greatest thing in the world
and yet if he could go and visit famous star he would
probably find him in his club industriously getting
drunk to relieve his ennu.
The people who wear purple and fine linen and
fare sumptuousy every day. who live in the large brick
house out at the edge of town where is stone dog in
the yard not particularly happy they are it is
bv borrowed sort of happiness which is to say the
happiness which other people think they ought to have
No good things in life are so good those that
just out of reach.
All you have to do to make people want thing is
to make them feel they can not get it.
When you fence off the most inconvenient seats in
the theater, call the place private box and charge
three times as much for it for the good seats down
in front, everybody will want it.
To anybody who is at all clever this ought to sug-
ges the practical short cut to happiness which is to
realize the value of what you do have and not waste
your time over an excessive valuation of what you do
not have.
Most people who have arrived at the land of con-
tentment have gotten there by that way That is to
say they have learned to count their treasures
and have left off considering those of other people,
There is no life so poor that it has not infinite re-
sources. And there no life rich and crowded that
it has not room for spelling envy.
What we need is intelligent selfishness. And the
best recipe for cheerful spirit is to develop own
resources.
Stop, and realize how good air is by just imagn-
ing how it would feel to be smohered how good your
plentiful water supply is by imagining what cup of
water would be worth to you if you dying of thirst
on desert island and how good life itself would
seem to you if you were to be hanged tomorrow
All this is not deceiving yourself, bamboozling
yourself lifting yourself by your bootstraps. 1t
is plain horse sense.
We are, as Ernest Poole brings out in his recent
novel; "Beggars Asleep On Bags Of Gold" If we would
stop whining and look in souls pockets would
discover that we are all mobiles and kings sons.

Cat. and Nation.

We have received from subscriber list of
inquiries which he desires to be answered by The
Republican information Bureau. Obviously there can
be no information these subjects nothing more
than opinion An answer must set forth fact and
not an opinion or a conjecture. Our reader wants
to know:
II the people Of the world want
more, why have it?
Is it not fact that there is one way
and only one to have that come about?
Instead Of so governments calling them
the United States of America, why not have
one president and supreme judge of the
Earth?
There are lots of blessings we cannot have and
lots of evils we cannot abate merely by taking
thought Trials of lifting oneself by his boot straps
have been going on since long before boots were
invented and no human being has lifted him
self the millionth, any other part of inch
Wars have always been abhorrent to the people,
hut the people have not been able to avert them
r. has often been to the interest Of OF the people
though to have wars. Formerly single king could
make a war, but he can do SO no longer Groups
OF statesmen have been able to create wars but that
task has become and more difficult as the
mower Of the people has been increased. We are
hopeful that the difficulty viii increase, but we
are not sangune that win ever be impossible
THE second question relates to lnternatlonailsin
which we do not think would be good thing. 1t
would not be a good thing for our states to be
under one government We are, it is true, under
one government to extent. But there is
government which has been reserved to each state
with which federal government canno~ interfere
Each state government is accommodated to peculiar
conditions within the state. Many of its laws would

II all the states were under one government and

There's a few as smart as Sally,
For it is with consumate art

She has the grace. she has the form

The very pins fall for her

Each frame she plays, within my

She sets the blood to spinning.
What care / if we lose the game?
Her ways are always winning.
No matter what the figures be
Upon the scorers tally.
She makes a perfect score with me
When bowling down our alley.
And whether Sally hits the pins
Or misses them completely,
There's one thin / am certain Of,
She bowls me over neatly;
She's played her game we'll from the

 The old log structure stood on the Whitley farm pear here It was pur- chased by James Soaf and John Hanks, relatives of Lincoln, who exhibited it at the Chicago exposition in 1865.
