Ripping Rhymes

Jim Jackson has a brand new bus,
that glitters in the sun, and he's
proud and happy cuss, whene'er he
makes 1t run. And we might make
him gladder feel If we would but be
kind, and hand him out the sort OF
spiel that soothes the voters mind.
Alas, we are not built that way, we're
stingy with such talk, and when we
see neighbor gay, our impulse is to
knock. And so, on slow and dragging
limbs which YEARLY we ply, we push
ourselves to Neighbor Jim's, and try
to make him cry. We view his car
and shake our heads, and look de-
pressed, and say, Its all done up in
blacks and reds, and makes brave
display; but gingerbread and paint
and brass don't make a worthy van;
your car will never cut much grass
the makes an also ran. They say its
pistons are of wood, its springs won't
bear its weight, its generator is no
good, its frame is out of date. You
might have bought, at smaller price,
boat that's better far; had you but
asked for our advice, you'd have a
better car" And so, in our poor fool
ish wayne are but human guys-we
try to spoil our neighbor's day, and
turn his grins to signs. We're always
doing tricks like these, and low down
tricks they are; and Jackson shudders
when he sees the bunch approach his

Modern man, whose origin is lost in the dis
lance of the hundreds of millions of years of the
past, has had many human ancestors. Everyone
has assembled from the savages and the barbar-
ians as well as from civilized progenitors. Con-
sequently each one has inherited all three types
of mentality.
It depends on each one and the thoughts he
thinks as to which type of mind will develop do
minion over the others. If the first, then he is
dominated by his fate. If the second, he is en-
shaved by his environment. If the third and
highest, then he is master of his fate and his
vironment.
Every normal being is responsible for his
choice as he has will and his will is free to make
strong which ever type he chooses.
All parents are responsible to their children,
because their choice will govern their actions and
their example will be in the thoughts of their
children and their blood, heredity will be in the
veins of their offspring, all to handicap to
help. And children must have help until they
are old enough to choose for themselves

Parents Influence on Children's Destiny

Man goes through three stages of thought
when he awakens to the existence of cause and
effect
AS a savage he attributes the fortunate hap
penings to good spirits, the unhappy events to
bad spirits. In modern man this type of mental
ty still persists. 1t is called the primitive mind
and its possessor believes in good luck and bad
luck, or in fate.
The next stage might well be called the bar
barrie. The barbarian, who is higher type in
primitive times than the savage, attributes his
well being or i'll fortune in the main to the acts
of other men. In modern man this barbaric men
tality manifests the same belief, with the addi-
tional conception of environment as also cause
of effects. In other words, fate has become de-
terninism.
The highest type, what might be called the
civilized plane of mentality, that all action
springs from thought, that what we

Nancy remarked quietly, 81 guess I'll
have to win that seat myself" Her
husband was raised to the peerage in
1919 and automatically entered the
house of lords. Then Lady Nancy
made good her threat. Her feat in
winning the seat marked an epoch in
British politics. She was the first
woman to enter either house. Her
victory was counted a brilliant tri-
umph by the feminist leaders.
Her maiden speech in the lower

No. 1e5-The Balancing Pencil
The most experienced juggler would
find difficulty in balancing a pencil on
the tip of his forefnger, and when the
performer announces he can accom-
plish the feat, the spectators viii prob
ably want to see it done"
The trick is accomplished with the
aid of a penknife. The blade OF the
knife is opened half way, and the point
is pushed into the pencil at an angle, the
handle of the knife hanging below the
pencil point. This forms a counter
balance which enables the feat to be
performed without great difficulty.

RADIO MAN HAS FIGHT
 WITH TWO BROWN BEARS


 George w. Gallop, of Missouri, noted bear hunter among the radio men in charge of the wireless station at Soap stone Point across from Cape Spencer holds the record for daring among the navy's men in Alaska. On June 18th while out hunting alone for small game armed with light 250 Savage rifle, he heard a rustic and the sound of heavy bodies tTeading upon the ground and was confronted by two mammoth brown bears which came ambling to- ward him from around a great rock.
 Instead of running or climbing a tree, Gallop aimed quickly at the lead ing bear and fired. The giant fell, as if dead. Without leaving his tracks, Gallop fired at the other bear killing him instantly. The shooting required only few seconds. The first bear, in the meantime, had risen to his feet, standing and was advancing upon the hunter. Gallop fired again, killing the bear which fell dead about thirty feet Times.

WHY BARBER WILL BAN
 GIVING FREE HAiRcUTS

KANSAS CITY: Sol Stibel, a local barber, tells the world that he will never again give another fellow free hair cut, even though his hair be as long as hulahula grass skirt.
 A haircut he gave away a Sunday or so ago, cost Stibel a total of s61-and not in Mex, either.
 He took into his shop a boy who needed haircut and did not have the money, and exercised his clippers for good job
 There is law prohibiting barber shops from operating on Sunday and stbel was fined $40 and s11 costs. On top of that he paid $10 fee to pro- fessional bondsman.
