Something to Think About
By F. A. WALKER

and advertise to your employers that
you are second-grade man or woman,
incapable of forming judgment without
help from others.
TO observe, reflect and apply ought
to be the high purpose of every man
and woman in the stern battle of life.
Observe as child and keep observ-
Ing until you find the reason why.
If you Will reflect, sift out the chaff
from the wheat, you will in a short
time be qualified to judge The good
from the worthless and pick out the
best every time you are called upon
to make decision.
With this newly acquired ability,
you will know unerringly how to
choose the right course and follow 1t
with strength and assurance.
Instead Of being weak dependent,
wavering, uncertain and timid, you will
srow steadily into strong, bold leader
capable of shouldering great RESPONSE
bilities.
Keep your eyes open, use the mind
given you by the Creator, figure the
value Of everything that has direct
bearing on your work, apply the useful
and you will encounter no real difficult
ties in finding the reason why, or in
piercing the bulls eye of success with
an arrow of your own making.

MARRY "FOR KEEPS"

IF YOU have capital of thousand
= dollars, and only a thousand dol
lars, you are likely to be little par
ticular about investing it.
Yet you invest your capital of hap
piness, which is all you have, and all
you ever will have, on the first pretty
face you happen to see.
The average youth devotes more
care to the selection of suit of
clothes than he does to the selection
of wife.
When his marriage turns out unhap-
PLY, he wonders why he happened to
have hard luck, or cynically observes
that you never can trust woman
About 90 per cent of the labor and
expense of the divorce courts could
be avoided If young men and women
would expend a little serious thought
about the most serious business of
their lives, which is getting married.
Neither men nor women can so
skillfully disguise their true natures
as to deceive anybody who Is really
in earnest about investing his capital
of happiness where it will pay diyi-
dends for all time.
Nobody ever falls so head-over-
ears-in-love at first sight that he hasn't
time to think over the seriousness of
picking wife before he sends for
the best man and engages the minis
ter.
There is no source of unhappiness
In the world SO prolific as marriage,
chiefly because nobody ever appears
to think that 1t should be entered in
any way save by accident.
If the reformers who cry out against
divorce, when 1t is too late, would
spend the same amount Of time and
energy trying to teach people to find
the right kind Of mates, there would
be less divorce, less scandal and more

THE REASON WHY

TN EVERYDAY contact with such

solution in the home or the Office,
adopt process Of reasoning them out
In your own way.
You will find if you steadfastly per-
sist In such a course that you will
soon reach a higher stage Of think
ing, necessary always to higher state
of efficiency.
Accepting some ones say-so with
out giving serious thought to the
answer or inquiring as to- the reason
why, is an unwise thing to do.
In spite of whatever innate clever
ness you may have, If this dependence
on some one else is continued, there
will never come to you an opportunity
to show this ability.
You will form the harmful habit
Of leaning on others instead of stand
Ing alone in your own strength and
trusting unreservedly in self.
Those upon whom you rely for adj
vice will keep ahead of you just as
long as you court their company and
assistance.
By pursuing such a course you adj
NIT incompetence and lack Of force,
which disqualify you for leadership

MOUNTAIN OF SULPHUR

BY looking on map Of the South
seas, one can find the New Hebrides,
about 900 miles east of Queensland,
Australia, and southeast Of the Solo

is an island called vanua Lava. This
island is a mountain, big one, 1000
feet high and covering an area Of 100
square miles. But the remarkable
