The first act of the first animal life
 may have been reaching out for food. The low1fest creatures are
 merely stomachs, all stomach, and not merely built about a stomach as man is. The Third District Repub- ican club met last night, to mourn the absence of certain members. of whom 1t was said that Mayor Atwater has given them jobs. For Howard C. Smith, also missing, who once was fertile source of jobs, a sincere sor- row was expressed. There is a. grat- ftude of the stomach no less than of the heart Stomach gratitude is often the deeper.
 Agitation is a wind which brings rereshment and stimulation. Bridge port school system, after many years, Is on the public mind.

Change is regarded with suspicion
 Charles Garland, who says he will give up million. has gone back to nature He lives mainly on vege- tables in a rural Massachusetts town. without his wife. Lillian, and his child. The child he says. shall make no difference. He wants the love ''that only gives because it wants to give" This Is the common kind of love. It is the love of the bees and 1 the birds and of every bug that flies, This is the love of the pr1meval ooze. | The love of the spirit, which is the love of a. civilization founded on reli- zion, knows duty as well desire. | and grows the greater when for beetles and bats there would be no reason for love at all.
 In the old days the boy heroes of the boy books usually got start in life by packtng up & pin. Cincinnati has another hero, a clerk who has picked up so many bits of twtne which he has tied together, that they make e. ball weighing, hundred pounds, and worth about SIS, if there were anybody willing to use fwine with a. knot in 1t every few inches. Man is the costly thing in civilization. Things, are often so cheap, it doesn't pay to use mans time to save them. Thrift must be sought. It must be & wise thrift, else it will be waste.
