DEMAND BEST ONE CAN GIVE
Practically Nothing That Is Worth
Having Can Be Attained With.
out the Greatest Effort.

1t Is easy to sit and watch others
work. But we know of no employer
who will pay you wages for doing IL,
unless you know how to do the work
yourself, and are working hard at the
Job of supervising it.
1t Is easy to travel about the world
on steamships and paror cars, very
pleasant and profitable to the man
with an inquiring mind. But that is
vacation occupation, and unless you
have earned the money to do 1t by
hard work you will get little out of it.
1t is easiest of all to feel sorry for
yourself, and to think that you haven't
had a fair' chance in life, and that
you'd have been a big success If y9u
hadn't met with so much injustice and
bad treatment. But that will get you
only unhappiness, which Is the least
desirable thing in all the world.
There are many things in life that
are well worth doing, but none of them
are easy.
The first-class fiction writer takes
delight In his job, but he also works
at it harder than any man who is not
a first-class fiction writer or ever
dreams Of doing.
The great tenor, like Caruso, finds
pleasure In his job, and incidentally in
the money he gets from 1t. But he
works about six or seven hours day
at 1t now, and In earlier life he worked
ten or twelve hours, receiving far less
pay for exactly as good music.
If good Jobs were to be had by little
effort practically everybody would
have a good Job. The reason that they
are so few, and that SO many Of those
few are not filed, is that all Of them
demanded the hardest kind Of hard
work, not only to get but to keep
them.
Genius, which is said to know how
to do things before 1t Is born, has to
work just as hard as mediocrity to
gain and keep success. Nothing you
can think Of that brings real rewards
can be accomplished without more
work than most of us can contemplate
without getting tired at the mere
thought Of it. Yet people are doing
it right along, and you seldom hear OF
any of them killing themselves in the
effort.
If you have made up your mind to
do something unusual or to be some
body Of Importance learn how to work
twice as hard as you ever did before.
That is only first step. The second
is to think hard. If you can do both,
and keep them up long enough. you
may land, but remember you will have
a lot Of competition. Even hard work
finds plenty of men to believe In and
practice 1t.
And most of them get what they arr
after.-New York Tribune

poos Trained to smussle.

The Franco-Belgian frontier has
long been happy hunting ground OF
the smuggler, both amateur and pro-
fessional. In the customs museum
at Lille is collection Of exhibits which
give vivid idea of the tricks en-
ployed by smugglers.
There are chairs, brushes, pitch
forks, masons' hods, widows mourn
ing bonnets, wheelbarrows, saws and
boots, all followed out for slowing
away tobacco. There are stacks OF
government papers concealed In a zinc
tobacco receptacle, hollow roulette
wheels in which coffee was struggled,
and workmen's drinking cans with only
a few inches of liquor In little vessel
beneath the cork, the rest Of the can
being intended for tobacco.
There are numerous examples OF
spiked armor. spiked collars and har
ness furnished with number Of SHARP
spears, worn by the dogs trained tt
dash across from Belgium at night
and thus protected against the Gus
toms dogs trained to chase them.

Equals Twenty Tunnels.

The two enormous masonry-faced
steel towers supporting the contem-
plated bridge connecting Manhattan
with Jersey City will each of them be
$40 feet high, or AZ feet taller than
the WOolworth building.
The upper deck Of the bridge, over
which will flow all the automobile and
motortruck traffic, will accommodate
as many moving vehicles as ten two
track tubes such as the pair soon to be
built under the Hudson river at Canal
street. at a cost of $150.OOO,OOO.
The lower deck will carry ten rail-
road tracks.
The bridge is expected to cost $11O,-
100000. Tunnels under the river,
equivalent to the bridge in traffic ca
pacity, would, 1t Is estimated, cost two
and half times as much. Not fewer
than 20 of them would be required.

Cat Mothers Rabbit.

An interesting case of adoption has
occurred on a farm in the humble dis
trict of East Lothian, Scotland. A
cat. whose kittens had been given
away as they were old enough to be
removed from the mother, has adopt
ed a young wild RABBIT. which she
tends and nurses with great care and
affection. The cat was in the habit
of killing and bringing in young rab-
bits to feed its kittens, and 1t is re
markable that she now should show
maternal affection towards an animal
which hitherto she has regarded a.

MOscOw.-FOod shortage and power
ty in Russia has coated a new type of
people-the spectators, as the Rus
slams call them. One finds them in
great numbers at the Smolensky Ri
mock (market), but also at every street
corner. A certain proportion of them
are professionals, but the greatest have
become peddlers or street traffickers
during and since the revolution. They
come from all stations of life, and one
often comes across a duchess, coun-
tess, not to speak Of baroness, who is
quite an ordinary figure within this
line.
1t is usually happens this way: A
housewife, worn out by the sorrows
Of daily life, moneyless and hungry,
collects all her courage and goes to the
market to sell some odd article of her
probably former luxurious household.
She stands in line in the market for
hours and, if she has luck, finds buy
er for her stuff who either is Just In
need Of such an article or scents
bargain.
The seller, happy to have some
money to keep her going and glad to
escape what she still considers
humiliation, promises herself never
again will she go there. She don't un-
II the money is gone. This time she
rasise her price bit, witted by ex-
perience. So 1t goes on until she has
perhaps nothing more to sell. By this
time she has lost all false shame and
starts specializing by buying articles
from her less courageous neigfbOrs and
selling them at profit, thus making
an otherwise unbearable life somewhat
easier.
I met many women on whose faces
were written better days who had es-
tablished regular booths displaying all
kinds of odd articles. The market goes
on daily from 8 a. m. until 6 p. m.
l had hard time to get away with
my own camera, which at least dOz-
en- persons insisted in buying from me.
"SkolkO?" chow much) they asked,
taking hold Of the camera dangling
from my arm, and were utterly aston
ished when they heard the camera was
not for sale.
Since the reintroduction Of free
trade, enterprising youngsters have
taken to the flower trade. If you ride
a drosky-especially with a female
compartment is next to impossible to
get rid of them unless you decide to
use hard words.
Money can buy everything today in
Russia, just as everywhere else in the
world. With the exception of booze,
perhaps, here is hardly an article which
one would not find either at the mar
kets or in the 1000 newly opened shops
in Moscow, be it French perfume or a
toothbrush, silk stocking or smok
ing jacket, safety razor or American
condensed milk. l saw many pair of
brown army shoes with the United
States stamped in the soles. There
also were samples of genuine Ameri-
can underwear, trench coats and many
other articles familiar to an American.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Since the truth is best, we had ra
Their inquire than argue. There is
nothing gained in arguing to prove a
point after the manner of the district
attorneys. Argue to ascertain the
truth. When we present our views it
should be to draw the other fellows
fire in opposition and from the out
come to reach the conclusion Of COM
mon sense. We gain more when we
lose an argument than when we win
one, because when we lose we learn
something, while when we win we
only add to our vanity, which is al
ways more than sufficient for our own
good. Entering into an argument
with our wits is like going to the
grain field with scythe-a waste of
time If we don't gather the grain we
seek and need.

Got WRONG ''C|RL"
One Occasion When Monarch's
Plans Went Wrong.
Might Be Difference Of Opinion az to
Whether Joke Was on Frederick
or the Corporal.

Those who read history with an
eye to the humorous as well as the
impressive, sometimes stumble upon
funny and witty happenings in which
the great were forced by humble be-
ings or by circumstance to play lu-
dicrous parts, writes Mark Stuyvesant
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
following incident seems as though 1t
had been designed to swamp with
laughter the carefully carried-out and
often cruel plans of Frederick William
]. Of Prussia to have corps of giant
soldiers.
1t is said that Frederick's agents
searched the world for giants. Hag-
gard, to whom we are indebted for this
information, tells us that Frederick
paid an Irish giant, who was feet
high, the sum Of $500 to enlist,
veritable fortune in those days.
But Frederick, who was miserly,
disliked to pay such sums even to
achieve his ambition for an army Of
giants. He determined to breed giants
as we'll as to buy them. Whenever he
found tall young woman he had her
married to one Of his tallest soldiers.
No thought Of the desires Of either
was permitted to stand in the way Of
his ambition. Sometimes Frederick
resorted to trickery to bring about his
wish.
One day when Frederick was riding
in forest, he came upon a beautiful
girl about 6 feet in height. She did
not know the king by sight. This
Frederick realized when he stopped
to talk with her. He well knew the
girl could not read, for very few wom-
en- Of his day, even Of the highest
rank, possessed this accomplishment.
So Frederick asked the girl II she
would like to earn a thaler or two
by carrying a note to the commander
Of a nearby fortress. She said she
would like to have the money. So
Frederick wrote note. It read:
Instantly have the bearer of this
married to Corp. Fritz Of the Gren-
adiers."
The unsuspecting girl took the note
and left the king, who continued his
way In the opposite direction. Sud
denly the girl realized that If she did
the errand she would be late to an ap-
pointment with her lover. So she hur-
ried to the hut of withered old
woman, gave her half the kings money
and the note to deliver. Then this
beautiful, stately girl hurried away
to meet the man she loved.
When Frederick rode into the for
tress that evening, he commanded the
woman who had borne the note to be
brought before him with her husband.
Imagine the shock to the king when
he saw the withered old woman, who
had been married to the corporal
Needless to say, the story did not
remain a secret in the fortress. 1t
ran the length and breadth Of Prussia
and other nations also laughed.

THE UNDERSIGNED

A travelling salesman visited a
small town and sold the proprietor
of its general store some merchan-
disc. When the goods arrived they
were not as represented and the mer-
chant consequently returned them.
The wholesale house attempted to
collect the bill and drew a sight
draft on the merchant through the
local bank, which returned the
check unhonored. The house wrote
the postmaster about the financial
standing of the merchant and the
postmaster laconically replied with
an o. X. By return mail the house
requested the postmaster to secure
a lawyer to collect the amount and
received the following reply:
"The undersigned is the merchant
on whom you attempted to palm off
your worthless goods. The under
signed is the president and owner of
the bank to which you sent your
sight draft. The undersigned is the
postmaster to whom you wrote and
the undersigned is the lawyer whose
services you sought to obtain for
your nefarious business. If the IN
dersigned were not also the preach
er of the church of this place he
would tell you to go to hell."-Ex.

Uncommon Sense
BY JOHN BLAKE

sign which reads:

The automobiles who has good sense
and good brakes needs the warning. He
gets around the turn without anything

The speed maniac, or the man whose
brakes are out of order, keeps right

both in the accident columns of the
newspapers, sooner or later.
The road we all must take is pretty
well marked with warnings, although
it takes experience to read some of
them.
I If we have the brake called will
power, and keep it in trim, we have
nothing to fear from the dangerous
places.
If our judgment is bad and our will
power likely to give way we never get
where we are going, except in a very
badly damaged condition.
There is no occasion for such great
hurry that the warning signs must be
over run.
On the road to wealth, and espe-
cially the road to pleasure, the warn
ings are very abundant.

the usual disastrous results.

1t is delightful to speed along the

But many s~peeders who do not see

they are going at all.
And when they are piled up in the
hospital or the sn~aitarium or told by a
grave-faced doctor to bid their families
a last farewell, they begin to see the
sense in %stringing these signs along the

A PRICE PARADOX

Apologists for the low prices of
agricultural products have given as
a cause a 'lack of foreign demand, .
but that excuse is discarded since
official reports show a steadily in
creasing volume of grain exports.
That>under the law of supply and de-
mand prices should be higher rather
than lower makes it necessary to
seek some explanation.
The United States Department of
Agriculture estimates the domestic
need at six bushels per capita of pop
ulation, or $50, DOC, 900 bushels. TAX
ing this from the estimated crop for
this season, leaves a surplus of 49,
00O, 200 bushels for export. During
July, August and September exports
aggregated 127,00O,000, leaving a
deficit in home needs to be filled by
importation, without considering the
shipments of other months. Under
these conditions the prediction is
made that, sowing to the wheat
shortage, bread will be high"
And yet the farmer a obtain for
his grain but half the price he was
able to secure only two years ago, a
price paradox that merits his earnest
study and personal action, for once
the cause is found, he has the power
to effect a cure.-Dearborn llnde-
nda

present date there has been a steady
growth.
"The return of farmers to this
section of the state was undoubtedly
caused by improved financial condi-
tons as well as one or two good
crops produced by the farmers who
had remained. This was sufficient
evidence to convince others to re-
turn to this region and again take
up agriculture. In a general way
we wish to say that the western part
of the state has been very prosper
ous.'
The Williston Herald comes out
with a new style of head letters,

q NOTES FROM THE MISSION z
q q & z g q q z e z

School work began for 1922 or
Monday, Jan. 9, when over thirty
children reported. The day pupils
Blacktails, Sylvia Campbell, Annie
Hancock and Florence Ironstar were
the first in their places. Several
faces are missing, but others have
come to fill the vacancies. The jun
ior room had 27 present and the Sc
Nor room II present the second
day. Though all were for va
cation, all seem happy to return and
now AZ are in their places.
Christmas vacation of two weeks
passed very quickly and very busily.
We were all very, very thankful
that our scare over a case of diph-
iberia, which developed shortly be-
fore Christmas, was no more serions
than it was. Precautions were taken
Immediately to prevent the spread of
the disease by having %antitoxine adj
ministered, and the child quarantine
ed over the old house. After all the
other children were likewise treated
with the antitoxine we were allowed
to go on with our closing exercises
as planned, though without the usu-
al publicity. Our Christmas tree
was the prettiest we have even had
and splendidly loaded while the
church was prettily decorated with
large Santa Clauses and bells. After
the exercises the children all went
home.
The Indian church held their
Christmas tree exercises Friday we
ming, when a good program Yves pre-
sented to a large and appreciative
audience.
The annual New Years dinner at
the Mission, at which % sat dawn,
was held January 2. Everyone en-
tered most heartily into the stunt,
after dinner, Of trying to close"
themselves in this rambling build
ing, running from top to bottom,
from >corner to corner, finding di-
rections leading elsewhere, until they
were finally led to gifts, hidden away
for each one. The guests included
