! Dear Readers; Fear is the bugbe of this country. It is the result of thinking fear thoughts. When you are afraid of something. you send messengers out in all directions as surely as the wireless carries its codes.
 If we fear this or that we shall surely say with Job. That thing which I have feared has come upon me-
 Suppose you look at 1t in this light-either you rule fear or fear rules. Which shall 1t be?
 A constant watch should be put upon your thoughts so that you will not allow fear thoughts to start or, should they start you nay be able to stop them through the substitu- ton of thoughts of courage.
 Very truly yours,

TO A BRITISHER

Mr.. A. V.-Your brief article, referring
to my use of the phrase, "We Won the
War;" was read with interest. Yours is
the attitude of the far-minded Britisher
and trust that mine is that of an equally
fair-minded American.
England and America both played i'm
portant parts in winning the war and in
justice, each should be given credit. l
knew the Tommy on leave and as fight
ing man and have the utmost respect for
HIM and boast Hibernian extraction. For
nor have you, perhaps, great regard for
the boastful Yank.
There is a deplorable tendency to accept
the opinions of individuals on each side as
that of the nation they represent, and |
grant that the American was as much at
fault as the Tommy. Slanderous remarks,
attributed to persons of standing have
emanated on both sides of the water. AS
regards Kipling's remarks you may have
noticed that I said "alleged remarks" for
having been a newspaper man know that
such statements are not always based upon
facts.
If the time arrives when America can
say, "Wc won the Victory and Peace for
the World" let it not be made in the form
of boast. thank you.

LIFE
Contributed by Mr.. E. d. S.
(Author unkn0zvn)

"Man comes into this world without his
consent and leaves it against his will.
During his stay on earth his time is spent
in one continuous round of contraries and
misunderstanding by the balance of the
species.
In his infancy he is an angel; in his
boyhood he is devil; in his manhood
he is everything from lizard up; in his
duties he is fool; if he raises family
he is a chump; if he raises a check he is
a thief; and then the world raises the
devil with him. If he is poor man he
is poor manager and has no sense; if he
is rich he is dishonest but considered
smart; if he is in politics you can't place
him as he is an undesirable citizen. If
he goes to church he is hypocrite; if he
stays away he is sinner and in disgrace;
if he donates to foreign missions he does
it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy
and tightwad.
When he first comes into this world
everybody wants to kiss him; before he
goes out they all want to kick him. If
he dies young there was a great future
before him; if he lives to ripe old age
he is simply in the way and living to save
funeral expenses.
This life is funny road, but we all
like to travel it just the same.
