PROSPERITY
By H. Addington Bruce

Commonly ut is supposed that the gauge
of mans prosperity is the extent and splen-
dor of his material possessions. But
A banker and a newspaper editor once
stood side by side in the midst of marvel
Gus rose garden. The editor had not before
seen such an area of roses in bloom. And
they were only one feature of beaut1tut
suburban estate the bankers home
"You are indeed to be congratulated the
editor said to the banker. you ought TO
feel very happy in the thought of owning
such a rose garden, such an estate"
Whereto the banker made answer:
"I don't own them. They own me. They
keep me shaving in the city. They hold me
to my desk by night as by day. They are in
satiab1e in their demands upon me-.
One is reminded of Thoreau's assertion:
"a man is rich in proportion to the num-
Der of things he can afford to let alone"
And:
THE problem of life becomes, one cannot
say by how many degrees, more complicated
as our material wealth is increased, since the
problem is not merely or mainly to get life
for our bodies but to get life for our souls.
In our day and generation it is hard indeed
to appreciate the force Of sayings such az
these. 1t is hard to appreciate that one may
be truly prosperous, may be exceedingly
prosperous, yet devoid of the means Of adding
to ones personal possessions palatial man
sion limousine fine raiment, or any other
outward and visible sign of financial wealth.
But such is the fact. 1t is fact, too,
that the more wealthy one Is financially, ths
harder it is to remain truly prosperous-in
that an augmenting of riches tends to an I'M
povershing of the spiritual possessions, the
delights and enthusiasms and glorious SIM
plicities of thought and feeling on which true
prosperity depends.
Or as sundry proverbs phrase 1t, warning
of the hazards imminent in the pelf prosper
ity so many misidentify with prosperity OF
the only worthwhile sort:
prosperity destroys fools and endangers
the wise.
at is no easy matter to bear prosperity
decently."
prosperity is like tender. mother, but
blind who spoils her children"
"They must be strong legs that can sup
port prosperity"
prosperity is the worst enemy men usu-
ally have"
The wisdom crystallized in these short
sentences is the product, not of one mans
thinking, but Of the human experience Of
centuries. Yet how difficult it is eveN now
to convince humans of its wisdom, 70 dis
suade them from pursuit of the material, to
persuade them to "a questing for the riches of
the mind and of the spirit constituting the
prosperity that alone merits the name.
Some day better situation may obtain.
Some day it may be accounted sign not
Of normalty, but of abnormality to strive
for prosperity of the dollar brand. Some
day the striving may almost universally be
for the intangible prosperity lauded by seers
and philosophers through all the ages.
Very different then would mans existence
be-and infinitely happier

An Irishman who was out Of work went
on board a vessel that was in the harbor and
asked the captain if he could put him to
work.
+ well" said the captain, at the same time
handing the Irtshman a piece of rope, 'if
you can find three ends to that rope you
shall have some work"
The Irishman took hold of one end of the
rope, and, showing it to the captain, said:
That's one end, your honor" Then he took
hold of the other end, and showing it to the
captain as before, said: And that's two
ends, your honor" Then, taking hold OF
both ends of the rope, he threw it overheard,
saying: And faith there's another end to
it, your honor"
He was engaged.

Turner County Puts 1T Over

EORGIANS all should be proud OF the
i leading article in this weeks Country
Gentleman, Turner County Puts 1t
Over" No better tale was ever told of cour-
age and resourcefulness, no happier example
ever held up for builders Of common
wealth.
Look first upon this picture: Turner
county was down, and almost out If a gen
eral liquidation had been called for, few
would have escaped bankruptcy. The small
farmers and tenants-and over three-quar-
ters of the county's farmers were tenants
were deep in debt to large landowners and
credit merchants The latter in turn oweO
the banks, some of them so heavily that
they had to turn over their property to be
held in trust until some sort of settlement
could be worked out The banks were hav-
ing troubles of their own, as banks always
do when a community threatens to go in
solvent. One of the familiar disasters that
invariably overtakes one-crop farming COM
munities had occurred. Turner county, only
little more than a generation removed
from standing timber, had developed no 9th
er important industry than agriculture. This
It conferred around cotton, financed by the
usual credit system. Then came the boil
weevil, and little later the collapse of cot
ton prices under pressure of deflation. In
a year the cotton production was more than
cut in half, with the price CUE to quarter
of what it had been. The double blow left
business PROSTATE in the county, left It's
people with virtually nothing except cour-
age"
So matters stood in the cloudy dawn of
1921. But what of today? At Ashburn,
TURNER'S county seat, runs creamery, one
of the largest three in the South, which is
producing butter at the rate of some twenty
five hundred pounds day, and paying cash
Ito the farmers at the rate of thirty-thousand
dollars a month. From Ashburn. too, is
shipped an average of two thousand dozen
eggs week and two thousand pounds of
dressed poultry, in addition to large monthly
shipments of liveweight poultry. Moreover,
.twenty-four carloads of hogs were exported
from the county last year, and more than
that during the first half Of the current
twelvemonth. The COW, the hen the hog
prosperity's trio!
Into this new picture crowd, what cheer
full scenes and striking figures!-meadows
with herds of royal breed and udder-brim-
ming wealth; fields, no longer enserfed to
cotton, but producing foodstuffs as well, in
diversity and abundance; farm doors where
once the wintry mortgage wolf sat bowling,
now open to the sun and to breath of garden
flowers; merchants and bankers joined with
their country neighbors in liberal co-work-
ing for the general good; children skipping
away to bettered schools along improved
roads; women to whom life now comes with

A newly-made peer insisted on his head

MrS.A.P. Gardner'S
Wedding Causes
Surprise

F the element of surprise con-
: tributes to the interest of q
u wedding announcement-and
undoubtedly it does-then the
news of the marriage of Mrs.
Constance Lodge Gardner, daugh-
ter of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, and Brig. Gen. Clarence
Williams, u. s. A, which took
place on Saturday, was the most
interesting which has broken"
in Washington in many moons.
Had one read 1.-The marriage is
announced of Mrs Constance
Gardner Minot, granddaughter Of
Senator Lodge" the surprise
might not have been so great, for
Mrs. Minot is one of the most
popular young women in society
and has scores of beaux. But her
mother, Well, it was bit
startling.
Not that Mrs. Gardner, now
Mrs. Williams, is not an exceed
ingly attractive woman. But she
is so reserved and so conservative
and has lived so quietly since her
husbands death that somehow
one never connected the idea OF
q second marriage with her. And
she and General Williams had
taken only their most intimate
friends into their confidence.
The marriage. however, is one
of those eminently satisfactory
anad suitable matches. General
Williams is distinguished SOL
der, who served as chief of ord
nance with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces during the war
and before that was assistant
chief of ordnance on duty at
Washington. His bride is the
widow of Congressman Augustus
p Gardner, of Massachusetts,
who resigned from the House
after distinguished service to go
into the army when the United
States entered the war and served
with the rank of major. He sue
cumbed to the influenza epidemic
in 1918.
Since her husbands death Mrs.
Gardner has maintained an apart
ment in Washington, but her ac-
tivities have been rather philan-
thropic than social, although she
has occasionally filled the role of
hostess for her father.
The wedding of Mrs. Gardner
and General William took place
on Saturday in st. Johns Church,
the rector, the Rev. DR.. Robert
Johnston officiating, and only
members of the immediate fami-
lies were present General and
Mrs. Williams will live in Wash
ington.
