Have you ever stopped to think
what message these eleven simple
little words bring to us? Sir Walter
Scott says, I'VE are no better than
our vilest thoughts" So it is up to
us to improve these little essentials
to life.
Every one thinks. Our thoughts
are our companions. What kind of
company are you in when you are
with yourself? We often guard
ourselves with utmost care when we
choose our friends and companions:
but what are your precautions
against evil thoughts?
George H. Brimhall asks the ques-
ton, How would you like to have
your thoughts printed on a card
board and wear them where every
one can see them? l think this
would be . good plan, as it would
teach US to think only the best of
thoughts. These thoughts, in turn,
lead to actions. Our actions will be
exactly what our thoughts make
them One may be successful TO
act so that others may think they
live a clean, pure life, but, in time,
the outward veneer and polish wears
of, and with it goes the respect of
all, because his thoughts became
actions and they show the kind OF
company he is in when alone.
David Starr Jordan the great
American writer of today, says, in
his little book, 1.-THE Strength of
Being Clean" ito choose at all i'm
plies the choice of the best. In the
long run, only those who choose
the best, survive. The best, each
one has to find out for himself.
Now in our effort to cad pure lives,
we need not go blindly into the
stream called Life" in the effort
to achieve greatness, but we may
profit by the thoughts and actions
of others.
1t isn't necessary for each of us
to place our fingers on the stove to |
find out that it burns; we should
have learned that from others. In
the same way, acts of evil that 9TH
ers do need not be repeated by us
to teach us that they burn our con-
science instead of our fingers and
the burn is so deep that it cannot be
cured.
Actions speak louder than
How true this old saying
is. We often times hear people
say Con Sunday that they believe
The gospel to be true, and on Mon
lay they go on breaking the Word
Of Wisdom, taking the name of the
Lord in vain, and so on; we can
readily see that in time their ac-
ions will overpower their words
md we will cease to believe their
Sunday statement.
1t IL up to us, as people, to set {
Examples to the world first by [
thoughts of an elevating {
nature, and second by putting these
thoughts into practices; thus making 1
ur lives better as we'll as giving
hose who are daily associated with
is a brighter view of life. Only 6
through the very best of thoughts s
nd actions can our lives be made
ure and clean, ready to return to {
be home of our Creator.

HOARDERS

Have you a weakness for boarding any particular article
such as old coins, stamps, fossils, china or picture postasf
In Gallon, Ohio, an auctioneer has been selling an amazing
mess of treasure accumulated by the late eccentric Mrs.
Emma Lee. =,
Her old house, when she died recently, was found packed
to the ceilings from cellar to garnet with a clutter o Il oisnes,
tfnware and thousands of household articles winch she ho
been accommodating and adding to her hoard Tor ~ years.
The house looked like a warehouse for a general store
So much stuff stood about in boxes and barrels, plea III Top
of each other, that the owner had only a narrow lane To-
moving through the rooms. ~
the dump, the auctioneer says it will take weeks to sell WHATS
left.
Older readers will recall that Cassie Chadwick had a SIM
liar weakness for collecting, though she cluttered her nome
with precious articles such as oriental rugs ana porceiains.
The people of Gallon are puzzled to understand whdt
caused Mrs. Lee to hoard such an array OF utenslls ehaS
she never used-for instance, dishes by the thousands.
But she was merely the victim OF an exaggerauon OIL inc
boarding instinct that is in all OF us. The stamp COLLECTOR
is in her class, on a smaller scale.
And Mrs. Lee, in boarding thousands OF utensils, was just
a G sane as the millionaire who boards more money than ne
needs. The rich man can't take his dollars with MIN Wnen
he dies, any more than Mrs. Lee could take her old curiosity
shop.
No doubt. she got as much satisfaction out Of sitting and
contemplating her hoard as the rich man chucklng over
his handbook. She, at least, saved something useful.
The squirrel boards just enough nuts to last him and ms
family through the winter. When he gets sufficient, he quits.
The boarding instinct, peculiarly characteristic OF man, is
found in very few forms Of life. Rats and crows occasionally
hoard articles useless to them. In the Yukon there Is a
mountain rodent known as the Grade rat" which will rob
a cabin of everything it can carry to its nest-and leave, IN
exchange for each stolen article, a twlg or emp OF WOOD. a
prospector up there is apt to return to his nome ana ma IL
rifled, with a pile of chips heaped on the floor IN trade.
The black bear also will plumber a cabin, even taking a
stove to pieces, but he carries each article in a different d-
r~ection-scatters the flour on the ground and the other ar
ticles so far apart and away that the owner would have
to hunt a year to gather his furnishings together again.

HIGH COST OF SCHOOL BUILDING

The Hall avenue school project got another setback last
night when bids were opened by the School Board and it was
found that the very lowest figure, with everything possible eHmi-
mated, was $35,O 900 over the appropriation. But even at that.
Perth Amboy got off fairly well. Other cities that have adver-
tsed for bids for buildings have found the figures even more ex-
sessiye than was the case here. In one place, it was said, no bids
we're received at all.
Building conditions are in a chaotic state in New York. The
building Of schools is particularly hard hit. Wages are going up
50 rapidly that contractors who are under bonds to complete tseir
work are facing ruin. The masons now demand So a day in
addition to pay for a reasonable waiting time" The unions have
agreed to lay thu, situation before the b~ricklayers so that the mat
ter can be presented to the Board of School Estimate who desire
men to rush school buildings to completion. But union officials
say it is difficult to get men who are being paid $14 to $40 a day
on jobs Of speculative builders to 60 to school work paying $12 a
day. Yet the speculative builders bid against each other for men
running wages up, well knowing that they can increase their
selling price as the cost of building goes up, whereas the con-
tractors working on a public school building have to keep within
tie contract figure.
This is what every municipality is up again. After all, labor
must pay rents and taxes and their children need the school
room. So if they insist upon tying up building or running up the
costs, they must take the consequences

hngly beautiful or hideous, or unless
1t has remarkable habits such as
those of the birds described it has
been apt to go u-nappreciated by the
public. Occasionally a rare bird
catches the popular eye by chance
and becomes truly famous. The
great aux, now extinct, somehow at
tracted interest, so that today peo-
pie would unhesitatingly name this
u as the rarest bird specimen a
museum could have. AS a matter of
fact there are specimens ~considerab-
ly rarer than the great aux. The story
is told of a parrot that was imported
to this country back in the sixties,
and bought by a dealer in this city.
The bird attracted no unusual at
tention. Its feathers were dark green
n red, arranged so that the color
effect was queer rather than beau
tiful. No one admired this pet
enough to buy it, and in time it
died, perhaps because it was des-
pendent Y e the worlds lack of ap-
probation.
The dealer saw that it was a rare
specimen, and asked if the National
Museum would care to have another
parrot for exhibition. This started
an inquiry into the birds natural
history, and the discovery was made
that it was a Phillip Island parrot.
At the time it was imported the
bird was not a very rare specimen.
1t was known, however, only on the
one island and since then it has be-
come entirely extinct. One scientist
figures that specimens of the Phillip
Island parrot are now five times as
rare as great auks, since there are 70
or more great auks skins on exhibit
lion, and only II or Is Phillip Island
parrots.
It's right to fame has been estab-
lished, but It has never aroused the
applause or interest of the multitude.
The parrot of u story stands neat
ly stuffed in a case in the National
Museum. A printed card shows it
to be an important specimen worthy
of respectful attention. Yet the az
erage visitor gives it at best q sweep
ing glance and wanders on eagerly to
view the gorgeous birds Of paradise
nearby.
Since shiploads of bird immigrants
are inspected by agricultural spec
ialists, the chances of a rare speei-
men having quite such a tragic ca
reer as this parrot had are slim.
Moreover. even museums resort to
! press agenting their rare exhibits
these days, and a bird that lacks
brilliant plumage or entertaining
ways nay still fire the public mag
nation by the aid of a little skillful
publicity.

Relic
The wooden Indian who used to
stand in front of nearly every to-
bacco shop holding a bundle of ci-
CARS, is vanishing as ali institution
largely because of ordinances a.
gainst obstructing sidewalks.
John Cotton Dana, seeking a
wooden Indian for the Newark Mu-
scum finds there are only five of
them left in New York City.
Another vanishing institution is
the BARRIERS pole, whose red stripes
are inherited from days when bar
beers were ''blood-letters," ancient
form of surgery.
Coincidence
A plank of a schooner, picked up
on the ocean shore at st. John,
N. B., has this message carved on it:
Lost ship and crew, Captain Burns
(me) survives"
After tossing on the Atlantic five
years this plank returned to the
very port from which The schooner
sailed. No wonder sailors are super
stitious. Coincidence, herewith al
most unbelievably illustrated, Is ex-
PLANTATION Of most mysteries.

THE REFEREE
Trotzky
(By Albert Applet

Liebe Br~aunstein, better known
as Leon Trotzky, writes the story
of his life. He became a radical
when he was 16. In all he spent "a
bout five years in Russian prisons.
He adopted the name Trotzky, forg-
ing it on a passport, to escape from
a Siberian penal colony.
Trotzky will be only a years old
on his next birthday, Oct. 26. He
has been the dynamo of the Bolshe-
viks, Lenin the brains. The moral
to be drawn from their lives can
not be written until the daises grow
above them. Trotzky is a hyper
thyroid personality. That's shown
by his hair, a days job for any
barber.
