Something to
Think AbOHt
DO NOT LOSE HOPE
By f. II. WALKER


FREQUENTLY, when the days
\ seem. darkest and troubles roll
in upon you like the storrning waves
of the sea, trying their best 10 over
whelnl yen, sunny-faced Hope is hover
ing near ready 10 rescue you ut your
bidding.
Thousands of weary souls on the
threshold OF encouragement, about to
yield TO the crushing weight of their
burdens, have at the last moment res
olutely resolved to stand up and make
new fight.
This resolution is perhaps the most
trying hour of their lives, marking
the turning point in their careers.
They found new courage which
carried them on and on, carrying them
safely through their hardest battles,
where they fought inch by inch until
the shout of victory stirred their
hearts, warmed their blood and cleared
their vision.
From doubling Thomases they be-
came sanguine Pauls, filed with the
spirit of faith.
They saw new visions and dreamed
new dreams. sab 8
They had strength OF, their own in
stead of that borrowed from others.
which through adversely they soon
learned how to use TO advantage.
Such are the men ana women who
today are making aBetter world for
all mankind. bro lpesai
There is nothing too big for them to
undertake, no load too heavy for them
to carry, no troublesome hills over
which they cannot blaze an easy path
for the less confident to follow.
Leaders in their chosen fields of
labor, they take part in the boldest
and noblest adventures, never growing
weary of well-doing, never faltering
by the wayside never declining to
lend a helping hand to the earnest,
struggling in their first effort.
They think, plan, organize, achieve
and create, while those without hope,
hesitate, draw back, afraid to step up
in the clearer, invigorating air and
wage the battle with alert brains, hard,
sinewy arms, and hearts unafraid.
They turn stubborn difficulties into
willing servants, surmount impending
obstacles, write their names on the
eternal skies, and call Justify to the
new generations to grid their armor,
accept Hope as their captain until the
end of their days.

Not bright picture.
What has already been accomplished
In the matter OF useful legislation TO
help the farmer has been achieved
through cooperation and organized
pressure. The farmer is entitled TO at
least fair part of the price paid for
his product by the consumer. Mary
land win have a session OF its Legis-
lature about a year from now. The
farmers have a whole year in which
to get together to settle upon such
legislation as they may need. And by
getting together they can get what
they need in the way OF terminal mar
keis, roads. selling and educational
agencies.
Much can be done. Farmers must
subject their individualism for the COM
mon good and in that way get the
things that will benefit each OF them
The farmer must organize and 1t will
take some OF his time, but he is like
the man with the dog by the ear-he
cannot let go. He must sacrifice some
time TO attend meetings, meet with his
fellows, plan what is best, so that he
may eventually at least get an equal
chance with the other interests which

OPPORTUNITY

TT YOU picked up a diamond in the
rough you would probably toss Ii
away again. Without training, you
would not know that it was dia-
mond.
Every day you pass by, unnoticing,
opportunities that other men instantly
recognize and bend to their own uses.
Your neglect of them is not your
fault. Without special training you
cannot be expected to recognize OPP
portunity.
For many years people regarded an
thracite coal as useless black stone
too soft for building material, too hard
for fuel.
By accident somebody discovered
that in a proper stove it would burn
better than bituminous coal, and make
no smoke. And from that day 1t be-
came valuable commodity.
Don't expect opportunity to come
up and introduce itself Don't expect
1t even to knock at your door.
You must learn to look for 1t. You
must learn to see in some particular
position chance for advancement
that other positions lack, although
they'pay far better wages,
You must learn to see in some eau.
ing an interest that will enlist your
enthusiasm.
10 do this is not easy. 1t takes
training and thought. s.
The training you can get in schools
and out of books, and by consulting
others who have had experience.
The thought must originate in your
brain and operate there. Nobody can
do your thinking for you.
The men who ger important places,
and hold them, are the men who are
not only searching for opportunity. but
who have learned to recognize it when
they see it.
You cannot be even a lucky gold
hunter unless you know where the gold
is likely to be, and what it looks like
in the quartz or gold-bearing sand
And opportunity, which is far finer
gold than any that is buried in the
earth, is still harder to recognize, al
though it is not fortunately anything
like so rare.

EFFIE

FROM the quaint old-fashioned
- Euphemia, so rarely heard in these
days, comes the popular name of Effie.
Ii is not diminutive, as is generally
supposed. but full-fedged name with
an interesting history. Originally
Euphemia meant both fair speech and
abstinence from the reverse, so that
from an ironical standpoint it signified
silence, and was applied to the still
ness that prevailed during religious
rites
The first Euphemia who gave vogue
to the name was a virgin martyr Of
Bithynia, whose legend of constancy
made her popular in both the East
and the West. Russia called her
JeVfimija; she was. Jena in Servia,
and Bema and BiInnie In other lands.
Scotland however, adopted 1.-THE name
and straightMNys called her Effie.
Phomie was also Scottish but did not
attain the popularity of the former

cause Of the finest works of Sir Walter
Scott. Heroines of fiction, written by
the masters OF literature, find their
names as immortalized as heroines OF
history and Efiie is no exception to this
general rule.
Il was once thought that the Scot
fish name Euphame was one of the
Greek names brought from Hungary
by Queen Margaret. Others believed
that it came from the Kettle Aoiffe
which has fostered so many of
our present-day feminine names. In
deed. those so inclined may take their
choice Of possible sources, though gen.
eral credence is more often given TO
the first derivation, since it concerns
a religieuse and in olden days. it would
seem that being martyred was all that
was needed to perpetuate ones name
through the centuries.
In the Scottish Highlands, Fife is
called Oighrigh. n name which seems
TO have no derivation whatever. The
Church of Santa Eufemia at Rome
gives title TO cardinal and through 1t
the name has spread in popularity in
Italy and France.
Efie's stone is the topaz, which has
the power Of the sun to put to flight
all evil and dark forebodings, but it
must be set in gold to accomplish its
purpose. 1t promises that no harm
shall befall its wearer. Tuesday is
her lucky day; her lucky number, and

n HE question of smoking among
= women is one that shows just how
some customs that are absolutely
taboo in one generation gain social
recognition and acquire a code OF
manners in the next.
In our grandmother's day smoking.
among women was unheard of--ex-
cepting for the occasional old crone
VINO puffed away at her pipe Today
many women smoke. Many well-bred
women smoke. And so there has
grown up code Of rules about smok-

In some of the big city hotels WON

they are. In some. certain parts Of
the restaurants or tea rooms, like the
sun parlor or the palm rooms, are set
aside for diners who wish to smoke,
both men and women.
Strange to say, at one of the gayest
New York restaurants women are
even now requested not to smoke. If
a woman is seen smoking, the waiter
brings little note to her table. writ

is gracefully to extlnguish her cigar

Recently good deal of trouble was
raised in England because certain ho-
teis for girls allowed srnokiug-set

the decision caused a split in the or.
ganization, 1t is said. And in this
country much indignant protest has

The ROMANCE OF, WORDS
"DoN'T"

THE word don't" is in gen.
= eral use and it is recognized
by grammarians as good Eng
fish word, but 1t must be remem-
bered that don't" is contrac-
ton of the verb, "Go" and the
adyerb mot" and it is eQuiva-
lent. therefore, to "do not and
not TO docs not" Don't" should
be used only where the two
words do not" may be put in its
place.
Correct usage permits the en-
ployment of don't" only with a
plural noun or pronoun, or with
the personal pronoun an or the
personal pronoun "you." Never
say ''he don't" "she DON'T" at
don't" etc. Even the most I'M
trained ear will detect the error,
when. for example, she do not
20" is spoken or written, but the
incorrectness of "he don't go" is
not SO apparent.
Such use of the word don't
as in the sentence, Zone swallow
don't make a spring" is heard
freqnently; bat its incorrectness
becomes apparent when do no"
is substituted for don't and
the sentence becomes zone swal-
low do not make a spring"
The proper word to use when
contraction for docs not" is
desired is doesn't" for ex-
ample. zone swallow doesn't
make a spring"

Germany needs approximately

the mark, and the uncertainty as TO

all the details of the diagnosis
and operation. Yesterday he
went to the hospital where the
woman is a patient, and follow
ing the information gained in
his dream made an incision
and recovered the needle.

consulted by the woman, whose
name he withheld. She told
him that nine years ago she
had swallowed a needle, but
suffered no inconvenience for
five years. She then went
through a course of treatment
for appendicitis, and was not
annoyed again until this week.
DR.. Grow sent her to the hos
pital for observation.
