MINOR MUSINGS

Concentration is the life Of trade.
When his motor stalls. the inexpert
driver does the same thing.
Narrow minds have not had wide
experience.
Those who have tried il find that
rich relations make poor picking.
Many a man is getting ahead in
this world who is getting behind in
the next.
The race of life is never to the
"swift"
Troubles that come doubly some
times Offset one another.
There are two kinds OF men-those
who are on their toes and those who
are on their backs.

MAIL CARRIER |S
 MINUS LEGS, ARMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Natural handicaps are no obstacle to many people, and the most shining example is that of B. A. Jones of Burlington. Mo-, who. born without legs, has driv- en a rural mail delivery route out of that city for twenty years and never complained.
 Jones' route is 25 miles long, out of Burlington, and since 1901 when he was appointed, he has missed only four days from the job and those be- cause of slight illness.
 So interested were post office de- partment officials who only recently had his case called to their attention that Assistant Postmaster General Billany wrote him letter of congrat- ulation for his efficient service, per formed in spite of a physical defect which might have discouraged a per son of less resolute temperament, and will less determination to succeed in life.

MONEY AND WAR

The axiom that money is the sinewS of war is true one. Without money, there would be no wars; at least none of any magnitude.
 Today's press dispatches contain the item that Great Britain is on the verge of economic chaos. Debts are Looming up and creditors are demand ing payment. Money has become the all-controlling factor in a nations des. tiny. Today we see nations whose proud boast was that they were all powerful, suing for terms by which to meet their obligations with credit to themselves. It is noteworthy that these nations with sense of honor are willing to meet their debts-and by so doing incur the respect of those with whom they are dealing.
 Germany and France are again at loggerheads; and all over money due as payment in -eparation for damages resulting from the war. Germany, through her too close application for power is all but bankrupt. France, while not down to the last franc, is feeling the stringency of finance and has taken unto itself such measures as it deems advisable to collect its due and in so doing has stirred up a rrif ifc 3 feeling which the whole world hoped was buried. Germany, in spite it's pronounced attitude of peace, may re- sent the conditions imposed upon it by France and the seizure of its in- ddustries, and again plunge into strife. Neither nation can afford the conflict Germany, already practi- cally demoneized would put up a weak defensive or offensive. France, while having an army, would be put to the necessity of borrowing money to conduct it's campaign, and no one na- ton on earth is in position to grant loan. America. creditor to half of Europe, needs all its surplus cash to meet its own conditions; therefore the Ioaning of money to any country is an impossibility.
 The prevention of war lies in tight ening up on financial conditions and a strict application of this policy would tend to a world peace which all the conference and conventions could not bring about.

THE FREE SEED CRAFT.

By a vote of 74 to 71 the House has defeated $360,000 free seed graft. The hoary old fraud of free seeds, which has been the object of attack in every congress for many years, seems to have few supporters through out the country, if one bases opin- ion on expressions of the press, but somehow it always manages to get by. Two years ago it was defeated and then brought up again and passed. History may be repeated this year meaning by that that the defeat of the may be followed by it's revival. But in time this form of pap from the tain to reach a point where it will be come unbearable The seeds furnish ed 10 legislators and ranked all over the country are of inferior grade and not suitable to many parts of the na- tion.
 Another graft which the government perpetrates upon the people is print ing envelopes for a price far below what any competitor could do the work at. In other words, by buying a thousand stamped envelopes you get the printing free and the envelope it. self at less than half price. A ten inch, bond envelope, substance 20 to 24, is worth from sS.50 to $10 printed, in any market in the land. The stamp is worth two cents, which would bring the price close to $50 pe. thousand The government sells the envelope at the price of the stamps, plus a very small charge for printing.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars are taken from the printers of the country by government competition. Were the government to engage in selling sugar or dry goods, taking or ders through each postmaster. mer- chants throughout the country would cause a storm of protest that would cause the obnoxious practice to cease. The printer has no such recourse, al. though of more importance to com. mu1ity than half a dozen small busi. ness enterprises.

MAN WHO X. 0.,D LUIS
SEES CHAMPS DOOM

BUENOs. AIRES. September IL
Engeld Rodriguez Of Uruguay, holder
of the South American light heavy
weight championship and the only
boxer who ever knocked out Luis
Angel Firpo, predicts that the Argen-
tine will defeat Jack Dempsey.
= Rodriguez. who is visiting here,
recalled today his fight with Firpo
in Montevideo in January, 1918. after
the present heavyweight challenger
had beaten all Corners in his own
country. Firpo at that time had won
his bouts through his aggressiveness
and his terrific punch, but his kpowl-
edge of boxing science was then rudi-
.nentary. and Rodriguez Knocked him
out in the first round with right
to the chin,
II honestly believe that this knock
out was the key to Firpo's success"
said the Uruguayan fighter. I'm
stead of being discouraged, as many
young boxers might,>have been. he
was ali the more determined. He
realized that he did not know how
to box, and from that moment pro-
ceeded TO learn.
"Since winning the title Dempsey
has had only four bouts. Boxing
is like a woman-jealous when meg
lected, il requires constant atten-
ton. Dempsey is suffering from this
neglect. Firpo will win"
