WHY BE DISCOURAGED?

Hardly day passes when some in
cident doesn't impress on these who
think the query: Why be discourage
ed? Over in finance thousands are
struggling cheerfully to make habi-
table the places which once knew
them but which were destroyed and
defiled by the Germans. Down in
Italy those whose homes have been
destroyed by volcanic eruption are
making their plans to return and
once more take up their abiding place
under the shadow of the volcano that
has wrought the calamity.
Sometimes this courage and sub
lime confidence appear to be mis-
placed, though one instinctively pays
homage to it. But surely this may not
be said Of the endeavor of a Fort
Worth printer, who became blind two
years ago, and who since that time
has perfected several profitable in
ventions. why should bemoan my
fate" inquiries X. J. Dollahite. He
blind has it's advantages as we'll as
disadvantages. This is genuine opti-
mism, and living up to it he has per-
fected a duplex check printing chase
and recently applied for patent on a
check protector. Perhaps more Of us
might find time to do the big things
for which we have the ability If we
could get rid of the petty routine for
a while, adds Mr.. Dollahite.

happy fate of being swindled through
the waste of time and energy and the
absence of team work that are the
result of this bureaucratic battle be-
tween the trans Atlantic drafted and
the cis-Atlantic drafted employees Of
the Veterans Bureau.
1t is idle to look for any relief from
the party in power or the party out
of power save as the American
Legion is able to bring to bear upon
the representatives of both parties at
Washington the power of a country
wide opinion born of the wrath of, an
indignant people. If the San Fran
cisco convention of the Legion does
it's work well, the Veterans Bureau
will be put under a spotlight that will
disgust the whole country with a
clerical row which is causing suffer-
ing and hardship to thousands OF our
disabled defenders fer whose plight
the bureaucratic warriors on the
banks of the Potomac seem not to
care the snap of their fingers. 1t is
the Legion that can supply the facts
and the criticism that will set Wash
ingtcn to shiyering long before the
cold weather comes again. 1t is to
the Legion that the country is APP
pcaling for such a service.

IS LITTLE JACK RABBIT
| {|s 9sA,;i,71.s.;;;sssss szr:) DAVID cory

Lucky hoped into the field. Just
then the big round yellow moon came
ont of a cloud and shone right down
on the clover tops. Oh my! Weren I
they red and white and blue! Well, l
lust guess yes and no! And while the
little rabbits Toasted the Grasshopper
kept watch from the top rail OF the
old snake fence.
ooh, the moon shines bright
On the pretty moonlit field,
All covered with clover tops so sweet,
But Oh dear and oh my!
There's a shadow on the sky
Old hawk has hooks upon his feet!
Well, sir! If that grasshopper
hadn't sung this beautiful song 1t
would have been the end Of these two
dear little, rabbits but when they
heard the last two lines, they didn't
stop to eat another clover top. No
sireeman! They hoped as quickly
as ten-legged fly into an old hollow
stump. And that's pretty quick if
you've ever used a fly swatter.
When the grasshopper who had
skipped into hole in the fence rail
peeked out he saw Hungry Hawk
strutting around the hollow stump.
Come out Of that stump
Or I'll tear it in two.
Or I'll split it in half.
Don't care what do.
81 WON'T, answered brave Uncle
Lucky.
"Nor T.! replied Little Jack Rabbit,
but the Grasshopper never said
word but commenced to play on his
fiddle. You know how a Grasshopper
fidd,cs, don't you? He scrapes his
left hind leg up and down under his
wing.
"Botheration'', grumblcd Hungry
Hawk and he flew away. knowing it
was useless to wait for those two lit
tie rabbits to hop out of that friendly
hollow stump.
And in the story for tomorrow, if
you'll promise to be kind to all little
and big animals, I'll tell you about

A MERITEp RECOGNITION

The choice of DR.. Augustus O.
Thomas, State Commissioner Of Edu-
cation Of Maine, as the first presi-
dent of the newly formed World
Federation of Educational Associa-
tons, is merited recognition Of the
effort which he has put forth to
make possible this organization OF
the worlds educational influences.
To him more than to anyone else
is attributable the success OF the
World Conference on Education,
which has just been held in San
Francisco. 1t has seemed very real
to him that: IF it were possible to
set up a series of national and in
ternational ideals and to teach them
faithfully to the children Of today
the world tomorrow would exemplify
these virtues in their relations to
one another" He has devoted much
time and thought to making a be-
ginning and has succeeded. He so
is equipped to take over the direction
of the affairs of this great enterprise
at its inception.

Oh, the grasshopper sat in the Luc-
llymobile
With his knees up under his chin,
So happy and gay as he rode on his
way
BY the light Of the big diamond pin
That the old rabbit wore in his purple
cravat
Under the brim of his old stovepipe
hat.
Now, let me see, If I remember
right, the Grasshopper had promised
to show Uncle LUCKY a beautiful
clover patch where the clover tops
grew red, white and blue and were
covered with dew, ira, la, loo!
Turn to your right. said the
Grasshopper and by and by, after a
while. just as it grew dark, the Luc-
kymobile stopped right alongside of
a beautiful clover field.
Here we are, said the Grasshop-
per, hopping out to stretch his long
legs which were dreadfully cramped
from sitting so long in the Luckymo-
bile.

A SAFETY VALVE?

Quite aside from possible enrich
ment Of wisdom applicable to the
advancement Of international peace
the Box offer for practical plan may
serve as a sort of safety valve for
wits in ferment. Within two days
the offer was announced more than
fifty plans were received.
This was a spontaneity hardly
looked for from the founts Of wisdom
and cursory consideration Of the
plans presented leaves some doubt
whether the founts Of wisdom really
were tapped in all instances. Any
how. the quality Of practicability is
conspicously absent from those that
have been received.
As might be expected most Of the
suggestions are based on the assump-
ton that human nature is to bs
changed. This assumption is the
usual characteristic of visions Of ar
ideal world. Somehow mere mar
doesn't At into the scheme and so II
Is taken for granted-by the plannel
that he will be found changed wher
the necessity arises. To date this hal
not happened, not even after such 9
lesson AZ that visited on the WORLD
by the last war. -
One authority is sanguine in tn,
expectation that some comprehend.
BILE plan will be the outcome. Let u,
hope 30. but At least we may be hope.
full with him that the undertaking
will afford a symposium of across.
section of American public opinion
and will focus public opinion upor
the views Of the publicists".
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-07-09

The daily duties may be likened to
a mans beard under the present
fashion for disposing of it by daily
shave performed with the resolution
keyed up by a cold plunge. No
safety razor yet invented, no
emollient lather nor soothing lotion
makes shaving a delightful pastime,
but caressing a smooth chin is a
source of qualification, a reward of
merit appreciated as such and the
shaver goes to meet the day with
more confidence than he with an un-
shaver chin. The following day it
all has to be done over gain. The
doing becomes a habit, which if not
attended to is missed and one learns
that it is better to have shaved and
rejoiced than not to have shaved at
all
