THE REAL NEW YEAR.
WHAT is SWELL BORN?'
The TACTFUL PRINCE.
LABOR MUST SAVE ITSELF.

Hen and women, young o. cd,
with ambition left, should re =
Der that new year has :.
The new year of SUCCESS Uoes
not begin ON January 1, in the mid
die of Winter. 1t begins now, with
Summer ended, vacations over,
schools open, everything under
way.
He who begins carrying out his
good resolutions and working hard
now, instead of waiting until next
January will have start of four
months on the others, and that's a
good start.
Flying from Greenland to Lab
rador, the American fliers got back
to the American mainland in five
months and fourteen days after
their start around the world.
Children of the future will be
amazed at this slow trip around the
world. A feature of public school
education in future ages will be
flying trip around the world during
Summer vacation. The child of
twelve will know the principal
mountain ranges, rivers and CAPT.
tails of the world by having actually
seen them.
Statistics show that the month of
marriage is changing from June to
August, and that's a good thing.
June is the month from the roman
tic point of view, August from the
practical point Of view.
The first baby of an August we'd
G:ug comes along in the Spring with
the flowers of May and can be put
outdoors at once to get fresh air.
IN addition, the mother can nurse
tie baby all through the hot months
os the first Summer, when the right
artificial food is hardest to find.
Scientists, students of Eugenics,
welfare workers and others, includ-
~" '~'''ant author of the "New
6 r-;ence" are much
worried about human breeding, and
in the future of the race. 1.-THE well
born refuse to breed, and the i'll
born insist on breeding too much"
say these anxious worriers.
1t all depends on what you call
we'll born. The fortunate child is
born. of q mother that wants chill
dren and the i'll born comes from a
mother that does NOT want chill
E dren.
Time, evolution, gradual lifting
up of the frontal angle, and public
schools will take care o. the human
race. if the babies get the right
start. The right start begins in a
mothers affection for the father OF
her child. Without that, pity the
child. With that, everything else
can be Strengthened out. What heat
is in the making of steel, affection
is in the creation of children.
Farmers will be interested to
know that the Argentine Republic
spends S5,0OO,OOO for $4,000 tons of
galvanized iron sheets to keep back
devouring locusts. The sheets will
be given to the farmers free and
they will be compelled to put them
UP, digging a ditch where the To-
Gusts viii accumulate and be de-
stroyed.
The United States Steel Prod
ucts Company supplies the steel.
Here we'd call free steel for farm
ers' socialism.
The young Prince of Wales might
have made a successful career on
his own hook. He has tact, the
keystone in the arch of success.
Reporters wired from the ship
that he had danced with young
St. Louis girl whom he had never
met. When the news was sent back
to the ship by wireless, the Prince
requested an introduction to the
young woman and danced with her
twice.
That reminds you of Abraham
Lincoln's tactful treatment of a
reporter who had written about
Lincoln's life and the books he had
read, few enough in number. Lin
coin told him that one of the books
he had never read, but, to make
everything all right, he would read
it, and he did.
Labor is one cog in the machine
of modern industry, the most i'm
portant cog, although the machine
doesn't admit it. Labor's destiny
depends on labor, not benevolent
speeches in political campaigns.
When men know more they will
have more. When they stick to-
gether as capitalists stick together,
free of religious and race hatreds
and prejudices, they will have
power.
Prosperity and power they rust
TT for yourselves; they will not
