ONE MANS VIEWS

Todays paragraphs are frankly side of contro-
verted question
If your views the other side, if you
give better for them.
Once the senate irreconcilabes raise tremendous
poher lest the United States has committed itself
thing inconsistent with their solatonist policy. We have
signed agreement by which part Of the collections under
the Dawes plan will be assigned to in payment of the
costs of army of occupation Have thereby
mtted ourselves joining in any steps enforce those
payments, in Germany should default?
The be, quite plainly, that have not.
We have maintained right to be paid but have also
saeguarded what the irreconclabes regard still
sacred-the right let Germany refuse pay u.s. and not
do anything about it.
This the way of it, We to be paid for the costs
of army of occupation out of the collections from Ger
many-but not paid. So entered into second
agreement the socaled Wadsworth agreement by which
again to be paid out of those collections at the
rate of about 100000 gold marks year-and again
got nothing.
Now enter third agreement, to be paid out of
the collections under the Dawes pan at the rate
of 100000 gold marks year, plus IA cent of what
else collected under the Dawes plan The advantage
of this agreement that shall actually get the money
so long Germany pays.

had left US alone.
Darling" said Jack, 81 have been
so lonely without you. After q man
marries, no matter what he thinks,
he can not return to his old free
bachelor life. Something has come
into his existence that makes the
world void when his wife is gone
even if he does not appreciate her
when she is near.
"Oh, Leslie, what bowling desert
is great big hotel when you are
away"
But, Jack, you did not feel that
way when you left for New York
and left me alone"
He stopped my words with kisses
and said. "Stop! Tell me the truth.
Breast to breast! Hea.. to heart!
Life to life! Are you really glad to
see me? Do you still love me even
when I'm brute to you? Did you
want me even when you ran away
from me and game down here?"
He seemed to be quite absorbed
in looking into my eyes and was
glad he didn't notice the thirsting
stare with which devoured him.
oh, little Marquise, never knew
how much had wanted my husband
until l had him with me.

Thrift is worth lot of money, yet
doesn't cost a cent.
Perseverance is merely keeping on
doing what you decided to do even
after you decide that maybe you
shouldn't.
You must figure out things if you
are going to outfigure them.
Never try to argue with man
who just likes to argue unless you
are big enough to hit him in the
nose.
Working too hard is about as bad
in the long run as loafing too hard.
You won't have much luck with
anything you don't enjoy doing.
Exceeding the speed limit along
the road to success is just as dan
gerous as along any other road.
Blessed are the peacemakers, and
cussed are the trouble makers.
What man does isn't half SO i'm
portant as why he does it.
Ideas are like people. They need
rest. If you work one overtime it
becomes nervous and troublesome.
The good men do lives after them
the evil gets after them.
The greatest argument for relig-
ion is the expression on the faces
OF those who say they have none.
Some people had rather seem
bright than pleasant.
When you don't know what you
are making you are making mis-
take.
False pride has one virtue. 1t
may force you to do something of
which you can be proud.
Success has habit of coming
around while you are busy.
The best way to make man do
what he doesn't want to do is to
make him want to do it.
Love is magnifying glass, max
ing you see the rest Of the world
through the reverse side.
Keep your nose too close to the
grindstone and you mistake the
sparks for stars.

Three score years ago a l0-year-
Ole youth left home to make his
way il the world
Deprived Of parental assist
ancs, without the advantages Of
an education he started out TO
make good. His only resource
was q fighting determination.
Yesterday, at the age Of GS
years, grown to grizZled manhood,
that youth died, the head of the OPP
Grating department Of 5000 miles
Of railroad
He was j. NJ. Rapelje, vice pres
ident Of the Northern Pacific.
Starting at the bottom rung Of
the ladder he climbed first TO the
POSITION of brake man, then to that
O' engineer, conductors trainmas-
ter, superintendent general man
ager and finally TO the ladders
topmost rnng, that of vice pres
ident.
With little schooling, with no
pull he gained the goa! OF his
profession.
Mr.. Rapelje's secret of success
was hard work and conscientious
application to duty. He hated the
laggard, the professional clock
watcher p
He died with the reputation Of
being one of the most efficient OPP
Grating men in railroad circles.
During the last year he succeeded
in reducing operating expenses to
such an extent that, even with re
dnced revenues, his company was
able to sci a high mark in ne,
earnings.
But this was not his greatest &c
Conplishment. With his intense
knowledge Of men, his keen in
sight into their natures and his
whole hearted kindness, he won
their love ant admiration. TO &c.
600 employees he was known as
Jack"
His position, in mis- organization
and in the hertts of his employees,
will be hard to fill.

over his crossness and followed be-

But Pete got tired after while
besides he smelled steak frying, and
he went back to the house.
"How do you like being cat?"
asked the Fairy Queen.
The black cat looked at the moon
that had just come up.

rather be mouse any day. But I've
learned one thing. The moon isn't

The Fairy Queen waved her wand
and the little mouse ran squeaking

ply that European authorities do

No European statesman has even
said that in his opinion our interest

the Germans default We will prob
