But the chronic kicker is not
the only civic weed that chokes
progress. The SNUG, congenital
optinist who Is enthusiastically sat
isfied with his city, it's politics,
government and every public I'M
dertaking, who wouldn't oppose
any civic evil because it would be-
bad advertising for the city, is
more harmful.
This country was settled by
kickers against the established
order. From the Pilgrims to the
signers of the Declaration if In
dependence they We're the fellows
who laid the foundation of our
nations greatness.
Vigorous kicking, caused by a
desire to better conditions rather
than dyspepsia, has knocked the
spots off many civic ills and age
old evils. Indianapolis can stand
lot Of such kicking.

Work
By Hall Cochran

Whatever your task is, in every
day work, you make it much harder
whenever you shirl. You're cheat
ing yourself when there's time you
can kill. The Ioafing stunts wrong,
and you soon get your fill.
I pity the fellow who frets
through the day and kicks cause
the hours pass so slowly away. With
manner Of working there's some
thing quite wrong when the hours
that he labors seem always too long.
What boss ever feels he can take
healthy stock in the man who's con-
tinually watching the clock? The
worth Of that type Of a fellow will
slip, for his mind, as to work, is
just Inland then skip.
The world likes the sticker, who
does all he can. The world will adj
nit he's q regular man. You're
either Just loa1ng-or doing your
bit. Say, honestly. now, in what
class do YOU fit?

What Tomorrow Means to You

Libra.
Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite adverse until sunset, and the
signs not only denote that the daily
round should alone receive your at
tention, without reaching out to
tackle new problems. but indicate
very clearly that. unless you bring
up your reserves Of poise and calm
In order to counteract the forces Of
annoyance and unworthy impulse
the day will end in DISAPPOINTMENT
and chaxrin. In the evening better
condition prevails. and there are
stimulating vibrations. which will
charge the atmosphere with geniality.
forbearance- and smiles. The home
or family circle will be attractive, and
much pleasure and cOntentment will
he derived from your intimate asso-
citation Herewith.
A child born tomorrow will. with
proper nutrition and wholesome en-
viroment, prove to be, physically, all
that its parents have a right to ex-
pect. The few minor ailments from
which 1t will suffer will In no way
affect it's general good health and
sound physical condition. In TEN.
perament ii will be rather boiSterous
and rather careless of others COM

be corrected al an early age in order
TO avoid the development OF 4 selfish

which it will excel more than in

You are energetic and occa sionally
your energy runs away with YOU. You
are ambitious and positive to the De
gree OF stubbornness. You are lack
