THE REMEDY

'The remedy lies not in words but
in deeds. 1t is for us to show by our
works not only the faith that is in
us, but our capacity TO do. Things
actually accomplished cannot be
gainsaid Therefore let us resolve,
every man and every woman of us,
every boy and every girl Of us to
consecrate ourselves to the work at
hand. whether it be the guiding of a
plow, Or casting our nets for draft.
or preaching a sermon or writing a
book or presenting the case of the
race at the bar of public opinion. or
teaching the young idea to shoot, let
us, I entreat you, do the thing with
such thoroughness and devotion, with
such absolute loyalty and attention to
the m'nutest detail, that whether we
be regarded as great or small, super
Tor or of little worth, we shall have
the compensation of the abiding
knowledge that We put into the work
the best that was in us to do. for
eve know how rough the road will
be,
How heavy the load Will be,
We know about the barbados that
wait along the track;
But we have set our soul ahead,
Upon certain goal ahead,
And nothing left from hell to sky,
Shall ever turn us back"

A SERIOUS HANDICAP.

big as was the legacy which was
bequeathed to it in the ignorance
which enshrouded the race at the
ame that freedom came to it. it was
as nothing as compared to the con-
viction held by all our own people
as well as by our friends of the other
race that We were inherently and
eternally inferior to the people along
SIDE of whom we were to live and
labor. This state of mind had a de-
pressing effect upon our people in
their aims, aspirations and ambi-
lions. With the impatient of the race
it provoked fruitless protestation
against the assumption, while it gave
the demagogues of the other race an
opportunity to vociferate vehement
ly that nothing good or great could
come from this backward. prescribed

Yellow Warbler.

The little yellow warbler seems
to enjoy a warm, sunny climate
more than any other member Of the
bird family. He follows the summer
all over the country, sometimes tray
cling from Panama 10 Canada and
back in the course Of five months
time. Because Of the fact that he
loves the sunshine so much, his
very appearance reminds one Of a
bright sunbeam. His feathers are
canary yellow and he is often mis-
taken for someone's pet canary. It
is a hard task 10 venture close
enough TO this shy little creature TO
be able TO see the fine streaks Of
brown on his breast. These stripes
are the only sure way to distinguish
the yellow warbler from the canary.

He began making pads for horses.
There was nothing spectacular

Life's Hurdle
What is Meant by Regres-
sion?
BY L. E. Bisch

olOh
Repression is a psychoanalyt!c
term.
The science Of the mind that
seeks the causes Of human be-
hayior and motives, namely psy-
choanalysis, makes use Of the word
repression to describe a not I'M
common method Of action.
There is not an individual living
who has not had his ups and downs
in life.
Every person has been held back,
disappointed, set back.
If we still advance, despite these
obstacles and handicaps, all is
well, and we develop normally.
Should we, however, become dis
couraged to the point Of not at
tempting to overcome our Difficult
ties again, should we "lie down on
the job" Of life as 1t were, then
repression is likely to set in.
And then, when we regress, we
return to a mode of behavior and
feeling that we enjoyed as chill
dren.
We think and act and experience
like children.
We seek protection and care like
children.
We run away from the conflicts
Of life and seek shelter in child
hood fancies.
An example of repression would
be the following:
A young girl, guarded and pro-
tected at home, falls in love with
man and surrounds this love with
the quintessence Of idealism.
We'll, after marriage, she finds
her beloved and the marriage state
not quite rs ideal as she had pic
tu-ed.
She is disappointed, she broods
over IL. she finally fees and seeks
the shelter Of her parental roof.
This young woman has regressed
In a way, repression Is a coward
ly retreat.
When we regress we accept de-
feat and do not pluck up sufficient
courage to try again.
We often regress without quite
realizing It.
We often think and behave In
ways that are distinctly childish.

Three World Groups

II EW have minds that imagine the future wildly
II as H. G. Wells His latest prophecy is that
is generally agreed upon by thinkers. We
headed for three big worldgroups. One the United
States of America One the United States of Europe
The other is an Asiatc group in which China will pre-
dominate numerically
But if the world is tending inevitably toward big
units these units ought to be loose life is not to be
more commonplace. In New York City today there are
regular theaters in Yiddsh, German Italian Chinese
and performances to be in Russian Polish
French, Greek, Hungarian, Bohemian, Spanish Swedish
This is example of what life ought to be-as much
variety possible inside of large units
British diplomacy is wise in trying to knit Germany
into the European unit instead of pushing her toward the
east Russia west of the Ura Mountains will also come
into the European group her standards of living rise
1t will be long, long time before the teeming mil
lions Of India and China reach the standards of educa
ton, nyentvenes and comfort built up in Europe and
passed along to America.

Test of True Worth
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

; got in the way of natures laws it
has been crushed and has disap-
peared.
The theory Of the survival of the
fittest does not subscribe to the idea
that the strongest is the fittcst, that
the hulking bully is natures favor
lite.
The gigantic monsters of the
Mcsozoic age, the Tyrannosaurus
and the Brontosaurus, whose ggan-
tic bodies dragged along like a city
block on legs and whose brain eavi-
ties were little larger than one front
toe, were not the ones who inherited
the earth.
They were the most powerful, but
not the fittcst. .
Small creatures, auaking in ~
r6f; at their approach, who hum5ly'
adapted themselves to natures
changing demands, lived on after
these seemingly 'invincible monsters
existed only in fircside tales. t.
The one fatal, unforgivable sin
in the history Of the world has been
n failure to bow to the laws Of ma
ture. '''-
The one who best adapted him
self to the changing conditions
under which he was forced to live
was the one who proved fittest and
who endured.
The truly wise and powerful are
those who humbly adapt themselves
to the circumstances of their life.

An old country philosopher once
said something to me I've never for
gotten.
People" he said, "have a mis-
taken idea Of what constitutes SUI
periority. Excellence is not based
upon intellect, but upon being in
harmony with natures laws.
"An angleworm may be equal to
an archangel in worth.
"If it is doing all that nature in
tended an angleworm to do an arch
angel could do no more"
The passage in the Bible, "The
meek shall inherit the earth" has
been often misunderstood.
The meek are not the spiritual
jelly fish. They are the humble
minded. " va
They are those who respect the
laws Of nature. They realize their
life depends upon obedience. to forces
greater than they are. They do not
conceitcdly set themselves up in op-
position, but humbly submit.
Consequently they inherit the
earth when the naughty spirited in
refusing TO adapt themselves have
merely demonstrated the power Of
these laws and have passed away.

San Antonio its present prosperity to the crea
ton of wealth throughout its trade territory That
the boom here has not received the notorey given the
one in Florida be attributed mainly to the lack of
the artificial stimulus of frenzed speculation. Agcu
turss buy land to improve and work it. and not to sell
it.
Within the last few years enormous amount of
new wealth has been created in South and Southwest
Texas Numerous irrigation projects have been inaugu
rated completed. Railroads competing for the
privilege of serving South and Southwest Texas Areas
that barren have been made productive for
all time. Furthermore, there remain vast of un
productive land yet to be developed This last fact
prolongaon of the boom stage in the develop
ment of this section.
Of the many proofs given San Antonio of the sound
basis for the prosperity in this section is better
than that offered last Monday morning when ranload
of prosperous MddleWest farmers stopped in San
Antonio on their way to the Winter Garden district
They have here to invest not to speculate. They
not pioneers Thousands of their fellows have pre-
ceded them Before them spread tangible proof that
they have entered into agricultural empire of vast

THE END OF THE TRAIL

l ATTENDED, a funeral cnce way
out on the last frontier in Idaho. He
had worked hard for the up-building
of the community and they laid him
away in good style. They cut thru
a ledge of beautiful blue granite to
make his grave and yet little tomb
stone they put above him was from
Vermont. They buriel aim in the
heart of a pine forest but the pine
coffin was imported from Michigan.
They buried him within few miles
Of great iron ore deposit and yet
the nails in the coffin and the iron in
the shovel they dug his grave with
We're imoprted from Pittsburgh.
They buried him by the side of the
best sheep grazing country in the
world and yet the wool in the coffin
bands was imported from the East.
IDAHO DID NOT FURNISH A
THING FOR THAT FUNERAL but
the corpse and the hole in the earth.
They buried him in New York
coat and Boston pair of shoes nd
pair of breeches from Chicago and
a shirt from st. Louis, leaving him
nothing to carry into the next world
to remind him of the country in
which he had lived and had fought
for, but his earthly remains.
His Borrowing family crawled into
a Detroit automobile, on Akron rub
Der, with California gasoline as the
motive power, driven by negro from
Louisiana.
And yet this was Idaho and his
family had to make living herel
