Got His Words Mixed

A certain M. p, who is very stout,
made an eloquent speech at banquet.
When he lad finished another guest
rose to thank the great man and, de-

the table for smile.
His eye alighted on a small box of
preserved figs and he decided to de-

New Typesetting Machine

A typesetting machine that is op-
Grated directly from the keyboard of
any standard typewriter has been de-
signed especially for use in getting out
nrinted form letters and in the produc-
ton of books. Thus a stenographer,
in writing a letter, sets the type stimuli
taneously, and her typewriter page
serves as a proof of the type in the
form, says Popular Science Monthly.
The setting machine is operated by a

composed of about 90 per cent calcium

and per cent water The organic mat

ROMANCE IN ACHIEVEMENT

Names and successes of millionaires are an open
book to the public mind. Everyone is familiar
with the inventions which have made fortunes
for their creators and promoters. All know that
Carnegie made millions in steel, that Rockefeller
afnaSSed fortune with oil, that Alexander Ora
ham Bell was the worlds greatest telephone finan-
cer that Henry Ford is acquiring millions from
automobiles. Every millionaire is thus associated
with the source of his wealth. The result is that
in the popular picture of a millionaire space is
given only for success.
How many men and women know that Andrew
Carnegie once faced bankruptcy? All know him
as a mill hand III his youth, but the public knows
little or nothing of the vcissitudes encountered
by him during his long business career. Alexan-
der Graham Bell spent years seeking capital for
the promotion of his first telephone while news
papers, capitalists and scientific journals ridicued
him and his idea. John N WHY'S, the automobile
manufacturer, made a fortune before the war.
He lost everything in the postwar crash but in
the last five years has amaSsed a greater fortune
than the first. Few know of his reverses until he
published the story in a magazine autobiography.
August Heckscher lost millions in a crash in the
zinc market and was counted among the down.
and-outers. He is again one of the milEonares,
but how many think of him as once bankrupt?
Ford's rise to industrial and financial prominence
followed discouraging years of experimentation
and promotion. Ford stock worth thousands to-
day was once considered valueless. It took ten
years to sell the first harvester, but who today
ever heard of Mccormick as an impoverished in
ventor and promoter of farm machinery? Mark
Twain lost fortune in promoting the typesetting
machine
The public ever hears and talks of the world S
successes and remains peacefully oblivious to the
early struggles of the successful. The reason is
self-evident Humanity is interested in success
and not in failure. Tragedy is no longer popular
and more romance is found in achievement than
In the struggle for achievement.

BEAUTIFUL ADOBES

Editors Note-The Tucson Citizen in its Sun
day issue devoted two columns to Beautiful
Bricks" 1t was stated therein that "a brick is
indeed beautiful thing-symmetrical in shape
and outline and attractive in color; warm red
bricks of the color and warmth of plush ETC., etc.
The editorial was so striking" with its pen YER
sion of the famous Irish confetti" that The
Herald cannot refrain from lauding the lowly
adobe).
Beautiful adobes. In Mexico and on the border
you see them everywhere. Sometimes they are-not
classed as an item of beauty because they are
common. This is indeed mistake-for adobes
are beautiful.
The soft, warm mud, of lovely brown shade
is used to construct an adobe. Then the delicate
tint of straw is added thereby making the loWly
adobe not only thing of rare beauty but of
strength as well, for straw is to the adobe what
steel and iron is to concrete.
We see the beautiful adobes around us each day.
Some are Scared, tbs true, by numerous ranfalls
but the adobe is there some run together but
nevertheless they are there, so there!
d Gaze about you, gentle reader look upon the
sublime beauty of the adobe Realize that the
homes constructed of this beautiful, soft, muddy
mixture may house warm hearts of children.
: Lovely, lovely adobeS They stand alone in
their class. A gem of beauty. Rich and rare in
color, proud of the unadvertised virtues.
The beautiful adobes are cloaked in modesty,
this makes them and pure.
See how they stand layer upon layer proudly
rearing in the sublime sunlight of nature. What
could be more beautiful ?-Nogales Herald.

OUR COUNTRY STILL BEST

big Bill' Haywood would rather come to
America and face prison, than to stay in the COM
munistic Russia and his muddled dreams. Emma
Goldman, sick at heart over the failure of the
soviet oligarchy to give or even dream a peoples
government, wants to come home" to the land
she said she despised. Theodore Petroff, a vulgar
swinder caught in Wisconsin, pleads for life inn
prisonment in this country rather than deporta-
tion and freedom in Russia.
Only the blind man will say that everything is
"all right" in our country. There are many things
that need fixing; things that need the golden rule
and the rule of common sense and the teachings of
experience. But it is still the best country 1t
can be made still better when more realize this
in the same sense that any sovereign realizes the
responsibility for the charge committed to his
care.
More active participation in every public move,
an intelligent vote in every primary, realization
that every broken law is personal assault on the
national life, would greatly improve social and po-
litical conditions in our country.
