faction over the fact that the

Millions Of Dead Letters

Because of the failure of writers to
place a return address on envelopes,
almost 100000 missives are annual
ly sent to the postoffice departments
dead letter office, according to an an
nouncement by Charles Lubin, assist
ant postmaster. This neglect filled
New Yorks city's dead letter branch
with 100000 letters, he said.
Carelessness in addressing mail mat
ter, Mr.. Lubin declared, has cost the
taxpayers approximately $1,74O,000
year. In more recent years it has be-
come apparent that the postoffice de-
partment and the public ere not the
only sufferers. Private business and
industry every year lose millions of
dollars from the same cause.
This economic waste-this strange
diseases nothing more or less than
the careless addressing of mail matter,
the depositing of letters and packages
with incomplete, inadequate or incor-
rect addresses, an overwhelming ma
jority of which comes from large pa
irons of the mails. Anticipated mail
ing lists should be brought upto date
and every check placed against the

tai system without accurate addresses.
The postoffice has gone long way
toward assisting business men in soly-
ing the problem. -Postoffice representa-
tives have interviewed heads of firms,
who, due to the fact that their mail
is handled by subordinates, often are
not aware Of their own mailing diff
ficulties.
If the individual, firm or corpora
ton depending to any extent on the
mails for its business will realize that
the delay, and often non-delivery of
mail, results in loss of business and
profits, the most important step will
have been taken to correct the evil.
1t is estimated that 10000, 900
pieces of mail are yearly given di-
rectory service, which means that
postal employees must take time from
the regular handling and dispatching
of mail in the endeavor to provide cor
rect addresses for this huge volume of

answers, colored with some especial
phase peculiar to the writer. Some
have given happiness as an end and
some have gone so far as to say that
wealth is the all important because
with it we can gain the comforts of
life. Some of the most prominent and
what we call successful men of today
have given their formulate, but the
main points with them are such as
integrity, truth, faithfulness, ETC., fac
tors which are merely side issues in
the carrying out of the one great aim.
We do not connect wealth with such
men as Lincoln, Washington, Roose-
welt, Wilson. Whenever we think of
their names we are claimed by an
emotional feeling from within that
exalts us to another plane. They are
great to us because they embody an
ideal. We look UP to them, we revere
them, because they have done some
thing great, something noble. And in
that we have the answer to our ques-
tion-they have held fast to an ideal.
When a painter is at work on a
picture, he has in his minds eye the
picture of the. scene as he thinks it
should be. The sculptor sees wildly
before him the outliAe of an object
which is perfect. And the nearer he
can get to the ideal before him, in
corresponding proportion will his work
be judged in greatness, And so it is
with man. There is no such thing
as perfect man on this earth, but
each one of us has in his vision such
q one. We long to be like that ideal
and in the measure that we live up to
this ideal, in like measure will we be
adjudged successful in this life.
Can we subtract from the value of
man because he lives in howell and
another one lives in. a castle. That
all depends on how close each one has
followed out his ideal. If the former
has accomplished this to a greater
extent than the latter, then he is the
greater, regardless of station, rank or
prosperity. Therefore, it is not the
external indications that marks the
successful man at all times. We gage
by the man himself, we look into him
and find all his qualities.
In following out this ideal we must
adhere as closelyl as possible to all
law. There is the law of nature
which demands that we do certain
things and abstain from certain things
for the welfare of our own bodies.
There is the law Of society which says
that we must refrain from doing GER
tain things which might not in them
selves be so very harmful to us in
dividually, but collectively would do
injury to the group, and thereby stifle
progress. There is the law of hospi-
tally by which we can show our fell
lowship and common brotherhood.
Kindness, charity, generosity, love,
sympathy, obedience, are only a few
of the other laws, which by holding
fast to, we can approach the ideal.
Success then, shall we say, is gain
ed by modelling ourselves as closely
as possible to an ideal, and this is
done only by obeying all law. No
matter if you are rich or poor, you can
all strive for this goal and the nearer
you adhere to your ideal, the more
successful you will be.

Too Lazy To Work.

There is certain percentage OF
boys and young men who are too lazy
to work.
They are met on the streets every
day where they protrude their more
or less obnoxious personalities upon
the public.
| Every one of these young fellows
can work if he has the will.
| But he prefers to be q loafer, a
burden not only on his parents but on
the community.
For those who work and earn a
livelihood pay the price for those who
won't work.
OF course in times of financial de-
preston there is lack of employ
ment. But as a rule there is work
! for him who is willing to work.
The Globe ventures the opinion that
not one of the lazy loafers that OBJ
struct the sidewalks of Worthington
but that could find employment if he
would look for it and could hold job
if he would apply himself.
Instead this type of youth. prefers
to attach his face to one end of a
sinking cigaret and match to the
other and stand on street corners and
ogle decent women.
Out upon such actions. These
youths should be made to work; made
to earn a living; compelled to get in
the way of laying the Foundation for
decent citizenship.
There are Too many loafers among
grown men without there being any
necessity to keep new crop coming
along.
Every one of the loafers among the
youth has fine appetite and has to
wear clothes. Food and rainment are
supplied by those who brought these
loafers into the world. They should
have decency enough to try and re-
pay the debt they owe.
