GLENN FRANK

Glen Frank, the newly elected
president of the University of Wis
consin, who is to receive a salary
of $4,000 per year, is the story of
a youth who worked his way
through his educational days the
best he could.
He is now only SO and was born
in the little town of Queen City in
north central Missouri. His par
ents are Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Frank and he is the youngest of
four sons. His father supported
the family by teaching and all at
tended the Methodist church.
When only sixteen Glenn preach
ed on a circuit, sometimes speak
ing three times in a single day.
An interesting story is told of the
first time he Went to fill the pull
pit of the Methodist church in the
nearby town of Memphis. The peo-

urity he was ready to mount the
ladder of success and ~in the bu-
siness field he achieved almost all
that one could expect to accomplish
in one generation. He accumulated,
by dint of hard work and close
attention to business, consider
able amount of worldly possessions
and when this amount was swept
away as the result of an ill-ad-
vised investment, the firms from
which he had purchased goods
through the years had such conf
dence in his ability as a merchant
and his worth of manhood, that
they made it possible for him to
proceed just as he had been doing
in previous years. Such probity as
he possessed, the wholesale mer-
chants thought, was worth another
effort and he was rewarded through
the favors they extended. This only
comes to the stamp of such men as
Mr.. Settergren-th who meet
adversely with candor and integrity.
The business circle has lost most
valuable member as a result of his
passing.
Would that more young men
would emulate his energy for work.
He found joy in the task before
him and was not only anxious but
earnest in fulfilling his obligations.
He found time for recreation, in
travel or a sojourn in another cline,
and this seemed to stimulate him
to greater effort-just as it should.
He lived mainly for his family,
for his business, and for his church,
and in all these associations
and among many friends there is
regret and sorrow that he has pass
ed from among us.

Dutch WndnliILs
Being Wrecked

Almost every one in America is
familiar with the picturesque form
of the Dutch windmill, but not SO
many, perhaps, are aware that this
beautiful feature Of the Dutch land
scape seems doomed by the intro
duction of modern machinery, and
may soon, along with the galleons
and square-riggers, become only
memory of the past. Already
many mills have fallen under the
hand of the wrecker The cause is
entirely an economic one, the pow
er-driven engines being more de-
pendable than the wind. 1t is Of
ten found necessary to tear down
the old mills and replace them with
modern factories or electrical
pumps and motors. Sometimes the
motor is put inside the old mill and
the wings removed. 1t is q sad
sight, mill shorn of its wings;
wingless eagle could not look more
forlorn. Nowadays mills destroy
ed by fire are not replaced; the new
mill is almost invariably a modern
mechanical one.

Windmill in Holland" by Cornelis

THE CAR AHEAD

I'LL AE1lN E1E lLAE1D
Try character reading through
the backs of automobiles.
A car sprawls all over the high
way. 1t slows down to Is miles an
hoAr, then spurts along at 40. 1t
stays in the middle of the road
when you try to pass, or speeds up.
1t is a cloud of dust in the distance
one minute, an obstruction just
ahead the next.
The character reading: A young
man, not successful in life, as I'M
certain where he's going in bust
ness as he is on the highway; all
pep" and uncontrolled energy one
minute, all Slump" the next. He'll
never get anywhere. He's too care
less, opinionated, inconsiderate of
others.
Try another: The car rolls along
steadily. 1t stays on the right side
of the road. When you try to pass,
it edges little farther out of your
way. IT you are squirting" your
self, it is likely to catch up to you
again-for it comes right along, not
changing it's speed.
The character reading: A wise
young man or a middle aged or
elderly one, successful in business,
understanding life, one who has
learned the worth of quiet, steady,
endeavor, going along day by day
toward one goal; who has learned,
too, that others have rights and
that men do not succeed by block
ing the way of others.
You will find that inefficient, un-
successful, mediocre men block the
way of others, force them into dit
ches, cause accidents and trouble
on the roads as they do in life. And
you will find that those who sue
coed best in life are most consider
ate on the road-ready to yield,
most likely to be steady, safe and
fair.
And while you read the charac-
tiers of others, through the backs of
their automobiles, think about your
own, and how the back of your car
looks, to those behind. Milwau-
