Poverty and Prosperity

Somewhere in the obituary Of al
most every successful American you
Will find this sentence: "He began life
poor boy" Our great men seem to
have had positive genius for pick
Ing out poor parents. Although pow
erty at birth Is looked upon as an as
set rather than liability, most sue
cessful Americans, notwithstanding the
tremendous advantage poverty gave
them, began to hustle for riches at an
early age. Being born poor may be
an asset, but it becomes a liability If
you stay that way. When you are a
pink, stub-nosed baby being carried
around. on pillow and exhibited to
the neighbors you are fortunate II
poor. But. you. are great deal more
unfortunate If you remain so.-Arkan-
sas Thomas Cat.

"sUPERIoR" WOMEN

Evidently woman is never to have
her chance to be the "equar OF man.
She must, perforce, be his superior.
Once she was his ostenslDle su-
perior by chivalry; now she has to be
his actual superior by necessity.
Schools and colleges are making her
ON the average the better educated.
She has to live up to that.
And now modern improvements are
depriying her of common labor, leav-
ing her the choice of uncommon labor
or the stagnation of loafing. Even
home cooking is threatened by estab-
lisbments offering to deliver cooked
food. hot and ready to serve, on tele-
phone order. If you doubt this stroll
into a popular delicatessen on Capt.
fol street shortly before the lunch
hour or dinner hour and watch the
tbrongs of women gathering up ready
made cooking and hurrylng nome IN
their automobiles.
The common man, with no lmaglna-
tion. can still get common Jop, with
no inspiration in it. SO he plods his
wav through life, uninterested, but
busy and useful.
Except for equally dull labor out
side the house there will soon be no
similar opening for the woman OF no
imagination. She will have to do
something higher or nothing. She
will have to be superior to most men
or she will have nowhere to go.

BE A LAND OWNER

President Coolidge gives seven rea-
sons for buying bit of this country.
Think them over. He says:
To own bit of earth gives a feeling
of independence.
This feeling is the most powerful in
centive to high civic interest and use
fulness.
Home ownership fosters high tradi-
tions of integrity and service.
1t develops respect for the rights of
others.
1t creates the habit of cooperation
for worthy deeds.
Its enterprises and common sacri-
fees give the children sturdiness of
character.
The American home is the source of
our material well-being.
There they are-all seven of the
reasons. They are sound and sensible.
He speaks first of the independence.
Robert Burns, Scotlands greatest
man, calls us to the glorious privilege
of being independent He wrote a
poem about it that every Scotchman
knows.
The president speaks next of the
incentive to interest and usefulness.
He knows man begins to think about
government and public affairs when
he has a stake in that government.
And he has stake in America when
he owns a bit of it.
1t develops respect for the rights of
others. When we own land we have
taken on rights and selfrespect. From
that we proceed to understand that we
must give others, in similar position,
rights and respect.
The president says it creates the
habit of cooperation for worthy deeds
There cannot be much cooperation in
community affairs among men unless
some are home-owners.
Character is built in the home. The
character of children is formed in the

ARE YOU A CAPITALIST?

Everybody who works and saves
something and builds a home or lends
his savings to some industry to be
used in production is a capitalist. A
member of labor organizations which
have banks and other assets is capi-
talist. Every individual who has a
savings account is a capitalist. The
greater the supply of capital, the
greater will be the demand for labor
to make use of that capital.
'If capital is scarce and timid, the
demand for labor is less" says Chas.
H. Carson of the American Bankers
Association. 1.-THE more productive
capital there is, and the more it seeks
to be used, the more authority does
labor exercise in it's demand for
wages"

TRANSIENT HABITS

Little Willie develops habits, nearly
all of them annoying. He says
"Huh?" every time he is spoken to,
although he hears quite well. He
shifts at regular intervals. He scrapes
his feet. He giggles at the end of each
remark.
The parents of Willie, being normal
great and good man, are greatly
worried and perplexed. They scold
him for the good of his soul. Perhaps
they spank him. And in the course OF
time Willie drops all of the objection
able habits and develops new ones to
take their place. These thrive for
month and day and are discarded in
their turn.
The seedlings and spankings may
have been good for Willie's soul, but
except as exercises in parental love
their immediate worth was nil; for
Willie's habits are transient things,
and he outgrows them naturally and
as inevitably as he outgrows his gar
uents
The very fact that he acquires
faults and quits them, with or without
parental assistance is proof of growth.
And herein is sufficient basis for
the hope of those who do not despair
of the human race. The follies and
the frenzies of today, with or without
the assistance of reformers and critics,
will go the way of Willie's habits, for
the race is growing.
People no longer chase witches;
slavery is history; the hustle and the
stiff brown hat lie in the attic;
whiskers are eliminated; red plush
upholstery and golden oak furniture
have had their day; lynchings are
generally frowned upon; people are
no longer afraid of night air; employ
ers no longer expect their workmen
to jerk forelock; there is no more
dope in the patent medicines; the
gold-brick game has played out.
The follies Of today are just as num-
erous as the follies of yesteryear but

daily contact of home life. 1t is likely
to be happier home if we who live in
it own it and love it. And happy
home is the great fashioner of char
acter.
The president says the American
home is the source of our material
well-being. That is easy to prove
America has more wealth than any
other nation. And we are the greatest
nation of home-owners.
Buy land. Get a stake of your own
ir your common country.

lengthy annexcs was delivered at the
offices of the allied war committee, pre-
sided over bv Marshal Foch today
Copies of the document were immediate
ly forwarded to the allied government
The mission sets forth infull the
difficulties under which it worked, de-
claring that distractions placed by the
Germans in the way of the investiga-
tons absolutely prevented any discov'
cries by direct search Every disclosure
made. the report states, was the result
Of denunciations by PacifiSt workers III
factories where war material was being
turned out or by students who were
aware of training operations in univer-
stiles.
The most important Of the twelve an
nexes, each dealing with special fea-
ture Of the missions work, are those
relating to military training and the
number of men in Germany being fit
ted for arms service contrary to the
treaty of Versailles, and to German arma-
ments In spite Of the obstacles placed
in its way the mission declares it sue
ceeded through suggestions furnished by
German pacifists in obtaining detailed
information of the greatest Importance
on these two points.
A mass of detail is given in the re-
port which in the judgment of those
