Are you sure that you are get ting the best out of life? Are you living your own life so that the world-the community in which you live-is better be- cause you live there? It is ad- mittedly not easy to radiate happiness if one is not physic- ally fit, but who has not known sick room that has proved a veritable benediction because of the cheery way, the daunt- less courage, with which its oc- cupant faces physical suffer- ing? It is not easy to be gay when the pinch of poverty is felt, but we all know people whose cheerfullness puts to shame some of those who are well-blest with this worlds goods. It all depends on one's attitude toward life. The heart and mind determine whether one is a blessing to the com munity or a curse, or merely neither one nor the other.
 To get the best out of life, one must forget self. The greatest happiness is to be found in service-glad, willing 9ervice to loved ones, to the home, to the community or to the state. This principle is as old as the Golden Rule, but it needs constant reiteration.
 Life today is complex. Even in the country it is not nearly so simple as it was quarter of a century ago. The mad rush after money affects even the Iuiet places, and one is apt to feel that \ individual effort counts for naught. It counts for everything! A community 8 but a group ofndividuals. If they work together the com nunity thrives. If they work against the common good, it fails.

Once upon a time a bright paragrapher wrote: "A mans mail will reach him when nothing else can." Somehow the saying lived and flourished for a while and then died. It died because it was not wholly true. Admitting, however, that it is true that a mans mail will reach him when nothing else can the rub" comes when we aHalyze the meaning of reach hiGl IL is true that most men open their mail. For a good many years the mail-order houses have existed on the strength of that fact. But ad- verti. g must do more than '1rea h. g person. 1t must reach his needs, his sense of fairness, his de Ire and interest, and the conveniences of his pocket book.
 For every mail-order advertise ment that actually reaches the spot, that is, makes a sale, the newspaper can with eminent fairness claim a much greater result. The newspaper actually reaches" it's readers and the buying public. It is handed from busy father to busy mother. The young men and young women scan it. The children peruse it. The news paper is given credence be- cause it is strictly 9 home pro- duct. It is, or should be, reli- able. It is a part of the com munity where it is established. 1t is lone of the family" If a man will walk a mile for a camel" or a match, he will, So far as inclination goes, walk five for his favarite newspaper.
 What, then, has the newspap- CT to oppose? Really nothing. Who, then are the news papers competitors? Strictly speaking. nobody. The news papers field is wide, with the conclusion of its possibili- ties unreached. No form of ad- verti5ing ever has, and none ever VII, measure up in value to that of,the home newspaper. So we might we'll conclude by inventing this one: a mans mail will reach his waste-bask- ct when nothing else will.

Berlin. June q Upl-The vast landed estates and properties of William Hohenzollern and other former German rulers are safe from contiscation. A national referendum to decide whether the properties should be appropriated by the state failed to bring out m affirmative vote of half Of the eligible electors, which was necessary under the law.
 l. would have required an affirma- tive vote Of about 20 million 10 take away the holdings of the former rul- tive vote was 14SS9,703 and the negative vote 542.S11.
 Fully 50 per cent of the eligible voters remained away from the polls while 35 per cent endorsed uncondi- tional connscation. More than 5o0,- 900 ballots were declared defective
 Bavaria and other nationalist strongholds rejected the confscation proposal through abstaining from voting the industrial centers. such as the Ruhr and in Saxony, gave the proposal its chief support.
 In President Hindenburgs home town, Hanover. there was vote Of 1i6,5S4 in favor Of taking away the properties. This was slightly more than half the number of the eligible voters. President Von Hindenburg was a bitter opponent Of the measure.
 Recently in a personal letter he
