Sign Posts ON Path to Success
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

to 'see our way" We have turned
the spotlight of right thinking on the
situation and it penetrates like an
X.ray.
We must follow this with the second
element, which is constructive think
ing We must begin Immediately to
find path that will not oRt lead us
out, but on to a higher plafe. We are
then ascending toward success. The
clouds either melt away under the
fright light" or else we rise above
them. In either event they no longer
dim our path. We can see clearly.
We are constructing because we are
not only seeing but making way.
The Fearless Step.
Obstacles also dwindle in size when
the focus of right thinking is on
them or we see that there is a road
up them leading in the direction we
want to so. Then we surmount obsta-
cles and with each step upward our
vision gets clearer. Our minds supply
more and more constructive material
from which to lay the stones of the
road to success. The initial process
in 'surmounting obstacles" is in con-
structive thinking. We must not only
see our way but we must make the
path by treading our way. There Is
JOY in taking such steps. The reaction
of constructive thinking Is satisfaction
mixed with pleasure.
Parents who build a home on right
thinking need never have fear of sue
cess. The foundation is sure. Happi-
ness and contentment are the very
framework and in it there abides
peace.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, August Is.

Astrologers read tomorrow as an
exceedingly unpropitious day. and
counsel caution in all matters Of i'm
portance.
Under this rule the mind may as
sumo a critical and fault finding atti-
tude which Is unfavorable to persons
in the home ,r in business associa-
tons.
The seers frequently have called
attention to the growth of egotism
and vanity, which will be more evil
dent while this sway prevails than
it Is at other times.
Campaigns against organized vice,
prophesied long before they were
started in any State. are to be wide
spread in the Autumn, when the West
will lead in great reforms.
Strikes are forecast in certain gar
ment making trades that will be af-
fected by a new fashion.
Speculation should be avoided.
Persons whose birth date 1t is may
have disturbing and puZzling events
to meet in the coming year which
should end happily.
Children born on that day prob
ably will be studious and of a
philosophical trend of thought. They
have the augury of prosperous lives.

BEDTIME STORIES By y. 1 svSe1ss

Mrs. Coyote started down the path, he
started up the path.
Now the memories of little bears,
like the memories of little boys, are
short. Finding he wasn't being chased,
he stopped Then very cautiously he
peered behind him. He saw nothing
of Mrs. Coyote, but he did see his twin
sister rolling and kicking up her heels
with joy.
Right away he became angry. His
sister had played a joke on him. 1t
was she who had pushed him and
given him such a fright. Right away
that little bear forgot all about Mrs
Coyote and everything else, except
getting even with his sister He stole
back. Then with an angry little grow
he jumped on her. When she felt his
sharp teeth and his sharp claws. she
squealed for a moment. Then she put
her own sharp teeth and sharp claws
to good use. My. It was dreadful:
They kicked and cuffed. and scratched
and bit and clawed. as only two little
cubs can.
Now, all this time Mrs. Coyote had
been badly upset 1t hadn't taken her
long to know that she wasn't being
followed Presently she stopped run
ming Then she heard the noise made
by those two quarreling little bears.
1t came to her just what had hap
pened. She knew that 1t wasn't
Buster Bear who had given her that
fright. but one of Busters cubs. The
thought made her angry. 1t made her
very angry indeed.
1t would have been bad enough to
be given such a fright by Buster Bear.
or by Mrs. Bear, but to be made to
run by two little cubs hardly yet be-
yond their milk teeth was more than
any self-respecting Coyote could bear.
Mrs Coyote snarled to herself. 'Ill
each those young cubs lesson" said
she. IN teach them to show some
respect TO their elders. I'll teach them
that they have no business over here
in the Old Pasture"
With the hair on her shoulders
standing on end and with her lips
drawn back in an ugly snarl, Mrs.
Coyote boldly advanced toward where
she could hear those two little quar-
reling cubs. When she reached the
place where she could see them and
discovered how very little they We're,
all thought Of possible trouble left her
They certainly were too small to fight
her and she would teach them a les
son they would never forget. Without
even looking to right or left. Mrs.
Coyote hurried forward to a point
where, with a single leap, she could
land on those two little bears. And
still they didn't see her, or suspect
that she was anywhere near, and no
one but Sammy Jay saw some one else
looking on. 1t was Mother Bear

THE NEWSPAPERS PART.

Frequently we are so closely associated with institutions or a commodity that we do not appreciate their worth. This applies in general to newspap- CTS. Every city, town and ham, let has it's newspapers. Even sometimes a few houses and a store and garage at a "wide place in the road" provide ex- cuse enough for the starting of 8 newspaper and not infre- quently that wide place in the road becomes real town. And when it does one may rest as sured that that newspaper that seemed to have had no excuse for beginning life had a very important part to play in the community's unexpected de- velopment.
 So it is all along the line of progress. No city ever gets very far without the sincere CO., operation of newspapers. Yet no institution in a town or city ever gets less thanks or re- ceives more abuse.

THE MEANING OF THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Christmas as celebrated to- day, has drifted away from the deeper meaning of the birth of Christ. To be sure, thoughts turn more outward than in- ward; hearts overflow for the children; memories go back to the old fireside; sympathies go out to the "neighbar home" recently invaded by suffering or death.
 There is good fellowship, but not an equal amount of genu- inc good will; there is a deluge of friendly greeting, but insuf- ficient amendment of indiffer- ent conduct; there is much SUD- erficial amiability, but not enough true peace on earth"
 The Christmas spirit should be the peace spirit-peace in the heart, peace in the home, and peace on earth" Christ mas peace brings Christmas joy.
