THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Don't give up the ship" "Never say
die" and IF you don't succeed at first.
try, try again." are some Of the well
known sayings applicable to human de-
termination.
There is a phase of the matter. how
ever, which Is seldom discussed, and
which has few memorable sayings to
apply to 1t, since it is more private
and personal in nature.
This Is the feeling, which comes at
times to all men, that the daily work Is
getting to be too much to be borne.
The inevitableness of 1t, the simple
routine-these are matters to which
such mighty slogans as those instanced
above do not apply, exactly.
There Is nothing historic about this
feeling, and although the good slogan.
do not give up the ship" might be
used. it can be utilized only by a
stretch Of the imagination.
Determination of the good sort-yes.
1t Is needed. but there is somethint
more desirable
Never say die indeed.
1t Is not SO much a question of grand
determination as of the small personal
stiffening Of the backbone to carry on,
to see a thing through.
\ X
This is my work" let a man say
to himself, when he needs to.
1t Is satisfying thought.
Millions. indeed, would be happy to
be able to say it, in these times.
1t is only natural that at times the
routine should seem to be getting too
much for one.
That, unfortunately. Is one of the bad
effects of routine and order. even the
better sort OF routine and order.
Sometimes. but not always. 1t Is
necessary to go away on vacation.
Upon occasion, q walk around the
block will do!
This is simple expedient which
many have found to be highly efiica-
cious for this complaint.
Not all persons are situated so that
1t is available to them, but II 1t Is, few
cures are more sure.
1t does. in little, what the vacation
of several weeks Is supposed to do in the
large.
Intellectual work, In particular, Is
likely to reach throw up the sponge"
state
The more introspective it is, the more
sure the liability.
Many men and women, whose daily
task Is mechanical, do not know how
fortunate they are IN having their tasks
provided for them.
Nothing Is more common however
than for them to complain about this
very mon0tony.
A type of work which calls for some
thing of the self is great deal more
apt to bring about mental condition
which seems to call for rest.
Then it will be found, If one is willing
to investigate this matter-and many
are not-that the mind may possess its
own cure.
II the brain Is capable OF stultifying
ITSELF at times, it also is able to work
its way out of the difiiculty without
consulting any one else.
That many do not seem to know how
to achieve this result Is no proof that
others cannot.
The truth Is that every one knows
some one man or woman who Is able,
seemingly, to drive right ahead, day
after day, month after month, year
after year.
How do you do it?" is the question
most often asked them, and usually
they do not know how to make any
adequate reply. Or perhaps they have
discovered the futility. in the main, of
attempting to explain such matters to
such people.

There also will be spent around $780,

All these, Of course, point toward re-

will be raised by processing taxes.
In the same two years, about $40 ,000,-

efficiency.
The objective, as President Roosevelt
has outlined 1t to his aides, Is this:
First, to turn to pasturage or some
other use the marginal or submarginal
lands which cannot be farmed eco
uomically.
Second, to replace, on the average.
three acres Of that land with one acre
Of new soil that will produce less than
the three acres, but on q more soundly
economic basis.
Third, to hold production Of basic
commodities on all lands to q point
where they will cease to pile up
surpluses.
Dr.. Rexford Guy Tugwell, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, Is charged
with the arduous job Of harmonizing
the multifold Federal activities In this
direction. This means he must try to
balance the crop reduction program
against the research work, Federal aid
rigation and reclamation activities and
the Public Works Administrations
building program.
For instance. the Agriculture Depart
ment is paying benefits to farmers who
stop producing cotton, wheat, hogs,
corn, tobacco and other crops on poor
lands. At the same time. the Interior
Department and Public Works Admin
