crOaCAmenCS.
Nobody will take care Of
you If you don't take care Of
yourself" the Savers say.
"Nor appreciate you. If you're
too good-natured-do what every
one aSk-people will hold you
cheap. No one respects an Easy
Mark. Easy Marks always get it
in the neck.
Everyone will impose upon
you If you give 'em q chance.
You've gotta be ON your guard all
the time. You've gotta make
yourself difficult-and scarce.
If you don't, they'll all take ad-
vantage of you-and then laugh
at you behind your back.
TWO SCHOOLS
"And this" add the Savers,
applies to everything in life:
Particularly love. Anyone's q
fool who loves too generously.
Never let the Other Fellow be
too sure Of you-keep him, or
her, guessing. Never trust any
one too much.
People who love too much
or trust too much always have
their hearts broken. Save your
Self-Save your time and energy,
your love and faith and friendh-
ness, or you'll make a mess Of
your life"
But the other camp, the Civ
ers, reasons quite differently.
Live life recklesslyl" they cry.
Don't always be worrying about
yourself. Don't always be fear
ing that something will happen
to you or that someone will i'm
pose upon you.
LET yourself go! That's the
only way to get anything out of
life. Even II people do take ad-

vantage Of you, waste your time
and energy, that doesn't matter.
WEAKNESS and diSilluSion don't
matter. Life is the only thing
that matters, and you can't posi-
bly, live or get the fullneSs out of
life unless you let yourself go, re-
gardleSS.
"Give yourself! Give everything
you can of yourself. Give all the
work you can, ali the faith you
can, all the love you can. For you
get out of life only what you put
into It; you get in proportion to
your giving.
Giving may make you tired and
angry and heartSick, but you al
ways win in the long run. Every
time you" give, you grow bigger,
stronger, wiser.
OLD ARGUMENT
People who give themselves
have wide, deep, rich lives. But
people who save themselves shrink
steadily. They dry UP because
they're cutting off their source Of
supply and nothing new comes into
their hearts or their brains"
To save yourself? Or give your
self?
There's one Of the Oldest argu-
mentS on earth. Cain and Abel
started it Cain the cautious,
who stinted his thanks offering
to the Lord. Abel, the impulSive,
who gave the best he had, rob
bing himself that the altar might
be richly piled. God smiled on
Abel and, in his envy, Cain
killed him.
Yet Abel lives on in the minds
Of men, rich and joyous because
he triumphed over human petit
ness. And outcast Cain wonders
disconSolately down the lanes Of
time. wailing-
my punishment is greater
than / can bear!"
Yet again another stood, with
the shadow Of the Cross athwart
His trail. and heard men disput-
ing whether it was better to give
or to save oneself. to hoard life
or spend it in magnificent gen.
crosby and heroiSm. And though
He knew so well the awful price
Of giving, He cried that death
less answer
whatsoever will save his life
shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life. the same shall
save i'll"
TO save yourself? Or to give
yourself?
Look back over your own life
which course has proved the bet
ter bargain for YOU?

Job Of preserving the standard Of the milk supply used
10 wrestle with the problem Of price often.
On occasion the milk situation here has even drawn
the attention of Congress- inquiries into production and

committees.
So far as can be recOUected none of these UGriOUS
Inquiries and interUentiOnS has eUer resulted in
reduction of price to consumers although they fire.

Unquestionably the farmer deserves chance to make

that for the to pay more the consumer Is Will

But there in the local milk situation more factors
than the producer and consumer.
There are the health standards which MUST be pre-

mended that in the seven fat years
which preceded the lean years,
Pharaoh should take up the fifth
part of the land of Egypt"
But Joseph was no believer IN
the economics of scarcity" He
didn't want to kill live stock OF
plough under crops.
"And let them gather all the
food of those good years that
come" he said, land lay up corn

let them keep food in the cities"
Joseph was probably the only
successful brain-truSter.
Pharaoh took his advice.

dearth was in all lands; but in

Good times came again, and
Egypt was rich with corn and

would be followed by seven lean
years.

Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings has a healthy respect
for grand juries and q penchant
to kid newspapermen. At q re.
cent press conference he was
being questioned rather closely on
the scope Of certain criminal in
veStigationS in the States. Twice
he answered along this line:
"A grand jury Is a wonderful
institution. One thing leads to
another. Once yOu start . grand
jury you never know where it
viii end"
One Of the reporters still wasn't
satisfied, so he asked the Attorney
General If he meant by his state
ment that a certain grand jury
would broaden its investigation.
Said Mr.. Cummings:

have to use your own deduction.
