'.nr.-wny pruayr That's a question which countless school boys have asked and myriads of adults have not yet answered it satisfactorily. If you study merely to acquire knowledge, only to store your mind with isolated facts, only to have a 'smattering of a subject, you are wasting your time and effort. - v The real purpose of study is to empower you to do your work more intelligently and more effectively. If it does not serve this purpose, it is not helping you -as an individual or the community in which you have your residence. That implies the necessity of studying according to a plan fori a definite purpose. The boy with a mechanical bent of mind, who wants to be an expert mechanic, should not be wasting his
energy to master languages to the detriment of his progress in mathematics or drafting. Before him should be a plan, possibly prepared by his teacher or adviser, outlining step by step not only his study but also the collateral reading. If he follows this zealously, he will be training hH mind in methods that will enable him to do his work effectively. An adult whose school, days are behind him usually has less method in his reading and studying than has the boy who is under the direction of a teacher. The adult wanders here and there in his reading, usually pursuing no definite plan, and reading only for general information and recreation. Too seldom does he outline a course of reading on some topic, related to his business, trade or profession, and then methodically exhaust its possibilities, so that at the end of a few months he can look back upon a task well performed, and with enriched mind be able to perform his daily work better and with less effort. Methodical study is not so difficult as many of us imagine it to be.. After one has outlined a plan, only a little determination is needed to adhere to it. A little time devoted to it in spare hours will at the end of three or four months, or at the end of a year, amount to many hours of genuine profit-taking study.
When a Feller Needs a Friend

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew, Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" TRUE BLUE It takes a MAN to stick through. If I had the choice between brains and loyalty, I would choose loyaltyevery time. There Is something about loyalty that makes me think of the rainbow it contains all 1 he colors of character. It seems to be a primary virtue, too. The mother has it to the nth degree. - The dumb dog looks honestly into your face and you know that he would risk his life for you at the drop of the hat. ,A friend honored me by dedicating his book to me once, and this is a line taken from that piece of thoughtfulness: "He sticks to his friends through thick and thin." Whenever I think of that line, I think of my unworthiness as a friend, yet it inspires me to try to be one more than ever. I have been highly favored with true blue friends. Their loyalty to me is more than any amount of fame or wealth that could ever come to me. You can't buy loyalty. It never sells out! Loyalty always brings happiness and frequently the other things you most desire. Loyalty is the spring in your heart that never fails to quench the thirst of your soul. It even flows on into Eternity. It's a homely virtue. And you hear a great deal about it but those possessing it express it without talking about it. And remember this, It's the true blueness in you that attracts and holds the loyalty that comes to you. When they took the Man of the Cross down from where they had crucified Him, it was the Mother who attended Him first, and another woman whom He had befriended loyal to the end. Judas was far removed, to where he could count the thirty pieces of silver he had received for his act of betrayal. Your life will always be filled with moments of indecision. Sometimes it will be money, sometimes fame that will tempt you. But ask yourself first before you make your decision: Will it be a loyal thing t0 jo either to someone else or to myself? Stay true bluel

"Why do you think a classical education is not desirable for your boy, Josh?" "Folks don's appreciate it," replied Farmer Corntassel. "I never yet saw a summer boarder who was educated enough to hold his audience when a feller puled out a pack of cards and began to do his tricks." The conversation in the country club changed from prohibition to golf. "You Fay Mr. Dubwaite is afflicted with golf?" "I do." "Is that the proper term to use?" "If a man neglects his business, his wife and children and is changed from a smiling optimist into a confirmed misanthrope by golf, woult'n't you call it an affliction?"

I never make any Now Year's resolutions, because I know I would not keep them anyway. I never expect to realize my favorite ambition to own a pair of suspenders with each pair of trousers. " v A. Alexander Thomas. They have never discovered perpttnal motion, but a lot. of peeTple have discovered perpetual rest. What is the proper height of a highbrow? We hav seen Honte men with Trows so high they"-are scarcely able? to reach up and tip their hats, and yet they havo not been remarkably clever.

TAINTED MONEY J. Highbrow Jigsinith rides in state in his large limousine; he has the price, be pays the freight, he's loaded with long green. Bystanders view him
as he goes, and mutter, while they look, "He looms Hp big and yet he knows that he is but a crook." They sadly murmur as they gaze, "He is the
chief of sharks; he got his money swindling jays and rubes and easy marks." Th people dwell his deeds upon, and all his deeds they know; they know his record pro .nd con, and also to and fro. And so whenever he appears, as Bungtown's one best bet, they dig up from the bygone years the things he would forget. I often think, when sawing wood, at fifty cents a cord, that it is better to be good and gain a small reward. I'd hate to own a stack of brass, and Croesus-like appear, and have men whisper as I pass, the things I'd hate to hear. I often think, while herding ducks, or drinking drug store fizz, that counties rolls of shining bucks won't buy the best there is. A massive fortune costs too much, and twice too much again, if the possessor gets in Dutch with honest fellow men. J. Highbrow rides around in state, in opulence sublime; but had he always traveled straight he'd have a better time.
