. Public Spirit . .,
Not every man believes that what is good for
lthe whole community is good for, each of us indiI .vidually. In the degree in which this truth is l-iunderstood do we measure the public spirit of

Jbecau, ihJhinlc they are giving irpsomo f
v their personal "gains without getting anything in
'return. ';v f v The success of many civic movements is deV feated by men who cannot rise beyond the dici; turn, "What is there in it for me?" They refuse
to engage in an enterprise which will bring happiness, success and prosperity to others. They confine everything within the radius of selfish interest. Public spirit does not expand and grow if persons are unwilling to participate in projects that benefit the whole community. So long as per
sonal gain and individual returns are kept uppermost in mind in the consideration of every enterprise, the community lags in the execution
of public movements.
Some persons capitalize on public spirit because they believe their personal participation will reflect itself in increased personal gain.
They want to see their names on committees, they want to take the floor, not for the purpose of serving their fellow men, but to be personally conspicuous. Real public spirit does not vaunt
itself, nor seek glory. The impostors who try
to capitalize on this form of popularity are soon
found out. The public quickly detects the rogue, no matter how effectively he tries to disguise
his motives, and presently he finds himself rele gated to the rear, forgotten and spurned.
SHADOWS HELP US SEE LIFE'S BEAUTY " By George Matthew Adama
u
A friend once admonished me about wasting my time and films taking a picture where there were no shadows,. Why? Because by shadows alone Is the picture made rich! I love to watch shadows. Recently I watched them for hours as my train sped across great plains and these massed shadows rested like vast blankets over barren hills and extending formations of rock. Again I watched them as they crept into the deep valleys of high mountains whose white peaks emphasized the contrasts that this play of nature brought abou. And then I havo stood and feasted upon these shadows as they have been cast from 6trange and spreading trees. How interesting and each shadow changing every Recond. Never is a shadow the same but for an Instant.- . - I thought of the shadows that come across our lives. Can we not learn a little from this master in nature? Shall we do what nature refuses to do allow these shadows to darken our lives throughout the days that we tread the trail? Or shall we let them pass and later mingle with the golden rays of the- new mornings as they come to lift us out of our sleep into work and beauty of service? - Suppose there were no shadows In nature and suppose that therewere -no shadows or misfortunes in our lives. Would we be equal to these dally tasks that sometimes try U3 to the very bones of our makeup? Shadows grow very deep and their length far outstretches our own little frames but If we drink from the spring of our courage and faith, we shall have our driest thirst quenched and then, we shall be able to understand that beautiful phrase. "Joy cometh In the morning!"

Files and Waste Paper Economy Introduced at Washington to Save Enormous Expense in Printing Bureau of Government.
"The only force that can be relied
upon to serve the purpose of the state
is civilly organized force, Bald David
Hill, former United States ambassa-
7ZZ7-Zr dor to the Netner-
. -V 7 lands and Ger
many.
"Civilly organized force is force re
lated to 'the needs
of law and order, permeated by the
ideas of law and order and held responsible to them by sustained civil authority. Without this the modern state becomes impossible, and any a u g m e n tation of public force beyond
the public needs, and long continued separation of it from the jural con
sciousness of the nation, must inevitably tend to render the state less potential in the accomplishment of its
purpose. I believe that public force in excess of what is justified by public necessity is in itself a menace to the
state."

The contractor who is awarded this
waste must remove it at frequent in
tervals, as it accumulates during the period his contract covers. If he did
not, the government printing office would be literally crowded out of its buildings; its waste basket would grow
bigger than its shop.
' During the war when a special effort was made by the civil branch ot
the government to economize, a good deal of paper-was saved which, in or
dinary- times, is thrown away. William C. Redfield, when secretary of commerce, started a useful fad which saved the government probably thousands of dollars. He gave Instructions that for inside office memorandum use and the passage of notes between of ficials of his department, waste paper
should be utilized. Much of the government printing is done only on one ide of a sheet. Mr. Redfield had his department provided with supplies of such printed paper after it had served the purpose for which it was first used and his office work was done on the blank -reverse side. Other officials of the government took up the plan and no taxpayer can have any just complaint of waste of paper in the government departments at Washington during this period. Not all of this war economy has passed out of fashion. It, will be recalled that the fuel and food administrations, the war industries board, and a score of other governmental organi
zations were In existence during th war. They all had stationery printed Now that they have gone out of exist ence, it would not be surprising ifall the surplus stationery printed in their names were scrapped. But in the in
terests of economy, all of it has been reprinted. A slug nas been printed across the names of the defunct board; and bureaus and r beneath them the names of active offices have been printed. In this way. much waste ls
