Err with every friendly deed, deeds will not come back to you, they will in one way or another, a hundredfold. Don’t be afraid of bein# too kind in this world, one must be a little too kind to be kind enough. Don’t be afraid to be real friend loyal, devoted and constant, for the kind of friendship you give is the kind you will receive. Finding this item in the Rose Dawn magazine, I thought it was a very good idea to follow for us all So it is copy written by Mrs. Ida Baynard, from Rose Dawn.

A NEW HOLIDAY August the first has been declared | “Friendship Day.” Just who declared it so, I don't know, but it is an excellent idea, with all the nations of the world eyeing each other in suspicion, with old Mars rattling his sword at a dozen places on earth, with a miniature world war raging in Spain and threatening to spread its madness to other nations, we are indeed in need of a "Friendship Day”. Capital fights Labor and Labor fights itself, hatred is fostered and spread through all the class. The Boss is hateful, the stenographer in his office is mean, Dad has a grouch, Sonny boy seems passed by Old Nick, even the family dog, usually gentle, shows si^ns of succumbing to dog days. It took a courageous soul indeed to proclaim August first, "Friendship Day”. But isn’t it a grand Idea? Isn’t It worthy of being passed ? Friendship Day has no commercial interests to

propagandize it that I know of. Threfore if it is to mean anything, it will require a little press-agenting from you and me. So remember the date and do your bit by being friendly to everyone—at least on just this one day. You may find it lots of fun. You may reap a rich harvest by gaining a life-long friend in return for just one day of friendliness. Think what you may have been missing. Look over the following seven "Don’ts:" Don't be afraid of showing yourself friendly, for only so do you show yourself worthy of friendship. Don't be afraid to forgive former friends who may have hurt you, call them up on that day and give them some friendly message. The object of your forgiveness may be unworthy, but that cannot mar the fineness of your pardon. Don’t be afraid of casting your pearls before swine, better that than to hoard your pearls until they rot unse’en. Don’t be afraid that you cannot the world better, for it becomes bet-
