Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER

RESPONSIBILITY \I MTTIIN the breasts of ambitious *’ youths of both sexes there is a yearning for the day when they shall be in a position to assume responsl- ; bility, buckle on their armor and march at the head of their own regiment. As tliey look out upon the vista of years confronting them, they dream of the worlds they shall conquer, and > the honor which shall be theirs when their hairs have caught some of the : whiteness of snow. It is good to peep into the future and venture a guess as to what it holds for brave hearts and willing hands. Those who do this in honor to themselves and their employers have within them the essence of which noble manhood and womanhood are made. They are not ashamed to toll and soil their hands, for they know that manual labor brings to the faithful a quality of content that cannot be attained by any other means. So they keep pressing toward the dream-city, eager for conquest and anxious to accept responsibility. What these ardent youths are doing now is well done. Each day there is j visible Improvement. In their work. They cut to the mark. It matters not that their friends are , few, so long as they are true. With 'such friends they are comfortable and I happy. Neither they nor their associates spend their evening hours in idleness. i They read and think, discuss the leading questions of the day. In this i manner they broaden their minds, sharpen their vision and strengthen ' their powers to reason. They dwell in contentment with the noisy world all about them, obsessed with the one idea of some day bearing

I ENOUGH | x — i t By DOUGLAS MALLOCH X J $ THERE’S a fellow higher up, and a fellow lower down. Skime have silver when they sup, There are others on the town. And somewhere in Between the two, Not up nor down, Are I and you. There’s a fellow who has more. There’s a fellow who has less; Looking other people o’er Were just average, I guess. Not rich nor poor Is what I mean But somewhere else .Just iu between. There’s a fellow with the gout. There’s a fellow minus shoes. When I have to move about Neither fortune I would choose. For you and I Are satisfied. Prepared to walk Or glad to ride. There’s a weary millionaire. There’s a man without a cent. In between the two somewhere We are mightily content We haven’t such A lot of stuff. Yet. thank the laird. We have enough. (® by McClur* Newspaper Syndicate.)

Entire candor and honesty regarding ourselves, instead of being the first, ia one of the last and highest attainments of a perfectly fashioned character, But though thia is true, it is also the beginning of ail well-doing; without some measure of it. even though weak and unsteady, no good thing can begin.—J.

responsibility and helping others to higher altitudes. ® The erring, thoughtless and pleas-ure-loving have no such Ideals. They have chosen their place among the shirkers and are alreadymarked by Time for the scrap-heap. And the conclusion of this is that only those who are willing to play the leading role in life, take the jars and jolts as they come, smile compiaeently on difficulties, are capable of going forth to conquer, being conquerors at this hour without suspecting it.

Reflections of a Bachelor Qirl Bq HELEN ROWLAND AMAN always lets somebody else do his worrying for him—but a woman" doesn’t need anj- help. This is an age of self-made men, machine-made laws. home-made drinks and home-made beauties. It isn’t tmtil after the smashup. that a man decidea that it rtqntfeß something besides brute force and determination to. run a motorcar —or a wife. It doesn’t take so very much low to “make the world go ’round," If you have plenty of money to oil the axis. “Leisure,” to a married woman, i* that sweet “pause in the day’s occd pation,’’ when nobody around th“ house can think up anything else for her to d<\ Yes, Mlllicent, the difference between the way in which a man tries to “persuade” you of something before marriage. and the way in v hi he will try to “convince" you of something after marriage, is sis great as the difference between the way be talks to a toddle-top. and the way he talks to a balky flivver. Every man fondly hopes to find a woman who will “understand” him, and who, at the same time, knows nothing of the world and its wickedness. , |; A compliment from |a husband would be as precious as pure radium, if he didn't always hand it to vou wrapped in the cotton-batting of “good advlcd.” ' • - A man’s love is not dead, until he begins to think of his wife, merely as the person who disturbs his morning beauty-sleep, and his after-dinner reverie|<. ’ .

Predicts the Passing of Billboard Advertising If one may Judge from advance hints casually dropped here and there, k the advertising men from the United States who are to visit England en masse during the coming summer* will be shown in a convincing manner the results of psychological researches made by British savants into a science and art of whfth the visitors themselves are generally regarded as the chief exponents. The experiments, which have been conducted on a wide as well as an intensive scale, will, it Is predicted, lead to the inevitable conclusion that before many years have elapsed advertising by billboards will have largely disappeared. The evidence regarding the billboard, at least, is conclusive, for the outcry against the desecration of rural scenery has led‘some of the biggest users of that method of catching the prospective customer’s eye to announce a speedy and wholesale withdrawal, on both sides of the Atlantic, of the occasion of offense. A sense of the artistic fitness of things on the part of the heads ofcorporations and other concerns, as well as a desire to comply with public sentiment and demand, was supposed to be behind this important decision, and due credit must be' allowed for so honorable a motive. In addition, however, it now ’appears likely enough that another compelling cause was a feeling of wasted effort and a realization that the billboard as a means of effecting sales was not all that it was expected to be, and did not, in fact, warrant the outlay it entailed. —Washington Post. Know Your Own Town First Tiie story & told <>f a city man who was put to a country cousin because the latter, in only a few days in the city, had observed more of the city's noteworthy features than the other. Then the city man had a bright idea and proceeded to quiz his rural relation. It developed that the countryman never took time to visit several spots of scenic beauty near his farm, that he had never visited another place of true historic interest only five miles from his land, and that, on the whole, he was Just as remiss in his appreciation of his own community as was his city friend. If the two had pressed their comparison a little further, no doubt, each would have found the other ignorant of some of the shortcomings of his dtvn community, too. What improvements were needed in sanitation, in the schools, in traffic regulations and so on, would probably find neither man so well informed or thoughtful as intelligent citizenship Requires. A know-your-nwn-town campaign would be productive of beneficial results in almost any community of any size.—Elkhart Truth. i z

Architecture Neglected Architecture is perhaps the most neglected, perhaps the most observed of all the arts. Magazines do not fail to chronicle the latest achievements in the field °f drama, painting, sculpture imd literature, and now moving pictures, our latest form of art expression, daily require more and more front-page space, due, in large measure, to the extra curriculum activities of their expo- . nents. But of architecture we hear 1 little except in the journals 4 devoted exclusively to the interests of the profession. writes George S. Chappell in the New Republic. This apathy on the part of the average man is often only his fear of- becoming involved In the technicalities of this most complicated calling. A conversation between brother architects frequently abounds in references . to such mysteries as spandrels, softits, pendentives, fenestration and architraves. which leave the casual listener cold not to say bored. Plant Trees That Fit If a cottage be modest, cozy, almost diminutive. It should not be frightened by the presence of somber old trees of architectural tone that will grow to gigantic size, dwarfing and lessening its original charm. Houses of medium size and yet simple, unpretentious design. should be surrounded by simple, dignified elements, such as a lawn with bordering trees and shrub masses, avoiding a show of overrich color or texture in plant materials —In short, the garment should fit the individuality of the structure. Mansions or homes of stately dimensions demand plants and flowers of dignity. Dense, upright growth forms, richness and fullness of nobility and masculinity of line, tone and color are their fitting accompaniments. Red Oak a Favorite The red oak comes nearest of any being the best shade tree for the eastern half of the United States, says the American Tree association of Washington, D. C. The red oak grows more rapidly than other oaks and adapts Itself to a wide diversity of soil conditions. Its trunk is straight and strong, Its top symmetrically oval or round, and foliage luxurious and turning a bright red with the approach weather. Producer.
