Petition for
of
For the past two
America has rolled
luxury. Money has
labor has been scarce
ican workman has drawn wages that
a few years ago would have seemed
fabulous.
Some laborers as a result are now
in splendid condition. Out of debt,
they own their homes, ara comfor
tably fixed and bid fair to srvmore
successful.
These are exceptions.
The average worker is in little bet
condition than he was when wages
were two dollars per day. He has
earned good money but wealth has
flown; he has spent it in riotous liv
ing; his shirts have been silken, his
hose the purest of fabrics, his food
of the richest. His bank account
now is where it was before the world
war and is represented by a zero
mark.
Far sighted men tell us that re
action from high prices must soon
set in. that there must be a return
to production, that In time economic
conditions will grow normal and
while it is hoped there will never be
poverty there must come a readjust
ment and prices and labor both must
fall.
This time may be months off, but
certain it is that money is not so
plentiful now as was the case six
months ago. Every few days now one
meets men without jobs, already
tramps have been in this city, the
first in three years. The handwrit
ing is on the wall so plain that a
wayfaring man though a fool may
read and understand.
If money is easy with you now,
commence to save it for wise men
are agreed that in a few months it
will be worth many times its pres
ent value in that its purchasing pow
er will greatly be increased.
Solomon points out that the ant
in summer lays in its stores for win

situation and see if you as well can't

FRUIT OF FAITH
An invalid boy in a Cincinnati hos
pital had been on crutches so long
that he was afraid to go without
them, even after the doctors told him
he could walk if he only tried.
(He was like those grown folks
who, lacking faith in themselves,
fear to stand on their own feet, lest
they fall).
Finally the doctors told the boy
they would give him a plot in the
hospital garden in which he could
grow. things good to eat. But every
day he would have to walk to the
garden without his crutches.
"I want to grow a muskmelon."
said the boy. And a wonderful
thing happened the day they gave
him the seed. He walked part of
the day to the garden without his
crutches!
(It is not thus with all of us? The
nore definite our object In life, th?
more confident our footsteps. The
aimless wanderer never arrives.)
And each day he walked farther
towards his garden plot without his
crutches until at last he discarded
them altogether.
The muskmelon he raised was a
poor, little, stunted thing, scarcely
fit to be eaten, but at the county
fair the judges awarded it first prize
because it was the perfect fruit of
faith.
"Two-thirds of failure comes from
the fear of failure," someone has
said. The greatest of undeveloped
resources is the human mind and
one does not find there what God
has given until, like the little boy,
he sloughs off fear and substitutes
"I will" for "I can't." Omaha News.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE
No matter how socially inclined
youare, or how many friends you
have, there are times when you must
be alone.
Your only company is yourself.
And unless you have learned to be
good company you will find that lone
someness is an intolerable bore.
To the man who has read and has
learned to think lonesomeness has no
terrors.
Waiting for a train, sitting alone
in his room at night, spending hours
in a journey through a desert, he
always finds himself good company.
Beware if you are easily bored by
lonliness. It is a sign of a very poor
ly stocked mind of a total lack of
imagination.
Wodsworth, left alone, could find
delight in remembering the beautiful
things he had seen in the world.
Bunyan, alone in prison, beguiled
the weary' hours by writing, out of
his reading and imagination, a book
that has endured through all time
Ir your mind is one that require
constant association with others or
some actual employment like readinc
or work to keep it from boredom it
is in need of repair.
Learn to think when you are
lonely to plan things that must be
done tomorrow or to reflect on what
you have seen or heard or read
Recall old journeys and exper
iences. Remember good novels and
plays. You can. if you will, have the
company of all your friends in your
thought. You can be good company
to yourself if you try.
Lonesomeness should never affect
you with depression. If you have
read and thought all your life you
will never dread being alone.
If you have not read or thousnt.

Listen., good
friends, and yon
shall hear why
some Cigarettes
are so all-fired
dear
SOME cigarettes arc packed in pretty
boxes that certainly don't grow on
trees. Next, they're dolled up and
flavorings are sure getting expensive.
And then, they're priced a bit high so
they'll seem "exclusive." But read how
Spur Cigarettes offer the highest possible
quality at the lowest possible price:
If there are any finer tobaccos from the
Orient and the good old U. S. A. than
those selected for Spurs, they must be a
secret that the world has never heard.
And when we got these combined in Spur
Cigarettess what do you suppose was the
result? Just the best taste and aroma
that any cigarette could give, and Willie
Doll-up or Freddie Flavoring hadn't a
thing to do with it.
Spur is "class" all through j
even tQ the smart "brown-and-silver"
package, triple-wrappedJ
that keeps Spurs fresh and fra
grant. Try out a package of.
Spurs. You'll say "made and
priced for popularity.'
