A pine cone is a plummet which the tree Points to the earth wherin the strong roots lie, A-retrospect and pregnant prophecy Of days to come,.when boughs-will-brush the sky. From the cones tip, uncurled the spirals twine And widen.out in ever gracious sweep, Of long, far-reaching yei.returning line, To catch the great stars in an upward leap. So, looking back to that primevit slirrre

Whence faint life sprang,-I trace a widening curve, ]l_p to that surge, whose lines in coming time May reach to splendid planets, and not ir.rr,. To break the lengthening line of life-to-be, A line which gathers in eternity.

(By Mrs. Mary Bulkley, age 75.)

Henry Ford once said: "The man who cannot think is an uneducated man, regardless of how many diplomas he may possess."

'We have heard much of freedom and liberty lately. It was Brand Whitlock who said: "When you define lib6rty you limit it, and when you limit it you destroy it.,,

A Temperance speaker was describing how his life had been influenc_e_d by total abstinence. .,ydu know,', he said. "f am now chief of my-department. Three years ago there were two men in the office who held positions aboie mine. One of them was dismissed for drunkenness. The other was led into crime and is now serving a sentence in prison, and all on account of strong drink. So I ask you, whai has raised 11e to my present high position?" And someone roared out "Drink,"

Pt.ry now and then you meet a business man who seems seriously concerned about being a ,,Babbitt.,, Babbiti, you ktg,ry, was the service club enthirsiast whom Sinclair i*i. satirized in "l\{ain Street.', Don,t be that way; belong to your service. clubs, build up friendships with- your feilow busrn€ss- and professional men. If you hake the world iust one shade better to live in by so doing you rvill be just ihat much ahead of self-appoinied satiiisis who. when thev pass, will leave the world worse off by exactly the amourit of their board and keep.

BY JACK DIONNE

The man who doesn't understand the value of his service club, ought_to get out of it. One great thing these clubs have -dole. They have brought fellowship into- the business world that never was therJbefore. We have had religions for thousands and thousands of years and Christianiti' for twenty centuries, but we have only had fellowship ior a few short years. I\tany other great-and good thingi these clubs have done, but for this-alone the world should be eternally grateful.

Go on with your service clubs. Meet, call each other Bill and Joe, laugh, sing, eat, do some barber shop chords, listen to some snappy speeches, and go back to your work with your batteries renewed. They are the best of medicine for you and your business.

When the train pulls in and you grab your grip, And the hackman's there wiih hii frayed-but whip, You call on the trade and try to be gay, And all you get is, "Nothing doing today."

Then you're a Peddler, by Gad, you'rJa Peddler.

When you get into town and call on your man"Can't. you see any, Bill?", "Why surely I can," You size up his stock, make a very rough counr, And "Bill" presently says, "Send the usual amount." Then you'r,e an Order'Taker, by Gad, you're an Order Taker.

When you travel along and everything's fine, ____ And you don't get up 'til half-past nine.

When you see each concern and talk conditions, And write it all home with many additions; The-n you're a Traveling IVIan, by Gad, you're a Traveling Man.

When you call on your trade, and they talk "Hard Times," "Lo.wer Prices" and "Decided Declines." But you talk and smile, make the world look bright, And send in your orders every blamed nightl Then you're a Saiesman, by Gad,'you're a Saiesman. Author unknown.

A Businessmqn's Proyer

Teach me that sixty minutes make one hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hundred cents one dollar. Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow, and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain.

Grant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square, and that, in earning it, I may not stick the gaff in where it does not belong.

Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellows, but reveal to me my own.

Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, rvho has been a blessing to me, I shall have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh with my children.

And, when comes the smell of flolvers, and the tread of soft steps, and the crrrnching of wheels out in front, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple-HERE LIES A MAN.

George Evons I sent and goes out against his will, and the trip between is quite rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the features of the trip. When he is little, the big girls kiss him; when he is big, the little girls kiss him. If he is poor, he is a bad manager; if he is rich, he is dishonest. If he needs credit, he can't get it; if he is prosperous, everyone wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics, it is for graft; if he is out of politics, he is no good for his country. If he doesn't giv_e to charity, he is a stingy cuss; if he does, it is for show. If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religion, he is a hardened sinner. If he gives affection, he is a softhearted specimen; if he cares for no one, he is cold-blooded. If he dies young, there was a great future for him; if he lives to an old age, he missed his callirg.

If you save your money, you're a grouch.

If vou soend it, vott're a loafer.

If you git it, you'te a grafter.

If you don't get it, you're a bum.
