who knew and loved him, told in unforgettable words. He said: "The doctors gave him up as a hopeless invalid at the age of 40, but HE LOVED LIFE, AND LOVING, AND LAUGHING so much that he stayed around until he rvas 89 before he called it a life." IIe was having too much fun to die, and those who knew him had fun with him, so he probably added*to*their life span also. Nice, eh?

MAKE NO LITTLE PLANS. THEY HAVE NO MAGIC TO STIR MEN'S BLOOD, AND PROBABLY THEMSELVES WILL NOT BE REALIZED. MAKE BIG PLANS. REMEMBER THAT OUR SONS AND GRANDSONS ARE GOING TO DO THINGS THAT WOULD STAGGER US. LET OUR WATCHWORD BE ORDER. AND OUR BEACON_ BEAUTY. * * * -D.

Recently when the two top Russians were visiting in England, there appeared in a Swiss newspaper, "Weltwoche," an editorial headed "Co-existence With Murderers," that said: "Those who kill one person are sentenced to death; but those who kill millions are being received by the English Queen." And, after enumerating some of the horrors the Kremlin has perpetrated, this weekly newspaper contends that "with such a band of malefactors," there cannot be a peaceful co-existence, but only a gnashing one'

When it came to describing h.uman beings, Eugene Field was a past master. Once when talking about mean folks, he said some people are so mean they "won't let their little baby have more than one measle at a time." Behind the iron curtain, there have been scads of such nice neighbors for decades past. ,F * *

Someth.ing to cling to and hope for in a troubled world was affirmed by a group of prominent clergymen in a report to the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches, when they wrote: "Because God has not abandoned this World, becaus€ He rules and overrules its tangled history, and because we have beqn given a share in the power of His Spirit, we can with confidence hope and expect that what is built upon the foundations which He has laid, will stand." ***

A man who makes a hit with me is the one who does good deeds privately and stealth.ily, the way others commit crime. Some men are just honest enough to keep out of the pen, and just smart enough to make all their charitable contributions publicly.***

According to "Texas Outlook," young farmers in that state are practical minded. One of them was asked in an exam: "FIow does one gain good posture?" And he answered: "Keep the cows off it and let it grow a while." ***

When a friend of mine died at the age of 89, the secret of his longevity was well expressed by a newspaper man

I recall another wonderful obituary written by one veteran newspaper editor about another who had crossed the river. The words simply were: "Dear old Jim! He was the disciple whom Jesus lov.ed !"

Ray Saberson says that the toughest time in the life of the average lumber dealer is when a guy with a bill of materials in one hand and a roll of good American money in the other walks up to his desk, lays down the material bill, and says: "Now figger, by gummy !" R"y says that how to handle this kind of a guy TOT..: a sales guide all by itself.

Get up right in the morning. Go to bed right at night. Start each day with joy in your heart, hope in the future, and kindliness in your manner. If it is a dark day, never mind; you will ligh.ten it up. If it is a bright day, you will add to the brightness. ff all of us would remember that happiness is from within and not from without, there would be a well-spring of joy in every heart, and the sun would shine forever.

The first great man in the world's history to adopt woman suffrage was Gautama Buddha. IIis memory should be well thought of by the female sex for that reason. The notion that women first won equal rights with men in the recent past, ignores history. For Buddha, founder of Buddhism, more than 500 years before Ch,rist, began admitting wom€n disciples into his free democracy of spirit on equal terms with men. History tells us that he finally did so after three times refusing to admit them. Like Caesar and the crown, the third offer was too much for the gentle preacher and teacher. But, although he then recognized women's suffrage in his growing organization, he took an awful slap at the fair sex in so doing, for he uttered the prediction that their presence in his order would reduce the life of the order by half, for, he wrote:

"As when mildew t"n. ln L.rU the rice is doomed, so when women leave the household life and join an Order, that Order shall not long endure." Wonder what old Gautama would think today if he could look this country over and see the part that women play in our national life? His opinion concerning the bad effect of taking in the women proved far wrong, didn't it, because the Order that
