When you grow weary of the boasts of men, Go to a tre€, my friend-one that has stood Long, patient years within a silent wood. Beneath its branches you will find again

A thine long lost. Trees ar€ content to be As God created them. No bough that turns Its golden thoughts to Autumn ever yearns Beyond a hillside's immortality.

Go to a tree in silence; you will find In the soft eloquence of bud and l,eaf Serenity beyond the voice of grief

And faith above the reach of human kind.

Man spends his noisy days in search of gain, While trees find God in sunlight, soil and rain.

M. Scruggs

My Town. It was Mr. Anon who wrote these interesting words: "My town is the place where my home is founded ; where my business is 'situated; where my vote is cast; $'her€ my children are educated; where my neighbors dwell, and where my life is chiefy lived. My town has a right to my civic loyalty. It supports me and I must support it. My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship; friendship, not offishn€ss; cooperation, not dissension; sympathy, not criticism; intelligent support, not indifference. My town supplies me with law and order, trade, friends, education, r€creation, morals, and the rights of a free-born American. Therefore, f should believe in my town, and work for it."

"Education," said Ramsay MacDonald, "is this. The educated man is the man with certain subtle qualities which make h.im calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of the word, in all the uUitt"* of life."

Henry van Dyke taught that difficulties build human character. He said: "No doubt a world in wh,ich matter never got out of place and became dirt, in which iron had no flaws and wood had no cracks, in which gardens had no weeds and food grew ready-cooked, in which clothes never wore out and washing was as €asy as the advertisements describe it, in wbich the right word was not hard to find and rules had no exception and things never went $/rong, would be a much easier place to live in. But for purpose of training and development, it would be worth nothing at all. It is the resistance that puts us on our mettle; it is the conquest of the reluctant stuff that educates the worker. I wish you difficulties enough to keep you well, and make you strong and skillful."

About thirty years ago I wrote in this column: "We will soon be building boards of all widths, thicknesses and lengths desired,'built-up and glued-up. There is a natural limitation as to how big you can cut boards from a tree, but there is practically no limit to the size of built-up lumber, strong, non-warping, beautiful in appearance, and practical for a thousand uses." Talk about understatements ! Glue and wood combined have far surpassed my most enthusiastic predictions. And you ain't seen nuthin' Yet.***

Automobiles are equipped nowadays with everything except intelligence. The driver must furnish that. His failure to do so is largely to blame for the shocking casualty reports about traffic accidents. ***

Newspaper advertising is merely the delivering of the 'advertiser's message to the readers of the paper. If you were to telegraph somebody for fifty dollars and didn't get it, you wouldn't blame Western Union. And the telegraph service is much like the newspaper. It is a vehicle for delivering the message and that is all that can be expected of it. The opportunity and. the service is all the advertiser pays for. The newspaper is not on trial. The entire burden is on the advertiser.

A practical sort of thinker was an attendant at a_ parking lot. One evening some special event was filling the lot with important-looking cars. They were received in line, most of the line being shiny big cars of expensive makes. Along in the line came a small and cheap jalopy. As the attendant took it over, he remarked to a fellow worker on the lot: "Mac, there's one*that's paid for."

I heard a man make a rather original talk on salesmanship. He told about the keeper of an aquarium who divided a big glass section into two sections by putting in a partition of clear glass. On one side of the partition he put a big bass, and on the other side a lot of minnows. For days ttre bass made a rush every time a minnow got close to the glass partition, and each time he got his head bumped by the wall he could not see. Finally he got tired of that game, and quit paying attention to the minnows. Then the keeper took out the glass partition, leaving nothing but water between the bass and the little fish, and they swam around as they pleased. But the bass never tried to touch them.

The speaker said that was a good story for salesmen to remember. The bass had become completely sold on the idea that those minnows were not for him, so he quit trying. Said the speaker:,"Take another try at that glass
