A well-known newspaper columnist recently
stated that an optimist is one who, while feeling
that the world is going to the dogs, starts another
dog food factory. This illustrates the saying that
while a pessimist sees a difficulty in every op
portunity, an optimist sees an opportunity in
every difficulty. The pessimist chooses to be
cloud his life with the dark side, while the opti
mist is always able to look on the dark side hope
fully, remembering that all bright pictures have
had dark backgrounds. The pessimist says, "If I
don’t try, I can’t fail.” The optimist says, "If I
don’t try, I can’t win.”

Americans, who drink 115,000,000,000 cups of
coffee every year, don’t produce an ounce of cof

coffee drinkers, because with farm land and labor
costs where they are, coffee raised in the United
States would have to sell for at least $6 a pound
even if it would grow in our climate.
A Geneva, N. Y., eight-year-old, finding he had

cut took all day.
