If some of us should sit down on
',aper the number of things, we have
tliought of in half an hour, when we
supposed1 ourselves to be writing a
, letter or reading a book, or working
a problem, in' 'algebra; we will have
an explanation of how we fall short
sometimes of the success we wished
to gain. If, when we are writing out
our equations, we arc thinking of
what we are going to' do with our
Saturday holiday, or mentally re
viewing a conversation we had with.
our parents before we startedte
school we will either fail to solv
. our problem correctly or it will take
nyich longer than .necessary to do so.
The mind that wanders is the mind
that accomplishes only a fraction of

EDITTORIAL.
To let other people do your think
ing for you will end inevitably in the
t
loss of the power to think for your
self. If you begin to echo the opin
ions of those about you instead of
forming them for yourself, the time
will soon come when you will not
know the difference between an opin
ion and an echo. Menial laziness is
.... the most difficult sort to overcome,
and real thinking is the hardest work
there is, soJhat a great many people
go through life doing as little think
ing as poss.He. It is possible to
make' a machine which will repeat
what some onehas. said, but it is out
, of J the question to make a machine
which will think,

"There's1 a door in the wall of ages-
A door .that no man sees ;. .
For the angel who writes- in the book
of time ' ' v -
Is the keeper of the keys. y
Once in the year it opens.
At the solemn midnight hour,
When the chidren sleep, and the old
clock keeps-,.
Awake in the tall church tower.
"The shadowy door swings open,
And a pilgrim enters in, " x
Eowed with a twelve months' struggle
In his -world of strife and sin.
Wave him a farewell greeting 1
lie will pass no more this way
This weary year, who must, disappear,
-In the haven of yesterday."

No "Catching the Measles."
When smallpox breaks out in
community it is the talk of a day, then
is forgotten. In former times the
measles cut no figure in local agita
tion. But- now, while they may not
know of smallpox in town, they do
know when measles is prevailing. It
causes a disturbed condition in the
public schools and keeps parents on
the anxious bench. But while a child
that catches the measles must con
tinue to fight it out! it, is now possible
for a child to ltia'keitself immune
from the measles., A serum of pre
ventive characteristics is at the ser
vice of the younger generation and it
is guaranteed that a child innoculated
will never "catch the measles." The
New York hospitals are using it on
children who have been "exposed,"
and it is said with good results. Al
most every one of us has experienced
the meanness of measles before pass
ing out of the door leading from the
stage of childhood, and we know
mighty well how we would have made
a break for the office of the serum
dispenser if a thing like that had
been known in our day. and time.

Airsl.ip Scores.
Many people can yet remember the
jood old clays of the hitching po;-,t in
town.'. The farmer coming in would
ride into the back lot and tie his horse
the the post, then go about his busi
ness. The ast was . alawys sought
put early on circus day in town, and
all would go well with the situation
in the back lot until the band came
playing along. Then the horse would
be seen -jerking, and pulling at the
halter until he broke loose, when he
would go scurryingon his way in
freedom, kickng uphis heels, waving
his tail and shaking his -mane. Some
thing like' that happened in aeronauti
cal circles in this country Wednesday
night. The people have heard a good
deal about the big airship called the
Shenandoah, which is being coached
for a trip to the North Pole. The
airship, of course, has behaved finely
in its hangar, the equivalent in Eng
lish to the barn, but an airship away
from home has to have a landing
place and the hitching post is the
most convenient form. So, a try-out
hitching post, was put up fqr the
Shenandoah and the. nose of the big
bag was tied to it, and all was going
as well as the horse tied to he hitch
ing post when no noise was being
raised. But the airship was tied to
the post just in time to catch trouble
in. the shape of siorm. It tore loose
from its 'moorings and went wildly
plunging, through the air. It was
dark, and the men in the. ship did not
know whether they were headed over
sea or land: But they knew how to
manage the huge craft with' more
skill than the . average man knows
how to handle z runaway horse. The
engines were worked ta their utmost
capacity and the craft was brought
under complete control. The navi
gators saw, when the storm subsided
and the skies became cleared, that
they had made a good guess in dis
tance and ciiieet'on and were hover
ing oyer the home base for which
they had steered the airship.
It was an enforced experiment of
the most perilous nature, but it served
to demonstrate one fact which has
been debated in the t public mind. It
prbved that it is possible to keep an
airship in complete control even un
der the worst possible : conditions
which could be encountered. The
mishap to the Shenandoah has re
sulted in arousing a greater degree
of confidence in air navigation by;
airship than could have been aroused
by a hundred years of argument not
backed by proof. Involuntarily the
Shenandoah underwent the most
territic -tcft imaginable. Exchange.
He Had the Car.
In honor of a recent visit paid to
his factory by a party of distinguished
Englishmen, a well-known Detroit
automobile manufacturer had a com
plete car assembled in something like
seven minutes. y .
Some weeks after this feat was
heralded in the daily papers the phone
at the plant rang vigorously. "Is it
ture that you assembled a car in seven
minutes at your factory?" the voice
ti sited .
"Yes," came the reply. "Why?"
"Oh, nothing," said the calm in
quirer, "only I've got the car." Sat

WILL SAVE
If you l:ncv that you. could pet several dollars
back for every dollar you invested it would not take
you long1 to decide, would it? You would invest at
once. '
Welrthat is just what you can do by investing in
the subscription price to yur Loeal Newspaper. It.
will be the means of saving you several dollars during
the year if you will allow it to do so. It is the best in
vestment you can make for the money.
Say nothing, about the local news it carries but
consider '.it just as 'a business proposition, a money
saver. .It carries the advertisements of the local mer
chants, and by keeping track of these jfrbm week to
week you will be able during the year to save yourself
manv times the cost'of the veaVs subscriotion in buv-
is td watch the advertising columns and the bargains
offered by your home merchants will allow you to
supply your wants at the bargain price;? they offer.
' This helps in another "way. It helps the local mer
chant to keep up his stock if you buy at home and
makes his a better store for your community. It helps
the newspaper business, wjiich is boosting your home
town every week- Bottrof these help you as they
help to make your town a liule better an'd that means
increasing the valuepi-ycrar property.
You get the i3ea ? Take your home newspaper as
an investment, not as a" sort of act of charity, but be
cause it will be worth real money to you: You can
make it worth more or less, just as you use it. But if
you depend on borrowing it instead of haying it sent
direct to you, there will be many times when it gets
around to you too late. Those who subscribe for it
and get it right away will have taken the bargain you
may want. Get your name on the list right away.

Betty Explains.
"Now, Betty," said her grandpa,
trying to be severe, "tell me why you
didn't put that dime into the plate at
church this morning. I like to see a
little girl give cheerfully and not let
her right hand know what her left
hand doeth." -
"Well, grandpa," said Betty, who is
very fond of candy by the way,
"that's just the .trouble. My right
hand thought my left hand was put
ting it in and my left hand thought
my right hand was and so between
the two of them it didn't get put in at
all." Boston Transcript.

Safety First.
There was a man in Texas who
went to a revival meeting, and was
pressed to repent. He wavered for
a time and finally 'rose and said:
"Friends.! I want to repent and tell
how bad I have been, but I dassen't
do it when the grand jury is in ses
sion." .
"The-Lord will forgive you 1" the
revivalist shouted.
"Maybe He will," answered the sin
ner, "but He ain't on that grand jury."
During the Discussion.
"Bah, you have no religion."
"Yes, I have a religion, but I don't
get mad over it.
