Troop Mora hi
KENTUCKY. National Guardsmen moved secretly Into Manchester, Ky, to carry out an order to "clean up"

In the United States." The troops descended upon the town In the early moraine; hours in a surprise move by
Got. Baby Laffoon to break op an alleged aotomoblle theft ring and end other lawlessness. The town is prac
tically under martial law, and Brig. Gen. Ellerbe W. Carter la In command. - Photograph show an air view

DANNY MEADOW MOUSE
VISITS THE SMILING POOL
DANNY MEADOW MOUSE had
taken it Into his funny little
. head to go over to the Smiling PooL
Just why be did It nobody knows.
Perhaps It was he wanted to con
sult Grandfather Frog, who,, yoq
know, Is accounted very wise. Per
haps he wanted to call on his big
cousin, Jerry Muskrat Perhaps It
was because he felt uneasy and
"What Are You Doing Over Here,

wanted to go somewhere for a
Change of scene. Whatever the rea
son, Danny unexpectedly appeared
one morning on the bank of the
Smiling Pool.
- The very first person he saw was
Grandfather Frog, sitting on bis
big, green Illy pad. "Good morn-
ing. Grandfather Frog," squeaked
Danny.
! Grandfather Frog turned about
In a funny little hop of startled
surprise and blinked bis great, gog-
' fly eye at Danny Meadow Mouse.

, ' - voice. "What are you doing over

dont look a day older than when
I last saw you." v;:;, a..-'''
t "I' dont feel a day older," replied
Grandfather Frog, and his voice was
not quite so gruff. "' Yen see. It
rather tickled him to be told that he
looked no older. "Of , course Tm

tinned, "but Just the same I think

The quest of gold la almost al-

prise gold humeri.
If youread over a list of the men
of great wealth in this country you
will discover that very few of them
made their fortunes In gold hunting.
. The vast majority are men who
have had the vision to see the na-
tlon's need and what Its require
ments soon would be, and made
ready to supply them.
Such. men -are. worth more to
nation than'all the gold hunters who
have ever lived. . , , , -,
It is they who have built fac
tories and railroads and steamships
who have developed the resources
of the country, and who have helped

' Gold Is merely a commodity. Yon
can't eat It you can't build houses
of It you can't spin the material
for your clothes out of It , .; ?
If all the steel In this country
could by some1 chemical process or
other be turned to gold, the courf
try would soon be In s bad way.
It may admire and love the gold.
But It can't get along without steel
Nor can it get along without
bread, or brick and stone for build
ing houses or medicines to restore
to its proper' condition your body
when you are UL ' , ,
All that gold is valuable for Is
Its price. ' .
Destroy all of It In existence, and
the world would soon arrange to
get along Without it , -
If you' are eager for riches, find
them in some activity which Is of
real solid intrinsic value to the peo
ple around you. ,
If you have the right kind of
wealth, you. can buy all the gold
you want for you really want only
the trinkets that are made of It and
the value that Is set on R by peo
ple to whom It of Itself,. Is of ex
tremely little use,

I once heard a managing editor.
speaking Of three, or four men he
had dismissed, say; . '
7 can't have a lot of clock watch
ers around here. l ; t '
'A man who keeps his eye on
the clock doesn't have his mind en

But when they are so Interested
la what tljey were doing that they
will work a few hours over time, If
Deed, be, I know they are the right

move them up to better places."
The - attainment of any sort of
success Is never easy and has nev
er been easy. '
Ton may forget men of special
talents, who rise rapidly ( without

Figure that you are Just an av

You cant work for any boss with

But you can't fire yourself, and
get a new self, to go on with.
In hard times it la the nenjlgent
