The peraonal equation ia the at rang- i

tact will knock off antogonism* when
nothing alee will. The loag arm "I
am holier than thou" attitude will
never laad to cooperation. If It leads
anywhere it will be towarda feuds.
If you are friendly with people only
when you expect to get something
out of them, and aee them as they
pas* you on the street only when you
want something, you are raising a'
barrier between yourself and others

Poverty and Plenty
POVERTY is the price paid for
wasted dollars. Plenty the re

Poverty or Plenty—which do you
