Every liuman being lives and moves

ninety-nine men out of a hundred

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
DIAGINAtflON
IN' ALL that bus to do with master
ful effort and extraordinary achieve
ment. there must first be in the mind
of the prospective operator an imag
inative activity.
In order to write a book or a play
It is necessary in the beginning of the
work of either, to set our Imagination
to work, ^ning carefully step by step
over the plots and characters, and pic
taring them to the limit of our ability
as they appear when they make their
obeisance to the public, for whose en
tertainment they have been produced.
This same principle applies to every
form of labor, whether by the hand or
tiie brain, the man or woman possess
ing the greater power of imagination
having a decided advantage over those
who constantly have to be told what
to do and guided at every turning
point.
The artist first visions his picture
before he mixes his colors and takes
up his brushes; the architect sees In
Lis mind the outward form* and pro
portions of a building or a bridge, prior
to making the preliminary sketches,
and so it goes at the start of every
thing created.
Without imaginative activity the
world would soon retrograde
Cities would become unsightly, there
would be no music or art, no schools
or colleges? nothing to give Inspiration
to the young and urge them on to sur
pass their elders.
Th:> force of wlH, unless It Is sup
ported by imagination, rarely accom
plishes anything above the ordinary ?
never pens a poem that will go down
mysteries, even to ^men who can con
jugate Latin verbs or know the names
of the Roman emperors In their
order.
It Is natural to desire long life. It
?Is pleasant to look forward to a
"green old age."
But these can be attained only by
men who know enough about their
bodily machinery to take care of it
properly, and to keep it op to the work
it Is called upon to do.
It Is not necessary or possible for
everybody to study medicine But
every man can, with little trouble
learn something more than how to
start and how to stop his own ma
chine. ? .
He can learn how to feed It, how to
exercise It, how to tell when some
thing is working wrong, and when to
call in the doctor, who is the technical
engineer of the human railroad.
If all men would do that there would
be far less work for the hospitals ?
which are the "shops" for human loco
motives, and the doctors would find
time to learn more about preventive
medicine, which Is the most important
branch of medical science.

pDAY BY DAY
I By DOUGLAS MALLOCH }
OTEE by step we walk the way,
Stair by stair we climb,
; Day by day we live ? today
Makes the sum of time.
All our yesterdays are done,
With their smile or tear,
, All our days are only one ?
And that day is here!
f i
Day by day, as chip by chip
Sculptors shape the stone,
In the moment's fellowship.
In the hours alone,
So we shape the thing we are,
Not the thing we seem,
What the yesterdays afar.
What tomorrows gleam.
Day by day! We cannot wait \
For tomorrow. We 7
From the present must create
All we are to be.
What we are to be depends
On no future hour,
But the hand that plants and tends
Now the opening flow'r.
Day by day we upward go.
So we build the staHr;
Do today the best you know.
Building firm and fair.
They who conquer In the strife.
They who win, are they
Who, through every day of life.
Do their best Today!

"Immigrants who think it is hard
to get Into the United States should
try to get out after once they are In,
if they wish to encounter a real prob
lem," said a native of Scotland, who
has lived In Indianapolis several years
and who has taken out his first natu
ralization papers.
The man wished to return to Scot
land to live, and several months ago
took up with the British representa
tives in the United States his proposal
to quit this country for his old home.
"I have been in correspondence with
several British representatives," said
the Scot, "and there seems to be an
endless amount of red tape in the pro
cedure. The British representatives
seem fearful lest I Jnay become a
charge on Great Britain. I have sworn

is 61 pounds a hive from 11,591 hives
In 2,143 apiaries. In 1921 the average
was 30 pounds a hive, from 10,329

JINX STRICTLY ON THE JOB
Good Reason Why Indianapolis Man
. Felt That His Week Had
Started Out Wrong.
This story has to do with a man
whose Christian name is Joseph and
who works at a factory down town.
Monday is wash day at his home.
That, be it remembered, was the day
when an explosion at "the Indianapolis
Light and Heat company's Mill street
plant cut off electric current from
many homes of the city. This man
arose somewhat earlier than usual,
helped fill the boiler with rainwater,
wheeled out the electric washer, and
tried to start operations. The washer
would not work. He spent two hours
trying to find what was wrong with
the washer, and finally gave up In dis
gust, going to work, and arriving late,
he found the power off there.
"H-m, that explains why I couldn't
get that washer started," he said. "It
surely started my week off wrong." ?
