With the Passing of His Fiftieth Birth
day Man Should Take 'a 'Few
Moments and Think Hard.
When you have passed, say, your
fiftieth birthday anniversary, that foxy
old gent, Mr. Time, puts the skids un
der you and -greases them good and
I plenty. .
i It Is appalling, then, how quickly
the days and the weeks and the months
pass. You start in on Monday morn
ing, and before you know it, it is Sat
urday night again. Even the years,
slip by as though you were riling
through life on a roller coaster.
The thing to do then, brother, is to
put on the brakes. Slow up and get a
little more enjoyment out of' the scen
ery. Some men think that just the other
way is the best method to.adopt, but
we are convinced that they are making
a mistake. Their idea is that the thing
to do when one grows gray and bald
is to keep up with the procession, wear
p'neh-hack clothos, silk socks and a
sailor hat with a polka dot band.
Rut, if you do that, all you achieve
is an acceleration of the pace. It is n
pathetic form of camouflage that de
rives no one, and yourself least of ailj

He Is the Man Who Sees Tendency cf
the Times and Helps Direct
It Correctly.
Who is he? A person who Leeps bis
ryes open and ku;vs what is goiiic;
on, and who issxerls si conviction fn.:::
what he sees. One may think it is verj
difiicult, considering the complexity
and multiplicity of events, to possess
oneself 'of a governing truth from t!r
driftwood of the rapldiy p:ssin-,
stream of things. I;ut that is not
what be has to do. If a person h:i.
to wait for every little particular 3:.'
wiil never reach n judgment or bclirf.
You can see such people ia a commu
nity, mere peckers of bird seed, fu':
of vapid talk -and controversy. Thi y
are no more agents of truth than OIo
Nick is.
-You don't have to inspect each par
ticular straw to see what a haystack
is. You can look at it, see its form,
understand its purpose, and know ail
there is in a haystack to know. So ::i
life, the small facts are endless and
shed no light. ,
One must turn from them to the ten
dency or policy and make up his ininn
from that. Such a discovery is easier
than a single fact. One cannot ma!:-'
up one's mind from little things, for
they are endless, one suggest!ng an
other infinitely. So a general view
that expresses a tendency provides thi
opportunity for a conviction.
The civic duty, then, is to get ac
quainted with the tendency of a meas
ure of policy, the influence It has or
other things and how it' affects th
habits of a community. This constant
jowering about particulars never con
structs a real faith. One has to take
bis stand on an axion or self-evident
truth and then look out and sec
whether a circumstance is coming te
him or going from hira. That is the
way to get at a tendency which is the
necessity habit of good citizenship.
It Is the small mind that is constant
ly looking for peanut facts and rea
sons. It Is the larger mind that look?
for tendencies, andx the field for ItF
exercise includes all national, state
and city affairs. A man who doesn't
see tendencies there is a poor citizen,
and they are legion. Columbus Jour

One of th:? most precious posses
sions of an officer in England, and on'
which excited much curiosity during j
recent short leave. Is an ordinary wish
bone which he has had mounted in gob!
and carries about with him as a mas
cot, it having already, he avers, onc
saved his life.
It appears that while near the froni
line in France he was enjoying a nir
meal of doubtful chicken with u couph
of brother officers, and was just aboiiv
to try conclusions with the wishbon
with his opposite comrade when i!
slipped fr:m his plate and dropped
under the heavy oak table the thre;
had managed to secure from a mine;
farmhouse for their barn billet. Nf
sooner bad the Birmingham man go:
under the table to grope for the bom
than the barn was reduced to debris
by a couple of direct hits from tnemj
airplanes.
The oiher two officers were killeil
outright, but the sb-nt table saved, the
third from any material injury. The
wishbiine was firmly clasped in lii
rigkt baud when he was dug out of the
ruins.

working well. Convinced that exploi
tation was going en "on a grand scale,'
and finding every attempt at price r
friction met with bitter complaint
from dealers, the government decided
to test t!u situation itself, and set vj

4j bonds should not wait until the last moment to
erciss ths privilege of conversion, but should do
