ENERGY IS CAPITAL
A LAKE cannot turn a turbine*
though it contains more water
than a cataract.
All the knowledge you can accumu
late in a lifetime will do you no good
unless it can be translated Into energy.
The difference between doers and
wishers in this life is & difference of
energy.
The wishers want things. The doers
get them. It is hard work getting
them, hut energy is the force that can
accomplish hard work.
The reason you see so many men
succeed whom you know to be no bet
ter fitted mentally than failures of
your acquaintance is because the suc
cessful men are energetic.
Energy is the driving force behind
everything that is done.
All of us have some of it, or we
could not live.
Those who have a great deni usu
ally get along, unless they constantly
misdirect it.
There are, of course, energetic peo
ple who never get very far. But even
they get farther than they would if
they were content to sit still.
If the maxim, “Everything comes to
him who waits,” were amended to
read "Nothing comes to him who
waits’’ it would be true.
As it stands it is one of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
in existence.
Your energy Is your capital. Use
it wisely and economically and it will
pay you an almost usurious rate of
Interest
Half use It or waste it on things
that are of no value, and you will Just
about make a living, which is a thing
no man of ambition wants to do.
Education teaches us to use our en
ergy profitably. An educated man
can, or should, get more out of the
wane amount of energy than an un
educated man, exactly ns a turbine
gets more out of a column of falling j
water than the old-fashioned overshot
wheel.
Yet the energy must t»e there, or the
education must be useless. There
must be driving force which will ap
ply what you have learned to your
problems. Nothing important was
ever accomplished by education alone.

WRITING IT AT HOME
A BUNCH of four—four happy kids
Chock full of fun and pleasure.
All four a mighty big expense.
But ev’ry one a treasure.
And when I want It quiet like
So I can do my writing.
The noise that bunch begins to make
Sounds like twu armies fighting.
One clambers over my machine;
One asks for help with "numbers*';
One for my pencil makes demand;
One my tired knee encumbers.
“A dozen eggs cost forty cents.
What will three dozen cost?”
And by the time I work It out
My thread of thought is lost.
One sticky hand Is reaching out
To grasp my thinning locks.
One piercing voice makes loud demand
For help with building blocks.
“My pencil’s broke; please sharpen It
So I can write the rest—”
And then the thoughts I've garnered in
Are all knocked gaily west.
But when, nt last, the sandman comes
And all four little heads
Are resting on the pillows white
Os two soft, downy beds;
And all is quiet 'round the house
Where once the noise did ring,
I start to write—and then can’t think
Os a dodgasted thing!

FAR-OFF TOMORROW
rpHOSE happy-go-lucky individuals
who manifest so little Interest in
the stirring events of life, which are
buzzing like bees all around them, are
often insensible to their lamentable de
linquencies.
Occasionally, however, their con
sciousness flutters a moment, but
seemingly changing its benumbed
mind, yawns, nods and falls asleep to
dream.
But they are going to wake up and
do something tomorrow.
They will yank the old world from
Its easy chair and wake its billion in
habitants with an earthquake.
Hitherto they have been shaping a
brilliant course, not quite matured yet,
or in a fit state to be presented in its
entirety to their Intimates, who have
, wept over them, prayed for them, and
done their utmost to arouse thorn to
action.
There is. however, no declaration on
the part of these habituated drones of
making undue haste.

of cream and a grating of nutmeg,
beating all the time. Last of all, fold
in the well-beaten whites of the eggs.
Line a round cake tin with greased

Bake an hour and n quarter In a mod

APT. GEORGE K. SHU
LER and four noncom
missioned officers of the
United States marine
corps took possession
i the other day in the
name of the United
States of a well on
Section 2 of the Teo
pot Dome naval oil re
serve, 40 miles north of
Casper, Wyo., and a lit-
C
tie to the southeast ot Yellowstone
National park.
A queer sort of place for the United
States marines—out on the open range,
a thousand miles from salt water I
Don’t get astonished. The marines
weren’t. They’ve been ’most every
where else, and done ’most everything
else. It was all in the day’s work.
Doubtless Capt. Shuler reported to
Washington as usual. Just as the ma
rines have been doing since 1775:
“The marines have landed and have
the situation well in hand.”
Possibly the most Interesting thing
about th* Teapot Dome expedition Is
the fact that the notice to quit was
served on the Mutual Oil company, al
leged squatter, June 13 of this year.
Why? Because one of the many unus
ual things about the unusual marines
Is the unusual fact that June has been
the usual month with the marines for
doing things, from their establishment
by the Continental congress June 8,
1775, to their stopping the Germans on
the march to Paris June 2, 1918, at
Chateau-Thierry.
And who’s their commandant? BfaJ.
Gen. J. A. LeJepne. Can you beat It!
Yes; the marines have been almost
everywhere and have done almost ev
erything. One reason for this, of
course, is that they can do almost
anything. So Uncle Sam sends ’em
along when he needs a little bunch of
efficiency. And as for rifle shooting—
why, 93 per cent of the marines wear
the medals of marksmen, sharpshoot
ers or expert riflemen! Now, a marks
man Is a rifleman who con hit almost
any kind of a mark. A sharpshooter
Is a rifleman who can bit what the
marksman misses. And an expert rifle
man Is —well, he’s simply "battle, mur
der and sudden death.’’
The United States marine corps is
an Independent branch of the military
service under a major genera! com
mnrddnt. In general, the corp* sub

the navy, but It may be detached for
service with the army by the Presi

organized as gun divisions. They are
THE WEDDING BOOTH
One of the new suburban churches
has a built-in bridal nook. This is a
dainty little canopied and pillared af

dings where the full church Is not

the bride and groom and space for a
small company of gueats. There are

designed also for expeditionary duty.
They are used in guarding American
interests In foreign countries in times
of disturbance.
Four years is thetr term of service.
They must be between eighteen and
thirty-six years of age, able-bodied,
of good character and able to pass
strict mental, moral and physical tests.
Now, the recurrence of the June ac
tivity in the long record of the marines
is really remarkable. Their first en
gagement was June 27, 1777. in an
action off the New Foundland bank«
tn which the American frigate Han
cock captured the British frigate Fox.
June 1, 1805. a detachment of ma
rines stormed Derne, a stronghold of
the Tripolians. The honor of planting
the brst American flag on Old World
soil is to the credit of Lieutenant

ple to set foot on the island. Marine
detachments were In the expedition.
June 28, 1862, Admiral Farragut
passed the Confederate batteries at
Vicksburg; 400 marines were with him.
In June of 1864, the marines fought

action with the Alabama eff Cher
bourg, France, in which the Confed

June 2, 1918, the Fifth and Sixth
regiments of marines stopped the
march of the Germans on Parts at
Chateau-Thlerry.
When the marines that June day at
Chateau-Thlerry met the advancing
shock troops they calmly set their
sights, adjusted their range, picked
their men and set to work as method
ically as If on the rifle range at Paris
island, U. S. A.. Thereupon it was all
off with the Germans. They stopped.
And what’s more, those that were left
of those crack shock troops broke and
ran for cover..
All Europe gasped. Parts was
saved. It was the turning point of
the World war.
June G, in Belleau wood —now offi
cially renamed “Bois de la Brigade de
Marine’’—the marines gave the crack
Prussian Guards the first sample of
their style of offensive work and a
taste of a still deadlier thing—the
American bayonet. This time the ma
rines, stripped to their undershirts,
threw away everything not useful in
killing, broke into their battle-cry
“E-e-e-e-e y-a-a-h-h-h yip 1” and charged
Into the jungle of woods and machine
gun nests in American style—a rush,
a halt, a rush again, rear waves pass
ing over the dead, behind these waves
more waves ’
Oh, what*s s the use! No one will
ever be able to do Justice to the month
and more that it took the marines to
clean Belleau wood at the point of the
bayonet. K, was without doubt the
most desperate fighting of the whole
World war—Verdun not excepted.
And later there were Soissons, St.
Mihiel, Blanc Mont Ridge and the
Champagne!’
Os course, the marines were killed
off in large numbers. But that’s all in
the day’s work with them. "We kill
or we get killed” la one of their pri
vate mottoes.
General Harbord. in thanking the
Second division in General Order No.
46. casually remarked, “The Second
division has sustained the best tradi
tions of the regular army and the ma
rine corps.”
General Harbord did manage to add
that the story of their achievements
would be told In millions of homes in
all the allied nations. <
And that is no He. It will be a long
time before allied Europe forgets the
United States marines—and a still
longer time before the Germans quit
talking about the “Devil Dogs”—as
they named them in rage and fear and
admiration.
“Say,” said a doughboy husky in
Paris—and the American infantryman
thinks he’s some fighter himself—“l
don’t blame the Froggies for wantin’
to kiss every marine they see. Do you
know what I seen them double cruci
fied rlppety blankety d—n marines do
with my own eyes? They had taken
three trenches and wns stoppin’ to fill
up with grenades before tacklin’ a
fourth. The Huns was usin’ mustard
gas. Well, them marines Ills their
pockets and then the crazy nuts takes
off their gas mosks and fills ’em up
with grenades like market baskets and
off they go into the next trench, heU

Can Fish Hear?
Fish have no ears, but there Is no
doubt that they can detect sounds. It
is probable that they fed the vibra

runs down each side of their bodies.
