WISE AND
OTHERWISE
‘‘Put, how is it that ye
j^always get along so well
with Eiddy.yer charming wife?”
“Sure Mike.it cant be helped for she
ftlways lets me have her way.”
‘‘Mike,which passage do ye intend
to take when ye go outside this
tpring?” ‘‘Sure Pat,there’s only one
way for me,for if I go up the river
way it's ‘inside out,’and if i cross the
©em it’s ‘inside out.’ ”
POETS CORNER
“I like the man whof..ceswhat lie
must with step triumphant and a
heart of cheer;who fights the daily
battle without fear; Sees his l opes
fall.yet keeps unfaltering tn at that
God is God;that somehow,tri e and
Just, his plans work oat for mortals.
Not a. tear is shed when fortune,
which the world holdsdeur, falls from
his grasp.
Nor loses faith i.* man,but does
his oest. Nor ever murmurs at his
humbler lot, but with a smile and
words of hope gives /.est to e v e r y
toiler. He alone is great w h o by a
lite heroic conqueis fate.” ?
GARDENING
We want to see at least twenty
gardens in Unalakleet this spring.
The potatoes we raised last season
have kept perfectly. Not a single one
spoiled. We urge the natives to have
a large potato field. There is abso
lutely no reason why every family
should not grow all they need for the
year.
We prefer the potatoes grown
here to the ones sent in from the
states. They are excellent fried,
boiled or even baked.
Our experience so far convinces
us that gardening in this village is no
longer an experiment.
Potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower,
turnips,carrots, lettuce,radishesand
other less valuable vegetables can
and should be grown.
At this writing, Apr.9tli, we have
planted in boxes in the 1 o': house,
celery, potatoes, cabbage, and cauli
flower to be transplanted later.
“What is the correct attitude to
take toward the person who wears
a sour, discontented face, either at
the breakfast table in the home [for
there the “grouch” is likely to he
at his worst] or in the course of the
business day at the school, office or
shop?now shall we treat the ‘grouch?’
This is a practical question and one
that many of ns have to consider
daily and on which we must take
some kind of a stanch It goes alino: t
without s lying that in the pres*
cnee of the “grouch” we are in dan
ger For it is one of the fundamental
laws of nature that like produces
like, that what we are we attract to
us. Hence the first effect of the
“grouch” is to drag us from our
natural good nature and make us over
into his likeness, we gloom and
frown back, and, if we are rot care
ful, we answer him after his own way
and so become “grouches” our
selves
B it the wise person does not fall
i to the trap, He says to himself:
“My good nature was before his
grouch and is more i:i accord with the
principle of good that rules t he uni
vease. Hence, taking advantage of
the law that like produces like and
that wliat we are we attract.
