WHERE OPPORTUNITY
BECKONS
Some people are forever com
rl-.in-'nr that none of the big
or little opportunities come
their way. They hear of a
neighbor who got a real bar
gain in a used automobile and
wonder why his chance had
not been theirs. And when a
friend shows them a bit of
furniture or other article he
has picked up at a fraction of
its real worth they again won
der why others are favored
over them. Thus they carry on
their lamentations throughout
the whole catalog of human
wants and possessions.
Paradoxical though it may
seem, these men and women
who covet the opportunities of
fered to and grasped by others
could often find the secret of
the other fellow’s good fortune
in the newspaper read by them
both. That secret is the adver
tising columns of the paper. It
is there that the golden oppor
tunities of the community are
usually offered and found.
The “want ad.” page of any
newspaper is the mecca for
those who have bargains to of
fer and for those who wisely
hunt for their “acre of dia
monds” at home.
If the store with its show win
dows, glass cases, counters and
open doors cannot do business
without news paper advertis
ments, how can the seller and
the buyer of the used article
expect to “do business” with
out advertising? The want ad.
or classified advertisment col
umn of the newspaper is the
show window and counter for
the private citizen who has
something to sell or wants to
buy something the other citi
zen has.

THE PROPHET OF 1492
Christopher Columbus set out
to prove that the world was
round. The practical result of
his voyage of discovery was to
be a shorter route to the riches
of India. Incidentally he bump
ed against the shores of an un
known continent and discover
ed America, which had like
wise been discovered some 500
years previously by the Norse
men..
We honor the name of Colum
bus not merely because he
proved his contention that the
world was round, but because
Columbus was undoubtedly
one of the greatest men of that
era.
Columbus proved he was
right in the face of tremendous
opposition, stupendous rever
sals and unsparing ridicule. He
displayed that which is rare in
any age or man, namely, res
olute purpose and skillful con
trol of opportunity. No other
navigator of his time had his
daring vision and his courage
to hold it. He receives the prize
of the world’s acclaim because
he dared to do what others on
ly dared to think. He was a
dreamer and also a man of act
ion—a decidedly rare combin
ation. He set out on his memor
able voyage with a superstit
ious, mutineering crew. He was
not lucky. His triumph was not
a matter of chance. He was a
man of one idea-that the earth
was round and by sailing west
one could reach the east. This
revolutionary idea made him
enemies everywhere. His rivals
took his charts and secretly
tried out his theories, but lost
their nerve and came back to
scoff at him. Columbus was
ten years in finding somebody
to gamble on his dreams. He
was as real a scientist as that
age produced. Also he was a
prophet who earned the proph
ets usual reward of kicks and
bruises. But he found a world
and gave that world its grand
est motto: “On! Sail on."

CALM LIFE THE HAPPY
LIFE
Are you a victim of moods?
Do you experience blue Mon
days, despairing Tuesdays ex
alted Wednesdays, enthusias
tic Thursdays, weary Prdays
and impatient Saturdays; not
to speak of exhausted Sun
days? If you do you are wast
ing your vitality, muddling
your work and wrecking your j
happiness.
Perhaps everyone of us is
more or less given to fits of ex
aggerated, uncontrolled emot
ions. This may be especially
true of those whose employ
ment exacts nervous drains.
When these periods of depres
sion, or anger, or egotism be
come frequent the unfortunate
victim is styled, in the common
parlance, tempermental. And
to be thought tempermental
is to be thought a bit "queer”
or unbalanced, which is per
haps the truth.
Yet there is none of us that
cannot, if he will, control his
emotional processes and con
quer his moods. Subduing the
moods is not merely a matter
of exercising valiant will pow
er, though that has its place.
It is for many of us a matter of
exercise and fresh air, good
food regularly eaten and good
books regularly read, temper
ance in most things, and absti
nence in some. Sensible living
strengthens the power of self
control and simplifies the prob
lem.
If Mondays are usually blue,
try anew regimen next Sunday.
Arise early, eat regularly, but
not too much, find mental and
spiritual poise at church ser
vice or from a good book or
better still, frotn both. Walk
out in the fresh, crisp air.
Above all do not exhaust your
self in a wild search for recre
ation. Remember that sensible
Sundays make bright Mondays
and that what you do or think
today usually has and import
ant effect on your feelings the
following day. More often than
not "moods” are nature’s dan
ger signals.
Just for Fun
An optimist is one who lists
his 1922 car as an asset.
If the author uses the word
“spat” with gusto and delight,
he will be 24 next spring.
The world, says a scientist,
shakes like jelly; but maybe
he has been going to too many
dances.
A man never gets too old,
bald, fat and rich to think she
loves him for himself alone.
This often seems to be the
land of the free and the home
of the easy.
We spend so much for fun
and have so little of it.
Once the unsophisticated be
lieved the world flat; now they
think it is square. -
It takes a lot of hard practice
to give some girls that charm
ing naturalness.
The swell-head germ is no
body’s fool. He always mana
ges to pick out an empty one.
Little Tommy: (to visitor)
“Do you know the difference
between an apple and an ele
phant?”
Visitor (benignly) ‘-No Tom
my; what is the difference be
twen an apple and an ele
phant?”
Tommy; “ Huh, you’d be a
good one to send out to buy ap
ples, would’t you?”
Folks are peculiar; They want
clean sport but demand dirty
shows.
In the great American bedlam
we just move from bunk to
bunk.
There may be splinters in the
ladder of success, but Pete
Wilson says you don’t notice
them unless you are going
down.
Ordinary itch is only skin
deep, but the itch for office
appears to go to the marrow of
the bones.
While on his vacation, the
zoo director received the fol
lowing message from his chief
assistant:
“Everything all right except
that the monkey seems to be
pining for companionship.
What shall we do until you
return.”
We have observed that when
money takes wings it never
seems to fly in our direction.
The Outside Monday papers
are interesting if you care for
mortality statistics.
Husband (arriving home late)
“Can’t you guess where I‘ve
been?”
Wife-“I can; but tell your
story."
“Sambo, where yo’ all gwine
in such a rage?”
“Ah’s a gwine to get dat air
doctah what sewed up mah op
eration wif white tread!”
“So you wish to marry my
daughter? Can you cook, sew,
wash and iron, sweep, darn,
nurse children, shop—?”
The young man gave a puz
zled laugh. “Why do you ask
if I can do these things?” he
said.
“Because,” said the elderly
man, “my daughter can’t”
Astronomical note: An eclip
se of the feminine knees will
occur shortly, according to ob
servers at the Paris observa
tory.
Fable:- She talked for near
ly an hour and didn’t begin a
sentence with the words, “you
know.”
Noel says it is a clever woman
who can remain on good terms
with all her divorced husbands.
“I heard you refused the job
of president of the company.”
“Yeh; there was no chance of
advancement.”
Why,” asked the druggist,
do you object to taking brick
ice cream?”
“Shure,” replied Pat. O'Hara,
“a brick to me is something to
be thrown, not ate.”
