MUCH ADO.
The old home town! How it still retains a “pull” on the
affections in spite of long absence! And how it reminds us
of the paltry and trivial issues of youth; issues that then
seemed so important, though now forgotten.
Indeed the old home town is a veritable cemetery of the
old ambitions, and how loudly it speaks of our transitory
lives. 11 brings us back to the drama of youth, and shows us
that however important we may have regarded our affairs,
the march of time made of them petty details.
About all our early heroes, the orators who enthralled
us, the athletes who dazed us with their skill and endurance,
the men and women whom we regarded as of superior clay,
these have fallen into the long sleep, and nothing matters to
them now. Vet in their day our little world revolved around
them.
So it has been with humanity from the beginning. It
has mistaken its temporary stay for a permanent condition.
It has planned and schemed and labored' and fought, and
waxed great with its temporary importance, and in the end
it has passed like the snuffing of a candle, and with it all its
hopes and fears.
Perhaps some of us, even now, are attaching too much
importance to our problems of lift*. Despite our fears, there
is nothing cataclvsmal likely to happen through the falling
awry of our personal plans. No doubt we should live longer,
and more happily, if we accomplished our responsibilities
without worry. It might take a bit of the friction from life
if we recalled, from time to time, that this old world will
move along quite as well without us; that the sun will rise,
the birds sing, the children play, the soldiers go to war, hu
manity will love and hate, and ships will go out to sea, for a
long time after we have ceased to play our little parts in the
shifting scenes of human life1 on this sphere.

OUR DEPENDENCE ON NATURE.
There are two basic industries, says the Mining World,!
that are absolutely necessary to our present civilization.
Ages ago when humans were little better than animals, both'
mining and agriculture had’ no existence. Men ate fruits and
the flesh of animals, birds and fish caught and killed by
their hands or with clubs and stones. But as his intelligence
increased man learned to grow his own grains and other
vegetable foodstuffs. He also sought better means of crack
ing the heads of his neighbors and for preventing them from
cracking his. fie found metals and found them well suited
to tin1 fabrication of weapons, so he dug ores from the ground'
and smelted them in a crude sort of fashion.
From these small beginnings present day agriculture
and' mining have been evolved. As civilization spread the
demands on both industries grew more numerous and their!
development still continues. Agriculture must jrersist as
long as men inhabit the earth, but what of mining? Can
mining go on forever, or will man in time completely exhaust
the earth’s store of useful materials? When we stop to con
sider the dependence of our present civilization on coal, pe
troleum, metals and other mineral products we wonder what
is in store for far distant future generations.
-:o:
“THERE IS NO BLIND FATE.”
\\ haiever we may tiiink of tiu* German cause or the Ger
iiian war method, wo must admire the organization that he
contrives and tin* iailli that is in him. Field Marshal von
Hindenburg gave out an interview a few days ago, in which
these words appear:
“W«“ know no numerical superiority. Numerical super
iority and danger exist only for the weak. Who objects
against late ought better to object against himself. A firm
will commands fate. There is no blind fate.”
It’s going to be a gigantic task to lick a philosophy as
sound as that.
-— :o:
No doubt all Americans will gasp and either charge an in
tellectual density in tin* British parliament or admit a direful
beclouding of their own minds, when they read the story of the
bate in the bouse of lords, in the course of which it was de
clared that the United States violated' its neutrality when its
naval vessels saved the lives of persons pitched into the sea
" l" n the Gorman submarine raided the Atlantic coast—unless
positive proof is produced that the administration in Washing
ton actually was a party to the raid. This is hinted at in high
English circles, but not categorically put. If President Wilson
directed our naval forces to accompany the German raider to
sea and stood by ready for business—well, that would not be
surprising in view of some things that have been done, but it
would' twist most violently his beautiful sayings about “inter
national amity,” etc.
--:o:
1 ncpiestionably it is more difficult to carry out govern
ment work than private work. The government undertakings
have all the people as bosses. Therefore, after all, people
should he slow to draw comparisons between private con
struction work and government construction work. These
little comments arc brought forth by the remarks made by
many oldtimers regarding the work done by M. J. Heney on
tin* White Pass route when he conquered that awful summit .
in the very heart of the dreaded winter. As Heney cut
through the mountains of rock up to the summit and over the
temperature was sometimes thirty and thirty-five below zero
with the wind blowing as only the wind can blow on that
fatal height. But Heney went through even when men had
to wear masks on their faces.—Seward Gateway.
-:o:
Colonel Roosevelt picturesquely and suceintly puts it this
way: “Mexico has killed one German, one Englishman, no
Frenchman, no Japanese, 500 Americans and 300 Chinese.”
And the question is, “Why!” Is it because President Wilson’s
administration has been firm or infirm! Direct or vacillating.
Pen Mightier
Than the
Sword.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advefiis- n
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be a success. Adver

Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
