Gone With The Wind Genius Versus Industry

and giving to the people who didn't bother to get, is that I do not despise genius-indeed, I wish I had a basketand giving to the people who don't bother to get, is that ful of it instead of a brain, but yet, after a great deal of everybody will wind up without." experience and observation, I have become convinced that

>r ,F r industry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any oen man as far as genius has carried individuals, sam: "Does you refuse to pay me dat two dollahs r lent but industry-patient, steady, intelligent industry-will carry thousands into comfort and even into celebrity; you?"

THERE,S A DIFFERENCE

THE SCOTCH-CANADIAN MINISTER'S PRAYER

The following prayer was reported rendered during a service in Ontario: rtr**

O Lord, we approach Thee this mornin' in the attitude of prayer, and likewise o' complaint. When we cam to this lan' we expectit tae fin' a lan' flowin' wi' milk an' honey; but instead o' that we fin' a lan' peopled wi' ungodly Irish. O Lord, in Thy great mercy, drive them tae the uttermost pairts o' the earth; mak them hewers o' wood an' drawers o' water I gie them nae omuluments; gie them nae place o' abode; ne'er mak them magistrates, policemen or rulers amang Thy people; but if Ye hae any favors tee bestow, or any guid ian' tae gie awa', gie tae Thin ain, Thy peculiar people the Scotch. Mak them members o' Parliament, magistrates, an'rulers amang Thy people. But as for the ungodly Irish tak' them by the heels an' shake them ower the mooth o' hell, but dinna let them fa' in, an'the Glory shall be Thine. Amen.

Two old men who till the earth

Stand and talk in selfless mirth. They are worlds apart in creed; But they have sown their fill of seed. There is no woman to impress At this late time with manliness. They have found and left desire, They need not veil their eyes with fire And look at one another keen As if two swords played in between.

Their eyes are naked, kind, and slow And shine with love the gods might know. Pride is over, passion done. They stand together in the sun And have no dignity to lose; They are unconscious of their thews; Age has quieted their wills

And made them beautiful as hills. Robert P. Tristram Coffin.

Recommend Humboldt Harbor lmprovement

San Francisco, Dec. 29.-Provided that recommendations by the Corps of Engineers, IJ. S. Army, are backed by federal appropriation, Humboldt Bay, California, will receive $238,000 for harbor improvements in 1937.

Out of that harbor is shipped more than seventy per cent of the exports of California redwood lumber and a large percentage of coastal trade.

The board of engineers reported that the most suitable plan of improvement would include widening of the Eureka channel to four hundred feet and the Samoa and Fields Landing channels to three hundred feet, dredging a turning basin six hundred feet wide and erght hundred feet long off the Fields Landing wharf, all to a depth of twenty-six feet. The bar channel is now maintained at a depth of thirtv feet.
