Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not whimper, whine, or sigh; Don't let me worry overmuch, About that fussy thing called I; di*r. -r a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke; To get some happiness from life, And pass it on to other folk.

Nice sentiment there. tnt" tr-" good time every year to utter the well worn prayer-"Oh Lord, please don't let me lose my sense of humor."

And then there was an.-*rlrlahey tell about who got a letter from the motor car company he had placed an order with, saying they were sorry not to be able to send him the car, but could he possibly use a picket?

Mars has five moons, , irtr. "* earth has only one. But on Christmas Day, after looking the situation over to some extent personally, I was willing to gamble that we have more moonshine here than on Mars. with all her five moons. *** rn case, dear friend, jorr*rolr.times dodge your own reflection in the mirror because of the lack of beauty of that mug of yours, just recall the magic lines that Walt Whitman wrote about Lincoln. He said: "fle has the face of a Hoosier Michael Angelo, so awfully ugly it becomes beautiful, with its deep-cut criss-cross lines, and doughnut complexion."

Emerson said that "the man who made the first pair of shoes, carpeted the earth with leather." For the last couple of years the earth has been mostly carpeted with halfsoles of leather. But be of good cheer. New shoes and full soles are back again.

By the way, Whitman paid one of the most glorious and practical tributes to the courage of American soldiers when, during the Civil War, he served as a volunteer nurse in a great military hospital in Washington, D. C. The chief surgeon in that hospital told him that of all the men who had suffered and died there through the war, "he had still to find the first man or boy who met the approach of death with a single tremor of any unmanly fear." No wonder such a race of men are unbeatable. *<**

Elbert Hubbard said that the United States had pro- duced two men who stand out so far beyond the rest of mankind that they form a class by themselves: Thomas A. Edison and Benjamin Franklin. Both of them started poor and humble, and by working longer, harder, and better than their fellows,*they became immortal. t<{<* d<**

Someone asked John "Mugsy" McGraw one time to tell the difference between a big league and a bush league ball player, and he said that was easy and you could tell them every time. He said that a big league player, when at bat, steps forward to meet the ball, while the bush leaguer waits for the ball to get to him. Baseball has no monopoly on that philosophy. Life's like that in every department. It applies to everything humans do, both in business and in their personal affairs. A big leaguer is one who always steps forward to meet his objectives.

General Motors walked out on a conference with labor and the government, for no reason whatever except that they wanted to look over the books of the corporation. Strange, isn't it, that they should be so particular about little things, with nothing on earth at stake except free enterprise and private ownership?

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE NEW YEAR:

Pilate said unto Jesus: "What is Truth?" Truth, just at this time, is what the Congressional Investigators of the Pearl Harbor tragedy are NOT looking for. The Republicans would prove that our late President was responsible. The Democrats seek by every means to prevent such proof. If either side is seeking for Truth, that fact is hardly apparent in reports of proceedings.

We read much about free speech. Charles Bradlau,gh skillfully discussed the issue of free speech in this way: "Without free speech, no search for Truth is possible. Without free speech, no driscovery of Truth is useful. Without free speech, progress is checked, and the nations no longer march forward toward the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech, than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race." *

There is one thing in this world that cannot be rationed. That one thing is good will. No one has yet been able to issue coupons entitling the bearer to so much soul. Good will is inside of us, and it will stay there until the last gun has been fired in the last war on earth. Subs cannot
