Adverttising That Paid
This card appeared in a California paper: "Thursday I lost a gold watch I valued very highly. Immediately I inserted an ad in your lost and found department, and then waited for results. The next pay I found the watch in the pocket of another suit. God bless your paper."
Concentration
If your nose is close to a grindstone rough, And you hold it down there long enough, In time you'll say there's no such thing As brooks that babble and birds that sing. Three things your world will soon composeYourself, the stone, and your darned old nose.
The Brotherhood Of Man
Let us no more be true to boasted race and clan, But to our highest dream, the brotherhood of man. Shall Babel walls of greed and selfishness divide?
Shall not the love of friends illume the patriot's pride? For moated arsenals let shrines of art atone; Where armies met in blood, let garden spots be sown.
Let royal hunting grounds be parceled out anew That little children's feet may know the grass and dew. No more shall Mammon play with pawns of toiling men, No more shall blood be spilled that Greed may count its gain.
Let patience be our power and sympathy our court, With Love otrr only law, and faith our only fort. New thoughts, new hopes, new dreams, new starry worlds to scan,
As time proclaims the dawn-the brotherhood of man.
-Thomas Curtis Clark.

The Reformer
the "Getting into a rut" is the easy way of living. A nice comfortable rut saves one from getting off the track or going off on a tangent. When we get prodded out of our pet rut we are inclined to be resentful. "Stirring up the aninrals" has been the job of the reformer for ages. Sometimes he has been crucified. and others burned at the stake, torn lim,b from limb, imprisoned, banished, pilloried' shunned and derided, classed as crank, dernagoguer rn€ddler, busy-body, socialist, anarchist, and other epithets vile and insulting; all because the man in the rut resists and resents all attempts at change. Decidedly the lot of the reformer is hard and his popularity nil, yet without him we would still be wallowing in the darkness of the Middle Ages.
