J le lives in darkness and radiates gloom.
Jlc is simply a pessimist, and the work of the pessi
mist is too often destructive.
J'.ut why he a pessimist Why not he an optimist
instead?
Pessimism is worse than rheumatism. The one puts
a few joints out v( proper working order, hu't the other
is a drag to 1 he mind, the hotly and the soufl.
Station yourself on a street corner and wnt-h the
people go by for an hour. Ninety-nine out of n hundred
will he happy i nd eheerful, and contented, and will give,
you a cheerful greeting. They are optimists unawares.
The rays of the noonday sun are not brighter or warmer
than the smiles upon their lips or the humanity in their
hearts.
The hundredth man nuiy he different. He may lie the
odd sheep in the flock, the cloud that dims the bright
ness of the eonilnunity light. Jlc. is a pessimist, and
knows it. His soul is shrouded in tglooin from which
he never seeks to escape, lie is a bore even 'to himself.
The 'pessimist is never happy the optimist is sel
dom sad.
It is possible to be either, but never both.

After studying labor all over the
world, President Charles K. Thwinir,
of Western Reserve Univorsily sums
up the matter thus;
"The labor problem is more n hu
man und moral than an economic
problem. It will not be solved until
there is a manifestation and earnest
practice of good will on both sides.''
Personal selfishness has always i
will." There Is always p.eaco for men
of good will.

why not base a propaganda on that?

LA GRANDE'S GREATEST
DEPARTMENT STORE
Has Held that Reputation
It has been generally known by the buying public that during the
period of the war. the quality of merchandise wua inferior to that of
funner times. Il may be traced to various causes auskillvd worlimnn
s.iip, cheapening of male-rials by tho manufacturer in ordor to sell nt
lower prices than Vils competitors, and n tendency on the part of the mer
chant to buy cheaper merchandise In order to convlv with the prices de
manded by Die public.
Now, we are all rooking forward to a change in cindHions. Manu
