Bo the Boy That Mother Thinks You Are While walking down a crowded city street the other day 1 heard a little unhiu to a coniniilo turn anil nay: "Say, Jimmy, don't yer know J'd be. happy as a etuni, If I only was the feller dal lnc niud- der finks I am. She finks I am a wonder, urd knuws her little lad Would never mix w it' not bin' dat was ugly, mean or bad. I often sit and t'ink how nice 'twould be gee w hiz, If a feller was de feller dat his mud.jweak an;, wfL 0ther nationhf facinB rier t'inks he. is." So, folks, be yours a life of toil or undiluted joy. You still can learn a lesson from ibo smallest unlettered boy; Don't try to be an early saint, with eyes fixed on a star Just try to be the fellow that your mother thinks you are. SKLKCTKD Salt of the Earth "How foolish we humans arc when we Btrain our resources to stand in th0 presence of people the world calls big, forgetting that there are big hearts and worthy souls all around us," say the Hoisc Statesman. "Tills mun has written. a liook but is a s'innor. Yonder is one who has perfected a great invention, but leads a dissolute life. Somewhere else is another lauded for evolving a new scientific theory; they say he is some what 'off.' Here is a preacher finned for his sermons more than his living. There is a goldsmith advertised by the delicate beauty of his work, though he heats his wife. We flock to look at them. They are, to us, su permen. "Isil right ? 'Near our door lives (lie mother of lil good citizens, old, gray, but philo sophic, , living lo the end her life of vre II -doing, hi wri'ing u sinner's book greater than this'.' !,' Across the way dwells a machinist whose patient nttmiion to detail along with others in a great factory, has helped to build up a huge indus try that bus mrtde a u.dion happy with its labor saving devices.

Take England, perhaps .the richest country per capita in the world, It is a fmbll land, of no great resources. Its wealth has been gained largely abroad. It has marie money in for eign trade and in foreign enterprise. It has imported raw materials ad food and it has exported its products. All this has meant work. Take New Englaod, the ri?hest sec tion of the United States. If has had small natural resources, poor soil and practically no minerals. It hasj naa naraiy anyining nui men ami wo men, willing io work. New Kngland became a hive of industry and an abode of weal'h. llie natural pov erty of the section. Tar from discour aging its inhabitants, was an incen tive to work. Many e fat land, and many a fat section of the United States, is less prosperous lihan New England and other sections lacking this natural heritage, simply because it has never buckled down to work in earnest. Th'-re is, indeed, always the danger I hat f production will make men easily contented, resulting in slw h and Klf indulncc that Itring poverty where there ought to be riches. The American people as a whole be came rich and powerful not so much because of the natural resources of the country, great as these were, as because of their will to get ahead. Lately that will seems to have weak ened somewhat. It was too easy, ffr! . l ,,make money", during th1. war anil iinmetiau.iy aucrwum. pie forgot that what really matters is ''malting goods."
