Eleven Months
By DOUGLAS M ALLOCH
T T S- well, let's see—It's very new
L Eleven months, almost a year.
Since you put on your hat one day
And said good by and went a w a y ;
And you. you smiled, and 1 smiled, too
That's all one ever dares to d o;
And then ! heard a door Dial doss'd
And welt, whoever yet au|ipoeed
Eleven months could follow thon
Before that door would swing again.
That Is, before that dosir would swing
And really ms'au a single h ln gi—
Eleven months, or maybe mors\
Before one beard a swinging door
Just seem to swing some certain way.
t can't describe, (hat seemed to say,
"H e's here! He's home! He's ou tlw
stair I
Now where's my puff? and how's my
hair?"
Eleven months— and yet a week
It was before I dared to speak.
Or hardly uared to
..i. for fra?
Somebody else around might hoar
Me— well. n.e gulping something down
Because one man was out o f town.

By F. A. W A L K E R
HAVE LOFTY AIMS
OO who are so often discouraged
in the gray dawn, when tt takes ali
your resolution to arouse yourself,
ought not to lose heart.
The embarrassing puzzles that con­
front you with the coming o f another
day hare been the common heritage of
mankind rince the first tick o f time.
Millions o f men and women, long
before you came to this planet passed
through the same slougb o f despond,
broke away from Its terrible mire and
paved tbelr paths to success In flam­
ing gold.
Through trying bonrs o f depression,
through storming waters and tempes­
tuous winds. through lonely days when
not a friendly smile beamed upon
them, through heat and cold, heart­
aches and tears, these tired, timorous
and anxions souls held to their lofty
alms.
They turned tbelr backs upon the
aomher morning breeze and lifted their
eyes to the fleckless blue above.
L ike trustful children they clung to
the hand o f Faith as she led them
gently over the rough places and
cheered them with encouragement.
Then came the Hushing sun to light
up their way- -the glorious transforme-
tlon— the rebirth o f Inspiration and
ambition which took them step by
step straight to t t ; object o f their
life ’s desire.
Y
T o aim high, you should do as they
did and pack your heart with good
resolutions.
You may be east In the world's
drama for a leading part I
Atm high, poll hard on the bow­
string and send your arrow speeding
to the mark.
Let neither fear, pride nor passion
weaken you.
Show those around yon that you
have mettle and character.
Make
the demonstration Imposing, bat oot
offensive.
Keep on t t r sfinltt highway. Make
room for fellow travelers.
Give swiftness to your feet as you
turn away from folly.
Seek knowledge and understanding.
Be loyal to yonr employer, to your
creed and to your God.
I f you do these things you will reach
the enchanted dais at the summit of
the hills, waiting there for your com­
ing.
Can you vision It? If you can. yon
w ill feel the first thrill o f the Joy that
w ill be yoors when the world crowns
you as one o f Its victors.
Now. Isn't this a shameless note?—
The worst a woman ever wrote.
But I've been thinking more and more
Thai ever siuce you shut the door.
That anywhere you perehanced to he.
That maybe you were Just III e me.
And. Just because I let you go.
You didn't see. and didn't know.
And didn't really understand:
And wouldi 1 It be aw ful— land I—
I f somehow somewhere «on etim e you
W ere counting month« and minutes,
too!

GOOD THINGS WE LIKE
HOSE who enjoy the sweet p o
tsto w ill like this method o f serv­
ing It:
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.
Feel and parboil the potatoes of
even size and shape, core with an ap­
ple corer and fill each cavity with
prunes which bare been softened and
stoned. Close the ends with halves
o f the cores, thus keeping In the
Juices. Bake on s grate with a pan
to catch the drippings. In the pan
place two cupfuls each o f sugar and
water and allow the sirup to remain
while the potatoes are cooking. Re­
move the potatoes to a hot dish and
boil down the sirup until tt forms a
thread. Pour this over the poratoes
and serve with rich game, goose or
bruited mackerel.
T
Boiled Ham.
No Virginia ham Is considered fir
for cooking until It has been cured
at least a year. Wash and scrub the
surface well, place In a kettle with
cold water and bring slowly to the
boiling point, then let It simmer for
half o f the required time for cooking
One-half hour to the pound Is mnsld
ered the best time for cooking ham.
A fter half the time l i passed remove
and pour on fresh boiling water and
finish cooking. Take from the water,
trim and skin It while warm. Cover
with d oves and brown sugar and
baste with elder while cooking In a
hot oven, until well browued on the
outside.
Chestnut Stuffing
This la one o f the most tasty o f stuff
Inga. Take a pound o f lean, uncooked
bam cut Into dice, cover with cold
water and simmer until tender. Mean­
while silt a quart o f large chestnuts,
peel them and boll till soft In salted
water. Press them through s sieve,
add one-fourth cupful o f butter, a
tahlerpoonful of oolon Juice, a pint
o f bread crusts, a tablespoonfui of
chopped parsley, with salt and pepper
to taste, a d d '»* a bit o f marjoram and
paprika.
The chopped giblets, cooked and
clip p ed , are added to this staffing If
desired, making a most finely flavored
stuffing.

UNIONS
onion there I* strength."
T R And CLY. It “ Is In this
same principle, old
as the acre, that started the Brat
union, the medieval gild, as tt was
called, from “ gild ’ meaning a payment.
It la a travesty that the original
“ union«** were not organisations of
“ labor.” but o f employer«. They were
board« of trades formed j j the pro­
prietors o f the Industrie« o f each
town, for protection against “ foreign i*
competition. The rules of the gild
against trading with “ foreigners'* ex
cept under certain conditions preserved
for the trade men o f each town a
monojkoly o f local business.
rap*
Itallsts! The authority o f the gilds
I d the regulation o f trade was greater
even than that enjoyed by the town
governments
With the development o f Industry
the general merchant gild was super*
Reded by the cruft gilds— Individual
organizations for every trade or Indus
try In the town. As the merchant d id
had regulated the trade o f the town
in general th* craft gild supervised Its
own trade or occupation.
So powerful were these craft gilds
that It was Impossible for a man to
carry on business without subjecting
himself to the rules o f his gild.
The gild« controlled a man’s stand­
ing in his trade. Every worker had
to serve for seven years as an appren­
tice wit I »out pay. when he became a
“ Journeyman.“ This word was taken
from the French “ Journee,** which
means day. For the inen were em­
ployed and paid by the day. When a
Journeyman had saved enongh money
to open his own little shop he became
a “ master” tradesman.
And here
again we have capitalism in the trade
unions, for only musters could become
full-fledged members o f the craft gild !
But we learn that the proprietors and
tbelr employees worked In harmonious
accord, without partisan Interests, for
the good o f their craft. The millenlum
was here— about hi JO rears agol
