T he world is looking for men, today,
For men who are clean and are true;
For those whose hearts are in the right place,
W ho go ’long the road with a smile on the face—
I say, is it looking for you?
The world is calling for men, today,
W ith “ Love’’ as their watchword, not “ H a te ;”
W ho will reach out their hands to lift others up,
To the hungry give food, to the thirsty a cup—
W hen it calls, will you lie too late?
T he world is looking for men, today,
W ho cannot be swerved from the right;
W ho hold like anchors, gainst buffeting wave
Of malice and envy and wrong; who are brave—
W hen it looks, will you be in sight?
T he world has a mission for men, today,
For men who are earnest and strong;
It wants them to lift the load from the weak,
And words ot hope and courage to speak —
In this work will you go along?
The world has a place for men, today,
No, not in the great hall of fame;
But down on the ground where people live.
W ho need the help you alone can give—
I say, shall I put down your name?
T he world is a part of you, my man,
And you are a pait of it, too;
T he things that m ake up the whole span of life—
T he joy and the pain, the love and the strife—
Belong not alone, then, to you.
T he other m an’s lot is best, you th in k ?
T hat depends on the point of view;
Ju st take his sorrow and give him your joy.
T rade your weal for his woe, and I th in k , my boy.
T he balauce will all favor you.
Made it for yesterday and today.
But yesterday you were asltep:
Today, with your hope, your strength and your smile,
You can make the world happier the while
Your place in its ranks you keep.
Then, when the world is looking, today.
For men who are good and true.
Be not the laggard, but give it your name;
Stand firm in the line, your God is the same
W ho made all the world for vou.
IT PAYS.
It pays to be decent. T here is
a law of morals as of vegetation.
T he spiritual mind understands
it aud conforms to it; the world­
ly m ind, w ithout spiritual grasp,
combats it, succeeds for a time,
then totters.
T he young man (or young wo­
m an) who neglects to conform
his life to principles th at have
been tried and not found w a tt­
ing, who neglects to "lift up his
eyes unto the hills,” who has
perm itted bis feet to carry him
along paths th at run to cesspools,
need never expect to gain the
heights; and if by chance he
should begin to rise, it will be
only for a day, because, being un­
accustomed to clim bing rugged
paths, he will stumble. We ac­
quire the habit of overcom ing ob­
stacles only by practice.
I t pays to be decent, not only
from the standpoint of personal
character, but in our treatm ent of
others.
T he young man who desires to
win real success in life m ust con­
form to the moral law, for “ the
fear of the Lord is the beginning
of know ledge.”
“ My son, if sinners entice thee,
consent thou n o t ”
Thousands
have given consent and repented
after.
T hey chose to be "filled
with their own devices,” rather
than
"understand righteousness
and ju d g m e n t.” T he Lord "is a
shield to them th at walk in integ­
rity ;” th a t is, according to the
true principles of life. T here is
no short cut to success. It must
come w ith grow th, and character
is the cornerstone.
"My son, forget not my law for
length of days, and years of life,
and peace, shall they add to thee.”
Here is the result of living on a
high plane. It is a promise from
the Lord to the young man, and it
includes “ peace.”
W ho can grasp " th e peace th at
passeth all understanding,” ex ­
cept the young man who has de­
cided^ “ to cleanse bis w ays,” to
“ put away a froward m o u th ,” to
“ let thine eyelids look straig h t
before thee.”
"L e t all thy ways lie established.
T urn not to the right hand nor to
the left; remove th y foot from
evil.” And so runs the law for
success, one of the foundation
stones of which is decency.
C haracter-building is a long pro­
cess, but once the character is
made, it can never be torn down.
M alignment will strike it and
glance off; jealousy may attem pt to
mar it, but w ithout result. C h ar­
acter is a fortress th at cannot be
taken, not even by battering ram s.
Do you say mean things about
your neighbor? Q uit it. Are you
seeking to get ahead by u n d e r­
m ining another? Q uit- it. Do you
enjoy spreading a reproach about
another? Q uit it. G et out into
the open, “ establish your w ays,”
and then go on your way. In
twenty years it will count—not in
two years. D on’t get im patient in
building character. I t took ages
for the stream to cut the canyon.
Surely this is an age of progress
and justice perches high when a
M inneapolis ju d g e aw ards $350
damages to the father af a six-
year-old miss who knocked a doc­
tor’s optic out of first class com­
mission for several weeks by th row ­
ing a stone at him , and who was
quite effectually spanked by the
naturally irate doctor as soon as
he could get hold of her sufficient­
ly to properly reverse her for the
)>eiformauce. T he father ;! claim
wo*> that the child was made
nervous thereby aud perm anently
injured.
’Tw as not thus in the
oldeu days that nervous wrecks
were created, for all the kids were
spanked regularly aud irregularly;
usually and most effectively, how­
ever, by those who felt the respon-
sibility for their behavor—their
parents. T he practice was then
considered a com m endable one, it
was so stim ulating aud quickening
to the circulation and never failed
to lie followed by a genial improve­
ment in everyday behavior.
Here is a statem ent from the U
S. departm ent of agriculture which
should set every farmer to th in k ­
ing: A ton of wheat, worth $22,
removes from the soil $7 50 worth
of plant food. A ton of butter
worth $500. takes less than 50
cents worth of plant food from the
soil. T h is is proven by scientific
tests that cannot be questioned.
The profit and the soil preserva­
tion is in dairy aud farm ing. Hut
still the dread of m ilking tim e re­
moves the danger of all the farmers
giving up wheat raising and m ak­
ing a shortage in the w orld's
bread supply.
" I t 's funny how much confidence
hiiinun beings have th at someone else
can fix som ething th at they have given
up them selves.
The price some people pay to live
seems like a useless w aste of money
for w hat they get out of it.
A man is seldom overhearing
to
(good looking! women.
G ratitude is the in terest you puy on
kindness shown you. There are too
few opportunities to pay this kind of
interest.
D on't expect to g et as much as you
give except in a light.
M ajorities may not itlways he right,
hut they gel the benefit of the doubt.
Visits Old Home.
Bert Burrows, sou of Charles Bur­
rows, who left Ord a doxen years ago,
is back to Ord on a viait ami is accom­
panied by his wife and child. They
are all a fine looking group and people
to be proud of. When the Burrows
left Ord eleven or tw elve years ago
they w ent to S argent, two years
later going to Oregon, where their
homes are now. B ert graduated from
the schools and for a while was princi­
pal of the Oregon school where he
lived, but since then took up railroad-
ing, in a responsible ami rem unerative
position. This is the only vacation he
has asked for for a long time and he
is about to make good use of this oc­
casion. The elder Burrows is in the
real e sta te business and is doing well.

Wheo men can be made good by

If we only attem p ted to do those
things which our contem poraries ac­

We w aste energy in yelling for help

Madame B ernhardt, the g re a t ac­

This way of acting will probably draw
crowds for a farew ell tour.
One su b ject to be taken up in an
eastern convention is “ The Elucidation
of an A tom .” Sounds like it m ight be
the autobiography of the man who
peeps down the business end of an
unloaded (?) gun.
The man who gave the preacher who
m arried him a w orthless check arid
took good money in exchange, should
not complain if he finds his wife w ears

You can ’t m ake amends for fo rg e t­

Quite often a girl finds she can not

When we a tte m p t to satisfy envy and
