THE OTHER KIND A good deal has been written in praise o f “ divine discontent.” But a great deal o f the discon tent one sees is not that kind. The average variety o f discontent is born o f a hankering for what belongs to the other fellow. We are dissatisfied with what we have because the other fellow has something different. The dull boy in school is discontented because the bright boy goes up into another grade, while he re mains in the same old class; not because he cares a whoop for the higher grade, but he wanted the bright boy held back with him. Millions o f women admire pretty calico, and could be perfectly hap py in a new calico dress, i f other women wore them too. There are men who really love their jobs and naturally would wish for nothing better than a com fortable cottage, with three good meals a day, and an easy chair on the porch at evening. But the other fellow has a big house and an automobile, so it makes the man in the cottage discontented. Discontent which stirs a man to make the best o f opportunities, to fight bad conditions that may be remedied, is an excellent thing. But discontent that mere ly breeds dislike for the good things that are ours, that spoils the pleasure we might take in what comes our way, that makes us envious, irritates sores that cannot heal, and breeds a mo rose, hopeless, bitter attitude toward life and our fellow men, is far from being a divine dis content. _______________ “ Nothing counts but success,” said a man the other day in the hearing o f the Leader editor. This man might merely have been expressing his personal opinion, in which case he may be right. But if he meant the declaration for a statement o f fact, he is al together wrong. Success really means a favorable termination o f any undertaking. As the world interprets the word, it means the accumulation o f wealth c r the doing o f things that attract the public eye. I f there were no effort put forth but by men who succeed in the end, the world’s progress would soon stop. It is the accumulated work o f the men the world calls “ failures” that makes advancement possible. I take off my hat to the man who tries, and he is entitled to as much credit as the man the world calls a “ success.” The man who puts forth the best effort that nature and opportunity have made (»ossible, has done his best, and a Nai>oleon, a Rothschild, a Spurgeon could do no more. Mr. Business Man, the Leader is read by hundreds o f people who do not see any other local paper. I f you want to reach these hun dreds o f people, you must adver tise in the Leader. They will appreciate an invitation from you. Jhe Leader leads, other* follow I heard a stalwart Republican grow ling the other day at the Democratic administration be cause our athletes are losing all the championships, titles and cups to British sportsmen. Said he, “ Since Woodrow gave them the caral, everything goes their way. Why, by the end o f the Wilson administration, t h e r e won’t be an athletic trophy worth picking up in the road, this side o f England/]___________ in town just like Short’s Grocery There are stores that sell just as good goods.

Straight Talk a Virtue. Everybody respects Ihe uian who talks without circumlocution and who means what be says, whose tongue Is not twisted and who goes right to the mark, never seeking to mislead or to misrepresent Straight talk Is a vir tue that Is practiced all too little. Im agine what a different world this would be If there were no other kind in busi ness, In doinesUc affairs. In society. In diplomacy — between employers and workers, politicians und people, govern ment and governed and In the profes sional and the business world! How large a part o f many men’s occupations would be gone If there was never any thing but perfecUy straight tnlk be tween man and man!—Christian H er ald. Funeral Festivals. The Greeks and the Romans never prescribed chilling silence at funerals. On the contrary, they regarded them as festivals and entertainments and chose these occurrences for the produc tions o f their great plays. Every com edy o f Plautus was first produced at a funeral celebration. And there is no other store where everything is so new, so fresh and up-to-date, and none givin g better service.
