FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Henry Ford, the automobile manu
facturer was engineer in an electric
light plant in Detroit. Charley Mur
phy tho base ball millionaire, was a
reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Thomas. H. Ince, the motion picture
magnate, was a comic opera comme
dian glad to get $50 per week, Chns.
Weegeman, owner of the Chicago
Federal base ball team and a string
of restaurants, was a waiter in a
quick lunch room. And so it goes.
The list could be strung out to a col
umn's length. Therefore, when you
hear a boy or a man complain that he
has no chance, take him by the hand
and tell him a few things. There nev
er was at a timo in the world's history
when there were more opportunities
for the young man of push and ener
gy to get to tho front.There never was
a better time when a little determina
tion and Inteligenco would provide a
man with a competence in a few years
This is particularly true in tho farming-businessfor
farming is a bus
iness. The young man of today who
will take hold of a farm with the idea
of making it the best farmin the coun
try and who will work intelligently
for ten years with that aim in view,
will not have to work for the re
mainder of his life.
PAYING: IT BACK
There is a small town in Wisconsin
called Waukon where an ordinance is
being enforced that might interest the
rest of tho country. A day has been
set aside each year which is designat
ed "Bring it Back Day." Those who
borrow money, those who borrow
property, those who borrow anything
that is borrowable, are supposed on
this particular day to bring it back
and if they do not comply with the
municipal edict the town marshal
goes after the borrowed article and
brings it back anyway that is, if ho
can get it.
In Kansas, the "Pay Up Week" cel
ebration has been a fruitful success
and this week of the 52, almost every
body who is in a position to make
restitution, does his or her best to do
it. Debt is the secret foe of thrift.
Tho debt habit is the twin brother of
poverty. The great trouble of the
country is tho credit system. An un
known man can with scarcely any
troublo obtain credit This encour
ages many to go wrong. People who
have credit and do a credit business
buy more than they need. To keep
clear in tho eyes of the world, oper
ate on tho cash system. This is not
always possible. Somo people havo
to depend on credit to exist, but when
they are in this position they must
undcrsand that they arc standing on
tho brink of disaster. In both of the
above case laws have been enacted
that seem fooloish, but there is logic
in bothln neither case will the laws
bo held constitutional but at tho same
timo they encourage some people to
do tho right thing and pay up. A
small debt, many argue, produces a
friend. This is why credits nro so
easily obtained. But it must be rem
embered that a large debt creates an
enemy. Tho pay up week and tho
bring it back day arc not foolish after
all. There is so much method in such
legislation that it should not be ridi
culed. The first step in debt is like
the first step in falsehood. It must
bo followed up until you nro hopeless
ly involved. Pay up, Bring it Back,
keep yourself clear. The way then
will be free from obstacles.
SHIP YARDS ARB BOOMING
Tho most remnrkablu clmnge since
tho time of the Napoleonic wars has
come suddenly in American shipyards
The lust day of December, 1911
closed one of tho poorest years in tho
American ship yards in n decade, lo
day, every shipbuilding coiuvni from
lluth, Maine, down to Newport News
in Virginia, Is working to IU fullent
mpucity, uy the New Hepuhllc.

two more.
Apparently the American mer
chant marine has entered upon anoth
er period of expansion. The ships, or
dered and those for which marino
architects are now drawing plans, em
brace not only passenger vessels for
tho coastwise trade, but freighters
for tho Pacific and South American
service,- big cargo carriers for the
transatlantic business and oil tankers
to go anywhere and everywhere.
HOW HE GOT THE CROSS
All prizes for brevity and a few
more, go to a Baden peasant who
for some time has been with the forc
es in Flanders. His wife has just
made public a few laconic letters from
him. The first reads.
"Dear wife: I am still alive and
havo received your bundle. If the boy
is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph.
Shortly after came a second:
"Dear Bertha: I am still alive, which
surprises me very much. If the boy
otill is naughty, spank him again.
Greetings, Adolph
Tho third communication was in the
form of n photograph of Adolph's
troup, showing him decorated with tho
iron cross. No mention however was
made of the medal, and the picture
merely bore on its reverse side this
brief note:
"Dear Bertha: I was wounded but
am well again and tomorrow I go to
it again. If the boy is naughty, box
his cars. Greetings, Adolph."
Perplexed,, the wife wrote to her
husband demanding to know how he
had obtained the iron cross and receiv
the following illuminating reply:
"It was very simple about the iron
toss. Tho major ordered me to
stand still and tho sergeant-major
pinned it on. Greetings, Adolph.
FROM BORROWER- TO LENDER
Switzerland is borrowing $15,000,-
U00 in this market. Negotiations are
on foot for a loan to Uruguay. Italy
promises to appear here soon in quest
of a large loan. These are additional
to a long lino of borrowings from
other countries.
As the money is wnnted to pay for
purchases of American supplies, all
will be accommodated and there will
be room for more. Our excess of ex
ports over imports since Dec. 1 a-
mounts to around $437,000,000, and
lot over $150,000,000 of this sum was
iceded to meet our current invisible
ndebtedncss to the outside world.
Nearly $200,000,000 was left for re-
lurchascs of our own debt held abroad
Mid purchases of new foreign debt
.'ontrncted hero.
Never in our own history, never
irobably in the history of any other
country, has a nation moved at such
.. paco aa this from a debtor toward
creditor position
CHEER UP
Ex ceptionally low food prices dur
ing tho coming spring and summer
villi consequent favorable effect on
tho cost of living is predicted by Mrs.
Tuliana Heath, .president of the Na
tional Housewife's league. "We will
cet a bigger loaf of bread for a nickle
I ccauso of the nine hundred million
l.ushel crop of 1915," she said. "Meat
irices will be lower because of the
heavy importations of Argentina beef,
suspension of foreign exports and a
heavy spring production. Cheap eggs
ihould come for the same cause.
SPRAYING FOR LICE ON STOCK
Using an ordinary hand sprayer,
jpray stock with Blackleaf-10, one
teaspoonful to each gallon of water
plus whalo oil soap at tho rate of one
iiinco to each gallon of spray. Apply
thoroughly to all parts of the infested
animal and repeat seven days later to
atch thoso forms which may have es
caped in the egg state, say tho O. A.
C. auihorities.
SOMETHING TO MEMORIZE
In tin- Dark
Oh, in the depths of the midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain
When even the sigh of the sleeper
Sounds like a sob of pain.
A sense of nwe and of longing,
I may never well dofine
For tho thoughts thnt come in the
shadow
Never come in the shino;
And tho old clock down in the parlor
Like a sleepless mourner, grieves,
And the seconds drip in tho silence
As the rain drips from tho evesj
And I think of the bunds thnt signal
The hours there in the gloom
And wonder what ungel wiitclicro
Wuft in tint darkened room;
And i think of the mulling fitrtw
