HELP YOURSELF
More than 130 years ago Benjamin
Franklin wrote: "Keep your shop and
It will keep you." The stamp of great
ness is on Franklin's philosophy be
cause it was not alone of his time; it
holds for all time.
Our ways have changed a bit in the
economic life of this republic which
the great Franklin helped to build.
No longer may every man be his own
shopkeeper. Most of us help keen

plement among the ti"1
keepers have become recti. ;j .io
they have no hep t:.tui.-.ce . o

other names.
Nevertheless Franklin's homely say
ing is as true today and as easy Jo
comply with as it was the day he ut
tered it. The United states govern
ment provides the way.
War Savings and Thrift Stamps,
conceived as a war measure and now
backed by the government as a per
manent policy, give every man, woman
and child in America the chance to
keep shop. Each person is allowed to
put $1000 a year into the business

The business guarantees 4 per cent

CENTER OF MANY LEGENDS
r amous Dome of the Rock, in the Holy
Land, Has Long Been Held
Sacred Place.
The Mussulman's grief at the fall of
Jerusalem is largely centered in the
late of the Dome of the Rock. Fo!
centuries devout Mohiminiednns havt
journeyed- to this' spot, which they
count second onlr to the holy places o,
iieeeu in religious si an i flea nee.
Directly under the rounded dome
toptied w ith the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock aiiout which u host of tni
oirions -Te'.ri -h. Christian ;w Mo
i';in.me(l:m huve hem collected. From
this ro. k Molmnimed vended Into

There Is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept or

Seated h;ive been the learned disser

now leans toward the former conclti--

riven for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
s'ruclure protecting the rock is a
worthy rival of the Taj Mahal in beau
ty of design. The building is octugon

the Mosque of Omar, to the distress
ef the well Informed, who point out
ttat it is only u shrine ami that the
true Mosque of Dinar is a small vault

the sacred rock.
Mohammedan worship is as yet un

the Mohammedan Is now tho tenant

ONLY NEEDED TO BE FED B
Simple Reason Why Imported Engine
Could Not Be Persuaded to.
Do Its Duty.
The first locomotive used on the
Ohumpluin & St. Lawrence railroad
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had it caged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight, in the presence ' a few
interested persons, and It is' not de
scribed as a success. Later, the im
ported engineer made several attempts
to set the Kitten for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
motive in motion toward St. Johns,
hut in vain; the engine proved refrac
tory, mid horses were temporarily sub
stituted for it. '
Meanwhile, the railro::d officials call
ed in a practical engineer from the
L'niteil States, who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
lessly unmanageable, was In good or
der and required only plenty of wood
and water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for iifter ti little practice the en
gine attained the extraordinary speed

What it Came To.
"I've figured the whole thing out,
father," said Mabel. "The car, to be
gin with, will cost $5,000, which ut 6
per cent is ?;',00 a year. If we charge
10 per cent for depreciation it will
come to $500 more. A good chauf
feur can be had for $125 a month, or
$1,500 a year. I have allowed $10 a
week for gusoline and $5 for repairs.
The chauffeur's uniform and furs will
come to about $200. Now let's see
what It comes to. Three hundred plus

"Don't bother, my dear, I know whtit
It comes to," said the old gentleman.
"What?" asked the girl.
"My dear," said the father impres
sively, "It comes to a standstill, right

Ash Trees for Airplanes.
The appeal of the Aerial league of
the British empire for ash trees for
aeronautical purposes has resulted in
between three and four thousand trees
being offered within the last few
weeks, according to "Flight." The
government requirements in the next
twelve months are expected to exceed
200.000 trees. Scientific American.
Elusive Happiness.
V'e must remember one i !: i n It is
not absolutely m-ressnry to be happy.
If is nil very well to talk about haopi
ness, but one of the strange contra-de-lions
of life is that wo can never
find happiness, If v,e search for it.
Happiness is c!ii!vo. Ir will cscnpe
us, if wo seek to hold- it. Hut if, we
go our way, If we refuse to lose our
faith, no matter low sr.d v.e mr.y be,
no matter how weary or how disheart
ened, wo will learn to find happiness
In little tliim's. In the reading of n
book, in the sinking of a song, in the
making of a dress, in the doing of our
work.
It is the hist thing indeed that is
the reul cure for the disillusionment
of life that comes to each of us. Work
Is the great panacea. If we work, and
work well, we shall find much to com
pensate us. And if along the way we
choose to pretend that dreams do
sometimes come true, who can blame
us? Exchange.
Really Serious.
The Newlyweds hud unwittingly
chosen their abode In the neighbor
hood where scandal was rife.
One morning one of the neighbors
pent n hoarse whisper over to her chief
confidant :
"What's the trouble between the
Newly weds?"
"lier husband tried to keep some
thing from her."
'Oh, that's not serious! Men will
have their little secrets."
"Ah, you don't understand ! This is
serious. He tried to keep n dollar and
a quarter of his last week's pay."
Use Common Sense.
In a desire to help food conservation
many women go to ridiculous extremes.
Children and growing youngsters
should be well nourished, war or no
war. Mr. Hoover wants us to use com
mon sense In our conservation. Put
ting youngsters on half rations Is very
far from common sense. If you cut
down their butler or tugar, Increase
their consumption of milk. People's
