A new idea this, that there is apt to be something physically at fault with the person who remembers too much of the past, especially the unpleasant. Strong and healthy people seem able to forget the un- pleasant things of life — dismiss them from their minds as = we discard old rubbish-not worth any further thought. _ Pe The unhealthy, particularly the brooding neurasthenics, = garden their troubles. They keep disappointing memories = in mind—nurse and coax them along. Like the person who = “enjoys poor health.” DETROIT 'D SMITH The art of forgetting, within reasonable bounds, is as _ desirable an accomplishment as the development of keen = memory. All of us havd-rough bumps and heartaches in = life. If we weren’t able to, forget them, existence would be dismal, drab. ¥ Memory has to do with the past. The man with keen memory is often anchored back yonder. Quite the reverse = of the man with the ability to forget; he has rung down the final curtain on the past: is living in the present and for the = future. 4 _.Europe’s chief trouble is its inability to forget the preju- ‘dicés, injustice and hatreds of the past. Forgetting is not an accident, it’s an effort of the will ower, claims the London medical editor. The stronger our will power, the easier for us to blot the past from our con- -cious minds. SS) : L The jovial healthy person with the art of forgetting has great advantage. He may not be able entirely to ignore =the unpleasantries of life as they come along, but he at least jaloesn’t meet them with a magnifying glass. : A good: memory is most valuable when accompanied by d. forgettory. You know what a form letter is—the kind.sent to thou- Feanad of people, all the letters identically alike except that dhe names of the recipients are carefully filled in. to make ach letter seem personal. + - = The form letter is ‘claimed by modern advertisers as one F oof their inventions. But form letters were used by the He- brews as far back as 500 years ago. Samples of these ancient missives are discovered among the rare manuscripts of the § Elkan Nathan _ Adier library. ' “There is nothing new under the sun.” OVER AND OVER Ohe of the fifteenth century form letters was designed | to be sent by fathers to sons who were neglecting their “] heard a report today that made me tremble and my ears tingle; a report that you have} relinquished your studies for the pursuit of pleasure and the! 3 work at college. Quotation: follies of the world.” And so on. Another old-time letter was for dunning deadbeats. It apparently was the familiar No. 17 of a series: “I have your * letter and have read your words, but they have passed into | my ears as liquid that is poured into a funnel, entering at one end and leaving‘at the other. Your.excuses do not please me. | 4 Do not suppose that you will succeed in concealing your de- signs.” And so on. The Adler collection of 500-year-old form letters is almost f startling in the way it discloses that ancient people had * much the same problems as we have today—deadbeats, way- |! The collection gives forms of use in con- gratulating, borrowing money, proposing marriage, renew- ing old friendships—in short, practically everything covered | by a Model Letter Writer book such as was in common use ; ward sons, etc. i = a generatiop ago. : Life is an endless. theatrical performance. 5 through eternity. 4 MECHANICAL INVENTION # Angeles have covered 35,000 miles in 13 months. ts see in his day. : $ Mechanical inventi than the kings of long ago.

Window posters, | calling attention of the public to} the benefits of eating more bread} and flour iproducts, are seen in the larger cities and towns. Sales. of wholesome food, prepared from wheat, can be greatly increased { with proper advertising and propa-| ganda. ‘ | “Let’s cooperate with the farmer’) ig a new slogan. It has a real; meaning and a new purpose back of it, im communities and in busi-! ness cireles, which now realize the need of the farmer getting a) profit on the sales of his prod- ucts.” The secretary, of the Kansas Grain Dealers Association says t since the World War, the an- per capita of wheat consump- tion, in the United, States, has dropped from 5% bushels to 5%4.| This means a reduction of 55,000,- | 000 bushels in the annual con- sumption. ‘The United States has | raised from 200 to 300 million} Dushels surplus each year, Can-, ada, Australia nd Argentine are| wroducing wheat at a lower cost! ‘than can be done in the United | States, and have been forcing! their surplus on the worlds mar- kets.

PRICE FIXING AT A NEW POINT Here is an angle of the price-fix- | ing agitation that may not have oc- | curred to some of the propagandists | who would help the farmers by con- | gressional effort. { Down in Texas the oil men are ap- | pealing for a fixed’ price on oil. { They want the state government to say what shall be a fair and profita- |ble price they should have for what comes out of their wells in order to| insure them costs and a profit. These | same men call that sort of thing so- | cialistic and anarchistie when it is! talked about in the agricultural re- | gions, but when their prices get | sick any kind of doctor will do. To price fixing there is no end. | Once it is started in one industry, who shall say where it would stop? —Aberdeen Daily News. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton Bunch Begt; loved‘grasshoppers so well he followed theéreek down and down from the *mountan until he cyme to a great flat place where j there were “fields and grass and lots of land and plenty.of deep blue sky.” And wasn’t he glag that he came, | though, for the grasshoppers were ! so thick they hopped around him | {and under him and over him and even sat on his nosel: Suddenly he heard « noise. “Chk? Chk! Chk!” it went right beside him. ! And looking down, ‘Bunch beheld | Penny Prairie Dog jerking ais little | square tail ang barking as though someone were working him with a| string. “Well, of ll things!” declared Bunch. “What's this sassy thing? It might make a better lunch than grasshoppers. And he made a grab} with ‘one of his paws so quickly that if Penny Prairie Dog hadn't lost his balance at that very second and fallen into his own front door, he would have been like Jack A’ Nory and this story would have been done. : But he did lose his balance and he did fall, so this story isn”t fin- ished yet. Bunch was cross. he howled. | “Til get you | “You just wait. Suddenly he stopped sea plinkea his eyes. There was Yenny Prairie | Dog again a few yards away, beside another hole! »It wasn’t Penny real- ly, but his cousin Pete, but Bunch , didn’t know that, as they looked | exactly alike. He made another rusa, but Mister Petey ducked just as Penny had done, and Bunch missed him. By that time every prairie dog in | Prairie Dog Town heard the racket and stuck up his head to see. ! Bunch got so excited ‘at that that | he rushed around from one hole to} another like a crazy person, reach- ing down into each one with his great paw as far as he tould reach, but getting nothing. Pretty soon he came to a hole | close to the root of a cottonwood | (tree, | “Grrrr!” he growled. |fellow, seg if I don't!” | reached in, | But allat once he tet out a yell you could have heard in Europe. At least the Twins heard him in the mountains: and came hurrying as fast as they could. $ “Oh, help!” he shrieked, and he pulled out his paw so full of stick- ers that it looked like a pin cushion. Bunch Bear had made a mistake and touched Prickles Porcupine? It took Nancy and Nick two hours to get out the stickers and tie up | Bunch’s poor paw. 3 ‘ “I think I'll stay in the mountains jafter this,” sighed the foolish little bear as he’ shuffled away.
