Out of chaos came order, Then life branched from life, each to perform its separate function necessary to the whole. From the outset, Nature appreciated the value of spe- cializing. Method is her motto, and she gets things done! The seasons serve Nature as domestics. Four times each twelvemonth they set her house in order, and work attrac- tive changes in its furnishings. Ld a Man may well pattern after Nature, and into daily life inject large quantities of METHOD. A periodical “housecleaning” will work wonders and bring to light unsuspected treasures in his “GARRET.” No matter how much he uses upstairs, dark corners go unex- plored and dust collects on his cranial rafters, A session with the broom of introspection—a sweep- fing glance within oneself—unfailingly reveals new ways to arrange the furnishings of the mind—THOUGHTS. A man must think methodically to act methodically. ‘A train of thought is an orderly succession of thoughts with a conclusion for caboose. To handle worthwhile trains of thought, the fire of desire must keep pressure of ambi- tion on the brain boiler of man’s mental locomotive. But ambition to an unsystematic intellect is wasted energy. Method js the short cut, the straight line to ac complishment; men with method know, because method) eliminates uncertainty. The haphazard, hit-or-miss, catch-as-catch-can mode of life and work is in disfavor. Efficiency is the watchword and Method builds efficiency. Hold a session with yourself and methodize more.

A labor) shortage exists. The gaps must be filled to back up Amer- fca’s armies. President Wilson has, by proclamation, in- structed the United States employment service to transfer non-essential workers to war work. | And if you are the sort that thinks this order is “all talk,” you can brush up on the facts easily enough by drop-} ping in at 110 Cherry st. j The government is not going to go along haphazard, facing a labor shortage. The government has outlined its plans, and community Jabor boards all over the country are preparing the lists of non-essential workers.

Already the Bulgarian) cloud has passed and the solar rays seem dispelling the Turkish one as they progress toward complete sunrise over) Austria and Hunland. | From the lowest depth a path leads to loftiest heights,| some one has well said. The pit of despair is the home of bats, spiders and other denizens of the dark, dank, dour and deep. It has been abandoned for the peak of happiness) for the end is in sight.

THE Vanderbilt The House of Vanderbilt has accumulated much money, much land, and other material evidences of wealth. But few Vanderbilts acquired any considerable share! of the public’s esteem, not since the days when the founder of the family’s fortune delivered his ultimatum that “The public be damned!” Cornelius Vanderbilt, who commanded Camp Lewis re- cently, had been fighting “over there.” He had been pro-| moted to be a brigadier general, a promotion well merited people consume full quota of and a position this Vanderbilt will fill with glory to himself) st and honor to his country. This Vanderbilt began his war'| training career 17 years ago with the New York National Guard. He studied hard and long to make of a wealthy son of a wealthy father a capable and courageous soldier of a free nation and a democratic people. Since the United! States got into the war this Vanderbilt has proven his courage and ability to fight the Huns. Brigadier Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt is a regular Ameri-, can.
