Shows up in a lot of wayn And one of them is in the matter of vacations. Some people never had @ real vacation. They don't even want one. Many take thelr time off in the early spring. Most wait until the hot day» of July and August. The winter resort man takes his vacation in summer, and the sum- mer resort keeper takes his in winter. But there is a growing army which finds tn the tang of the autumn alr the zest that spurs them thru the work of the winter. Surely, the fall is a delightful season of the year, The landacape ts at its best. The woods flame with the colorings of the leaves that the frosts have touched. It is harvest time, too, and the ayitumn outers find country folks mighty glad to sell the products of the farm to them at cut rates, And big measure, The autumn vacationer who loves the outdoors and nature in her sportiest mood, # mms to have chosen the very cream of the monthy for his little adveoture, ° ° Satisfying Work In a certain army camp there was perpetual trouble with the men detalied to look after the horses. Many of them did not like the work and did things wrong to get out of it, and some of them were badly missed elsewhere. There was constant change and no one seemed to _| be satisfied. Then the psychologist was consulted, and he picked for the work a squad of the least intelligent men in the camp. The experiment worked; for these men loved the horses and ifked the routine of looking after them under supervision, and often they were an glad to get away from other work as their former supervisors were to get rid of them Every cone was satisfied, and the horscs were well looked after. A person's work ts @ large part of his life, and any one ts tucky who can carn a décent living at work that suits his tastes and is neither too hard nor too easy for his powers, 0 OF TODAY S WHAT? ‘The Star: In Thursday's of The Star on the editorial under the title: “More Relig @ and Politics,” appears an article managing editor of to the last paragraph in this beginning with the third and which I quote herewith: Resources He was an inspector in the largest tire factory. (That “largest” may start a fight among the rubber kings, but never mind.) Recently he was laid off, with a few thousand others. However, he was offered @ job at piece-work, by which he might still make “good money.” His landlord urged him to take ft. Incidentally, he had been paying his landlord ninety per month for six-room house. The landlord offered to lower the rent to stxty. Perhaps his landlord had turned philanthropiat. Perhaps he was panicky at @ threatened exodus. Anyway, his tenant spoke: “You think that’s an inducement? “It is. It's an inducement to quit. “I've worked three years in this bure. “My wages have been higher than I ever dreamed a man could earn. “I haven't bought silk shirts and eighteendoliar kicks. “I haven't loafed, “I have saved three hundred and sixty dollara “That's the best I could do. “You have just confemwed that you have been bilking me 33 per cent “1 figure that every one else has. “There's nothing to it. “I came here from the far. “I'm going back.” Fortunately for this man he owned @ small farm. He had “resources.” He possessed the three essentials for the creation of wealth, Land, Labor and (a little) Capital. Having which, he was independent of his job. He could create wealth.

A direct election would @liminate this expense. Yet a part of the same was made direct thru an Underhanded method that I do not think meets with the approval of the general public. That is the declara- tion that the first nine on the judi- elary ticket are elected, instead of the first 18 being nominated. In my - @wn precinct, to my knowledge, a Voter duly registered and qualified, Aesired neither the democratic or the Fepublican ballot, was told he must choose one, or he could not vote. He did not vote! @ay how many precincta in King @ounty this same thing has happened | Ror how often. The farm-labor party and the s0- @alist and any other lawful faction @hould have a voice to say who their Mext superior court judges are going to be. _ Ninety per cent of them did not ‘Yote at this primary nor did they un @erstand that any one was to be @lected. This does not present itself to me as being of a fair nature or “awful, and for the present nine to close their eyes to this truth should be enough to disqualify them from the honorable pouition which they week. I trust you will print this in your eolumn, that we may get the general epinion of the public on the same. A. R. EADER OH. Dyer-—-Two months ago he could ot even carry a tune. Ryer—And now?

To fight for a vision that one sees but dimly! and to risk present comfort to do it! That takes courage. But if a man has it in him itis one of the things that makes life worth the living. The man who is willing to do it is one whose story is worth the telling. The men one reads about took fighting chances and backed their vision with their lives. Think of Columbus cajoling his crew to go |a little further into a nameless ocean, that might lead nowhere; of | the Pilgrim Fathers facing untold dangers in a new land; of the Dec- |laration of Independence signed with the hangman around the corner; of the frontiersmen, the Arctic explorers, the inventors who starved and struggled to put their ideas across, of the struggling poets and | artists who left the world a priceless heritage. “But the thing may fall, and it costs to try.” Quite right, my child, It cost Christ somefhing to redeem the world | But wasn't it worth while?

No Quitter’s Job, Playing the Baby. A gentleman rtates that, unless he can find good reason for not doing #0, he intends to commit wul cide. Suicide tx merely the last word in slumping. It i# the same sort of thing as the screaming of an angry baby, the hysterics of a petulant woman, It is weakness attempting sn impotent gesture of strength, However, endeavoring to put my self in the place of any person #0 ill, oppreased or bedeviled that wul- cide suggests itself, 1 here set down ten reasons why I should not do it. 1, No matter what horror I have of anything else, I have a greater horror of being a coward.

Suicide is the sum of all the |negations and opposites of the things I believe in, 1 believe in Waith, Cheer, Endurance, Heroism, jand Love. Suicide means absence of Faith; ft means the thickest of Gloom; it means petulant refusal to | ndure; it means the very opposite of Heroism, and it means the ab- sence of all Love. | 3 Death has been called the |Great Adventure, But Life te ao greater Adventure. No matter how drab and ugly are Yesterday and | Today, Tomorrow in always golden. |Every man stands in the prow of Today, as Columbus, on his west: ward faring ship, and America les beyond. I would not want to turn back without discovering America. To me the most interesting thing in the world is Tomorrow. 4. I would not commit muicide because I would hate to be clasned chickentivered, thin childish, moral runte that like to talk about It, and anon commit it I’m particular about my crowd. 6. Another reason fa, It's an ex: periment. I don't know what will happen afterward. I might leave the evila of this state and “fly to others that I know not of."
