| Show THE ithe HOME CIRCLE I 1 I 1 probably about this time a great many of our young people are wondering what they are going to do la in the fall every tall fall for the past twelve years or for as long lone as they can remember member ra school has loomed ahead of them as the alie only possible solution but some of them finished school in june and now they are trying 0 to o decide just what to do to those we would say aay unless there is some absolutely ansur obstacle complete your education in some good college probably we are not the only ones to give you advice you have doubtless been hearing it from all sides but getting down to brass tacks it is after all a simple matter to decide for or against the value of a college education just as easy as it Is to decide whether a farmer should use the tools and machinery to work his farm which the twentieth century has given him or whether he should use the tools and machinery ot of two centuries ago possibly some people who do not realize the actual need tor for a college degree have said eald to you po pointing 1 to some man who has achieved fame tadej look at him he never went to college true enough but he belonged to a different age and just so BO surely Qs as you do not take advantage of the tools this age has given to you just so surely will you find yourself on an exact parallel with a farm that is worked now eulth I 1 eighteenth century machinery and a college education has been made possible for everyone now it Is ie not the luxury for the idle rich that it was twenty years ago if you have the proper spirit you can make a go of it it if you dont get a good education in this thir day and age it is merely due to your own inertia and lack of ambition and the inconvenient part of it is employers are going to know that and the lack of a degree will be a beat on your character as well as on your education and earning capacity so consider well young people and get on the right track following ing Is the code of 0 a good sport as it is given la in an article by hugh S fullerton who is sporting editor lor for the new york evening mail biall appearing in a recent issue ot the american magazine it strikes us ua that is a pretty good code to follow in the game ol of life should that game take you where it nay may in business love or pleasure hero here it is 1 thou shall not quit 2 thou shall not alibi 3 thou not goat over winnings 4 thou ehalt not be a rotten loser 5 thou shall not take unfair advantage 6 thou shall not ask odds thou art utiN unwilling villing to give 7 thou shall always be ready to give thine opponent the shade S thou not under estimate an all opponent or over estimate thyself 9 remember that the game Is the tiling thing and that he who thin keth otherwise is a and not a sportsman 10 honor the game thou clayest pla yeat yest tor he who the game straight and hard win wins seven even when villen he loses 4 I 1 we read a suggestion somewhere the other day we believe it was george ades that the best kind of a will for a man mail to make would read something like this dear offspring go and get it as I 1 did dd it was a good suggestion too many people got get moss covered waiting tor for a fortune to be lett left to them and then when they get it they dont use enough energy spending it to wear off the moss mom anyone who aho is contemplating making a will should read a book which was written a number ol of years ago by david graham phillips entitled 11 the second generation we dont recommend that he will liis his property as the man in that book did but at least it is an interesting situation to consider A pirson person who is not punctual is about the most selfish being in the world they seem never to consider just how much they are inconveniencing others most of us have had the experience ot of hurrying to get an appointment on time perhaps leaving undone some things which should have been taken care of and then had to wait fifteen or twenty minutes tor for the other party to arrive that is one ot of the few times that anger is justifiable gnp pr pst 88 ON this is a sentence brief but bult tull full of inspiration and opening the way to all victory it solves the reason for to rall all tame fame it is the rule that has been used in all the wonderful successes and triumphant marches arches in of fortune and genius it should be the motto of all old and young high and low press on never di dispain dispa lr who discouragement seems about to overtake you press on and leave it for in the rear it if fortune has haa played false with you today be true to yourself and turn the tables on her tomorrow it an unfortunate business deal has been made dont fold your hands and give up all as lost but gilr stir yourself and work the more vigorously let the foolishness ot of yesterday make you vise se today do not say the horld has lost all its poetry and beauty that is not so yet even if it were so you can make your own poetry and beamut beauty y by leading a true and unblemished life 4 all ACT WELL W ELL YOUR PART PAIIT our happiness in this life depends not so much on oil circumstances arid and surroundings as in our determined efforts to do our best in all conditions in which we are placed our common heritage la is more or less allied ai ed to sorrows and pain but we have within ourselves the antidote the sunshine of the heart that will alleviate it not remove many of 0 our troubles but we persistently reject the means of happiness that lie within our reach by ignoring present small pleasures in hopes of enjoying greater ones in the future good time coming which always keeps just ahead and is unattainable we cultivate little cares till they sometimes attain enormous growth by constantly dw dwelling elting on them and dolefully rehearsing them to our friends when wo we should do our best to rise above them in the most difficult and trying conditions there will often be a brighter side aide dont we all get pretty tired of hearing the continued wall wail of choso people who fancy themselves misunderstood bovent most of us suffered buttered from that fancied though dreadful malady of 0 being misu misunderstood ader bat after all aren arent I 1 t our wrongs a great deal on the same pattern yes the wrongs are am all just about the same the difference arises in the way we deal with them dont we sometimes get frightfully out of patience at the wallers who sit bit around wh chinning inning about what whal they would love to have or do it only life would give the them m a fair chance and when we advise d them to stir up a little energy and got get what they want they look at us ua reproachfully fully and softly sigh which leaves us more out of patience than we were before you know thera is no use arguing with that kind of it person it takes struggle to win things in this life and you cant get much without it I 1 sometimes we think others have more to start with than we have but it is 19 only by struggle that they make even evell the start worth while take the eon of 0 a millionaire you might say lie he has a ina flag start but ever see aee one who proved himself worth while without a struggle ile he has elther either to tight fight his own inclination to lie ile down on the job custom sod family traditions or his bis fathers ideas ot of what ho he do otherwise hell turn out to be the neer do well that most of them are it seems that those who have to tight light to uve live have the easiest tim time Is after all to make their lives ciuni count for something they have hava that primal instinct of self preservation to old aid them which the rich man does not have he must constantly tight fight his inclination tor for inactivity an inclination which would come to the best beat of us ua were we in hla his situation so let those who are bewailing their lot remember that they can win nothing without a struggle and it if they want to claim the winnings they must do their own struggling w it if you would have friends cultivate solitude instead of society drink in the ozone bathe in the sunshine and out in the silent night under the stars say to yourself again and yet again 1 I am a part of all my eyes behold and the feeling will surely come to you that you are no mere interloper between earlah and sky but that you are a necessary particle of the whole elbert
