Friday, January 30, 1920. COE CIRCLE C0UK3I THE KIND OF BOYS WANTED. There's a Junior partner wanted Hy Will Huoceed and Who do a ruHhLng business Wuy up on Fortune Row. I've seen their advertisement "No cupltal Cut boyu with pluck and courage Are JiiHt the kind denlrcd. They want a boy who hue no fear ot steady plodding work; Who doc not wait for luck or fatu, Who scorns a task to shirk.

Who doe not wait for help to come From fairy, witch or elf, lint laying hold on "Fortune's wheel" Turns it around And lad like thlR are Just the kind For Will Hucceed Who are wanting Junior partners Wuy up on Fortune How.

We lire too, prone to down the "other fellow" when ho commits some act or word which does not agree with our idea of what he should have done or Hd under the circumstances. This does not mean that we aro narrow minded where politics or re llgibn are concerned. Our education and our national "open-gutc" policy hits oviircome this.

it may be that they huve been overworked and their nervous system will not stand the added strain, or It may be the outcropping of some Inherited tendency which need only a nervous crlnls to show it up. Consequently, should be tolerant in our Judgment. Some day we may be in need of Tolerance ourselves. In passing groups of children on th? street we sometimes wonder what has become of the well-mannered children of yore. I'erhaps we saw so many of them we failed to appreciate them but now the specie seems to be nearly extinct.

Ily quiet. Well-mannered children we do not mean sissy boys and little old maids. No one ean find a happier sight than good, wholesome children at play, but they should know there Is a place for their shouting their play and that place is not on the public streets, where they carelessly run Into everyone as If they had the right of way and without a much as a backward glance go tearing on. Mot tiers probably- do not realLxe the way their children act on the streets, yet they cannot expect them to act with the proper sobriety unless they are taught. Give us hack once more the old-fashioned, sweet mannered children, happy and wholesome in their play but gentle and quiet In public.

It may sound cute the first time a child says, 'Iletcher life," or "Nuttln doln," but these phrases soon lose their, attraction and sound only Ill-bred.

Stock up strong with these and lay In a good stock of Determination.

Maybe you have on hand a lot of goods you don't want, goods that won't sell and that take up room In your store' where you want to put new goods. Probably these are SeltlshncHs, Bigotry, EvII-thlnklng, Wrong-doing and other slmlar brands. Don't try to hold an auction and sell these off cheaply because you will be sure to make a bitter enemy of the man who buys them no matter how little he pays. The only safe way to dispose of this brand of goods is to a hole deep In the Post and bury them so they can never get out Now you are alt ready to start business with a brand new stock.

These One Hundred Speakers were made up of both men and women, and were chosen from "the butcher, th baker and the candle stick maker." Realising that there must be more than war munitions In the hands we stretch across the sea, that the cause of Democracy must be fed as well as armed, they went forth proclaiming flir. Hoovers Gospel of "The Clean Plate and Empty Oarbage Can."
