I shall talk and it won't matter if what I say doesn’t amount to much, for talk doesn’t go between the hard covers of books.” “It does very often,” said Teddy, “so I'd speak wisely if IT were you.” “Well,” said Teddy, who doesn’t speak wisely. “I shall be one I shall be “I Am Going to Give a Course of Lec- tures,” Said Teddy. one who talks and lectures and whose talk is quoted but whose talk is silly.” “If you say that beforehand,” said Taddy, “no one will want to come and hear you talk.” “Oh, I don’t know,” said Teddy. “They will be sure beforehand that they will not be disappointed and that will be a great thing. “They may say to themselves: “ ‘Now, today there Is to be a party given by the Tadpoles, but it may be a very dull affair.

Every Wednesday noon, through a round of 28 years, I have appeared at the cash- fer's window and received a manila envelope containing my salary. “My first salary was a dollar and fifty cents a week. 'It was sufficient to mean independence for me for I received it for working after school and Saturdays.—Edgar A. Guest.” TODAY—Mr. Guest syndicates in some hundred newspapers a dally poem of homely wisdom that goes straight to the heart of the hundred million. These poems are later re- printed in books and serve further to enrich Mr. Guest's reputation as well as to expand his exchequer. (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) GIRUIGAGY?

Howev er, I would rather not do it after a fashion and so I do what I can do well. “I can relate a toad's experiences as a toad.” “And then what will your next lec- ture be about?’ asked Taddy. “I thought I would also give an- other lecture and call it: ‘The World in Which We Live.” “Well,” said Taddy, an easy subject.

BARRETT THO LH VALUE OF A RESERVE HEN we examine the balance sheet of a bank we find upon the side of liabilities an account called “Reserve.” The money invested in this account is held for purposes of emergency. It is an amount set aside out of the yearly earnings to weather any financial storm that might come, With a sufficiently large reserve ac- count a bank protects its depositors and is able to avall itself of a much larger credit than it could possibly command without that security. A “reserve” Is indispensable to the finan- clal success of any business enterprise. The absence of this reserve has caused many a financial wreck and business failure, In the world of moral values a ‘re- serve” is as indispensable a factor as it is in the business world. It is a balance of reserve power on the right that enables one to overcome many a difficulty and successfully encounter many moral When the opportunity pre- gents itself for one to violate a code of business ethics and the path of least resistance seems very easy, the {ssue is determined wholly upon the power one possesses to say no. Should the power of Tesistance be at a low If on | the other hand a suflicient amount of | strength can be summoned to meet the | larger | count attack, the answer, nine cases out of ten, will be a refusal to yield. This factor which determines one's decision in the realm of moral values is not instantaneously created. It Is an as- set in moral world which has heen enlarging as the months and years furnished opportunities for stor- ing away moral reserve strength. The the reserve the more success- fully and easily are the moral depres- sions met and mastered. A bank accumulates its reserve ac- gradually. It is created out of A moral reserve may be the growth of years, Out of dally experience is built up the moral re- serve account in the trial balance of life, without which no person can be morally solvent.

According to Dr. B. I.

Any bird so affected should be immediately the flock, states Doctor Kaupp, be- cause the discharge will contaminate the drinking water and give the dis- ease to the other birds.
