“CARRY ON AMERICANS—In a recent ad
dress delivered by Postmaster General Will H.
Hayes the following beautiful thoughts if put
into action would solve many of the vexing prob
lems now hefore the people. Mr. Hayes said:
“Let all well wishers of good government, all
those who love their country and its institu
tions, lisen now for a moment. listen with eyes
alo’t, listen to th¢ voice of experience anl the
enil of inspiration from the Spirit of America
which was Washington and Lincoln—listen and
hear from them the call: “Carry on, Americans!”
‘Carry on! ‘Carry on.’ Carry on, now, against
the Foes of our Own Household as you fought
at Valley Forge, at the Argonne and at Chateau
Thierry. ‘Carry on! ‘Carry on! Find disloyalty,
if there be disloyalty and scotch it; find dishon
esty if there be dishonesty and crush it; find the
right and cleave unto it. Keep your eyes ahead,
Americans, but keep your feet on solid ground.
Find the reason for discontent and meet it
squarcly ; correct the cause where there is a
cause and mercilessly destroy the excuse where
it is an excuse only. Find exact justice and de
mand it—demand it for all men and require it
from all men. Remember the stuf you are made
of, Americans. Remember the heritage which
is yours. The stress of late days has strained
all overmuch. Be patient with one another—
each one is equally responsible. Stop and look
within. Look each one to your own industry
and thrift. Look to your own conscience and
moral responsibility. In the whirl of passing
"storm seize upon common sense and holding fast
reach for others who may be hurled by. Yes,
forget not the others who are about you. It is
as dangerous now as it was just outside the
walls of Eden to ask in surprise: ‘Am [ my bro
ther’s keeper? Remember , we shall go up or
we shall go down together. The great Power
which is the Spirit of America must not tolerate
any attempt to array classagainst class, section
against section or sect against sect. Guard
against this as you would against a pestilence;
the nation has no greater enemy than one who
would thus divide the country against itself.
Mere agitation and mere motion are not progress.
The vicious circle is not the shortest distance
between honest effort and highest reward. Re
member that one man is only better than another
when he behaves himself better. Give every well
behaved man his equality of opportunity and re
quire from \iim his full share of accountability.
Live and let live is not enough—we must live
and help live —and as you live and h p l.c, find
always exact justice and enforce it.

' l Old Shakespeare said he knew
' ; a bank whereon the wild thyme
~ 2V llgrew; 1 wonder ¥ a- savings
! bank was what he had in view?
g -4 §3P4| The poet knew a lot of things
" s_\\4 peculiar to his tribe, but he nev
er dreamed of pleasantries that
hit the modern scribe. He never knew the
landlord that held him up for rents, nor saw a
common nickel show that charged him twenty
cents; he never paid a dollar for a five-cent
jitney ride, nor lived beneath a franchise that
“touched” him till he died. If" he had paid a
license tax on every trick he turned, and carried
fire insurance on stuff that never burned,—in
short, if they had taxed him from his boot-heels
to his hair, and stuck him for the limit on_every
thing bu air,—he might have written dramas
that immortalized his dust, but I'd hate to read
the epilogue relating how he cussed.
DON'T KICK; BE A NATIONAL BANK—
There is a very useful law in the United States
by which a national bank can issue currency
money upon depositing the equivalent in Unit
ed States bonds in the United States treasury.
The bank continues to own the bonds and draw
the regular interest on them while they are still
in Uncle Sam’s custody., The money issued by
the bank reaches all of us in $5, $lO and $2O
notes, and we pass them everywhere at 100 cents
on the dollar.
That’s what United States bonds will do for a
national bank.
Liberty bonds are also United States govern
‘ment bonds for which the people paid . Uncle
Sam 100 cents on the dollar. But although own
ers of Liberty bonds do not ask for the favor of
issuing money on such bonds, when the time
comes that they want to sell them, interest and
all, and get much needed cash for them, they
‘have to accept considerably less than ‘lOO cents
on the dollar.
[ In other words, the national bank eats its cake
and still has it. The ordinary fellow, on the
other hand, only gets a part of his cake to eat,
and when eaten it is all gone for good.
It’s a fine life if you don’t weaken!
WHAT IS SO INSCRUTABLE AS LIFE?—
Speaking of a man who has just died—one Wal
ter N. Lipe—friends, relatives and neighbors
told of his happy family life.
As general manager of a great packing con
cern, Lipe turned everything into gold for his
company and made a million for himself.
“He resigned recently,” said the president of
the packing institution, “to become vice presi
dent of the great American Sugar Refining Com
pany. We were very, very sorry to lose him.”
Lipe died the day before he was to take pos
session of this new office. The president of the
sugar refining cmpany said: “He was a great
busness man and a wonderful manager of men.
We are greatly grieved and disappointed.”
And this man committed suicide—hanged him
self! :

Hogmanay.
Hogmanay, Hogmena or Hagmena
means holy month. December is so
called because our Lord was born on
the. 25th thereof. The word is de
rived from the Saxon “Ralig manath,”
holy month. New Year's eve is called
“Hogmonay night” or “Hogg-night,”
and it is still customary in parts of
Scotland for persons to go from door
to door on that night, asking in rude
rhymes for cakes or money. King
Haco of Norway fixed ‘the feast of
Yole on Christmas day, the eve of
which used to be called hogg-night,
but the Scots were taught by the
French to transfer the feast of Yole
to the feast of Noel and hogg-night
has ever since been the last of De
cember.
e
Instinct of the Groundhog.
Questions about the groundhog as a
weather prognosticator arise with each
recurring February 2. The marmot
family, to which the groundhog be
longs, lies dormant in winter, hibernat
ing much like the bear and the bat.
At the approach of cold weather in the
fall they curl up asleep at the bottom
of their deep burrows. About the time
of the usual midwinter thaw thei
groundhog comes out. By a pecullar‘
instinct he is able to foretell the .
weather several weeks ahead. When |
his sagacity tells him that an early
break-up is at hand he stays out. When
a storm period threatens he pops into
his hole again and goes to sleep, not
reappearing for weeks. l
