■ YOUR )B£P!
SHOULDER
TO THE
WHEEL' 4^, y
Putting your shoulder to the wheel doesn’t do much good
unless you put some effort into the action—you cannot
bluff the wagon into moving.
If you desire to progress yourself and to aid your com
munity in progressing put your money into a bank. Your
bank account may be small, but the multiplicity of ac
counts makes the bank strong. It is just like several
men putting their shoulders to the wheels of a mired
wagon and lifting it out.
The stronger your bank is the better it can serve you
and the community.

HALLOWEEN.
Once again the time of year is approaching when goblins
and ghosts dare to come forth from their dark and gloomy
hiding places and mingle with the people of the earth. The
mysterious influence of these fictitious creatures causes those
of us who are superstitious or else very young'aud credulous
to quake with a fear which is at once terrifying and pleasur
able. But most of *us take the occasion for merry making,
for no holiday lends itseb more easily to pure fun and hap
piness than does Halloween.
Old superstitions can be utilized for entertainment and
vvierd arrangements of lights and shadows can be made to
throw a glamour of romance and unreality over everything.
Sometimes, however, the celebration of Hallowe’en is car
ried beyond mere harmless fun, and when this is the case
some prevention should be sought. Oftentimet we see mis
chief makers, usually cnildren, out on the streets wantonly
seeking to destroy other people’s property. Children should
be allowed to have a good time but they should be taught
that there is no pleasure in destruction. Perhaps if more
parents would put themselves to a little trouble in giving their
children a happy, full-of-fun evening at home with other
children invited in to share the good time, there would be
less harm done to the property of others.
The old and somewhat prevalent idea of godliness and
poverty has absolutely no basis for its existence, and the
sooner we get away from it the better. It had its birth in
the same way that the idea of asceticism came into existence,
when the idea prevailed that there was necessarily a warfare
between the flesh and the spirit. It had its origin therefore
in the minds of those who had a distorted, one-sided view of
life. True godliness is in a sense the same as true wisdom.
The one who is truly wise, and who uses the forces and pow
ers with which he is endowed, to him the great universe al
ways opens her treasure house. The supply is always equal
to the demand —equal to the demand when the demand is
rightly, wisely made. Whe:; one comes into the realization
of these higher laws, then the fear of want ceases to tyran
nize over him.
Are you out of a situation? Let the fear that you will not
get another take hold of and dominate you, and the chances
are that it maybe a long time before you will get another, or
the one *that you do get may be a very poor one indeed.
Whatever the circumstances you must realize that you have
within your forces and powers {that you can set into opera
tion that will triumph over any and all apparent or tempor
ary losses. Set these forces into operation and you will then
be forcing a magnet that will draw to you a situation that
may be far better than the one you have lost, and the time
may soon come when you will even be thankful that you lost
the old one.
—Ralph Waldo Trine.
But money is worth so very little anyway unless one has
the soul with which to enjoy it and how can a grasping, mis
erly peoson have a soul? But of course, we do no; all go so
far as to be misers, or at least we yie only small editions.
Even so, if we could all get over that habit of tightening our
hands about our pocketbooks every time we are as ted for
help we would all be happier. Do not be afraid that your
generous disposition will lead you to the poor house. The
Lord always provides for suce emergencies. You seldom
find a generous man tn the poor house, but if you do, we’ll
wager he is happy.
Contrary to the popular belief, it is not the frost which
causes the leaves to put on their gay colors in the fall. This
bright coloration is caused by the sap retreating to the roots
which results in a chemical reaction. Such action is hasten
ed by frost or col 1 weather but many times the leaves begin
to turn before there is any nip of frost in the air,
