stol. xxxii.i ■ 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.

Home Circle Column. Pleasant Evening Reveries—-A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. 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, - . i It is sometimes safer to back down than to get your back up.
