Seems like we have been hav
ing some winter lately.
Many seem to believe that ex
tremely cold weather would kill
out the boll weevil to a great ex
tent, This might be, but when
ever Jjt it gets cold enough to do
then! much damage we guess the
people wili think they are going
along with the weevil.
Not very much small’grain was
sown in thi.s section, but what

• Viewing the struggles in India,

Since writing our last items we

There are people who are call
ed “Idealis .s” in this country as
well as others, and from what we
can learn their “ideal” is to have
absolute control of everything
and have the best of everything,
letting others suffer and die, that
they may live in bliss.

Most of the older citizens are pretty well acquainted with
the boy who made such a wonderful start in life and by the
time he was eighteen everyone was predicting wonderful
things for him. But something seemed to happen, or rather
nothing happened. He slowed down considerably. He
tried for one or two worth while things and failed. Every
one said, “Oh, well, that’s just a bit of hard luck, he’ll get
there the next time,” But he didn’t and finally he stopped
trying and settled down io some more or less mediocre pos
ition;
Then there was the silent young man who had so little to
say, wdiom everyone considered quite dull and about whom
they used to say, “Poor John ! He’s so stupid. His mother
will have him on her hands as long as she lives.” But, for
some unknown reason he seemed to get a good position and
much to every one’s surprise, he kept it. He kept climbing
until he finally acquired the presidency of the X. Y. Z. on
the A, B. C. R. R. or something else commanding a salaty
of about seventy-five thousand a year.
Now just exactly what happened in the cases of those two
boys to make their careers terminate so differently and so
far from the way people expected. Probably the older peo
ple living in the town had more to do with it than they ex
pected. In the case of the first boy they did not allow him
time to test his own powers but made him believe he was
made for great things. He soon Lad so much confidence in
himself that he decided he could live on his reputation and
he quit trying. Some people can and do that but not until
their reputation is fairly well established.
In the case of the second boy he was either conscious of
his own powers and determined to show the worl<j that lie
had them or in his careful plodding way he stumbled on his
ability and began steadily climbing.
It is a prettv good idea when youngsters start out, not to
predict their future for they are always more or less certain
to be influenced by your predictions and you may be doing
a lot of harm.
Now is the time when New Year’s resolutions are usually
on the wane. It seems rather a shame that people take them
so lightly and that children are taught to consider them so.
Most of us make trivial resolutions and break them almost
as soon as they are made. Then when we find that there is
some real fault that we must overcome and we resolve to do
so we find our will power weakened because we gave in to
temptation so many times before. It would be better never
to make a resolution than to make so many and break them
all. It can scarcely be said to be a case of “the spirit being
willing but the flesh is weak.” It’s more a care of the mind
being weak.
Happy indeed should he the man who strike a medium in
his relationship with money. Some people are never happy
uutil they have money and once they get it they are not hap
py until it is spent.
Others are not happy until tney have amassed a vast for
tune and then every penny they have to spend makes them
miserable.
The only way to treat money is as your servant. Never
allow the desire for it to gain such a grip on you that it be
comes your master.
There is little use in saying to people. “Don't worry.”
They are bound to do it. It’s human nature and as people
teel the urgent need to worry the only advice one can give
them is that they be,a little discriminating what they worry
about. Most of our worries are so trivial. Discriminating
worrying might lead to a successful career.

When you hear a man say that at times he finds existence
a dreadful bore, you can feel quite certain that man has too
much leisure on his hands. A man who has his time em
ployed is never bored.
