DUTTON Compositor THETIS F. FISHER Apprentice Saturday, July 29,1916 Somebody’s Worse Off Than You C QUESTION BOX When you look around with envy On men who’ve more than you Do you ever stop and ponder, There’s lots their wealth won’t do? Will it buy a place in heaven? Can it buy love pure and true? Could it buy that little baby, Who is waiting home for you? When your heart is sad and heavy, And you’re feeling sad and blue, Do you ever stop and think awhile, There’s lots worse off than you? Don’t you know there’s more behind you. You’r not the last one in the race? There’s many a fellow that you know Would gadly take your place? We spend so much time wishing For things we haven’t got, That we can’t enjoy the blessings We have, and know them not. So don’t look on with envy, ’Twill make you sour and old; You’ve very many blessings That can’t be bought with gold. Do not think all are happy— Just because they have wealth ! Why! All the money in the world Can’t buy one hour of health! So if you’re well, be happy; Thank God both day and night For giving you what wealth can’t buy— A good big appetite. —Fred A.

Longitude is distance east and west of some given merid ian, tr.eusuied on parallels in de- giees, the greatest latitude a place can have is 90 degrees north or south, because latitude does not go beyond the poles. The greatest longitude cannot be more than 180 degrees east o: west, because longi tude is reckoned both ways from a given meridian to the other half of a meridian forming with the siarting point of a meridian circle.
