LESSON FOR GANG To Take Care of Job and Quit Spilling Over. Conversation Fest Shows Great Advantages of a Little Hardship That Man'c Annreciation of His Privileges. "Don't hurry away. Bud; sit down I and talk; that's the popular recreation nowadays," said Leonard V. Whenne, the village philosopher, to the inter- i ested listener, Glenn M. Farley writes J in the Seattle Post-Intelligeneei. "We j have progressed so fast and so far in the last two or three decades, and arrived at such a complicated and finely organized system of civilization, that we are practically tied up in a web j -M tlia WOP h!lSJ I Oi UlJi" U?U wcaMuj, , int . thrown us into confusion, so the world ! has called a square man's meeting, and | we are trying to talk ourselves out of it. Everybody has a remedy for repairing the system, and we are all standing around giving our views, and the resultant chorus is something to j make angels weep." "Three-a-day, a place to sleep and, a little amusement is all I want of it," ? said the Interested Listener. "What | are they arguing about? My idea (would be for the whole gang to stop ! talking and go to work." , * "Ulci you reaa auout uuu smptucw ed sailor they took off a Pacific island ! the other t day?" said Whenne. "He I was washed ashore, with a barrel of j port wine, & phonograph and a box of l soda crackers, and, by gum, he fought j the rescuing party. They had to hand- j cuff him and carry him aboard ship, j He was in favor of the simple life, but they brought him back home and dumped him into a longshoremen's strike. Jkian wants but little here below, but j he makes an awful fuss about getting ; it." "I know," said the Listener. "Our j landlady gave usjten thousand enraged j words at the breakfast table because the phone was out of order, the butcher's boy was late with the meat and i the electric lights were short circuited." "The more people get," said Whenne, ! "the more they want, and the harder 1 .. i th^v nre to ulease. Things have come ? ^ w so easy they have lost their appetite. ' A little hardship is a good thing once < fn a while, if for nothing more than i to increase a man's appreciation of his j privileges.

Aren Fiber. It seems probable, says the Board of Trade Journal, that a considerable trade may develop in the Netherlands East Indies in the preparation and export of aren liber, which is obtained from the fibrous mass found on the leaf sheaths of the aren palm (Arenga saceharifera Labill) after the fall of the old leaf stem. The material *"? l.rv />?if - r?% tK/i in < ilLl L?C IUI I"IU lllC OLtlil ill and is used uy tlie natives for thatching, ropes and small, stiff brooms, and also as a binding material in native house construction and canoes. There is also a European demand for aren fiber, arising from its great resistance to water, which makes the fiber markedly suitable for covering submarine cables. Aren fiber does not appear to be utilizable in the paper industry. A Lost Opportunity. Mrs. O'gar (a typical product of the Kentucky mountains) came to a small Missouri town to live. One of the j many new diversions she found was the picture show. Recently she attended a "movie," and during the interval between parts, a picture for the tourtii iiDerty loan was uirown uu the screen. It portrayed the kaiser in dire distress on his knees to Uncle Sam, while Our Uncle wrathfuUy shook his fist at the despised creature. After the show Mrs. O'gar was heard to say disgustedly to her ''better half': "Mike, I can't see why in the world " ^ TT? f/1 f K A II UUCie Oltlll ^.UL UIUl LV IU^ kaiser he didn't kill him."?Film Fun. Americanization Influence. An unforeseen by-product of homedemonstration work, especially in cities, has been its influence as an aid in the Americanization of people of foreign birth or extraction. In many instances it was the home-demonstration agent in her food-conservation work who gave the foreign woman the first understanding of the war and her duty as an American citizen.

Each Indian wore his blanket draped over his shoulders, I and, with arms folded across the chest (d the customary Indian position, maintained a stoical silence. It was known that a number of the Indians i carried guns, but no treachery was ! suspected. Suddenly, apparently without a j given signal, one Indian opened fire j on the surprised troopers. Instantly j all of the other braves followed suit, | and even the squaws and older chil- j dren joined in the attack upon the ! soldiers. ! Little Indian boys with sawed-off [ shotguns fought until killed and the | battle was a bloody affair.
