I ALWAYS HAS HOPE ' J Prospector for Gold One cf Fcr- j tunate Men. i r With Belief in One's Luclc to Be j ? ( ? A 1 . _!>? Cat*. M vuov nncau wuc wunvia vi m?v j I Are Things at Which [ to Laugh.! j The typical prospector for cold, still , met with in the far hills and deserts, j may well be taken by all men as an I example and an inspiration as far as i the blessings of staying hopes are J concerned, says the Los Angeles j f * Times. > "Hope deferred mnketh the heart j sick." says the proverb. But it is not I , a good proverb. No matter how lonj; j ^ deferred a hope may be it should j never be abandoned. It should never ; > be anything but an inspiration and an 1 incitement. Take this nomadic tribe of prospectors, for Instance. The typical pros* pector is a man who has spent perhaps the most of his life pursuing a hope that has never been realized. Yet we never find them discouraged. We nerer know them to end their days { in despair. No matter how many their j years of failure may be they will tell j jcm that just beyond the nexi chain . of hills or In the heart of a still unex p?ored desert the treasures they seek ^are surely awaiting them. A most sincere and persistent man I* the prospector. H# believes in his j quest and respects it. The little or j the nmch that he wins by spasmodic; toll he invests in his dreams. He j th#? solitudes nnd the lonely wastes of the world to reach the goul for which he striven Hunger, thirst j and other hardships and sufferings he j endures with a willing heart. And he never despairs. That's the j glory of the prospector?he never de-; , apairs. The average man, hedged in by the j ^ traditions of towns and cities or set- i r" tied In the humdrum of the country, j looks uDon the DrosDector as a Queer; and somewhat demented individual.! We laugh at this strange fellow who It pictured to us as plodding along in the wildernesses and the sandy desolations with his pack and his burro,! following the will-o'-the-wisps of for- j tiqe. * j But the prospector It only doing in felt way what we are doing in. ours. We are following each our own dreurn as the prospector Is following his. The only difference is that we pro ?eed !n safety aad without adventure. Otherwise we are the same as the * wanderer of the desert and the hills.j Aid also we are soon discouraged ind w? are easy prey to defeat, while it Is 4eath alone that can defeat the pros-i peetor. It seems to us that of all the mis- j fortunes there are in life?and heaven j knows there are many?the misfortune of hopelessness is the worst. Only for hope the heart would die,"; said a poet. It was a true thing to say. - v And about this wonderful thing of, $ope there is another way to look at It; and that Is that we should always 1 have at least one hope ahead. That I . y . is to say, we should always have sonie- j thing that we look forward to. Then, j , u wnai we nave in nana isiiis us, me; other thing that we look forward to: will stay us. Hope is something to be busy with.; It Is something of which we should accumulate a store. Always have' plenty of hopes and have them so that! they will reach out and last away into j the years of fe'ie future. * if I There is really .something: raysteri- j ?us about a hope. If you will cherish j it faithfully and keep it warm in your j heart you will be almost sure to some time realize it. It is said that we are what we believe ourselves to be. liut perhaps we might better say that \vc are what our hopes are. Since then a long-eherishod hope is most likely to be realized, surely i! wtfe foolish of us to harbor hopes that will not bring us comfort and joy.

Cotton Growing in China. Now that China has decided what kind of cotton seed does best in that , country, and is distributing it by the j ton to farmers, cotton crowing starts I L on a new geographical development. The time may yet come when tlie Chi nese laundryman. far from home, will P croon over his collars that he is "still iofiging for the old plantation." Work done during several years in four experiment stations indicates that out of forty varieties of seed the kind known ?S "Trice" is best suited for Chinese cultivation. It appears that "Trice" yields 141 catties to the raoe, which is the Chinese way of saying something more than 141 pounds per one-sixth of an acre, for the catty weighs about one-third more than the English pound. The Chinese pound, for that matte? ll?J ? k,.. r-i? miifu biu, . uui iur aumc icujwu foreigners prefer to call it a "catty." 67,948 Animals Sent Overseas. In a statement made by the war de partment it appears that since the United States entered the w?r and tr January 11. 1919. this government shipped overseas from this country 67.948 animals, which included 5.481 cavalry horses. 33.396 draft horses. L'S. 088 draft mules, and 975 pack mules The Total number of animal# lost e: route ov*??seas so far reported is Cfw horses and mrles, or less than 1 pei cent of the total number of animaU chipped. t . il HE FINISHED THE JOB 1 A. F. MOON, JR. j Unique in the annals of war loan ' history is the case of A. F. Moon, Jr.. f cashier of the Cartersville Bank, Carf tersville, Va. He has already secured [subscriptions for the entire allotmen' ! of hie bank. This is the first bank i in the Fifth Federal Reserve District ' which has made such a record, so fai ' Off 10 lyWAWTI ( AO iO auVTTU, f "I am working night and day for my ! town, county, state and nation," de' clared Mr. Moon. "At the clofie of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, I thought it would be a good idea to keep the ball rolling, so instead of . stopping n I went straight ahead and . continued getting subscriptions for the f Fifth Loan, our DanK soia ss&.uuu 01 ;the Fourth issue, which is more than double its quota, and I was so much ; encouraged over that record that I decided to start right to work on the Fifth Loan. r "Up to date, we have subscriptions for more than $20,000 Victory Bonds, 'but we are not through yet and expect to go right ahead and try to ' double this if possible. The argument 'T 1 ? fhot tha Vir-tnrv 1 USt?U Wtt5 OlUipi/ biiav vuv v 4\/w*^ Loan was needed by my Government .and that it was up to every man to finish the job by paying the bills for a victory which would have been cheap at double the price."

Investigations show that shrewd speculators are active in trying to induce people to part with their government securities. Many or mem are offering to take Liberty bonds in exchange for other so-called "security" which promises a higher rate of interest than Liberty Bonds. It i6 pointed out by treasury officials that Liberty Bonds are worth every dollar paid for them. One evitheir value is the eagerness UCUVC v* ? __ of the speculator to get possession of them. He knows what they are worth. Thfc Liberty Bond owner does not know the value of the "stock" or "bond" he is offered in exchange for his government security. Liberty bonds have back of them ha antirp resources of the United Spates which makes them worth their f&2e value. The person who exiCLanges them for some other kind of pnper risks losing the money, invested in his bond as well as the interest. Other people are selling their bonds because they feel that "the war's dver" and they are no longer obligated to hold them. Although fighting * - * A war will not be over i.uv> *?w? n... __ _ until the ^peace treaty is signed and our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond is a certificate of service and the person who sells it at a sacrifice, except in cases of extreme necessity, is failing to "carry on." He is reflecting on his own patriotism and surrendering an\ investment that never will fail to pay returns. It is recognized that there are times when investors are compelled to seek relief from financial distress. Often their first impulse is to dispose of their Liberty Bonds. In such cases the bank is the place to so. Banks will lend money on Liberty Bonds. The borrower is helped out of his difficulty ami does not lose possession of his government bond.

Rank, in Intellectual Ability and Achievement, Far Above th? Rest of Mankind. i Ar firsr thought' one would bo apt to claim for London, the great tnetrop- 1 olis, tho honor of having given birth to the greatest number of the world's geniuses. j Among oth^r ?roat Londoners the , following might be cited: Francis Ha con, philosopher and essayist; Spen-i ser, .Tonson, Milton and Keats, world-! I known and honored poets; Hogarth.1 Turner. Watts. Millais and Ilolman Hunt, artists whose achievements are ;i< claimed by all the world of taste: Fox. Pitt and Beaconsfield. statesmen who have influenced the building of empire; Daniel Defoe, the novelist; Faraday and Huxley, the scientists, and many others. AH these would stand in the very front ranks of great-' ness, some of them, like Milton and Bacon, towering above their fellow j men like mountain peaks among mole-1 hills. The Frenchman would undoubtedly ; stand up for the claims of Paris, quot- j - t i:?4 n.in?A).l, : Hlg H lUIl^ ll?l ill ouu jmiuicio and novelists and statesmen to justify J his boast. I The Italian would probably put the question: "How far back may we go in this quest? For if ancient Rome is to be added to the record of the more modern city, where will you find her equal?" Then Athens would lift up her clas- ' sic voice in protest, and quote a long list of her sons who have formed the models of all subsequent time in art and poetry and philosophy and archi-, tecture. i But there is another competitor which can beat them all in this combat. Compared with London or Paris, or even Rome, It is a small place. The city is Firenze?Florence?the native city of Savonarola, of Fra Angelico, of Donatello, of Botticelli, of Leonardo da Vinci, of the mighty Mi chael Angelo, the glory of his age and of all succeeding ages; Florence, the city of Boccaccio, the father of novelists; of Machiavelll, whose very oarae Is a proverb, and of the famous Me did; yes. and lastly, Florence the city of Dante, the first both in time and position of this glorious galaxy of stars of the first magnitude. I How soch a small place ever gave birth to so many mighty so?s ?f prenins Is one of the standing puzzles of heredity and environment and edu-. cation. Why does not Glasgow breed , geniuses? Nobody knows. During a period of two hundred years Florenct was a forcing bed for supreme achier*ment. During that time the little city broke all records, ancient and modern, and ft is hard to see where her competitor is to spring from who shall take away her crown of laurels. ' j Some War Economies. There is probably nothing that seems so useless in the eyes of the average person as an Irish potato which has begun to rot, but the department of agriculture in its war-time experiments has discovered that starch can be made from a decayed potato just as well, if not better, than from a good one, and so the surplus stock of the farmer or dealer need no longer be thrown away'or wasted. In like fashion chemists seeking A ?% tt/"v? <1 ntAwl/1 lllCLUUUd LU avuiu >VUUU-?1UC LVUU shortages have found that sugar cannot only be made fnom beets, but from sweet potatoes as well. The farmer himself can make good sirup from his sweet potatoes by boiling them until they can be mashed in the water to thick. mushy liquid. To this grou&d malt is added and the result, i after properly cooking for about an hour, is a thick sirup, which is strained through a cloth and used for any sort of sweetening. ^ % . Modest Hero.
