One thing can'hc said. that no scu-

the rise of such young persons. At

the people have liccn reminded that
origin from a lowly homo is no har-

the qualities of achicvcmcnt. people

But young proplc who start from

Wealth. .
Louisiana finds that its wealth in

Shame.
Uncle Sam reports that over a. mil-

"gainfully employed" in 1919. If we
had that situation in a year of record
prosperity. think what conditions must
be when the pinch of hard times'or

into the ranks of child labor.
A nation's degree of civilimtton is
measured by its child labor situation
and by it’s treatment of women. Pro-

ARCADY
BY BERTox enemy
There's’many a road to Arcady,
For it isn't a. realm defined
My sharp and accurate boundary,
It’s a. state of the heart and mind;
And the path to my Arcady secpis strung.
Except when you understand
The varied routes that a man may ranzc
To get to that joyous land.
I start on my trip to Arcady
In a. closely packed subway train,
Instead of sauntering blithe cud free
Th< turf of a fairy lane;
Then I walk ten blocks through the noisy
A cluttered-up thoroughfare,
But I know at the end of my walk I'll gm!
My Arcady waiting there.
I climb four flights and I take my key
And open the dingy door
And—there is my pleasant Arcady
With riches of joy in store:
A place with happiness glorified.
For I might have told you that
I find my Arcady inside
The walls of a. city flat.

There is need not only or
watchfulness in financial matters
but in every other phase and ac-

is thrifty in matters of money. but
is neglectfui of one's health, or
does not keep up with the spirit
of the times in which we live, or
develops habits of selfishness, there
will be no great success.
