WINSTON CHURCHILL
Neither a laggard in love nor a
dastard in war.
Our wideawake library board has
secured a book that our readers
will show their good taste in hot
footing after,—Winston Churchill
by Rene Krause. Anyone who starts
this book will .finish it and miss
neither page nor paragraph nor sen
tence. The book while by no means
sensational, tingles with interest
and makes the reader gasp and hold
his heart at the adventures of this
one of the very greatest of the sons
of Adam. Intellectuals will lift an
eyebrow at this judgment, but we’U
listen when they designate a liv
ing man who holds a candle to him,
or a mere man who equals or ex

would crack the back of Atlas or
bewilder the brain of Hercules. He

his teachers, with the exception of
one educator, the real thing in a

a political fight, even when the
constituency was a Scotch one. The
Kaiser, William the Second, in the
days of that dazzling Emperor, had
young Churchill over to see his |
German army at its mightiest, in
all its feathers and glittering gear,
Churchill recognized the might of
this military machine. “To war

of martial lay, ’twere worth ten
years of peaceful life, one glance
at that -array.” Yes, a great army,.
Churchill realized, but every bay- I

England. It took time even for
Churchill to realize the new-formed
peril of his loved Empire. All that
he could do to rouse Britain to her
danger, he did on the hustings, in
parliament, in . newspapers, in .
magazines. But he was to the Em-

Never’ Mind the Critics
The minutfe you try to regulate
your life according to the blue
prints of somebody else, you’re
slipping.
The only successful way to be
anything is to be yourself.
Of course, certain conventions
must be adhered to but the fellow
who, gives all of his attention to
convention and none of his creative
energy to hewing out a way of his
own is like the squirrel in the’re
volving cage....going, going, going,
but not getting anywhere.
Strike out for yourself. Dare to
do the thing that seems best to you.
Of course the world will criticize.
The man who attempts anything and
succeeds is sure to be barked at,
But listen....Does the big rotund
Moon pay any attention to the little
yelping dog? Not a bit of it....it just'
keeps on about its business of
shining.
And so, if you have a thought or
a plan or a work that will shine on
a world that needs all the light it
can get. for goodness’ sake, shine!

Bad Blood Hie Cause
When boils start to break out on
different parts of tho body it is an
evidence that the blood is loaded up
with impurities.
Just when, you think you are rid
of One, another crops up to take its
place and prolong your misery.
All the lancing and poulticing you
may do will not stop more coming.
Why not give that old, reliable,
blood purifying medicine Burdock
Blood Bitters a chance to banish the
boils? Thousands have used it for
this purpose during the past 60 years.
Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad
blood and the boils too.
