A young lady recently complained wistfully to us that “my life’s terribly dull; nothing ever seems to happen to me. It newer seems to occur to her that you can’t expect to get anything out of life, if you don’t put something into it. . There are lots of people like her, complaining fretfully because they don’t get a hundred per cent happiness out of life, without pausing to consider how much they’ve put into it. She complains of the dullness and narrowness of life “stuck down in the office,” when she’s “always longed to see the world.” But what is the use of expecting to get ad- venture out of life, if you don’t put the spirit of adventure into it? It is the same with people toâ€"day who complain of the lack of opportunities for making a success of themselves. They say, dolefully, that there are no longer the same op- portunities for getting on, as there were a couple of decades ago. Of course there aren’t the same opportunities. But there are~others just as good. If you build a better mouse- trap to-day, the world will still beat a path to your door, just as it would twenty-years ago. And the World is mov- ing at a higher tempo than ever before. New discoveries, new inventions, new ideas, are more valuable than at any time in history. You get out of life what you put into it. This rule, like all others, has its exceptions, but it is undoubtedly true of the majority of others. The man who is waiting for the depression to blow’ over, without doing anything about it in the meantime, will find that life will be one long depres- Slon. When the depression is over, the ones who will reap the benefit are those who are investing their time now, to take advantage of the better times. A news despatch the other day revealed that in Eng- land, a camp has'been opened where thousands of young men may recondition themselves. Those young men are not waiting. They are investing now for the future. ‘¥*****# WHY YOU PAY We howl about taxes. And well we may. Much tax is wastefully spent. But what about the good the taxes do? We never mention that. All we do is yell and shriek, bark and complain. ' But the tax is the difference between the tribesman with his club and the high school principal. It is the dif- ference between the code of the jungle and civil and moral law. In the primitive days a woman or an ox was the properâ€" ty of the man, and, when a man wanted another man’s wife or his ox he went with his club and took possession. All the law then was the law of force. The tax is the difference between the rule of force and the polling booth and the balâ€" lot; and the council table and the citizens’ assembly. The tax We hoot at and howl at is the difference be- tween the government by the beak ,and talons and bloody maw as compared with government by constitution, free- men and the ballot. The tax is our shelter, our guardian against crime, the crime and criminals that would overâ€"run us and rule us and be our masters but for the defence taxes provide. / The tax educates our children. It takes them in child- hood, follows them from the elementary into the high school goes side by side with ‘them into the higher institutions and sends them out into society, schooled and trained and equipâ€" - ped to think and reason and form intelligent conclusions. The tax builds bridges, constructs highways, digs tunâ€" nels of facilitate our government through the countryside and gives us easy access to wonder spots and pleasures We could not otherwise have. ‘The tax gives shelter . . . to our mentally ill and, when poss1ble, brings them back to society, reneWed and restored. The tax stretches out a helping hand to the human derelicts and to the human driftwood in the eddying stream of life, takes them to the farm home for the poor and feeds, nurtur es and ministers to them. Thus the tax is application of the policy of him who said, “All things whatsoever ye would’ that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” I The despised tax that we scream at and shriek at is the handmaiden torch, light and symbol of a Christian civili- zation, the foundation and pillar and cornerstone of Chrisâ€" tian governmnet, the guarantee and reliance of human liberâ€" ty through the education it carries to youth. It should be our thought to revere and reverence the tax, not to despise it; to cleanse it of waste, to rid it of paras1tes, to defend it, stengthen it andâ€"pay it religiously as 3)sacred and patriotic privilegeâ€"Oregon Journal (Port- an . ******** TEAMWORK IS NEEDED ' .The development of TEAMWORK is the greatest fac- tor in the promotion of the best interests of the community. The-development of TEAMWORK will do a lot to make the coming JUBILEE CELEBRATION a success. In the words of the poet: “It ain’t the individual, Nor the army as a whole, But the everlasting TEAMWORK Of every bloomin’ soul.” ******** Britain recently heard the Prime Minister on Arms. The Archbishop of Canterbury. leading a committee of inquiry. was told that while Britain is perfectly willing to take the lead in disarmament. nothing really effective can be done Without an international agreement. The Prime .Iinister is working for something which must precede iisarming and which he declares is actually ten thousand times as iiiip01taiit~â€"Tllis is the spirit of peace.
