DEFEAT
(Exchange)
I dreamed of a palace I might build
Gorgeous ^cvond compare
Wither \vo<m t^t- burdened me in my day
languished and perished there.
And I told my dreams to those of my kin.
And they laughed at the dream I dreamed:
And I let them laugh for the joy that it bred
And the childish whim it seemed.
i’.ut toiling and spending my life was lived
Wayward and small of gnir..
And the palace I dreamed to shelter me
Dimmed as new moons wane:
Then 1 too laughed at the thing I prized
And I knew that my dream was chaff.
For I sold the faith in my soul
Arid became as the fools who laugh.
IDEAS AND IDLENESS
(By (Mark C. Stockford.)
How many men do you know who consciously set afloat any new ideas?
Didn’t take you long to count them, did it?
But why so few of them? Evet think of that?
Here’s why: Most folks hesitate to do anything ongiral; they hesi
tate to speak their own thoughts for fear others will think them presumptuous.
They shrink from criticism.
Think of Benjamin Franklin; Alexander Graham Bell; Morse; Fuuon;^
Selden and thousands of others. How about the ridicule and criticisms heap
ed upon them and upon the products of their "brainless?" heads? Where
would we have been today had any of t'-ese men succumbed to ridicule?
The man who has a real idea isn’t looking for praise or plaudits. He
is looking to improve things and he expects—and gets ridicule from the very
folks whom his improvement will benefit. But that doesn't deter him.
Results are the only tiling that interest him; incidentals don’t affect him.
Dumps are only a part of the days work.
Real, original ideas are at a premium these days.—and they do say
that is doesn’t hurt one’s head much t*• have them. Rather does it seetn to
stimulate the growth of gray matter.
Recently a young man unfolded , n idea evolved from his business.—a
staid, cut and dried, dyed-in-the-wool business that is literally hog-tied with
tradition. But this young man saw a change coming and he resolved to go out
and meet it.
To some his idea seemed revolutionary; one or two friends smiled en
couragingly and said ’twas Evolutionary.
So the ydung inan went ahead. Yes. he received many bumps but
those didn’t scare him. The little thini ■* didn’t matter, he was looking at the
greater reward in the end. He accept 'd the ridicule and criticisms with a
finile and today he is reaping the rewa d of an original idea.
How about yourself? Is your grit of that consistency?
Think it over—take a ment: ! measure of yourself and see if you
• re afraid to back your original ideas with consistent and continued action
!» the face of discouragements. Time lone will tell whether or not they are
practical. The big thing from your y and point is—
“Spring It!”—put it to the tes.! That’s what counts. Never mind
the credit for the idea. You’ll win, n > matter what the immediate resuRs
fer such ation will help you to GROW.
The World needs Men who can Grow.

ERZBERGER DECLARES GERMANY HAS ONLY 200.000 TROOPS
i.Sl - eial to The Some Nugget by The Associated Press.
TREVES Feh. 1* -Mathias Erzberger. the German armistiee commis
sioner. told the represent;.?ives of the Allies at a discussion over the renewal
of the armistice Sunday, that the German unity is far smaller than the Allies
l-elieve and intimated that the Allied insistence on a reduction of the German
forces is seriously jeopardizing the control of the government.
Erzberger declared that the German army at present numbers only two
hundred thousand men. forty per cent of which, lie asserted, are of doubtful
value as military units, owing to-disabilities resulting from the long continued
hardships of the war and also owing to radical inclinations.
The commissioner . sserted that the army is already inadequate to
maintain proper order in the empire and a further reduction will lay the
nation wide open to the radical elements.
Erzberger stated, however, that in spite of this outlook. Germany <
billing to agree to disarmament on land and sea if the principle is accepted by
the other powers.
