BARRETT The established custom of measuring time is in terms of "figures on a dial." Confessedly, this is very essential. Trains must run on Schedule. Appointments are made for , a definite hour. The alarm clock is set to ring at a stated time. We tune in on the radio in accordance with an ann o u n c e d p r o gram. We plan our day of 24 hours so that a given number of hours are assigned to work, to recreation and to sleep. Longfellow asked, "What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand. . . , These are but outward signs, the measure of time, not time itself.

HOUSE GALL OPTICAL SERVICE fll YOUR OWN HONE NO EXTRA CHARGE WI SPUING GROVE u- - vt- * er of appropriation, we can be said to truly live, even though it be but the Space of a moment. Truly, "Time is the life of the soul." Schubert lived longer in his thirty-one years than have many of the interpreters of his music who have lived three score years and ten. Raphael died at thirty-seven, but his work still lives. Time is not to be measured by arbitrary signs but by those portions of our lives in which grow immortal flowers in the garden of the soul. Some people measure time in terms of the past with its tender memories. To many, the past is a closed book and rightly so. But from its experience we may derivi* much inspiration and heip. Our yes^ terdays still influence us. The power urge us on. From our "yesterdays, many and great, we borrow strength for today and tomorrow." Some people measure time in terms of the future. When hope leads the way, we gladly follow. Ideals call for a future realization, but the future must be more than a mere fairy land of dreams. It is the present time that should be of greatest value to everyone. In the pi*esent, we find our opportunities. It is the present time that we use. Shakespeare wrote, "I wasted time, and now doth time waste me." The last words of Queen Elizabeth were said to be: "All my possessions for a moment of time/' The present time alone is ours. It is the duty to be done today, 4he strength to be won today that have the greater claim upon us. It is true that opportunity never knocks a second time at the same door. "Procrastination is the thief of time." Time vindicates many misunderstandings. Time rights many wrongs. Time cures many sorrows. Time adjusts many injustices. The terms in which a man measures his present opportunities, determine both his worth to society and the memories he leaves behind him "upon the sands of time." G Western Newspaper Union.

WEBER, I Funeral services were held Tuesday 40-3 V Administrator. at 2 p. m., with burial at Crystal Lake MANY snapshooters read about picture composition, and decide It is something subtle and "arty," and pretty much of a puzzle. But it needn't be a puzzle, at all. Composition Is simply pleasing arrangement. The woman who arranges flowers In a bowl, or furniture in a room, Is "composing:" in much the same way as an artist composes a picture. Both are seeking balance, harmony, * and an attractive arrangement that appeals to the eye. Picture composition can be very subtle, but It does not have to be. As ,a rule, the simpler the arrangement, • the more effective it Is. | Clearness is the first need of an 'effective picture arrangement. One way to obtain this is to seek contrast. For instance, if a gray object is pictured against a gray background, the two tend to *h"un together." But If a gray object is pictured against a white Jiackground, , with lights so arranged that it casts a black shadow on the white back ground, there is good contrast, and the object "stands out." A good example of contrast would be a light haired person pictured against a background of deep shadow. Another thing is to avoid confusing lines that "lead out" of the picture. Lines have a definite "pulling power," especially if two run to* gether to make a point near the picture Suppose, for instance, you snap a picture of a cat's face andk want the eyes to stand out. In that' case, the cat's sharp-pointed ears need to be in shadow, or the pictura 'should be trimmed so that the tips of the ears are cut off--otherwise, they will draw attention upward away from the cat's eyes. The shapes and outlines of things play a great part in establishing the feel" of a picture. A "pyramid" arrangement gives weight and stability, while slender forms, such as a flower with a thin stalk standing in a slim bud-vase, suggest lightness. Lines differ greatly in their effect. Low, level lines suggest quietness and sadness, while tall straight lines, such as the trunks of forest trees, suggest dignity and grandeur. Curved lines have grace, especially the S-curve such as is seen In the arch of a horse's neck or a swan's neck. When the same shape of line Is repeated several times in a picture, the arrangement tends to take on a pleasing "pattern quality." Try choosing your viewpoint so that the lines and forms in your pictuies have a definite character. Tie results, will please you. » John van Guilder HI, "POP,-WOW1 RE VA AT]' -TUEM AW THESE MENTAL 'RWMATICN BlNfcO '-^ikiK/we ER-R, V .POP J 3 MONEY TO LOAN I have clients who have money to' lend on first mortgages on real estate and others who want to borrow money on real estate.
