16 aQUABBLING ERECTS NATION SPITE-WALL Writer Pleads for Better Un- derstanding of Canada F. W. FITZGERALD It does seem rather strange that there should be those hereabout who are inclined of late again to squab- ble and to erect commercial "spite" walls between Canada and this coun- try that have so much in common, in ancestry, in language, in the com- munications of daily life. The condi- dition that should obtain was splen- didly epitomized by Senator Dan- durand of Canada in an address at Chicago some years ago. The Senator is one of Canada's ablest men and a profound thinker who has made a place for himself araong the great statesmen of the day. A sentiment expressed then may well be repeated today: "The true precept of perfect citizenship is that every man should so order his life that a portion of it be given to some work for the common good. . This is the real test of public spirit and of true brotherhood. There is no other ideal which in my judgment should be common to every citizen of North America and which Europe would in vain envy us; it is that larger brotherhood which makes for peace among nations. "] always cherished the hope that in this part of the American Conti- nent where we are moulding the soul of two nations--vigorous and healthy --new ethics should be irrevocably established which would put to shame the rest of the world, and perhaps contribute to reform it, by simply maintaining that the code of honor which governs the individual shall obtain in our international relations; that the golden rule, revered in pri- vate life by all good citizens, shall not be set at naught by those same good citizens once they are clothed with responsibility as representa- tives of the nations.... " Avoid Being Irritant. Some folks are just plain irritants. You don't know why it is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being so touchy. But it can't be helped--they irritate. Do your best to get beyond he, jrrity jrritg otal 3 Wn nnn nut up ot when you train youu to it. In the end you may find that part of the irritation belongs to your- self. Come on. Be a sport. Buck up.~Grit. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922 6O0D GREDIT IS N01 ACCIDENT; SAYS WARD Charles W. Ward Points Out Thrift Lesson BY CHARLES W. WARD Good credit is not an accident. It is an indication of a healthy mind and a strong character. Bad credit is not often an accident, Usually it is a symptom of an internal malady. As in the case of some other disease, the patient always expects to get well as soon as the weather changes or some other external circumstance has righted itself. Slow pay tends to develop into poor pay very quickly and the latter is a chronic and almost incurable dis- ease as is indisputably proven by the records of any credit bureau. It is a kind of auto-intoxication that saps the vitality of its victim and leaves him a prey to all sorts of un- happy ailments as worry, indecision, timidity and all kinds of morbid af- flictions of the spirit. The patient becomes at once a burden on society for his delinquency must be counterbalanced by an extra charge upon those who pay promptly. Only a change of mind and a heroic change of habit can affect a cure. With every improvement of financial circumstances the patient will find an even greater temptation to indulge in an abnormal apetite for things he cannot afford. Only a prolonged pe- riod during which all credit is with- held from the patient and he adheres strictly to a prescription in the form of a carefully prepared budget can bring about total recovery. Even then he will not be immune from (ater attacks of the disease but must oe on his guard always. To face frankly the fact that poor pay is an internal malady, not an external circumstance, is half the battle. That's Going Too Far, A woman may get up at a mother's convention and dcclare that she has the best husband on earth, but she never goes so far as to say she ex- pects to meet him in heaven.--Chicago Daily News. - AUBURN BEAUTY-SIX 7-R.
