In tropical coun- tries the growrth of wild things is most surprising to known ýonlv the manner -of growth in teiplerate cliinates. Their increase in- size and numnber, if unchccked, soon re- suts in imperietrable jungles. But wild tbings do not grow bSetter. Their quaiity does flot inprove. WiId flowers spread with amazing rapidity, but they do not im-. prove in formi or col'r. Man must take the wild flower, experiment witb it, and by croÉss breeding and artificial selection, produc e 'a .more desirabie bloom. Our most. beautiful. chrysantbemiums and dahlias are the results of such thougbt and care. Our nortb shore communities, if ailowed to grow in a natural way, would doubtless increase in population and area. A-minimum of, buman supervision would keep tbem f airly safe f rom discase and other enemies. But tbcy certainly would not progress. Tbey would îlot get better. Tbcy would approach no ideal., But if citizens, of our north'shore comn-- mnties b old before themiselves' ideals of, what . thcy desire,. their* com-munities to be- corne, and. work 'to achieve these ideals, progréss will be achieveci.

There's a ýreason. You see, the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce, whose ,Meetings we attend,ôn those ýMondays, serves delicious cake and ice cream for refreshments at the close of its. sessions., However, don't be alarmed. We yield' not té the temptation, but swaàllow our 'dessert as usual. It wouldn't be. righ.t to go to the meeting, with a hungry lookc, and play unduly upon the emo- tions -of- B. T.

ANOTHER REAS014 FOR THA]NKSGIV- ING: These nocturnal wanderings of our mind (if any), have been dignified by the title, "Musings of Our Night- Editor.". that*, word "musings"' sounds far 'prettier than. "rgvings." INSPIRING BRAVERY: Every morning. wheii those roosters used to crow 'behind the m eat market a few blocks from our sleeping quarters, we used to wail and gnash teeth. .TIien, af ter the holidays, it was so quiet that we missed the crowing. We actually feit a 'littie bit sad, when we meditated that the roosters had probably flavored somebody's soup. SCame the dawn a few days ago, and with jt that old, familiar crowing. We were actualjyý inspired this time. Yessir, it's a pretty game bird. Though doomed to the soup kettie, he's greeting the dawn' as lustily, as if lie were b~ack on the farm. Crowing "reveille," instead o.f "taps"ý-that's wbat we cal spirit!
