Highball's Great Improvement.
Highball ran a vastly improved race from
start to finish. He met Irish Lad on even

gave weight to all of the others The
American Derby winner, with Odom UP, was
third from the outset and stood a terrific
drive through the stretch.
Waterboys defeat was problem that the
wise men could not solve. except with the
statement that he was outrun at all stages
and was killed off by the pace The famous
son of MISUNDERSTANDING warmed up in
magnificent style and the great crowd was

Lyme rated WaterbOy in fourth place all

called on the black horse to go up to the

thousands of dollars went into the strong
boxes Of the bookmakers. John A. Drake

Mt. Pleasant boys but in the ecOnd in

twelve men and allowing but four hits for

a broader truth than the context indicates.
and invite to recognize that In life there
Is place for rest as well as for work Ana
there is almost no admonition of which we
stand in greater need in the midst of our
twentieth century rush and hustle. than
this.
There are three rest times which must
be conscientiously observed If life Is to be
maintained at its best. The first OF these
is the rest time that comes between the
days. Blessed be the man who invented
sleep. 1t covers one all over like cloak
You can put off hunger and thirst. but not
sleep. We have all had days when 1T was
no working any longer and We went to
sleep with a feeling Of despair. to awake in
the sweet morning to find the school prob
lens solved. the household confusion un-
tangled the business perplexftieS grown
clear. The second rest time of which 1
would speak Is the rest time Of the one day
in seven which the good Father in His kind
ness has set apart for His chidren's re-
freshment. The Lord said to the disciples
in Gethsemane. Take your rest. but sew
eral thousand years before lie had said TO
mankind from Sinai. Six days shalt thou
labor. but on the seventh thou shalt rest.
AS individuals and as nation we need to
be reminded of our Sunday privileges.
Nor is the rest day Of value only for
physical and mental refreshment. 1t is
equally needed for spiritual restoration and
Soul-culture."
He spoke also of a third rest time. one
which he said is much in the thoughts of
tired people these summer days. namely, the
rest time Of vacation. He said:
1T goes without the proving that not the
iders, but the toilers. are the folks who
need the vacation rest. For the man who
has worked hard for eleven months Of the
year the holiday month is a season Of pure
delight. Like money, to be enjoyed, a va
cation must be earned. To be Of real value
1t must also be spent in the right way
ITO be genuinely successful a vacation
must be the right length. Long enough.
but not too long. From the holiday rest we
should return having new Joy I'm the du-
ties Of the Office or the home, feeling that
It Is good TO plunge into the midstream Of
work again. to battle with its tides and
Outright its storms BY this sure evidence
we may know that our outing has been OF
real value, and that we have been morally
strengthened by our holiday"
