LuMINA REUEAu
Missing Since Last Friday-GirI of is
 Then Left Cotton Mill.

Miss Lun1ina Reaneau has disap- peared from her home on the West Side and not a trace of her can be found.
 She has been missing since last Friday afternoon when she left the winding machine which she is en- ployed to operate in the mill of the Danielsonville Cotton company. Her disappearance is the more mysterious because no reason can be assigned as a plausible explanation for her leaY- ing her parents home.
 Miss Reneau is a tall, slender girl of IS, with dark hair and eyes. She is the daughter of MT and Mrs. Pi- ere Reneau of the West Side Fri day at noon, when she came home, she had been crying and offered the explanation that things had not gone right at the mill, At one o'clock she returned to the mill and her machine, but did not remain much more tlRn an hour Since that time all knowl- edge of her actions is lost
 A. M. Cloutier of the West Side claims to have seen her about four o'clock Thursday afternoon in the store of Henry Dembo in the Key stone block
 where she might have gone can be obtained. When last seen she wore a blue and white checked cotton skirt and shirt waist, and a short black coat. She wore no hat. It was at first believed that she might have gone to visit friends, but thorough search of the town has not only failed to To- cate her. but has deepened the anxi- ety of the family.
 She has always been a good girl and the grief stricken parents are at a loss to know why she would go away.
 As time passes, the suspicion that their lost daughter may have taken her own life grows upon them. They have said little about the affair, ex- cept to neighbors.
 It is believed that the girl had Iit- tie, if any, money with her when she went away, and this is another fact that makes her family believe that some injury has come 70 her. The mat ter has not been reported to4the po- lice. 4i4

Described by Rev. R. s. cushn1an in
 Baccalaureate Address.

In has baccalaureate sermon to the senior class of Killingly high school, Rev. R. S. Cushman said in part:
 Study to show myself approved un- to God, workman who needeth not to be ashamed. We might infer from there words that Paul was acquainted with two ideals of success and tive types of so-called successful men. Let us look at them. They are familiar. One is get rich honestly if you Gan, but get rich; get position, get power, get success, honestly if you can, but get it.
 "The motto of the other type of man is Study to make the most of myself. These are two distinct ideals. The one places wealth and power and position first-tfe one sees success as external the other sees success as within. The one makes suc- cess the result of wealth and honors; the other makes success the result of ability and self-improvement
 "The one says get success and the other says be a. success.
 Easily Discouraged.
 Too many want success before they have earned it. They become discour- aged before they have half tried. This IS why the shores of life are strewn with wreckage Study to show thy self to be workman who need not to be ashamed.
 Questions to Be Answered.
 The busy, practical world requires success and asks the question, Does he bring things to pass?-Is he a grow ing man? Does he know his business :? Does he speak with authority? It is a sad fact that the earth is encum- bered with the corpses of men who are walking about. I quote here from a book on Ginger Talks. Some men are dead long before they are buried. It is delusion that man has to wait 50 or SO years to die. If the spirit of the man-the soul of hope and courage within his breast-has been extinguished, he is as dead as he ever will be, even though his body con- tinues to walk the streets.
 The True Ambition.

can make the most of ourselves. We never in the truest sense can be a success until we take into account the Great Master of the world. A man can only expect to make the most of himself by being fellow worker with God. Be ambitious, but remember there is an ambition that will sting like a viper those who misuse it in life. Ambition may be the lodestone of failure or the kneynote of success. Link your life to God.
