Why is it wrong to gamble? Is there
anyone in this enlightened state Of

wrong to gamble? l can give you $50

Hard to Reform One.
To change the webbing habit the
wobbler must be caught early, in the
days Of long dresses and teething rings
and collie. He must be taught then to
make his decisions slowly and stoutly
to stand by them. He must learn that
a promise is a thing as sacred as holy
writ, that every mans or woman's
promise is later scripture. They must
know that the promise breaker is a de-
spicable creature. one smirched to ev-
cry one who knows of the broken
promise, as with dishonor. The child
who deliberately or carelessly breaks
a promise should be spanked as sOundly
as the child who has told lie. For
there is no essential difference between
the two.
Friends OF the WObbler say that there
are greater attributes than consistency.

are succeeded by the dwarfed trees

Of the immovable things in a universe
of change. Charity given, it should be

Routine Work Is Growing
Too Heavy for Monthly
Meetings.

There is possibility that two meet
ings Of the school board will be held
each month in the future instead of
one. One of the meetings is to be for
the purpose of disposing OF bills and
acquisitions and other routine mat
tiers, While the other will be for the
purpose of discussing other matters of
Importance which require NOR time.
Routine work has become so heavy
that it takes up too much time at the
regular meeting and crowds out dis
cussion of other matters, and it is
possible that the first of these semi
monthly meetings will be held next
week, though the day has not yet been
