honor you. Win your laureis before
you wear them, and do not be in toe
much haste for it is better the slow
way of striving and counting small
gains when the year Is done. than to
waste all our forces, graspng for
pleasures we have not won"
The next grafton, entitled "Stay on
the Fence" was delivered by Ernst f
Stuckey. He said:
"'Twixt the optimist and the pessi-
mist the difference Is droll. The opti-
mist sees the doughnut, the pessimist
sees the hole. From'the standpoint OF
the hungry boy, at least in this case,
optimism might seem to be the more
favorable view of affairs. The opti-
mist believes this to be the best world
possible and the pessimist believes II
to be the worst In general these two
terms are used in q non-technicai
sense. An optimist Is held to be one
who looks on the bright side of af-
fairs, and n pessimist one who looks
on the dark side.
"To illustrate my view on this sub
ject, let us imagine the opti-pessi-
mlstic world here before us. Imagine
a long mountain range crossing this
stretch of land and dividing it into
these two valleys. This great barrier
separates optimism from pessimism,
On this side the sun Is shining bright
ly in the clear spring sky. Here al
our feet lie fertile fields and Verdant
woods giving off the sweet perfume
of the wild flowers. All Is happiness
and sunshine. The inhabitants of this
realm of optimism are as free from
care and sorrow as the little child who
sits playing with his blocks, and what
Is more, they are almost as narrow
minded. They are almost as far from
a high degree of intellectually as
were the ancient tribes who thought
their little country was the whole
world because they knew nothing OF
other lands. These optimists are un-
acquainted with the region beyond
this towering barrier, the fence.
"But what of the land across the
barrier? Let us imagine ourselves TO
be on the other side. Here there Is
no sunshine 1t Is hidden by this bar
rler and these dark foreboding clouds
which fill the sky. Before us are the
Ni'NNH'u HONtlS Wv SSAic"
laden poverty and disease stricken
people live. There are no fertile fields,
no beautiful woods, no winding rivers.
There are no singing birds, the inhab'
itants hear no music. The only sound
which greets their ears is the thunder
of the approaching storms of sorrow
and misfortune. These people are
just as narrow-minded as the people
who live In the valley of sunshine, for
they know nothing of the other world
"Do you desire to be as narrow
minded as the inhabitants of either OF
these two countries? You say. no
Then what is to be done In order that
both the optimist and the pessimisi
may become honest, enlightened? First
you must be more liberal in thought

world Get the desire to travel, tO
learn something Of the world and

broaden your opinions OF all, and ac-
cept things as they really exist. Sep
arate yourselves from the narrowness
of both the optimist or pessimism.
Stay on the fence"
The last Grafton on the program
was that of W. Dudley Findley whose
subject was "Signs of the Times" Mr..
Findley said in part:
THE signs of the times I'm relation
to the progress of our nation should
be considered I'm reference to three
things-religion, commercialism AMI
politics. The religion established by
our forefathers Is one of the greatest
elements. 1t gives the people freedom
of belief, 1t has always been factor
in this country and always will be
and If II ever has a downfall, the lack
of religion will be one of the main
causes.
"In commercialism this country
surpasses any other nation. At first
our commerce was slight but it soon
grew and reached stage which ex-
cited the jealousy of our mother
country. But our commerce has
steadily grown and today the stars
and stripes are familiar in every
port of the world.

ment in the national life is politics

the Lanks found him for a three

chances to win. Newark scored In

He had 10 chances and many of them
were difficult, but he handled all Of
them cleanly. Franken's one-handed

ecutive is like Il ship in n storm with

for the people, but for the trusts. A
nation can not be greater than its
ideas OF citizenship.
After due consideration Of the
facts which | have endeavored to pre-
sent to you in the short time allotted

clude that the signs of the times at

cation of religious, commercial and
political affairs With view of elm
mating the pretender from religion,
dishonesty and double dealing from
commercialism, and graft and hypoc-
racy from politics"

STORY OF Slaughter.

Chlllicothe, May 27.-Dggers made
their initial appearance on the Ross
county lot yesterday afternoon and II
Ia certain that the small gathering
of bugs that Witnessed the fray will
never forget the slaughter of the
Babes as staged by the folks from
Marion.
And II was some slaughter. Fiji
teen to nothing was the count at the
close and scorers wondered after II
was all over whether or not they had
missed any OF the runs, Diggers came
over the rubber so fast that counting
them was difficult.
The youthful, but talented Boyer
was trotted out by Manager Lewis
while Fletcher was the local selection.
Boyer was good all of the way with
excellent control He kept laying
them over In such way that Babes
had to hit and almost always there
was an eager Digger I'm the path.
On the other side of the fence
Fletcher was a mark for Digger swat
boys. The fusllade opened in the first
and did not end until the ninth. In
only two innings did the locals retire
the visiting Diggers runless and even
In those innings the callers were thick
on the bricks. Fletcher lasted about
three innings and was succeeded by
Scott who got his II ever a HEAVIER
did Four boots by the locals helped
along the Digger scoring. The WIS.,
itors showed the lowly locals no
mercy but kept up the hammering all
of the way through and all that the
Babes could do was to try and put
the upstate boys out and end the
agony. This they finally accomplish
ed.
Hitting, and hitting hard was easy
for the Diggers. Yet in all that ele-
CANT smashing which lasted about
one hour and three-quarters, there
was but one extra base hit--a double
by Colligan. Fast work by the local
outfield held several screaming drives
10 singles and cut off several more
hat looked like hits. Thomas hit the
all hard but could not land safely;
was the only Digger who did not
itten his swat record.
Diggers put Ayette around In the
first frame; made another In the sec
ond and then batted Fletcher out In
the third, making four counters. Scott
got away good considering all things,
when he went on the rubber in the
fourth. but in the fifth Diggers gave
him very nice sample of what will
sometimes happen to lads whose prin-
aipai assets are a prayer and glove.
