FALLS cITY's CHALLENGE.

Falls City can never rise to the
high social and moral level of the ty-
pieal American town until she shakes
herself free from her seryile sub
lection to boss rule. Falls City is
greatly favored geographically and
industrically. Environment is con
spring to make our city the railroad
and industrial center of a large and
prosperous community. But what is
Falls City herself doing to prove her
self worthy of this distinction? What
are the advance measures which we
are projecting? What are the issues
In the PRONUNCIATION of which we are
proving our capacity to lead? What
has Falls City done to challenge
either the admiration or respect of
her competitors? These are serious
questions, and demand a hearing.
They challenge every man and woma
In Falls City, What are we doing
to make good? The advantages that
come TO us from without are not to
our credit unless we prove our ca
pacity to conserve them. Our pres
ent good fortune and material pros
perlty must be met and matched by
internal growth. In other words if
we Go not become a better city be-
cause of II added advantages. they

stead of being a blessing will prove
our undoing. Water cannot rise

"COACHED7 SON TO VICTORY
Mothers Advice That May Have
Helped Player to Swell His
Batting Average.

Ernie" Cozens, catcher of the Uni

football team, had an inspiration
real and l~ife-size - in the Albright
game several days ago that netted
him a two-base hit just when he
wanted it.

tousled-haired backstop had only
garnered one hit during all the flu
sillade of the afternoon. 1t was one
more he needed to swell his bat
ting average.
Among the spectators were his
mother and sister, who are loyal
daughters Of Penn and present at
every game to watch the pride of the
family flock perform. lust as the
ninth inning opened up they left their
seats in the grand stand and started
to leave the field.
1t happened at that moment that
Ernie" came to bat. Both women
stopped in front of the press box and
watched the game over the iron
fence which incloses the playing field.
Cozens' first attempt was a foul
that went back in the b~leachers.

shouted the mother, e~xcitedly. Hit

Ernie did hit it far into center field,
and a to the second base on the hit.

SERMON FROM BERNARD SHAW
Truths in an Exceedingly Plain
Manner, as Usual.

Mr.. Shaw said a great deal of what
had been enormously called religion
for the last 300 years had been moth
ing else than a conspiracy to try and
persuade themselves and others that
virtue was a cheap thing. Virtue was
not a cheap thing-no good things
were cheap. II they wanted a decent
and yirtuous population-which they
had not at present-they would have
to pay for it. But after all, the eX-
pense would not be SO great as the
expense of the present system. They
ought to make up their minds, since
they were going to spend money on
the people, that it should be spent
s%ensibly, and that they should try to
keep people in efficiency and health.
This was a matter which should be
thought over carefully. For two CEN
turtles past the main object of the Eng
lish people had been to avoid think
ing. They liked a nan who would get
on the platform and tell them that
they would muddle through. This
country was really at the present
time in a deplorsble and appalling
condition. He publicly apologized to

Love and the Romantics.

In the sphere of love, as in SO many

school of the romantics. st. Angus

of the school of the romantic lovers;
1t was het who, describing his first

love of love-the unconquerable aspi-
ration of the young and the magma

state offices has not been definitely de-

insist that campaign should be

is conceded, will be a candidate for

Leading democrats are of the opinion
that if the factional warfare OF the
republicans extends to the state offices
a democratic victory is certain TO re-

named at the state convention to be
held in Ottumwa the last week of July.
The republican convention is TO meet
