Philosophy.
How few know the meaning of
the word friend" To many it
simply means a good fellow" or
some n who can be used to an adj
vantage. The true friend, however,
is the one who never fails to re-
spond to the call for aid; the one
who will believe in you, stick to
you, swear by you and help you
though the entire world turn against
you.

%ten-verse poem dedicated to one OF
the prominent sports in this burg.
Here's the first four spasms;
He was a real good fellow,
She a winsome lass, =
He was tenderly devoted, a
And thought that she was class.
He worshipped every moment
Spent ia jollity and lark
With this corn-fed little maiden
Who had stolen away his heart
1t was mutual infatuation
For she was not in jest,
And was there at the grand finale
To pass the great love test.
But now we have the adage
Bout true love running smooth,
A tattler came between them
And put affection on the move.
