If you'll believe Bobby Coon,
Is the poorest excuse
Meath the sun or the moon
Bobby ought to know. In fact, he
says that he does know. He knows
because he has proved it more than
once. Not that Bobby is in the habit
Of forgetting, like Peter Rabbit, for

that. He is far too smart and shrewd

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY
Room at the Tdp.

There's ever a crowd in the valley,
For the lower a soul descends
The more it finds Of the smaller minds
That seek III their selfish ends.
There's com%panionship in the valley;
With others your lot is thrown.
But the man who tries for sthe larger
prize
Must travel the heights alone.
He must make for himself a path
way
Where no other foot Ger trod
Till he grows complete in content
ment sweet
AS he learns to walk with. God.
Though the summit is cold and
bleak,
Yet the radiant burst of the dawn
falls first
Like a blowing rose on the peak.
Then dare the paths of the mountain,
spirit with godlike fire,
whose depths are stirred by an in
ward word -
To struggle and to aspire!
Be not content, with the sluggard,
In the valley. Of life, to stop,
But with purpose bold heed the adj

There's always room at the top.

HOPE CAR SERVICE
WILL Be BETTERED
GayIOr and Associates PromiS-
ed No Concessions Until
Service is Improved and
Citizens Confident.

In the recent campaign one of the
strongest planks in the independent
platform as well as a personal pledge
OF the mayor-elect was Mr.. Gaylor's
promise that he would not grant the
street car company & single conces-
sion or privilege until this company
gave the city better service and uni
versaI transfers to all parts Of South
Bend"
Citizens will watch with interest
the carrying out OF this pledge when
the new administration assumes the
reins OF Office. That street car service
IN Mishawaka is very bad is an ad-
mitted fact and IL has long been the
subject OF much comment. The city
council has been entreated, civic and
industrial clubs have pleaded and
private citizens have asked, but the
service, IL is said. has not improved.
The majority OF fair-minded citf-
zens would not ask that the universal
transfers be given IL the city and
South Bend service would be improv-
ed. The north side line seems 10 be
the bone of contention. Here il takes
an hour and Is minutes to make the
trip to South Bend and return, a dis

in the cars on cold mornings while
the crew worked hopefully ct the

J leaving the wintry winds circle
through the cars with front and rear
doors open, fearlessly have they re-

men, yet all has been In vain and the
con- pany's ears have been stopped to
the pleas.
That these and other grievances
may be righted b. the incoming ad-
ministratiOn is the earnest hope Of
many citizens who cast their lot with
the new political creature at the last
election Many feel that the plank
pledging better car service was the
big plank Of the independent plat
form and they believe that this party
or the party growing from it can only
hope 10 perpetuate Itself through a
faithful observance of it.
Meanwhile the citizens will look
with disfavor at the granting of ANY
privileges to the company until the
service is improved"

GEORGE VINS0N HAS
UNIQUE SOUVENIRS

George Vinson, proprietor of the
Vinson barber shop, Is the owner OF
two very unique souvenirs of Asia,
Judkins several days ago. One OF the
articles is a handmade comb mich is
cut from solid block. The comb
is rather a crude affair but it is the
kind used IN the native barber shops
throughout Asiatic countries. Mr..
Vinson has also received a handmade
razor. Although it resembles the
razors used in America and is made
from substantial steel, il does not
come quite up to the standard Of the
blades used by local tonsOrial artists.

HOPE MUNICIPAL TREE
WILL BE PERPETUATED

After being illuminated each even
ing for a week the municipal Christ
mas tree has been removed. The tree,
large pine, was placed at the corner
OF Second and Mill SITS, on the Dodge
lot by the Womans club and ii was
trimmed and Illuminated with a star
and colored lights by the city. Christ
mas eve carols were sung beneath the
tree and the first municipal Christmas
tree was enjoyed by the city.
fbe tree has been removed, but
with it has gone the earnest prayer
OF many that il will return again an
other year. The idea is a splendid
one and il is believed and hoped by
citizens generally that the Woman's
club or any other organization Will
perpetuate the custom.
