l used to think it was great to dis
~gard happiness, to press to a high
goal, careless, disdainful of it. But
now [ see that there is nothing SO
great as to be capable of happiness
to pluck it out of each moment, and,
whatever happens, to find that one
can ride as gay and buoyant on the
angry, menacing, tumultuous waves
of life as on those that glide and
glitter under clear sky; that it is
not defeat and Indebtedness which
come out of the storms of adversely,

Flowing With Dogs.

One of our correspondents while
waiting for a steamer at Eagle on
the Yukon was attracted by loud
bowling in several different keys,
accompanied by string of fluent
oaths and curses, writes the editor
of The Engineering and Mining
Journal.
On investigating the source of
the uproar he discovered an in
dignant prospector- farmer attempt
ing to pillow a small field with a
team of five big shaggy "huskies'
1t was July 5, and the tempera-
tnre was IS degrees in the SADIE. h
The poor dogs, with swollen
tongues hanging from their mouths.
were struggling gamely in the sun,
but were moving the pillow only by
small irregular jerks.
Every few minutes they would
throw themselves exhausted on the
ground, and then their excited
master would assail them with whip,
boots and verbal pyrotechnics
simultaneously.
Altogether, it was picturesque,
but ineffective, blowing. Unluckily
there was no local S. P. C. A.

IN SCHOOL MEET

Meet ever held in Hunterdor
County was declared by every one
who attended or participated, g
complete success. The boys from
all of the four high school acquitteds
themselves very creditably, many
of them equaling records of boys
their own age.
Pennington won the Meet by an
average score of 1865 points,
Clinton High School was second
with an average score of 222
points, only four and one half
points behind the winning school.
Lambertville was third with 1905
points and High Bridge fourth with
1926. The Meet was scored on
the basis of every boys record in
the events of his weight class.
On account of the quality of
details to be gone over by the
scorers, it was impossible to an
nounce the result of the meet on
the field. However it was soon
learned that Pennington was the
probable winner and there was
great excitemsnt among the boys of
Reading Academy.
The trophy of the Meet is large
maroon banner which was displayed
on the field, bearing the legend
Hunterdon County High School
Athletic Championship, 1914.
This banner becomes the perma-
nent property of the winning
school. Besides the banner, shields
are to be presented to the schools
in which the champion athletics
are and also shields for attaining
the honor standard for schools,
which is an average of 40 points
to each event for each boy.
The only school which attained
this standard was Reading Academy
which had an average of 40.7 points
for each event.
One of the features of the day
was the relay racewhich was won
by Lambertville High School. The
shield will be presented to this High
School for winning this event.
Among the star performances of
the day are numbered especially the
base ball throw by Lamar Quandell
of Lambertville of 318 feet. This
gives a score of 1873 points, the
highest score made by any boy in
any Individual event, and it is be-
lieved that this mark is the State
record for the base ball throw by 6
boy.
Steps are being taken to ascertain
if this be so. John Dorland of High
Bridge also threw the base ball
covering distance of 240 fee
which in his weight class of SO tt
ITO hounds scores him ITO points
J. E. Tine of Clinton was sta
performer in the broad jump, GOV
ering Is feet 9 inches in that even
and scoring 107 points. Fred Addi
of Reading Academy was best in thu
high jump, going over the bar at al
even 5 feet and scoring SO points.
w. Kemp, succeeded in putting
the eight pound shot AZ feet 8 inche
thus scoring 80 points.
The best record made in any o
the running events was scored b
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1914-06-10

Some very creditable perform
ances were recorded among the
younger boys.
Irving Taggert scored ga points
in the running broad jump by COW
ering IL feet and 2 inches.
R. Mcnamara of Lambertvllle
threw the base ball 1856 feet scoring
IS points for his school. Both OF
these boys are in the 81 to 95 pound
class.
A. Mangan of Lambertville who
is in the 60 to 80 pound class ran
the so yards in 7 is seconds scoring
70 points.
The Individual all round champions
of the county in the different events
weight classes are as follows: 90 to
80 pound class, A. Mangan, of Lam
bertville, average score $40 points;
81 to 95 pound class, R. Mcnamara,
average score 69.5 points; SO to ITO
pound class, John Dorland, of High
Bridge, average score "a points; Ill
to 125 pound class, the honors were
divided between Fred Adds of Flem
ington, and Edward Reardon, of
Lambertville, both boys scoring an
average of 84.3 points. This is the
highest Individual score made by any
of the boys in the meet and thus
Adds and Reardon are the all-round
champions of the county. In the
unlimited class, Lamar Quandell
leads with an average score of 81.7
points.
The local school champions are as
follows so to 80 pound class, A.
Mangan $40 points; 81 to 95 pound
class, R. Mcnamara 68.5 points;
90 to 10 pound class, l. Baumann
SIS points; Ill to 125 pound class,
E. Reardon 843 points; unlimited
class, Lamar Quandell, ST. points.

KANSAS is GETTING MORE
ROAD WORK FOR MONEY

Kansas is getting more for it's b.
million dollar road fund this year
than ever before, according to w. s.
Gearhart, state highway engineer.
"The sentiment on roads has
changed in the last few years" Mr..
Gearhart said. Heretofore the road
money was spent in a haphazard
fashion without regard to perma-
nence. The ground was scratched IN
a hundred places in township and
the next year it had TO be done over
again. Now the road work is being
done to last many years. If town
ship has $4,000 for road work 1t
uses that money building one road
the main thoroughfare to market,
as long as the money lasts. The road
is built for the future. Then, other
roads leading to this will be con-
structed. The farmers themselves
are responsible for this as they are
demanding permanent good roads IN
continuous line, rather than
stretch Of good roads and then some
bad road"
The first concrete country road II
Kansas was constructed at Bassett
Allen county, this fall. The contrac
called for 1000 feet Of concret'
road, part of which was eighteen ant
part sixteen feet wide. The cost :

FLOYD TOWERS TO HAVE
CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD

Floyd Towers, whose abandon
ment Of young babe in an empty
room at Harrington, last February,
created a sensation in that place and
in Mcpherson, was paroled to go TO
the home Of his father, a wealthy
farmer, who lives in Missouri.
The case of young Towers inter-
ested the board, which made a
thorough Investigation after the
father had made an appeal. There
was NO feeling against Towers, eth
er at Mcpherson or Harrington.
Towers, with his wife and baby
lived next door to his wife's par
ents' home in Mcpherson, and last
February, when his mother-in-law
gave birth to a child, she induced
him to take the unwelcome arrival
TO Herington and abandon 1t. The
baby was discovered before 1t died
and after five days of investigation
Towers was arrested. He pleaded
guilty to child abandonment and
was sentenced to the reformatory.
The young man was anxious Il
keep the bad news from his father
who is highly respected in his hom'
town, and it was only two weeks ag'
that the father heard Of his SON
trouble. The board found that Tow
ers' mother-in-law was blamed en-
ItireIy for the deed. The mayor
sheriff and county attorney at Nc
lPherson recommended his parole
The baby has since been adopted b
