GET YOURSELF RIGHT

You are disquieted and want to quit and go somewhere else and do something else. We'll, last year you was in the same fix. You wanted then what you have got now, and still you are not satisfied with what you have; and nine chances to one if you get next year what you want now, you will go through it in the same old "grouch." ]" The trouble is in you and not in your surroundings. Read Heb, 13:5, and get right, and things will get right about you.

FANS ALREADY TALKING
OF HOCKEY PROSPECTS
HANCOCK FOLLOWERS OF GAME
BELIEVE p. L. SEVEN WILL
WIN TITLE.

Although the football season has
just opened, hockey fans are discuss-
ing the prospects for the coming sea-
son. Local fans are of the opinion
that the Portage Lake seven will have
an excellent chance to win the cham
pionship title this year and they are
eagerly awaiting the first game.
1t is likely that the Portage lake
seven will again be composed of the
same players ana Hancock will again
contribute its share of hockey prod
uct to uphold the green and white
colors. Hogan, captain of last years
team. will again be i'm the game. FL
mer SicOtte, known as the speedest
man on skates i'm this district. will
be back on the ice when the season
opens. EEley, the reliable right wing
recruit, has announced that he will
again don his skates. These men
form a strong nucleus for the Portage
Lake squad ana are all from Hancock.
Haug. the veteran net guardian, will
play his former position while Trath-
en- probably viii play at point. "Ole"
Haas is still i'm this district and will
again play center. II is expected that
Skinner of Calumet, played left wing
last year, will again play with the To-
cal seven but definite announcement
To this effect has not been made.
With these players representing the
Portage Lake district in the American
Hockey league. followers Of the sport
believe the local seven will have an
excellent chance To win the champion
ship and the MacNaughton trophy.
May Form Junior League.
Amateur players OF Hancock have
been advocating the organization of
Junior league. There is every likeli-
hood that such a step will be taken
as representatives of various teams
have already announced such an in
tention. Junior hockey has always
been followed closely by lovers of the
sport and would continue to take well
i'm this district.
The plan is to have a team formed
i'm every town in the county. 1t is
expected that meeting will be held
I'm the near future for the purpose Of
launching plans for the league. Of
ficers will he elected and the rules to
he followed by the sevens entered
drawn up. Strong teams would be en-
tered from Calumet Lake Linden.
