How about it boys and girls, are
you going to become partner of idle
ness or partner of industry? Read
the story entitled 1.-THE Choice of
Hercales.'' and then make your de-
cision. The path of pleasure" Of
fers many attractions. The path of
tabor" means toll and sacrifice, but
the journeys end brings you to the
Blue Mountains. Hunter makes his
solution of the all important ques-
tion in the following manner: rs
there one whom difficulties disheart-
en-, who bends to the suorm2 He
will do little. Is there one who will
conquer2 This kind of man never
falls
Boys, does this include you? Prof
fessor McKeever of the State Agri-
cultural college, says of the cigarette
smoking boy; lone of the greatest
menaces to our moral and intellect
ual well-being today is the fact that
cigarette smoking is becoming pop
ular fad among boys and young men,
while the use of strong pipe is
close second in favor. Go where you
will in this broad land of ours. and
the pale faces, blear eyed, trembling
fingers and the foul stencil of cigar
cite fumes tell the same pathetic
story.
Here's to our basket ball team who
re strictly in it,
Who don't lose their heads for a
minute,
Play well the game, and know the
limit,
And still get all the fun there's in it.
Has it occurred to you that Hal

ton is being made to celebrate the

distant and secluded spot where
ghosts have campfires burning bright.
The means of conveyance will be
made in hayracks. Ladies are re-
quested to bring a box filed with
wennies, marshmellows, buns and
apples. Roasting, toasting and tell
ing stories will be INDUCED in by all.
The High School class will have
two basket ball teams. The boys and
girls are learning how to play the
game as we'll as make applications in
latin and algebra. If you don't be-
lieve it get into the school atmos-
phere and find it out.
Through this toilsome world, alas!
Once and only once we pass.
If kindness we may show
If a good deed we may do
To our suffering fellowmen,
Let us do it when we can
Nor delay it, for tits plain
We shall not pass this way again.
