Search for Lost Lads at Hoskins.

The community of Hoskins was
aroused on Wednesday when a call
was sent out for aid in searching for
the small sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Small
wood who had been missing since ear
ly morning when they were permitted
to go into the hills TO hunt for grey
diggers. The lads left home about
nine o'clock in the morning and at
four in the afternoon their parents
called Sheriff Orr to enlist his assist
anee in a search that had by that time
involved most of the residents in the
community An hour later the lads,
aged 6 and 10 years, came home un-
eoncernedly and reported that they
had had an excellent time with neigh
bors who picked them up just after
thev had started on their hunt and
had taken them on an outing.

I am a Booster, because Boost ing begeteth Optism; and Optism maketh a fellow to wax joyful with much smiling. Smiling is a Health-tonic and Big Brother to happiness.
 Boosting "gets there" both with hands and feet. Boosting doth open it's eyes in the morning with determination; it goes to bed at night "tickled most to kill' cause it hath ''made good".
 Boosting hath 'the punch" al- right. A good Boost handeth a strong wallop to Crouch and sendeth pessimlst to the Bone yard
 Therefore, Pm resolved to Boost! I will boost for the things most worth boosting. I will Boost for my Town. It's my home. I will Boost for my home paper. It'sithe only thing that will live when the Knockers are all dead I will Boost for our schools, our merch- ants, our "city dads", the city marshal, the doctor and the jani- tor, yea and all the rest that's worth boosting.
 But the Church of the Living God is better than all these. It is the Light, they are satellites; they will pass away but it will abide. If you want to grow to a full grown man heed the influence of the Christian Church. The Method ist Church is trying to help you. Come and you will find a Live Epworth League that Do Things.
