/ WANT TO BE A SCOUT

While sitting in my cave one day
Afeelin' sort of blue,
A newsboy hustled in and said:
Good morning! How d. dov'
His shoes were split his pants
were ripped,
He hadn't any tie
But 'twould have done you good
to see
The twinkle in, his eye.
Hello" said /. Hello, yerself, =
He answered with a grin.
What's your name," ! asked
and who
The dickens let you in?"
my name is Jim, but that ain't
what
| came to see you about.
Say, mister, tell me how to join
/ want to be a scout"
In this big land | guess there are
A million boys at least
From Portland on the western
coast
To Portland in the east
Who, wish with all their hearts
and souls,
That they could wear hat
And khaki pants and flannel shirt
And leggings and all that;
And hike and camp and do first
aid,
Grow tanned and strong and
tall,
And do their good turns every
day,
And shinney up a wall!
You bet they want to do it! Can't
You almost hear them shout
Won't some one please give me
a chance?
/ want to be a scout

Life at it's best is always q
struggle. Life is a problem given
to you and me for our individual
solution no one can work it out
for us, though many may help.
but our own living of our lives
constitutes our solution of our
problem. Why not make your
answer sum total Of achieve
ment? To have the great and
worth while things Of life. we
must fight to win, and having
won we must still fight to hold!
A victory over unfavorable cir
cumstances and conditions is
splendid. But the mere wiling
ness and moral stamina to put
up a fight" is q big and worth
while thing. There is q certain
victory in the mere throwing of
of sloth and laziness and girding
yourself for the fray. The stages
Of success are three first the

ness to 90 on striving Of the face
OF seeming failure; and third
the courage and wisdom t0 turn

CONCERNING EXTRA
SESSION WORK
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 16.-Governor
Harris has as yet issued no call for a
special session of the legislature. He
has made no intimation as to the time
it will likely be held, but friends be-
lieved to be in close touch with the
situation, think the date will be placed
in the early part of December.
In fact, the governor has made no
statement concerning the probable ex
ira session which will furnish a basis
for any conclusion, 1t is not known
whether he will include prohibition iu
his proclamation or not
Should Governor Harris stick to his
original intention of having the ses
sion in December, nearly month will
likely elapse before he issues call.
Every element in the law-making
body is attempting to exert it's pres
tige and power in an effort to bring
the extra session to their way of think
ing, but Georgia's governor is sitting
steady and making up his own mind.
