Nothing Easy


Nothing at all Is easy 10 life,
Nothing worth while can be done
with ease;
A stern, brave battle is that OF strife,
On the hills of blue or the conquer
ing seas. u
Nothing is easy to do that's great
With lofty purpose and art su-
preme;
Toll and struggle and grief and'care-
Nothing In life is moments
dream!
Nothing worth winningds won with
ease,
The goal worth reaching Is sacred
ground,
And it can't be reached In a gentle
walk,
Or a burst of speed and leap and
bound.
The eagle of victory perches high,
And the climbing soul has far to
! climbjH7
With death and doubt in the wales
below. i2
And the stars far off on the hills
! of time.
Nothing one does, II he does 1T well,
Is easy and simple and quick and
light t.. ....-.
The task Of life is difficult task,
To do it we'll and to do 1t right.
Nothing comes easy, the STRIFE is
hard,
But the thing worth doing-ah,
that repays
For the ache and grlefand the dust
and CRIME
land the infinite pain of the toiling
days!

Two Hugoton men are out s55 as
result of buying a team and wagon
from stranger about two weeks ago.
The outfit belonged to a man at Ty-
rome who sent the party to top maize
on land west Of Hugoton. Said party
seems to have experienced an attack
of wanderlust and offered the outfit
for sale cheap, and 1t was purchased
by Lloyd Cady and W. W. Hayward,
who afterward sold his interest to T..
P. Patterson. The driver had engag-
ed ride In an auto to Liberal and as
soon as he received the money on his
check, he went. In few days the
owner of the team and wagon arrived
on the scene and claimed his property.

They say the stamps are of inferior

They say you can put 'em on and wear

Among the most needed improve

those which will make these vessels
safer and more habitable for their

The worst result of these conditions
on board submarines is that naval
officers do not care to remain in that
branch of the service, and there al
ways is a shortage of experienced
officers to take charge OF the sub
marines. Six months Of training suffice
to make a man fairly competent In
submarine work. but an officer who has
