northeast part of the county, was
out doing the chores their house
and contents were burned to the
ground. Mr.. Owens was away
from home working and Mrs.
Owens was at home alone to look
after the chores. 50 before going
out she started the fire, and
while out milking she heard
noise like the roaring of an auto
mobile coming. and thinking it
was her husband coming, looked
out and discovered the house al
most burned to the ground. The
fire had made such a head way
that it was impossible to save
anything, everything they had in
the house was consumed by the
fire, even to their winters food
and wearing apparel, also what
money they had. 1t was heavy

every L-R0UND ATHLETE MUST
KNOW HOW TO SWIm--START NOW
WHILE YOU HAVE GOOD OPPORTUNITY

Ralph Waldo Emerson knew a man
when he met one: most Of all he loved
men Of independence, men who were suf-
hcient In themselves for the meeting Of
every obstacle that was placed in their
path. Emerson was an American true
to type; most all good Americans are
like him though few approach his men
tai enormity. A true American loves in
dependent men; men who think for them
selves, work for themselves; who can
excel in work and play.
Given an unselfish and congenial dis
position, the all-round boy is bound to
be popular. Did you ever know a good
fellow who was able at baseball, tennis
racquet, football. bowling, chess men,
checker men. piano, violin. and spiked
shoes who was not popular! Probably
not, and there are many who can use
all these commercially. One Of the not
able things about an all-round good fell
low Is the fact that he is not satisfied
with one or two accomplishments; he is
bound to practice many things both in
work and play. And, say, can you pic
ture an all-round youth who cannot
swim? Guess not!
There once lived in Kennebec county
young man who fancied the highest
attainment; he could not rest with a fair
exhibition. He first headed the list Of
Maine tennis players and was after that
satisfied to play good game at tennis
Then he mastered the pool and billiard

cue 50 we'll that he could not be beaten.
and after demonstrating his excellence
in this line he was satisfied with the
playing Of fair game. Bowling was his
next love and he hung up the highest
strings in several tournaments with the
States best bowlers. He was later al
ways a good bowler but challenged no
champion. And SO in every line Of sport
in which he became interested he perse-
vered until he was the master Of all his
associates in the sport. From early boy
hood he was as much at home in the
water as a wild duck. 1t is not neces-
sary to become a champion in order to
be Of all-round independence in sport;
some fellows never head the list Of lead
ers. But the fellow who cannot SWIM
Gee. he isn't even started. Where
would he fit on a camping trip on a
Maine lake? What right has he to step
foot In canoe? He ought not even to
be invited to watermelon party.
1t does not take long to become
swimmer and you will be better satisfied
with yourself after you have mastered
the simple art; also your friends will be
better satisfied with you. And, best of
all. you can have the best of instruction
next week without charge. Fill in
Journal-Y. NJ. C. A. swimming coupon,
