DEATH, PROGRESS AND coUR-
AGE.-Death is the extinction of life,
but whether our departure from this
earth is the extinction of all life has
never been ascertained by any living
person We know that here we are
little, tiny atoms, trying to do our bit
to keep the ball rolling, which means
that some are producing by hard la
Dor what the world needs and others
are living on what they produce.
We know that when our strength
and usefulness give out we are
pushed into the beyond. Our part
has been played, and whether good
or bad we are no longer seen on
earth.
We are then dead as far as living
here is concerned and what is sup
posed to be the beyond should not
deter from doing good to the world
and humanity.
Some live in the hopes of going to
better field when they go from here,
yet they do their best to deprive the
poor deserving ones Of their just dues
here, where we all should be just and
fair.
Elimination of poverty and crime
can only be accomplished through a
change of the entire system or the
building of safer and cleaner soci-
ETY..
Progress means advancement and
it applies to anything, yet unless
every man, woman and child can
have the full benefit of their labor we
cannot say that we have real progress
and advanced religion and civiliza-
ton. Folks who claim to be for the
good of suffering humanity, but con-
trawise are for the money, condemn |
their souls-if there is such a thing |
as soul. And this does not apply

weak and the kidney secretions pass

sleep on account of an intense back
ache and felt nervous. In the morn

aches were common and my sight
blurred. l finally procured a box of

AS a variation from the regular
routine of Friday afternoon work the
members of the Lambda Sigma and
Ciceronian societies We'd last Friday
afternoon with each other on the
baseball diamond. The result of the
game, which was warmly contested
from start to finish, was a victory for
the Lambda Sigmas by a score Of
2 to 0.
Aside from the opportunity it af-
forded for the two societies to meas
ure strength in athletics the game
was valuable in demonstrating that
there is excellent material at hand
for the high school team this season.
Though the Ciceronians were out
numbered by the Lambda Sigmas in
point of the number of players avail
able for use in the game the Cicero
mans put up a well played and stub
bornly contested game.
The box work of the two teams was
notably good. Hitler Brim twirled
for the Lambda Sigmas and A. J.
Baldwin for the Ciceronians. Jack
McNulty was behind the bat for the
former team, and Ernest King for
the latter. The Lambda Sigmas scor-
ed early in the game, and they were
able later to send another runner
over the pan, while holding the Cice-
romans scoreless.

News of Interest From The High
School Societies.
Frank T. Long, Editor.

A large number of students and
many visitors saw the game through,
cheering for the respective teams
from time to time. The game was
by no means one-sided affair, as 1t
seemed several times that the Cicero
mans would circle the bases and tie
the score. The game was enjoyed
by all. Perry DoZier umpired the
game to the satisfaction of both
teams.
Another game of last week was
that between the eighth grade and a
picked team composed of members
of the fifth and sixth grades. This
game, which was played Wednesday
afternoon, resulted in victory for
the eighth grade by score of 2 to L.
Hunter Bell and Jack McNulty COM
posed the battery for the eighth
grade, and Genie Crouch and CLAIR
ence Bridges did the pitching and
catching for the fifth and sixth grade
team.
On account of the fact that the
volley ball, which was ordered some
time ago, has not arrived practice on
the voIley ball court has been indefi-
nitely delayed. The court, however,
has been completed and it is in good
shape for play as soon as the ball ar
rives. The girls of the high school
are manifesting much interest in the
new game, and there will be some
excellent playing later on.
