The Business of Life

Jesus said, GA mans life consistent not
in the abundance of things which be pos
sesseth.'' Perhaps of all the truths in the
Bible none is more needed in this age. A
missionary said, "My business is to
preach the gospel of Jesus Christ; cobble
shoes to pay expense" Whatever our Job,
we need to pay expense, but the business
of life should be the forwarding of truth,
the putting of it in practice, the raising Of
ourelves, the community, and those who
have need of us.-Harper's

People always love to remember the just
and honest man-after he is dead.
Several instruments purchased for the
band, by the state, arrived during the week.
Many man has hard job on his hands
trying to make name for his family.
Mass was held in the Auditorium last Sun
day morning, Father Corcoran officiating.
We won last Saturdays game because the
visitors made just as many errors as we did.
The Earth's population is LOO, 900, 900
souls-no wonder the belligerents keep at it
SO long.
Wonder what some fellows would do for
speech if they could not find anybody to
listen to them?
Never worry for one minute if you are
dead in love-ten to one, you will come
to life again.
About eighty inmates went to Confession
last Saturday afternoon and received Holy
Communion Sunday morning.
Some people are very happy with little;
Others are unhappy with everything they can
get-it's human nature, of course.
A big cash balance in the bank will open
many door to you that would otherwise
have remained shut to you forever.
The Band played several pieces for the
visitors last Saturday, which was very much
enjoyed judg from their applause.
BIO would like 10 exchange the follow
ing: New York Star, Theater Magazine,
Farm Journal, and Physical Culture. for
any bright reading matter.
When you leave this place again be sure
that you don't strike the bottle, if you do,
you may be sure that it will strike back and
may knock you off your feet for good.
There is now room in the Band for seven
more men. Anyone who can, or wishes to
learn an instrument, should make himself
known to the Professor, when in the park
on Saturday, where he can talk to you per-
sonally.

Where It Was Done.

Joe Bing, he cut ten cord O. wood
From rise to set O. sun;
He cut it an piled it, too.
Yes sir, that W at he done.
To cut ten cord o wood, VOW,
Is one tremenjus chore-
Joe Bing cut his behind the stove
In Luscomb's grocery store.
Joe Bing, he cut eight loads O hay,
l swan, and raked it too,
An, in twelve hours by the clock
He was entirely through.
He could, | guess, before he slept
Cut jes' as many more
He cut that where he did the wood,
In Luscomb's grocery store.
Joe Bing, he plowed four acres onct
He plowed it good and neat
An fore the sun had near gone down
The job was all complete.
The HOSES never turned hair,
Warn't tired, ner leas' bit sore,
He plowed it all in one short day
In Luscomb's grocery store.
Joe Bing, he made five dollers onct
By simply picking hops:
He done it all in jes' day
With time for several stops.
He could as we'll a-kept it up
A dozen days or more.
Where was it done? The same Oh pla,
In Luscomb's grocery store.

Here and Now

Here in heart of this world,
Here in the noise and the din
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin.
This is the place and the spot,
For knowledge OF infinite things;
This is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer the proves of kings.
Wait for no heavenly life,
Seek for DO temple alone;
Here in the midst of the strife
Know what the sages have known.
See what the Perfect One saw,
God in the depths of each soul:
God as the Light and the Law,
God as the beginning and goal.
Earth is one chamber of heaven,
Death is no grander than birth.
Joy in the life that if given,
Strive for perfection on earth
Here in turmoil and roar,
Show what it is to be calm;
Show how the spirit can soar.
And bring back its healing and balm.
Stand not aloof or apart,
Plunge in the thick of the fight;
There in the street and the mart,
There is the place to do right,
Not in some oloister or cave,
Not in some kingdom above;
Here on this side of the grave,
Here should we labor and love.

Fire, the arch enemy of the forest, is the
very life of the lodgepole pine, for cessation
| of fires would in time practically eliminate
the species from the forest. Following a
sweeping fire it is found that the lodgepoIe
| pine, is the first tree at work to make good its
loss. On the blackened limbs of the Are
killed tree are scores of cones stuck closely
to the branches. Within these cones lie
fertile seeds waiting for nature to set them
free. The fiery whirlwind sweeps by, and
in few hours the brown bits of tissue-lke
seeds silently climb out of their sheltering
homes and make flight to the earth. Being
exceedingly light, thousands are sometimes
blown for miles. An earth cleaned for their
reception is found by the germs of new
| woods life.-Ex.

WE HEAR
That you should be careful when it comes

That ambition seldom gets beyond the

Those who can't conceive for themselves

He who would uplift the world will find

If you are acquainted with happiness, in

Be determined to do your best; and when
you find that you have made mistake, be
more determined than ever to do better.
Your mistakes will be few, and when they
do come, they will be corrected before there
is time to produce detrimental results. We
always eliminate what is not wanted when
we press on, with the whole of life, towards
that which is wanted.
There is but one way know of convers.

system of roads being built by West
Virginia, said road to lead out of Oak
land on the west and to connect at the
State line near Hutton, was introduced
on Friday and referred to the Finance
Committee of the Senate.
Tuesday was Garrett county day in
the Senate. 1t was field day for Sena-
tor Speicher. He succeeded in putting
through the Senate five Garrett county
House bills and advanced Senate bill
to the third reading.
The bills passed will go to the Cover
nor for his approval and of his approval
there is no doubt. The bills passed
were: l. Prohibiting the killing of
deer until 1922; q Amending the game
law, providing for bounty of one dol
lar for fox scalps; 3. Making it unlaw-
full to manufacture liquor in Garrett
county after June, 1917. There is some
question about the constitutionality of
this bill. Senator Speicher made rec
ord on this bill in securing its passage
in such short time. The bill went to
the Senate from the House on Febru-
airy 10th and reached its final passage
on the 22d of February, just five days
after its appearance in the Senate. 1t
was very appropriate that this bill
should pass on the birthday of George
Washington; A. Releasing the farm
of Fred Gortner from the boundaries of
Loeb Lynn Heights; 5. Making the
term of service of the clerk of the
County Commissioners, after 1917, four
years.
The Senator had passed to the third
reading his bill sanctioning the sale of
ground in Deer Park to the Mayor and
Council.

WILL YOU HELP?
Question PropOunded b
The Public Library Secretary.

Do you remember when you finished
reading the "best book that was ever
written?" What deep sense of real
: enjoyment filled your soul! Perhaps it
was when you were a child and some OF
the words in the story were new to you,
but you caught their meaning and read
on, page after page, with growing Won
der and delight! New worlds of beattY
and adventure were opened to you. Y GU
held the KEY to wonderful garden
where you were free to enter and gath
er the choicest fruits and the mot fra
grant blossoms.
Good books have come into the world
to stay and they have PROVED real
friends to all of US.
Our lives are maFo richer in proper
ton to ouEcquaintance Whit good lit
eraturT Our knowledge is Increased,
characterization quickened, ur ideals
made higher.
MAKE TT -SliIiC ACA N'~AJ W La =
Me OPPORTUNITY to read he kind of
hooks that will delight the heart? On
the -aalves Of the Free p blic Library
of Csklund are many gofd books but
the is sill room for MORE. Why not
sba. those books you rel I'D last month
or last year aiah others who haye not
had the privilege of jreading them?
Where are those books you read when
,.s.era child? Won't you give them
or LEM them to the Library to be en-
loved by the scores Of boys and girls
who are, hungry for something to read?
The books do not stay on the shelves
long, especially boys books and the late
books of fiction. You are doing an i'm
measurable good for the public when
YOU bring your books and magazines to
the library.
Something else is needed besides
books. The expenses of the rooms and
of the librarians salary must be met
with money. In order that the work
may be built upon a permanent basis
the Library Board desires that every in
dlvidual in the community as we'll as
every lodge and social organization will
make generous annual pledge.
