This Day is Ours

This day is ours; the yesterdays
Are gone with all their good and ill;
No need their failures or delays
Should handicap or vex us still,
No need or use to brood or fret
Or in repining waste our powers,
Life still has duties to be met;
Press on. press on, this day is ours.
This day is ours; its message plain;
The thing we do to-day endures;
This day alone holds loss or gain;
Tomorrow is not mine or yours.
Not ouIs to choose the tasks that pay,
Not ours to bask in summer bowers,
Ours to be armored for the fray;
To win or lose, this day is ours.
When Opportunity appears
With Aeeting step and beckoning hand,
Who grasps the trophies of the years
Must see and know and understand.
She tarries not for those who wait;
Who grasp and hold secure her dowers;
Those who delay may be too late;
On to the fray; this day is ours.
This day is ours for noble deeds,
For strenuous toll, for conQuests won,
For larger love and broader creeds
And stronger hearts at set of sum-.
The time and place is now and here,
Unscaled the height above us towers;
And be our goal so far or near,
Press on, press on; this day is ours.

Our baseball boys played fine game
last Saturday and got plenty of hits, but
there was not enough steam behind them to
bring in the necessary runs, but, neverthe-
less, it was good game.
Christian Science services were held in

The sermon preached to us last Sunday

a good one. The subject 'Joy'' was de.

attention was paid by everyone.

The number of outside fans present at
the baseball game last Saturday was the
largest ever seen here. They not only saw
a fine game of ball, but also enjoyed some
lively music rendered by the band after the
game.
"A good many of the inmates seem to

"Optimo" rises to remark that North
Dakota must be an ideal winter resort. This
conclusion is based upon last week motion
picture representation of the climate.
A farmer was represented as having driven
several miles into town to purchase an auto,
the temperature being 40 deg. below zero.
And, atho we have from early childhood
believed that water would CONCEAL at tenn
perature of 81 deg. above zero, in this pic
ture, with the temperature u deg. below
what we had heretofore believed to be the
freezing point, the water was standing in
pools and there was not enough frost in the
air to CONCEAL the breath of either the men
or beasts shown.
We pause to ask: ''Is there different
system of defining temperature in North
Dakota than elsewhere?'' Or, "Was the
