He has two plans, in fact, one for
Barton Heights, Ginter Park and

There will be lengthy discussion
tonight at a meeting of the Highland
Park Citizens Association, with ref
erenee to the esta Adjustment of a bury
ing ground in the southeast section OF

Another matter which will come
before the Highland Park citizens is
the gas situation. They will discuss
the subject OF reducing the cost of

1t is sometimes harder to appear

There is a lot of sympathy, but very

The trouble is, when a man gets

And it was also most convenient for
the makers of collars for men that
they found it necessary to raise the
prices of their wares during the period
of the year when the weather is hard

is reminiscent of the well-esta blished
custom among the sugar makers of

REAL MERIT.

REAL MERIT.
'Tis not the goal that makes you. great,
IT'S not the medal you may win,
'Tis not the cup or silver plate,
To tell the struggles you've been In,
That shall account your real worth,
For cheats, sometimes, the prizes claim
The proof of merit on this earth
Is in the way you play the game.
Superior skill is not enough.
For many brilliant mind is weak,
And, when the fight grows hard and rough,
For victory will play the sneak.
And it is better far to quit
An honest loser in the fight,
Than as the victor come from it
( By lowering your sense of right
No matter what the game or prize.
How rich may seem the victors share,
No happiness in conquest lies
Unless your battle has been fair.
Be brave, but guard your honor WE'LL
Think less of medals you may claim
Than that your record fair may tell
That you have nobly played the game.
