EBERT BEDE SAYS

Charity may cover a multitude of
sins but It doesn't obscure them from
the public gaze.
We suspicion some folks say times
and hard and business dull just to
keep you from thinking that they are
making money.
When a woman talks to you at the
top of hes voice there is little need to
worry. She never asks you for money
except in low voice
1t is quite trick to raise and sup
port half dozen boys, but not nearly
as much of trick as it is to raise them
SO they will support you.
The prettier a woman is the harder
it is for her to keep from feeling jea-
lous when some other woman's good
looks are commented upon.
When man begins telling that he is
offering as sacrifice to the people, it
is pretty safe guess that he considers
himself more than a majority
A Berkeley student is able to hold his
breath for ten minutes. The chances
are that he may never marry and his
accomplishment will be valueness.
Woman insists in putting man into
position where to be polite he must
say she doesn't look her age-and then
tells around that he is a natural born
liar.
An exchange warns us to "beware
of the woman who agrees with you"
What's the use of wasting time in
warning us against something that will
never happen.
When man marries leading chorus
girl, who has had her undressed-up
picture in the paper, everybody knows
ss much about what he is getting as he
does himself.
If the socialist propaganda will do
half what its advocates claim it will, it
will fulfill about ten times as many of
the promises made for it as any other
It's easy to sit around the sawdust
box in country store and solve great
problems of state because those who
solve problems there are never called
to account for their mistakes.

FEDERAL SERVICE
IS NO S|NECURE
eovERNM'T WORKERS AT WASH.

TIsTIcIAN TO QUIET ENVY.
THE SALARY AVERAGE IS LOW
More Women are Employed In Dis

Rest of Country.

Washington-In the United States
are multitudes who imagine that the
greatest sinecure one can enjoy in
this life is to be an employe in the ex-
ecutive civil service of the United
States government in Washington.
But 25,351 persons have learned from
personal experience that such is not
the case.
When these individuals who are not
in the service contemplate the govern
ment clerk being granted 80 days an
nual leave, and that IL the clerk is
sick he is allowed, by merciful pow
er, 80 days more in which to recuper-
ate; when these facts possess them
they grow envious and wonder why
the fates have not dropped them into
one of these many easy berths.
And when these dissatisfied ones
mediate upon the hours the govern
ment employe is supposed to work
from o'clock to 4:30 o'clock with
one-half hour for lunch-it Is too
much for them. and they determine
that come what may they will take
the civil service examination for a
position at Washington. They also
think of the government employe. at
Washington who Is supposed to stop
his work at / o'clock on Saturdays
during July, August and September.
When these position-seekers at
Washington pass the examination
and finally secure the coveted appoint
ment they soon discover a number
of pertinent facts. They find that of
the men in the District Of Columbia
employed by the government, 44.2 per
cent are paid at a rate of less than
$1,000 a year. In the case of women
the percentage of those paid at rate
less than $1,000 year is 73.1 per cent.
The newly appointed employe sees
that 48.6 per cent of the women, as
contrasted with 1873 per cent Of the
men, are in the class paid at rate of
less than $720 year. In the District
of Columbia the lowest average rate
is $500, paid to employees under 20
years Of age.

Boyne High
Win By Small
Margin Friday
Girls Win By Two Points And
Boys By One. Game
Intensely Interesting
From The Boyne Citizen)

The basket ball season was formally
opened Friday night at the gym when
Boyne High boys and girls met and de-
feated the East Jordan High boys and
girls. II was by no means an easy
task for either team and considerable
luck assisted the girls in anneXing the
first victory. The boys game was in
tensely interesting, although far from
season.
The girls took the floor first and for
several minutes played slow game.
After the first few scores were made
however interest became enlivened.
East Jordan lead by safe margin the
majority OF the game. AT the close the
score board showed them leading by
one point, 8 to 10. After several min
utes however, the scorers decided the
visitors had been accredited with one
point too many, and the score was a
tie. It was then agreed to return and
play until the first basket, orpoint was
made. Within two minutes Boyne had
field basket and the game ended. AL
though the result favored the locals
candor demands it to be said that Boyne
will have to play better ball if they re-
peat on East Jordan when they meet
again.
The real battle opened when Coach
Talcott blew the whistle for the begin
ming of the boys game. East Jordan
has been preparing for sometime and
their work shows the results. Two
minutes was time enough to inform the
spectators that the locals had no easy
win. In fact odds would have been
placed on East Jordan the first quarter
which ended with the visitors leading
13 to Z. The next quarter saw the best
work of the locals. More team work
was evidenced and the close of the half
showed Boyne leading Is to H.
The second half was heart breaker.
The score first favored one then the
other. The third quarter closed with
Boyne leading q to 10. The last lap
stimulated East Jordan and they rolled
up three field baskets aud one free
throw, netting them z points, while
Boyne counted 6. AT no instant could
the end be foretold and as the whistle
blew the locals congratulated them
selves on having the one count rather
than being one to the bad-27 to %.
The East JordapIcenter easily stole
all glory of the game. Had he opposed
any center other than Fleming the re-
suit would have been sad for Boyne.
East Jordans' team work was develop
ed to a point above that of the locals
and from the side lines they appeared
the stronger team with the exception
of the center
