ment that he will go to Camp Sewer

January to enter the training school
Judge Barco will go in the Bingham
Military Academy's quota of FIVE men
having received the first appointment
from its commandant.
Ever since the declaration of war
was made by the United States, Judge
Barco has wanted to enlist, but has
been held back by his feeling of obi

call and will go into service with the
consciousness of having done his full
duty as an American citizen and with
the honor and love of all who know
him.

Social Service Program at the Won

The program at the Woman's CLUB
Saturday was in charge of the social
service committee of the club, OF
which Mrs E. A. Osborne is the chair
man. 1t was expected that Mr. Mar
Gus Fagg would be present on this oc-

father few days ago he was unable
to be present and to make the address
on social service as he had anticipat-
ed.
Instead of Mr.. Fagg, Rev. j. r.
Herndon of the Presbyterian church,
and Rev Bunyan Stephens of the
Baptist church, made very beautiful
talks on the subject of social service.
Mr.. Herndon was the first speaker
and he began his remarks by saying
that "any sort of service that makes
society better is what we mean by So
cial service" and for fifteen minutes
Mr.. Herndon spoke on the various
phases of social service as relating to
the home, to the church, to the clubs

THE HABIT OF WORRY.
The American is Certainly !Iabi
tual WOrrier.

The United States Healtl. Bureau
has issued a bulletin in which it
emphasizes the bad physical results
of mental worry. 1t says that the
birds never try to build more nests
than their neighbors, and the foxes
never fret because they have only
one hole apiece in which to hide. So
why should the American people
worry themselves over the struggle
for money, thereby producing pre-.
mature decay and death?
All this is great deal too true,
but it is one thing to advise people
to quit worrying and another thing
to quit yourself Also there are a
lot Of easy going persons who ought
to worry lot more than they do.
They allow their creditors and the
public to do their worrying. Per
haps even some of the employees at
Washington, whose offices issue
these wise bulletins, might for the
good of the tax payers do a little
more worrying themselves about
government efficiency.
The American is certainly habi-
tual worrier. The majority of the
men you meet on the street show it.
There are lines Of care and no large
proportions of the faces are those
jolly and rotund countenances that
evidently take things lightly.
1t is part of our ambitious tenn
permanent. We love to play the
game too we'll. 1t is not so much
that we fear poverty, as that we
have set our hearts on certain re-
suits that seem within our powers,
and anything short of those results
seems failure. 1t is a strong
achieving race, and it is not satisfied
with half way results. Could we
wish it to be any different?
Some people can control their
minds by positive effort. 1t is a
great gift and one to be cherished
and developed. With others, the
more they resolve not to worry, the
more their minds revert to their ia
tai fears and ambitions. The best
results in mental self control are
reached in other ways
People do well to be satisfied with
simple ends and ways of living. The
higher their standards, the har Ter
the struggle. 1t isn't worth it.
