Happiness is always q by-product.
1t never comes to those who concen-
trate on securing it. The unhappiest
person in the world Is the one who
constantly pursues happiness. Not
more elusive was the nymph that fed
Apollo than is happiness to those who
pursue it as an end and aim. It al
ways comes as result of something
else. The pursuit of noble things, the
things essentially worth while, brings
happiness. AS brave heart, doing

The pastor of a country church
writes to us that 1.-The great obstacle"
to the success of his work lies in the
fact that SO many people are "indiffer-
ent to church activities" The broth
er has put sure finger on a very COM
mon human falling, says Farm Life.
Indifference has always been the great
obstacle to progress in every line of
life. The enthusiasts are the salt Of
life, the leaven that keeps the world
from growing stale. The Indifferent
man Is not only a poor churchman; he
Is poor merchant. a poor student, 4
poor farmer. poor citizen, a poor
lover. We might all pray to the Lord
to deliver us from the evil of indiffer-
ence. We might well do our part by
cultivating our enthusiasm and giving
1t practical turn. Fortunately
for ourselves and for the world, we
all have matters in which we take a
natural interest. approaching the point
Of enthusiasm. These are the mat
ters we should cultivate. They offer
us success along the line Of least re-
sistance. --

our skates are hanging from nail;
the bellybuster merry laughter has
turned into dismal wall No more we

And other things we'v said goodbye
to, like pills and powders for the grip
things you can hate and not half try to,
when it ain It safe to let Ter rip. Now
we can grin to think about the times
that We danced the Highland fling on
icy walks and quit without the pleasure
of busting up the thing.
Now we can rest in peaceful slumber,
not getting up to dope the kids on
strong concoctions without number
whenever wakeful mamma bids. Win

a1ENwooD sw1rEs oARBoNDA1E

Last Saturday evening basketball
team made up from the young men from
Carbondale drove down to show our
boys what they knew about the game,
Glenwood went into the game with
the second team from the high school,
consisting of Harry Malaby and John
Rigney as forwards, Raymond Hopkins
and Paul Oldenburg as guards and
Brady Loser as center.
The boys of this team are lively
bunch, but they were not quite equal
to the spud pickers and at the end of
the first half the score stood II to Is
in favor of Carbondale. At the, middle
of the second half the score was 10 to
81 in Carbondale's s favor.
Then the second team was taken off
the floor and Glenwood's champs en-
tered the arena and you may be sure
there was something doing from that
time on, the Carbondale fellows scor-
ing but two points in the last quarter
of the game while Glenwood made rs
points, the score at the close of the
game being Al to 80 in Glenwood' :
favor.
Ian Bell refereed the first half OF
the game and Carbondale furnished d
referee for the last half. The attend
ance was not as good as might be de
sired, but all were interested in tht
splendid manner in which the youns
team went into the work and the splen.
did work Of the regular team.

PEOPLE PLEASED WITH

Not for a long time have the Glen

such splendid entertainment as the
concert given last Friday night by the

encore From the first to the last it
was just feast Of good things and all

The ladies of Mariposa circle have
been busy practicing for the Piccaniny
social this week. They have good
program and should be supported by d
full house. The orchestra has been en-
gagged for this occasion. The price of
admission is 35 cents for adults. This
will be strictly black face perform
ance and will be followed by dance.
The band has started practice tor
the summer season and if the interest
thus far displayed continues Rifle will
certainly have the best band in it's his
tory this year. Glen Helm was present
at the Monday evening meeting to get
some ideas from the members regarding
the future welfare of the band as an
organization.
We believe Mr.. Helm is the right
man in the right place. He will wait
on our business men during the coming
week. 1t is now the general opinion
that the band will be made permanent
organization, and Mr.. Helm will en-
deavor to get support in financial
way for the band this year that has
heretofore been overlooked. This will
be banner year for the band.
We have not heard much election
talk as yet, although the time for the
election of city officials is not far dis
tant. The work of the present mayor
and council is to be highly commended.
They are all property holders and have
the welfare of the town at heart. We
don It know of any issues to be brought
before the voters at the coming town
election.
Mrs. W. H. Applegate has been ill
during the past week and had to give
up her position as chorus director for
the entertainment to be given by the
Women of Woodcraft. It is hoped she
may soon be restored to health Mrs.
Applegate is musician and instructor
of rare ability such as'this community
has long needed, and her services will
be greatly missed by the Mariposa la,
dies at the Friday night concert.

The Union Revival

: An unusual amount of interest is be-
ing manifested at the joint revival
services being conducted by Reverends
Hutchins and Bennett. Last Sunday
morning at the Christian church the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
ladies' auxiliary, or Daughters of the
Revolution, were the invited guest and
the sermon delivered by Rev. Hutchins
on this occasion was a fitting tribute
to the old comrades and their ladies.
The preacher spoke of the hardships
saying it was necessary for soldier to
train the muscle and mind before he
could enter the ranks, and likewise to
be a soldier of God we must also train.
He said now during the revival meet
ings was the time to start the training.
