our every day life the different caste

never mingle with those whose moral

ing,-"Birds of feather will flock TO-

when they are encouraged in early
life to do those things 30 1t will grow

GOING OVER THE TOP

Atlanta, Ga, May 4.-According to
serve banks of the nation on the first
reports from the twelve federal re-
morning Of the Third Liberty Loan
campaign, more communities reported
ever the top from the Atlanta district
right on the jump than from any
ether.
This information has just been re-
Iceived by W. c. Wardlaw, chairman
Iof the Liberty Loan Executive COM
'mittee for the Sixth district In a tele-
gram from the Treasury Department,
and has caused much satisfaction
among those who have been directing
the campaign.
There have been several reasons
for the majority of the Atlanta dis
Itrict subscriptions being reported on
the final week Of the campaign, thus
keeping the district at the bottom OF
the list during the greater part of the
drive. Those in close touch with the
situation have felt that this should be
no reflection on the district.
That the people of the territory are
quite as patriotic as their fellow citl-
7ens in other parts Of the country Is
proved both by the present totals and
by the added fact, just announced,
that at the very beginning, before the
campaign got we'll under way, more
communities in the six states Of the
Sixth district went over than in any
other district.

To the honored trustees Of the
Lakeland public schools; to our hon
|ored superintendent who has been SO
patient and painstaking with US, to
the faculty, who have labored so
faithfully with us and for us; to our
|schoolmates, to whom we hope our
example will have proved helpful; to
our parents and relatives, of whose
/ guidance and helpfulness no encon-
ium would be an adequate expression;
to all Of you, our friends, the class of
1918 extends greeting. We offer you
the heartiest welcome that is possible
from twenty-five intensely loyal
hearts-a fulsome welcome to these
exercises in which we bid formal
farewell to public school, And, If we
shall succeed in affording a slight
measure Of enjoyment, If the memory
OF what takes place here tonight shall
remain with you for even short
period, we shall accept your apprecia-
oon as ample reward for much of the
labor we have done in order to attain

the result Of the school day life, our
associates at this time should be as
carefully chosen as the food that
gives US subsistence. To enjoy the
best things that exist, our minds
must be cleared of the potential evil
that continually turks there. This
evil is made the potent factor that
control sthe destiny of the person
who lives merely to satisfy his or
her physical desires.
Someone has said that our lives are
bundle of habits. We should on.
deavor to form habits or the right
kind. A bad habit is the easier of
the two to form, but in forming good
habits we are unknowingly also
moulding the character that will de-
eide our future. The person who can
stand up for his convictions, even
though 1t Is not the popular course,
will always have friends, but that
person who is afraid to make an en-
emy, just as surely will be friendIess.
There can be no middle ground. The
day of the hyphenate is passed. We
will sooner or later have to degne our
position on some question and IL you
have the moral stamina to take the
right side, the stamina that is here
required is the thing that you are
building up when you are true to the
right ideals In early life. Popularity
is appreciated when it is the reward
Of merit, but where 1t is attained on
ly by duplicity or causing the ruin of
your fellow man, it Is thing to be
Stunned as more deadly than the
most venomous snake.
A rational being that shows no dis
cretion in choosing leader, or that
will absorb the poison given of by
evil companions, will never be quail
fled to take the place in life that God
intended for him to have. When the
will is so weak that it will change az
easily as the direction of the wind,
that person is indeed IN a most de-
praved condition.

material and can be reconstructed.
