HEIGHT THAT FEW ATTAIN
Not Many People Can Boast Their
Complete GuiitIessness Of the
"Seven Deadly Sins"

The "seven deadly sins" are pride.
envy, lust, avarice. anger, sloth and
gluttOny.
The fathers, the sages, the wise
men of the world, handing down from
one generation to another through the
centuries what they had observed and
learned, at last agreed that all our
spiritual and mental miseries, as well
as most Of our physical sufferings,
come from an indulgence in the
thoughts and actions included in the
aforementioned list of sins.
Old-fashioned people used to keep
this list constantly before them, and
their spiritual and physical health
progressed or declined In the measure
that they were able or unable to con-
troll their thoughts and appetites.
In these modern days we are still
surprised to learn that the list of
seven deadly sins was ever even made.
that il is a list which really scovers
the whole Eioral scheme of existence.
The man who can finally subdue
himself into q state in winch he does
not breal: any of the laws for which
the seven deadly sins stand as in
fringements, may well congratulate
himself. He is what we would call
pretty good man, and we would like
to have him as a neighbor. Not to be
proud, not to be envious, not to be
lustful, never to be avaricious or
angry; nor to be a lazy man nor a
glutton. means. that you need fear no
man or devil, and that you certainly
shall not be afflicted with gout.
'Be good and you will be happy"
There's many saying, but there Is
none better than that.

the Best Of His Relative In
the Country.

DR.. Samuel Schwab claims that the
Oldest good story is the one about the
boy who left the farm and got job
in the city. He wrote letter to his
brother who had elected to stick by
the farm telling OF the joys Of city
life, In which he said:
Thursday we auto'd out to the
country club and we golfed until dark.
Then we trolleyed back to town and
danced until dawn. Then we motored
to the beach and Fridayed there" The
brother on the farm wrote back:
Yesterday we buggied to town and
baseballed all afternoon. Then we
went to Ned's and pokered till morn
ing. Today we muled out to the corn
field and gee-hawed till sundown.
Then we suppered and then we piped
for awhile. After that we staircased
up to our room and bedsteaded until
the clock fived.

While veterans of the world war
patriotic societies and the board of
supervisors have been discusseing the
proper kind of a memorial for Mar
shall county soldiers whC gave their
lives in the struggle Superintendent
A. Palmer has taken steps, thru the
city school organization. to supply the
first permanent memorial to the SOL
diers. On Friday afternoon, April 20,
Arbor day, a tree will be planted in
each school ground in the city as
memorial to tie Marshall county SOL
diers OF the world war.
In order that the trees may become
q permanent memorial, each tree plant
ed is to be registered with the Am
erican Forestry Association at Wash

ton will be furnished the schools as
evidence of the purpose for which
each tree was set out.
Will Set Out Elms.
Because it is splendid native tree,
hardy, rapid of growth and of pleas =
ing habit, Superintendent Palmer has
picked American elms as the trees to
be planted. The principal of each
ward building will have charge OF the
exercises at the planting.
The planting of these trees in in har-
mony with the national movement to
perpetuate the memory of the soldiers
and sailors of the world war. The
suggestion has come from the secre-
tary of agriculture that, such an ODD
servation will secure widespread
planting Of trees dedicated to those
whose lives have been sacrificed in the
great struggle to preserve American
rights and the civilization of the
world"
After the trees are planted, a de-
scription Of each tree, and its loca-
ton will be fled at the headquarters
of the American Forestry Association
in Washington, and the certificate OF
registration that will be furnished the
schools will be the permanent record
of the planting and the purpose FOR
which the trees were set out.
