It's doing your job the best you can
And being Just to your fellowman.
It's making money. but holding
friends,
And staying true to your aims and
ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking
high.
And dreaming little and doing
much;
1T keeping always in closest touch
With what is finest in word and
deed;
It's being thorO. yet making speed;
It's daring blithely the field of
chance
While making labor brave ro-
nance;
It's going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keep
ing sweet
It's being clean and it's playing
fair;
It's laughing lightly at Dame De
SPAR:
It's looking up at the stars above,
And drinking deeply of life and
love;
Its struggling on with the will to
win,
But taking loss with cheerful
grin;
It's sharing sorrow, and work. and
mirth,
And making better this good old
earth;
It's serving. striving thru strain and
stress,
It's doing your noblest-that is

New Legislation to Be Sought.
Now that milk is selling at a lower
price and unlicensed shipments
practically have ceased. the health
department will give attention to the
need of new legislation designed to
put the local milk indusary on a
stable basis for the future.
Commissioner Brownlow said the
milk situation will be taken up with
Congress soon after it convenes.
Draft of a law to supersede the ex-
isting statute already has been
drawn and is in the hands of the
Commissioners. One of its provisions
is that the health department may
confiscate all milk shipped into the
District from unlicensed sources.

"There are, however, many

peace.
Magnificent floral offerings graced
the occasion and the friends who
were nearest and dearest gathered

FINE RECORD FOR
OLDSMOBILE TRUCK
In A SO Hour Nonstop Grind
Machine Covers Near
1000 Miles

A wonderful record has just been
made In this section by an Oldsmo-
bile Economy Truck that it is ex-
tremely doubtful could be eQualed
by any truck covering the same
mileage over the kind Of roads that
were trayersed by this oldsmobile
Truck in 5O-hour nonstop test
overloaded to one-third beyond its
registered carrying capacity.
Mr.. J. S. Penn, manager Of the
Heidelberg Auto Company, is justly
very proud of the record made by
the machine he is agent for and sell
ing In this territory.
Brookhaven was included in the
itinerary with many other towns
passed in the fifty hour run, the
truck coming through here last Sat
urday When the machine left here
on the last lap of its fifty hour test
Iit was chugging away with the pep
that one would imagine would easily
carry 1t on indefinitely and when it
reached jackson that afternoon and
the record taken it was in excellent
good shape. The machine had COW
cred nearly one thousand miles in
nfty hours or an average speed of
twenty miles an hour.
This was remarkable in view of
the fact that no deductions have
been made for stops for oil and gas,
periods when observers and drivers
were getting certificates of arrival,
snafching hasty lunches. etc. While
the engine was kept running dur
ing these stops, no mileage was re-
corded.
The official report also showed
a gasoline consumption of between
12 and 1S miles per gallon, which is
exceedingly low for truck Of this
class.
The record will undoubtedly rush
sales in this as well as other sections
OF the country as it was made under
official observation with accompany
ing machines. In this locality Mr..
Penn will be glad to demonstrate its
advantages to any and all who are
Interested.

WOULD LET IN BE-
LATED CANDIDATES.
Door Wide Open For Soldiers
To Participate in The
Primaries.

i The State Democratic Executive
Committee met at jackson Monday
land decided that all white soldiers
sailors and marines may vote re-
gardless of whether they have reg
istered or paid poll taxes, and wheth-
Ter in the state or serving with over
seSs forces.
The soldier abroad may send his
vote by mail, the only restriction be-
ling that they must be bona fide res
ljdents Of the election precincts in
which they offer to vote.
The refusal of the Democratic
state executive committee to put up
the ban against candidates who fall
ed to announce prior to the first
Monday in May was not unexpected.
The committee, by a vote of IL to3,
held that candidates to announce
within two weeks of the first pri-
mary has never been repealed, and
is still in full force and effect, the
opinion of Attorney General Collins
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Some Of the members felt that there
was grave doubt as to whether the
statute is valid, but they decided to
resolve this doubt in favor Of any
candidates who might desire to en-
ter at the eleventh hour.
1t is Of course optional with coun-
ty executive committees whether or
not they adopt the same interpreta-
tion OF the law as that of the state
executive committee, but it is gener-
ally believed that a majority OF
them will take the same view of the
question.
In adopting the view that code
section 3715 is still IN force and eff
feet the members of the state COM
mittee frankly stated that they did
not desire it interpreted as refiec-
tion ON Attorney General Collins,
and that the action should not be
construed as such. They simply diff
fered with him in interpreting the
law. In fact, when the Attorney
General issued his opinion he admit
ted that 1t was a doubtful question.

WILSON WARNED OF
LEAGUES DEFEAT.
Pennsylvania Is Willing to
Pledge Americas Support
To a World Peace
Covenant.

Washington, June 10.-The
Senate fight over the League OF
Nations was brought to a more
direct issue today with the in
PRODUCTION of resolution by
Senator Knox, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, proposing that
the Senate give formal notice to
the peace conference of opposit-
ion to- be expected should the
peace treaty be submitted for
ratification in its present form.
Senator Knox, a member OF
the foreign relations committee
and a former secretary of state,
drafted the resolution after con-
ferences with other league oppo-
|nents and presented it with the
apparent support Of those who
have led in criticism Of the
League covenant. He expected
to crystalize opposition senti-
|ment as did Senator Lodge,
chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, with the irreg-
ulation of the round robin IN
the closing hours Of the last
Senate.
While declaring for an imn1e-
diate conclusion of a treaty deal
ing with direct issues of the war
only, the resolution contains a
|far-reaching proposal which
would lay it down as a policy Of
the American government that
whenever the freedom and
peace of Europe is threatened
the United States viii consider
|it obligatory to cooperate in
the removal Of the menace.
