A Timely Thought

Through all the ages Of man, there
has never been time when people
demanded so much thoughtful de-
cision as in the present day. New
channels are being opened. The
turning point in the long road Of
sorrow and suffering has been
reached, and new and brighter era
awaits us. Our tendency hereto
fore has been, oftentimes, 10 rush
into things with no thought or con-
sideration Of what the outcome may
be, and the result very often proves
disastrous. not only for ourselves,
but for others. This tendency is due
perhaps TO a desire TO become great
when perhaps the greatest thing is
to remain faithful TO the duties
assigned to us, even though IL might
be monotonous details. Since every
impression is enduring, every act
leaves some mark on the life itself
as we'll as on others. We should
stop and think twice before any
decisive action is taken, and thus
avoid losing our places in the affairs
OF today. We are a more serious
minded people since this great world
war. We have become less frivo-
lcus and thoughtless, and have come
to realize that real life is OF love,
sacrifice, and the desire to make the
whole world better than ever before.
SO we as students should take life
more seriously and put forth our
best efforts while we have the op-
portunity-Anon.

UTILE DULCE OPEN MEETING

"A Full Hearted Meeting" was the
characterization that was given Ia
the Utile Dulce open meeting by
those who had the honor of attend
ing it.
Many a heart was cut out to deco
rate the East Parlor for the occa-

representing the society colors.
The Program was very tasteful
and refined with echoes from St.

old south music and wit. There
was also selection by Mr.. Victrola
who took stage fright and had to
sit down.
The visitors went away with hap

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

In the Vocational Summary for
January, 1919, Ia bulletin which is
published monthly by the Federal
Board for Vocational Education al
Washington, ID. c. it is stated that
already more than twelve thousand
disabled men have registered as
prospective candidates for vocation
al training and placement.
A classified list Of the first i57
cases approved for training by the
Federal Board shows 63 distinct
courses Of training; moreover, the
i57 individuals involved have been
distributed for training among "a
widely scattered educational insti-
tutiOns.
Evidently the departmental ad-
ministrative work incident TO the
supervision Of this important un-
dertaking will be very considerable
even if the number Of registrations
is not greatly increased; and, since
the activities OF this new Govern
ment bureau will doubtless continue
for several years at least. and cover
a new and important field OF welfare
work, il is TO be hoped that they
may form at least the nucleus for
permanent institution for voca-
tional guidance and training which
will be available for the public gen.
orally.

WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT N|OBE STILL

AS has been his habit in the past
Brother Gee Of the Powers Lake
Echo wants the general public to
believe that he is a man of mystery
by doing lot of limiting and by
asking some questions. To read his
article last week in regard to The
Tribune one would wonder what
the deuce he was driving at. He
makes hints and asks questions
about things we know absolutely
nothing about in an endeavor TO
make the public believe that he
knows something that no one else
does. About all we have to say in
answer to his article of last week
is that if he has any real dope on
either The Tribune, ourselves per-
sonally or the farmers Of Burke
county, we would suggest that he
COME right out and give the facts
for.the benefit of the public, and not
hint: as though he had some facts
which he could give if he wanted
.tu. We eswould dislike to believe
that the success that the farmers Or
ganization has made has caused him.
to worry to such an extent as to eff
feet his mind, but reading the ar
ticle in the last issue of his paper
would suggest that this is the case.
In his list of questions Brother
Gee wants to know if some certain
affidavits made by ourselves in re-
gard to the ownership Of The Trib-
une plant were true, and all we
have got to say is that If the affida-
Wits he mentions were made by us
they were true, all Of them. They
were made several months apart,
and The Tribune plant could have
changed hands several times during
that time. He seems also to be
worrying lot about the value of
The Tribune plant, but as far as we
know he is the only one that is wor-
rying about this value. This plant
is not up for sale at the present
time, and no price is being put on
it either by ourselves or anyone else'
70 Gee wants to know what it is
worth he is perfectly welcome to
come here any time and take an in
voice of everything. Any pricc he
fixes will be satisfactory to us,
