RIFLE CLUB FOR ELIZABETH.

Everything must develope in It's
some origin; some motive, some in
cident must bring forth an idea, in
order for all things to have beginn-
ing; thus, it is that we can say that
that few turkey shoots, that have
been given during the past several
weeks, may have brought forth the
idea of organizing a Rife Club for
Elizabeth. The idea was put in ac-
tion last Wednesday evening, when
a nulpber local citizens met, discus
sed the plans, and elected officers to
make proficient an organization, to
known as the Elizabeth Rifle Club.
The following men were elected
as officers:
C. H. Watts, President; L. A. Pa
renteau. Secretary Joe Carver Treas
urer;' Frank Wetmore, Range officer
The organization adopted the U.
S. Small Arms Manuel as their
rules of the piece.
Fifteen members signed their
names in willingness of the organic
alton, and to obtain a charter, which
is under the auspices of the Ma
tional Government.
I. l.. Hammond. of the Hammond
Stock Ranch, donated range to the
club at which place pits will be con-
structed and targets erected. 1t
is the plan of the members to get a
trap soon.

First Failures Not Fatal.

How often have we heard people
say that If they had their lives to live
over again they would do very differ
emily at certain points! And. though
we could see that they thought they
meant what they said, we understood
that they did not mean it very seri-
ously, and that second chance at life
would probably not yield much bet
ter result than the first one had. AS
q matter of fact not many of US have
made such fatal mistakes in life that
we have not had hundreds Of second
chances of overcoming very largely
the handicap and disadvantage that
they brought us. Indeed, the pathway
Of life for every man of us Is strewn
with second chances and new opportu-
mites of making good. There Is this
to be said, however: second chance
may be a little harder to realize on
than first one would have been. But
to say that a thing is hard is not to
say anything about its possibility. A
first mistake or a first failure may be
bad, but does not decide life unless
we let it.-Montreal Family Herald.

GREATEST OF ALL VIRTUES
Amount of Good Which Has Been
Bestowed by Others.

Gratitude means that memory has
come to the aid Of purpose. and that
praise is reinforcing prayer. Graft
tude links The PAST with The future. the
debt incurred with the duty to be per-
formed, the service received with the
service rendered. The question,
what ought we TO do for others p
cannot receive proper answer until
pains have been taken to weigh and
value all that others have already
done for us. Benevolence Is largely
an affair of memory and Of the graft
tude that memory inspires. The
benevolence that is most beneflcent
does not begin, as some moralists seem
to think, in desire to do good to
other people, but In adequate recogni-
ton of the enormous amount of good
which other people have done to our
selves. Nine-tenths Of what we have
to give is a gift bestowed upon us,
and only when this Is realized does
altruism rest upon its proper ground,
or feel the full force Of the motives
which impel the individual to the
service Of others. Divorced from
gratitude, all the social virtues would
shrivel.-L. p. Jacks.

SEVERITY IN THIS PENANCE
Hindu Pilgrims Make Long Journeys
With Most Extraordinary Method
of Locomotlon.

An extraordinary Indian peniten-
tial pilgrimage takes place every
year, invariably on Tuesday. usually
in the first half of May. The penance
consists In the Hindu penitents
measuring his length on the ground
from his home to the temple, often
distance of many miles.
The penitent throws himself on the
ground at full length. and with pots
herd or a stone, makes mark within
reach of his fingers. Upon getting up
he sets his feet on the mark, repeats
the process. continuing to do this, with
alternate rising and prostration, to the
end of his journey.
The dress worn during the pilgrim
age is exceedingly scanty, as the pill
grimage takes place during the hot
test season of the year. If the journey
is likely to take two or three days,
the penitent may halt at night for
food and rest, in which case he sets
up some mark to show where he left
the road, and resumes his journey
from that point on the morrow. Only
men are permitted to perform the
penance. but women and children are
allowed to accompany them on foot,
supplying them with food and tanning
them with punkahs made of palm
leaves.
Upon arriving at their goal the peni-
tents present their offerings in money
or kind to the attendant priests, who
utter few words of benedictiOn.
Every few years there are deaths from
exhaustion and exposure during the
pilgrimage, but the enthusiasts are
never deterred.-Detroit News.

NEW YoRK.s SNOW BILL

For not removing the snow from
the streets of New York last win
ter, its department of street clean
ing presents a bill for $500, 900.
ing the streets is made, says the
Wall Street Journal, but we all
know that the streets were clogged
with frozen snow for six weeks on
end, where even in the great storm
with it's 11-inch snowfall, the order
ly and expeditions methods of the
past, applied while the snow was
soft, would have really cleared the
streets at a tenth of the cost of
failure to doing anything of the
kind. We know how the surface
cars remained frozen to the tracks
for weeks with the tracks them
selves and every side street covered
with ice and frozen filth.
1t was severe winter but not
to any such extent as this incapacity
would show. During the Mitchell ad-
ministration, upon which the Hylan
regime was to be so great and eco
nomical an improvement, snow re-
moval in the winter of 1914-1915
cost $523.892. In the following
winter with a record snowfall of
more than double, the cost of re-
moval had advanced to $2,251, 299.
In the winter of 1916-1917, with
all the snow fall in the early months
of 1917, the cost was $725.734.
The winter of 1918-1919 was so
mild that there was, or at least
should have been, no snow removal.
There were, in fact, nothing but
flurries, which the unaided depart
ment of street cleaning could handle
along with the ashes and garbage.
Although the previous winter had
shown a record low thermometer, at
least since 1857, snow was not a
problem. The Hylan administration
went to pieces on the first real
test, after two exceptional winters
had given time for economy and
preparation to handle a problem
which was bound to come.
This waste and incompetence SIM
ultaneously in the administration of
the city, the state and the county
can hardly be a mere coincidence.
GUVeTnfneHC has DeSH given ONtT "
windy demagogues who fall down
upon every task which is set for
them, who learn so little from fail
ures that these are only made an
excuse for demanding an expansion
of powers the very nature of which
they have never even understood.
This is a lesson not merely for
New York but for the whole coun-
try. If the taxpayers and bodhold-
ers of New York City cannot draw
the correct influence they are i'm
deed hopeless. Labor was dear and
scarce in the past winter, but that
would have little had not brain been
utterly lacking. To say that bust
ness-like administration, municipal,
state and federal, is desirable at
any time is q truism. 1t is so des-
perately necessary now that it has
already the task of checking a move
ment of extragavance and utter in
competence which could, if con-
tinued, bankrupt the greatest city
in the world, the Empire state and
the federal government itself.

BRONWOOD MAN
And COX CHUMS
That is, Many Years Ago
AS Ohio Farmer
Boys

SAVANNAH, July 16.-An inter
esting bit of early history concern
ing the boyhood of Governor James
NJ. Cox, of Ohio, the Dem cratic
nominee for president, has been re
lated here by Conrad Winkler, a
former resident of Brentwood.
Mr.. Winkler who is a step-son of
Paul Holland, of Bronwood, and now
the proprietor of a meat market in
Savannah, was one of Governor Cox's
boyhood friends. The article in the
Savannah Press follows:
Reminiscing back to period some
ttirty-eight years ago, when ne liv.
ed in Hamilton, O., Mr.. Winkler said
that when he was sixteen years OF
age his mother married fo~ the sec
ond time and the family moved to
Jacksonburg, typical country vii
lage of that period, located at the
intersection of two crossroads
Young Winkler was "farmed out" by
his step-father to a farmer at Jack
sonburg, for the munifcient wage OF
Sc and board per month.
The Cox farm was located
Jacksonburg and, at the time young
