A devout man does his duty better
than another, because he sees his
position more completely: gazes over
the wide field of his relations visible
and invisible; eXaggerates nothing
from its proximity, and overlooks
nothing from its distance; but. with
the clear sense of moral proportion,
receives from all the true impression.

does not render his mental view false
by ignoring the whole region that lies
beyond experience, and treating it as

Never in the history of the high
school has the whole student body
been as interested in basketball as it
is now. One hundred and fifty to
200 students, boys and girls alike,
are longing to see that game in

these 800 visiting boys, but the citi-

feed them. 1t is necessary that they
receive the same treatment as the
soldiers did, which made Olympia SO
famous. We are very anxious that
they do not return to their respective

before was there such need for con-

forces. Let everyone consider for
himself if the moral and spiritual
values presented through the church

It elect ed five women to the legislature, run ming ahead of it's nearest rivals, Cal ifornia and Kansas, where women have had the vote for several years.
 Among the states electing women were Kansas, with four; California, three: Utah, three; New Hampshire, New Jersey and Oklahoma, two each. There will be only one woman mem- Der in New York In all 29 women were elected in 15 states.

The Peoples Light & Power Com pany of Danielson has increased the rate for gas in the borough. The req son for the advance is given as the in- creased cost of coal and oil. A Dan ielson correspondent to Norwich pa per says:
 "The price decided upon by the oil cials of the local company is $2.60 per thousand feet less 10 cents for prompt payment. This corresponds with the price charged by Putnam which amounts to $40 for the first thou sand feet of gas, and the price charg' ed by the city of Norwich, which Is municipal plant, which amounts te s2.70 for the first thousand feet.
 "The Putnam plant has demand and manufactures practically three times what our local plant does, and the Norwich plant furnishes from ten Ito fifteen times the amount of gas as manufactured by our local plant.
 At the present time the rate foI gas here is Sl.s5. less 10 per cent per thousand feet"
