FIVE SUNDAYS

The world will experience a five
Sunday February this year for the
first time in 40 years, and for the last
time during the coming 2S years, un
less the calendar in vogue at the pre-
sent time should be modified. II
1900 had been leap year the five
Sunday February would have hap
pened in 1908, but the one day that
dropped out then put the five Sunday
February off for IL years. Since 1906
there was five Sunday February in
} S24, in 1852, in 1880, in 1920, and the
next one will be in 1913. In other
words, if the old world didn't slip a
cog three centesimal years out of
every four there would be five Sun
days in February every 2S years.

WOOD TO HAVE A BAND.

There has been more or less band
talk here ia Wood off and on ever
since we came bere, but heretofore it
has always ended in talk. This week
a number of Indian boys OF this local
ity decided that they would organize
band, and as a resul. sixteen o. them
have signed the membership roll and
they are now raising funds with which
to buy the necessary instruments.
These boys have all had more or less
band experience, most of them hay
ing at one time or another been mem
rs of Indian school bands, and
should with very little practice be
able to fill the air with music. The
following is the Instrumentation
. RAYMOND Shield, Cornet

Paul Roubideaux, Tenor
Ed Stranger Horse, Tenor

and make good they are deserving OF
the unstinted encouragement of the
entire community.

KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF
The World, as General Thing, Has
Little Use for the Man Ad-
dlcted to SeIf-Pity.

The trouble with the man In a little
trouble is that he is inclined to pity
himself and imagine that he Is the
only man who ever had trouble.
All he can see in the moment of his
Irritation In his own burden. 1t seems
not to occur to him that at the very
moment he is wrestling with his diff
Guilty thousands Of people nround him
are fighting against far greater odds
and in much greater danger.
Trouble, anyhow, is a part of the
game OF life. Nobody ever went any
where or did anything worth while
without meeting it in one form or an
other. Let others pity you If they
will, but don't waste any time pitying
yourself. The chances are that your
next door neighbor would be tickled
to death If such troubles as you have
were all he had to worry about.-Ex-

then, too, as one Of the officers of the
new fighter remarked, there is not
quite the same utility for punch bowls
and the like aboard ship that there
once was.
But the state was determined to
do something memorable for her pet
craft besides supplying a major part
of the crew. 1--WE did not care to

selected by our chaplain, Lieut.. G. A.
Neyman."
SO it was decided in conference with
the ships officers that the state should
raise an endowment fund OF about
$50 600, the annual interest from which
should be used to supply entertain
ment, relaxation and edificntion to Off
GERS and crew by giving them ndvan-
tages In addition to those provided by
the government.
Among other things, there is 70 he

used for taking photographs of the
Tennessee boys cavorting In foreign
ports. The films will be exhibited ex-
tensively throughout the Volunteer
state, thus maintaining interest in re-

be also athletic and educational equip

OF the ambitions Of her captain.

the special red pennant flown aloft at
