The presentation took place at tht
Angelus Hotel where a small gather

1t is needless to say that Mr.. Wilco'
was both surprised and pleased Th'
token, aside from its rather high in
trinsic value, carries with it a fra
ternal feeling from the men of hi
old division that represents more o
value than can be expressed in pre-
cious stones or metals. Mr. Wilco,
is held in high regard, and justly so
for he has not only been ccmpeten
Superintendent, but the real frient
of every man with whom he came il
contact. Mr.. Cowan's remarks il
making the presentation were heart
felt and graceful, and Mr.. Wilco,
feelingly responded, expressing his
continued interest in the welfare o.

While the Going Was Good

A darkey was ushered into the en-
ployment bureau of the Du Pont
Powder Works and piled with the
usual questions put to all new hands
taken on at the works.
The old darkey stood the examina-
tion pretty we'll, but was beginning
to feel just little bit "oneasy' when
one of the men suddenly asked
"And who would you like to be no
titled in case of serious accident?''
The darkey paused and scratched
his head bit at this unexpected
blow at his morale, but after little
while he thought of two persons who
might like to know of his misfortune
Their names were written down.
"And now," said one of the examin-
ers, where would you like your re-
mains shipped?'
where would like my remains
shipped?" responded the darkey in 3
groggy sort of voice. Boss Ise gwine
to take 'em away from here right
now!" 80

In loving memory of our precious
mother, Jennie Chiodo, who was called
to that heavenly home above, one
year ago today, December l2, 1919.
What is home without a mother,
Or the things the world may send
For when we lost our darling
We Lost our dearest friend.
She wore the crown of patience
Thru the years she struggled on,
And those hands at rest forever,
Were the hands that nade our home
Darling we are so lonely, how we

THE VALUE OF A PAL
By George Matthews Adams.

By George Matthews Adams
A Pal is in the diamond, pearl, ruby
class-very rare and very precious
But different in this way-fine and
scarce as real Pal is. intrinsic value
does not enter into his possession.
A Pal comes, somehow, and then he
stays and sticks and gives.
A Pal loves, forgives, forgets, SYM
pathizes, understands above all, un-
derstands. You don't have to explain
or excuse to the one who is your Pal
A Pal always comes to you when
you need him most, and he isn't
scared away bit if the whole world
deserts you. He is there to stay be-
cause, don't you see. he is your Pal,
and you want him, and he wants you.
And that explains everything.
There is something infinitely won
derful about ones Pal that you can't
even express or explain.
A Pal doesn't keep things back. A
Pal is honnest, above-board, open,
and expressive. A Pal. can make mis-
takes and they are just mistakes, but
if he isn't your Pal, then they are
blunders instead, and you may resent
and be unhappy and sadly sorry-but
somehow with Pal, you love right
through everything and are the
stronger bound for the very weak
nesses that sometimes hide strong
feeling unexpressed.
A Pal is always around-in spirit
and in feeling. He doesn't under.
stand the fair-weather quality. If ii
rains he is still your Pal. If it cy-
clones, he is just the same as when
the sun is brightest and warmest. A
Pal hovers about.
My Pal is always around when I am
most in need and 1 am inspired and
spurred ahead.
shall win all things worth while
because have Pal, and there will
be no secrets except for that utter
freedom and frankness of expression
between US, back and forth, which
in itself, becomes a double secret tc
the world, but no secret at all as fai
as we are concerned.
If you have Pal you have the
world-and no one can take it from
you.

twelve of the Peanut mine men were

car would jump the track, the men all
jumped, Fred Miller being the last
one off. He landed on tie and was
badly shaken up. However he was
the only one to receive any injury and
although it was at first thought his
hip bone was fractured, this proved
not to be the case He is still confined

In Memorialn

In loving remebrance of our darling
mother, Jennie Chiodo. who departed
this life one year ago today, .Decem-
ber II, 1919.
"We owe to our angel mother
All we are or hope to be-
Even to our hopes cf heaven,
That fair land across deaths sea.
Oh, how carefully she taught us
Thru our happy, careless youth,
To be honest, ever faithful,
Fer to stand for right and truth.
And that mother. who lies sleeping
Now beneath the cold, cold sod,
Showed thru all her lifelong journey
That she ever walked with God.
Sadly missed by Mr., and Mrs. Au-
gust Welch.
