Work is a moral and physical up
litter, it is a panacea for sorrow; idle
ness brings moral decay and furnishes
an incentive to crime. The avalanche
of crime that is sweeping over our
beautiful land is largely due to the
fact that too many would rather steal
than work. The life of duty, not the
life of mere ease or more pleasure, is
the end of life which makes the great
men and women. The best prize that
life offers is the chance to work at
work worth doing.

Did you ever stop to think that it
was one thing to talk about people and
another thing to have people talk
about you If those of ms who use our
tongues a little too freely about our
neighbors would stop and reflect about
the matter and know the great evil
that comes from too much talk and
tattling, We are sure we would call a
halt and gossip no more forever.

We often find farmers who lose no
chance of securing machinery for say

think of anything about the machines
that save labor in the house. That is
out of their province and they don't
seem to care enough about it to give
the matter any attention whatever

Gladys by name, at the age of l6,

of that place. There were 1888 others
in the class, and but very few of them
as young as Gladys. A chip off the OLD

A PLEASANT OUTING.

The Congregational Sunday school
and ch3lch held their annual picnic at
Crystal Lake, Dodgeville. last Friday
afternoon and evening and the occasion
proved most delightful outing for
seventy-eight (7S) auto loads of young
and old from the parish. Two things
particularly featured the program of
activities - the abundance and quality
of the eats and the enlivening and gen
erous music furnished by the Mineral
Point band.
Regardless of the, at times, threaten
ing weather, every one present voted
the 1920 picnic more than ordinary
success.
