HIGH SPOTS

Each of us is an expression OF an

For we seek only such standards as
we are able to support and defend.
Now an average is the sum total of
all that a man does-his lowest and
highest efforts added together.
And tt is the high spots in your
achievements which bring up your av-

Keep your eye and mind on the high

OF course you will get very discour-

MINCE PIES


My Aunt Jemima used to rise when
wintry weather came, and make the
grandest old mince pies! She was a
queenly dame; she had blue prints
for pies and cakes of old colonial
times, compared with which our mod
ern fakes in cookery are crimes. My
Aunt Jemima bakes no more, no more
with me she dwells; she journeyed to
the other shore, where she is wearing
bells. There's no one now to make
me pies like Aunt Jemima made;
the housewife to the grocer HES for
mincemeat that's decayed. Oh, now
and then a female cries, you're talk
ing through your lid, for can make
as gorgeous pies as e'er Jemima did.
Come, eat with us tomorrow eve, and
l shall have pie that will your yearn-
ing soul revive, and squelcn your hope
less sigh" And l loom up for grub
on time, beneath that DANES roof
tree, and find her mince pie is a
crime, just as l knew 'twould be.
Then I must like a statesman lie, to
save her from despair, and l assure
her that her pie was right side up with
care. I'm homesick for the old time
plans, old days, serene and sweet,
when housewives didn't open cans for
everything we eat; when stuff like
mincemeat wasn't timed, or sold in
paper sack. but all my sighings are
as wind-the old times don't come
back.

The Marines in Haiti

The exoneration of the marines who had
served in Haiti in connection with charge that
they had Unfortunately killed natives to main
tain order is a piece Of information that will be
accepted gladly by the vast majority of Ameri-
can citizens.
When the charge was first made, many
doubted the truth of the allegation, but were
forced to accept it until official investigation
could establish it's authenticity or deny it as a
SANDER on brave unit of the American fighting
force.
Rear Admiral Mayo and Maj J. F. Dyer, who
made careful investigation, have reported that
the charges made by Brig. Gen. Bennett in a let
ter to Col. ]. H. Russell were ell considered,
regrettable and thoroughly unwarranted refec-
tons portion of the United States marine
corps, which has performed difficult, dangerous
and delicate duty in Haiti in manner which.
instead of calling for adverse criticism, is en-
titled to the highest commentator"
The report of the investigating committee
probably will close the incident, but not all the
damage done by the accusation will be repaired.
Thousands who read the accusation may not see
the exoneration which the committee published,
and many foreign newspapers that printed the
charge of Brig. Gen. Bennett will not believe it
worth while to publish the denial.
Charges of brutality by soldiers natives
are easily believed by many persons who like to
find fault with the conduct of our military estab-
lishment. Even the exoneration will be doubted
by many of them who will rate the report as an
attempt to "whtewash" the conduct of the
marine detachment stationed in Haiti. Fair
minded persons are happy to learn that the accu-
sation is without foundation and that the
marines have conducted themselves admirably in
a delicate situation.

OHIO TOWN IS SCENE
OF GROCERY BATTLE:
COMPETITION keen

NEW CARLISLE, O., Dec. 21.-This
little town of 1000 inhabitants is all
agog over bitter to-the-finish fight
that is raging in it's heretofore quiet
midst Battlelines are drawn sharply,
end high feelings have been engender-
ed. The fray is one of steaks. and
chops. of potatoes and tomatoes and
ether necessary edibles and concerns
the hours of their disposal.
It's war" between the towns
seven grocery keepers, and the strug-
gle has become so bitter that they all
are remaining open every week day
night, and one proprietor advertises in
the local paper that he'll keep his
store open "all night and on Sundays
until after Church"
Used To Be Friends.
Time was, and it was only short
while ago. that New Carlisle had Only
four groceries for its 1000 population.
The ways of trade ran smooth then.
for all the four proprietors were
friends, it is said and amicably settled
among themselves the hours of open
ing and closing their respective
storeS
For years, the four groceries closed
each Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p. m,
remaining open on the other days, ex-
cept Sunday, until 9 p. m.
A short time ago, a new store was
opened on Jefferson Street, opposite
one of the towns old groceries. The
new store stayed open every night in
the week. "I'll have to do it too"
said the competitor.
Two weeks later, another new store
was opened on North Main street, in
almost as close a position. to another
of the original grocery keepers. The
proprietor of the second store decided
to boom things along by keeping open
every evening. Old grocer No. 2 fig
ured he'd have to do the same to
keep his trade. Then a third new
grocery was started, and it also kept
late hours.
It's A Bitter Battle.
Now, every grocery store in the
town runs full blast every week day
night. One can buy loaf of bread,
or a pound of butter most any time of
the day or night. Some of the original
store-keepers, it is said, are becoming
very bitter at not having any time for
themselves and families.

Night School Certificates

One hundred students of the night school,
who are taking advantage of the Richmond
school system to improve their education and
make themselves better units of the social sys-
tenn, received certificates telling of their excel
lent work Monday night
The awarding of the certificates, school
authorities said innovation. They were
given only to those who had done excellent work
during the term. They represent an attainment,
therefore, of which the recipients might well feel
proud. Only one-sixth of the entire enrolment
and about one-third of those who fairly
regular in attendance received the certificates.
Night classes are boon to persons whose
education interrupted or who are seeking
schooling along lines which will improve their
earning capacity. The school authorities are
bringing education to the very door of scores who
otherwise would not be able to improve them
selves mentally.
Hundreds of persons who have not taken ad-
vantage of the courses offered during the first
term invited to enroll for the next term
which begins Jan. 10. Enrolment is scheduled
for Jan. 6 and 7.
The value of an education is becoming more
apparent day after day. Data collected by the
federal government shows that the men and
women who have trained their minds to assist
the work of their hands are the ones who receive
promotions and whose pay envelope shows steady
increases.
One cannot prefer the charge against the
Richmond school system that it does not give
plenty of opportunity to study to the ambitious
