You can't ignore that truth, and
you can't deny that the newspaper is
the greatest means of education in

community like this going for months

The whole world might be in flames,
great inventions might be born or
wars started. Yet, il there were no

START IT RIGHT

There is but one way to get NOR,
out Of the year 1922 than got oat o,
the year WHICH precee ied it-and that
Is to start it right.
Good resolutions made upon tn:
New Year are just like so much Die
crust, the are very eaisly broken, un.
less you make firmer resolution than
all the others-and that is a resolve
to keep them. There is but one safe
way to lay out those resolutions. and
that is to look back over the years
mat nave gone, single out mistakes
that nave been made, and then re-
solve not to make the same mistakes
again.
Despite the fact that there is a lot
of misery in the world, if We could
corral it, drive it all into one big
bunch, and then take a note of it. But
fortunately there is happiness enough
to over-balance it, and where we find
one case Of misery we find a dozen
cases OF happiness. There isn't an
actual want, or privation, or heart
rending cases Of neglect here, and We
know OF no such cases in the COM
munity surrounding But with all
TINS there is still more happiness to
be had than we have experienced dur
ing the past year if we will but make
up our minds now, as we start a new
year, to search for it. Hunting for
happiness is just like hunting for any,
thing else-the harder you hunt the
more apt you are to find it. 1t isn't
gong to come to you, unless You cul-
tivate the habit of carrying it to
others. Why not make one big, whole
scn:e resolution for the year-make
1t broad and then stick to it. And
why not let that resolution be that
you will do at least one kindly act to-
ward relative, a neighbor, a friend,
or even stranger who may be in
our midst every day during the entire
year, This doesn't mean you viii
have to dig into your pocket for q
present every day. It doesn't mean
you'll have to neglect your business.
For no matter where you are you can
ind time to do something that will
make someone smile, that will make
someone's heart happy for a pass
ing mcment-and that is as kindly an
act as anyone can ever do.
Resolve to do kind act every day
during the year 1922, and see il there
isn't lot Of happiness lying right
around home that you have been over.

OPEN BIDS FOR
= GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Board of Public Instruction Wants
Building by Coming Fall.

Bids for the construction of the P. K.
Yonge grammar school will be opened
by the county board of public instruc-
ton and the special school tax district
trustees at IL o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. 1t is planned to let the contract
at once and the board hopes to have
the building ready for occupancy by
the coming fall.
The new grammar school is planned
to take care of the congestion which
is now very great in the existing
grammar schools. Many children who
now attend the Jockey and Clubbs
school will be transferred to the P. K.
Yonge school, thus enabling all teach
ers to do better work.
Plans for the new building We're
drawn by Walker D. Willis, architect
for the board. The building will be
three stories, including the ground
floor, and will have about 20 rooms.
Special provisions have been made for
manual training and domestic science,
although these departments may not
be used at the beginning of the next
school year.
The new building will be erected on
the lots owned by the board, bounded
by Lee, Lloyd, Palafox and Baylen-
SITS, the board having acquired title to
the entire block.

'PAULIST FATHERS
COMMENCE MISSION
Rev. A. r. Miller breaches on Sub
Iect: as Life Worth LiVins?"

The Paulist Father, Rev. A. R. Mil
Ter, opened a two-weeks' mission yes
terday in ST. Mitchaers church. In
the course of his first sermon at the
high mass, the missionary explained
the meaning and purpose OF the mis-
sion; the benefits to be derived from
1t and asked the hearty cooperation
of all to make it the most successful
mission ever conducted in Pensacola.
Last night the subject of the mis-
sion was: rs Life Worth Living?"
Viewed from almost any angle, de-
clared the missionary, the life or the
average man here upon earth is
warfare; a constant struggle; con-
slant fighting. To some this truth is
brought home more forcibly than to
others, yet it is true of all. The poor
struggle; the rich struggle and for
what. The young slave and toll day
after day and yet what do the old
possess? The outlay is great; the
labor hard and long, the reward
small. Truly one might well ask as
he gazes on the vast multitudes the
world over toiling year after year at
their appointed task, is life worth the
living? Is the game worth the can
die?
Not in any human philosophy, said
Father Miller; not in the teaching of
any mere man, will we find the an
swer to that question. There is only
One amongst those who have posed as
teachers and leaders of men, that can
assure our minds that life with all its
trials and sorrows and disappoint-
ments is indeed worth living. And
that One is Christ, the Eternal Son
of God. That man has an immortal
soul destined for final union with God
it's Creator. That this soul of man IS
priceless beyond the mere human
words to express. Mans soul has
been redeemed not with the blood of
goats and oxen but with the Blood Of
the Son of God. We have been bought
with great price" Christ teaches,
too, that it is mans one concern here
upon earth, to save his immortal soul
The grand purpose of life is to know,
love and serve the God Who created
us, always despite earthly surround
ings. Loyalty to God and Christ is
Christ. / care not, said the speaker,
with what magnificence you may be
surrounded; l care not what fortune
you may have amassed, / care not
what worldly Lonors you may have
acquired, if you are atraitor to your
God and to Christ and your own soul,
life is not worth the living.
The services tonight will begin at
1880 o'clock. The subject of the dis
course is MANS Privilege"
Large crowds greeted the eloquent
missionary both at the morning and
evening services yesterday, and good
congregations attended the early
masses today,
The solo last evening was by Mrs.
Mcleod, who sang with much feeling

Prosecution Examined Ten RebuttaI
Witnesses Yesterday.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March 12.-
The prosecution in the Matewan bat
tie trial examined ten rebuttal wit
nesses up to noon today, when court
adjourned owing TO the illness of one
of the defendants.
Doug" Mounts, reported i'll early
this week, was unable to appear in
court this afternoon, and Judge r. ID.
Bailey announced adjournment until
Monday morning.
Testimony of the rebuttal witnesses,
while pertinent. will for the most part
reptile on evidence submitted pervious-
ly. w. G. Cornell, who said he was
an eye witness of the battle in which
ten men met death, was called by the
prosecution in an effort to show that
Albert Felts, leader of the Baldwin
Felts detectives. who took part in the
fight, did not give his men a signal
before starting the battle. Several de-
Tense witnesses testified that while
Felts and Mayor c. c. FISHERMAN
were standing in front of a hardware
store talking. the former stood on his
tip toes shortly before the first shot
was fired and told his men to line
up" Through Cornell the state sought
to show that it was a habit of Felts
to balance himself on his tip toes while
engaged in conversation. Judge Bal
ley did not permit the evidence to go
to the jury, but it was read into the
record.
Ira Mclaughlin, a state witness, told
the jury today that he saw J. G. Jack
in Matewan before the fight started.
Jack testified previously that he was
an eye witness of the battle, while
several defense witnesses said he ar
rived in Matewan on a train shortly
after the fight occurred.

RECORD is MADE BY
STATE UNIVERSITY

GAINESVILLE, Fla, March 13.-In
crease by seven times in the last u
months the number of persons receiv
ing instruction, the University of Flor
ida has established a national record
for itself. That was made possible by
offering extension courses through
new general extension division.
BY enrolling 5,S04 students during
the year the new Florida general ex-
tension division also broke by wide
margin all records for the first year
made by 3S other states doing similar
work. Students were enrolled from
every county in the state and from 10
other states and foreign countries.
Officials consider this a noteworthy
achievement in view of the fact that
Florida has scarcely more than half
a million white inhabitants. The work
has been under the direction of b. c.
Riley. formerly of the University of
Indiana and the University of Arkan-
sas as director of the general extern
sion work for all state institutions of
higher learning in Florida.
