GROUND IMPROVEMENTS.
Race Track Added To High School
 Athletic Equipment.

A great improvement has been added to our athletic equipments, in fact several improvements have been added, but first we shall discuss the newly com pleted race track.
 Under the direction of MT. Hirst the much needed race track has been completed It is an exceptionally good one, 16 feet wide and a quarter of a mile long It circles around the foot ball field The value of this track was shown in the late county contest,
 In the space enclosed by the track, hurdles have been placed, posts for vaulting and high jumping have been erected.
 This not only is great benefit to the students. but it improves the ap- pearance of the campus. A vault ing pole, discus, and shot have been purchased and the boys are training for the distnct and state meet at Nashville and Hope respectively.

AMBITION.

Ambition is that particular some thing that spurs men on the bigger things-makes them want to succeed to be somebody-tO get some where It fires the furnace of industry-it turns the wheels of commerce and sends the ships carrying the American flag into every part of the world. Ambi ton laid the great ocean cables con meeting one country with another-it brought the utOmobtle-inyented the aeroplane-built the Panama Canal. In fact. ambition made this country the best in the world and made us the greatest people on earth.
 T. D. English said. ambition is the germ from which all growth of nobleness proceeds and Donald c. Mitchell writes that ambition is the spur that makes man struggle with des- tiny. It is heavens own incentive to make purpose great and achievement greater" Ambition is lust that is never quenched by enjoyment" said Otway.
 And what lot of meaning there is in Penn's quotation when he remarked that "the tallest trees are most in the power of the winds, and ambitious men, of the blast of fortune Macheavelli said ambition is so powerful a pas sion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied. And wei lthtt it is so, because, were we satisfied the trains of progress would stop-the world would go back wards and living cease to be a joy. We have told you what ambition is what it does and what great men said about it. But remember that what you become-what you accomplish in this good old world depends largly upon the amount of ambition stored up in your own good self, so tomorrow tackle your work with more ambition than you have ever thrown in it before and you will soon find yourself gaining getting broader than ever, and you will be getting just that much closer to what you are really trying to get out of life

There is an old saying that two

There is an old saying that two people do not love each other well until they have learned to quarrel properly, and t'other way around, two people cannot quarrel properly unless they love each other exceedingly well. Tax ing this to be true, we surely think that Rubie must be waverilig between Horace and Arthur, for she certainly does know how to quarrel with them.

M'MAH0N HAS PLAN
NOnld Make Board of Finance and Taxation Elective, Six Members to Retire from Office Each Year.

p. s.

Me Mahon will explain plan which he believes will do away with the disor- der that has attended the city meet ings of tho past few years. H~ would have the board of finance and e.xa ton elective, each member to serve for two years. six to retire from office every year The membership would be non- pa artisan, the entire number to be members of either political par ty if the voters saw fit to so elect. A budget prepared by such body. which would be representative of the electors, would meet no strenuous ob- jection and it could go through the regular routine, the common council and thence to the city meeting. with out the slightest sign of disorder, he feels. By the adoption of such a charter amendment, Mir. McMahon feels, the wishes of the voters would be carried out.
