a most decided success was the
opening performance Of the High
school play Foot OF The Rainbow"
which was put on by tho seniors
OF the school on Saturday cvenG-
ing. A full house greeted the first
net. and never for Ii minute dur
ing the evening did the interest
of the audience waver. More than
usual ability was manifested by
the young actors, all OF whom did
their part creditably. There we're
fourteen characters represented IN
the play, and while some did potic.
ably better work than others. all
received compliments and as I
whole they made an exceptionally
good showing. A feature OF tho
evenings interest was the spirited
contest between tho E%ss and
Girls Cleo Clubs. Both clubs were
in their best form and there seem
led to be no decision rs to which

Really, then, can you collect what's com.
ing to you from 1ife-the zest, the accomplish
ment. the 'feel' and enjoyment-and tribe
with your investment in health
There's no &c sacrifice in safety from coffee
and tea dangers-not a bit. Postum fur
nishes the way.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage, rich;
comforting and satisfying, deep brown in
color, with a coffee-1ike tang and a flavor
which makes you say, "How good it t%astes!'
Don't think you will miss anything when
ycu change from coffee or tea to Postum.
You gainl Ask the Postum users. They
know. And they're mighty free to tell you.
Postum has been serving human need for
a quarter Of a century. It has been a world
wide table-drink these many years-the nun-
Der of its users growing daily. Postum is sold
and served wherever good food n drink ara
sold and served. And Postum is the mealtine
beverage Of folks who have decided to coma
up and keep up where they belong-purpose-
full, w~ide-awake, healthy and happy folks who
believe it's better to be safe than sorry-par-
ticularly when it's more pleasant and agree"
able being safe.
If you don't happen to be a Postum user
yet,-wouldn't it be better for you to be out
on the sunrise road, going up and keeping up,
and staying away from the shadows where SO
many havefound trouble and d-iscouragement2
We can't ask life to be fair with US, you
know-unless we're fair with ourselves. And
daily drugging of the nervous system is not
being fair with urselves-especially when we
know the facts as SO many physicians have
pointed them out.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-11-09

TIFE owes us all something's we've pro-
IL tected our investment. Many OF US try
70 60 on collecting from life without protecting
our investment. And we can't. And there's
trouble-and disappointment.
What's become of those mornings when it
was great to be alive, and every sense thrilled
to the inspiration of health and energy and
ambition? 1t was easy to collect from life
then. Is it so easy now? Probably llte IS
Just the same-and it's ourselves that have
changed.
Let's think: Have we protected our invest
ment? Health was the big thing. Sound body
and nerves-eat well, sleep well, play well,
work well. That was the life. What's be
come Of it? What is becoming Of it-now?
Protecting or neglecting? It's very impor-
ant to know-and in time.
What about coffee and tea day after day?
Let's look at the facts: Caffeine in coffee and
THEM in tea are drugs-well-known drugs with
a w~eIl-known effect. Useful, perhaps, when a
doctor prescribes them. They whip up the
nerves.
That may be all right-sometimes. But
it may be all wrong all the time. II a
great many cases it is all wrong; disturbing
to health, as your doctor can tell you-rob-
bing nights Of sleep and days of efficiency,
harming digestion, bringing headaches and
high blood pressure-laying the grounds for
serious trouble.

A FRESH BEGINNING

every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new.
You are weary of sorrow and shining,
Here is beautiful hope for you,
A hope for me and hope for you.
"All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done, and the tears are
shed;
Yesterdays errors, let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds which smarted and
bled
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
"Let them 60 since we can not relieve
them;
Can not undo and can not atone;
God in His mercy relieve, forgive them;
Only the new days are our own.
Today is ours, and today alone.
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING
And troubles forecasted, and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day and begin
again." Selected.

WILD GAME IN FORESTS OF
NORTHERN MINNESOTA
CONTINUED from page y

several hundred 60 on vacation for the
express purpose of getting shot at deer
or moose.
So while there is a chance of drawing
some few men out of every thousand of
the potential tourists being attracted to
the Superior national forest region by the
fact that in certain areas they may hunt
big game there are going to be hundreds
out of every thousand who will come if
they can be assured of seeing wild deer,
moose or beaver in a native setting of
pines, spruce and tamrack. And the queer
part of it is that with those people who
come only to look on the deer or moose in
the live wild state, they are as keen about
seeing the animal as the average big game
hunter is keen about bagging one. And
they will tell to friends and acquaintance
the fact they saw wild animals in their
native haunts as quickly as will the hun
ter tell of bagging big buck. And the
big feature of all is that the same live
animal may be viewed by hundreds but
shot only once by the hunter.
1t is up to the people of the entire state
to awaken to the fact that the wild game
has one of the greatest of all values found
ip the Superior forest when recreation
values are judged. And it must be fur
ther realized that this great public pro-
perty in the game and forest has dozens
and dozens of times the value alive in the
great state game sanctuary that it has if
it is the victim of the hunter.
One of the three greatest drawing cards
for the great tourist and recreation land
in the Superior national forest is live
game and when the local people and state
at large actually realize that killing it
within the sanctuary is destroying one of
their greatest public assets, the illegal
hunter will be branded as an enemy of
the community as surely as it is the ordi-
nary law violator.-Arthur II. Carhart,
recreation engineer of the United States
forest serVice.

DAFFODILS

Beauty? Good lack! what need have we,
They said-What need hath any man
Of aught so stale? Let be, let be!
A rouged and withered courtesan!
oh, from our druid wales and hills,
Tell them they lied, you Daffodils!
Tell them by whom your blooms are lit
With fires of Godhood year by year;
What plumed and singing spirits fit
Earthward, and touch with fancy spear
Your pale green spears, and star the sod
With yellow avatars of God
Tell them that through your lonely hours
Eternal Beauty wanders by:
Unknown, indesecrable Powers,
Masters of earth and sea and sky
That the dear Gods and Heroes slain
Live in your loveliness again.
Yea, live! 'Tis only we that die,
That suffer wars and dearth and shame
In our fools blindness that deny
The immortal beauty born in Them.
The citron hues your blossom dons
Are proof of all the Pantheons.

The institution now owns and is oper-
ating gas farm tractor.
Christian Science services were held
in the chapel Sunday morning.
The opposing ball team Saturday will
be from the Hudson railroad shops.
The large number Of cell changes this
week is due to putting on night crew
in the twine factory.
One system in the twine factory is
now running nights. The inmate crew
started Thursday night the 14th.
last Wednesday, the 18th, our oat
harvest was on, and the new tractor was
used in place of horses on the Minnesota
binder.
"A fire started on the third floor of the
twine factory at so p. m. Monday,
caused probably by spark in one of the
carding machines. But one system was
shut down on account of the fire.
"A very heavy wind and rain storm
passed over this section last week We'd
nesday. The rain was very acceptable,
but the greater part of the truck farm
had been dry so long that the rain was Of
no benefit to it.
The members of the St. Paul Fire
mems team, which had only lost one game
out of seven played were confident of
winning last Saturday but the M. S. P.
team trimmed them to 4. They are
booked for return game in August.
The weather appeared so cloudy Sat-
urday morning, we thought Mr.. Jinx was
still with us, but it cleared up in time for
us to see the M. S. P. defeat the Firemen,
and as there were no casualties to our ball
team we believe he must have left.
The two master clock systems are
now in full operation and the small clocks
of each system now have an individual
number. There are thirty-six clocks oper-
ating, seventeen being connected with the
master clock in the rotunda and nineteen
with the master clock located in the power
house.
According to an old saying-some
men were born great, others achieved
greatness, while others had greatness thrust
upon them. You may wonder what all
this has to do with the Irish question
but did you ever hear of a man becoming
bald over night, or in few minutes of
time? When the news that England and
Ireland had signed an agreement to cease
battling and start talking our steward
was so affected that in a few minutes time
he developed the smoothest, incest, bald
pate you could wish to look upon.

ESCAPE

All summer long my feet must tread
The city ways. Yet l escape!
Just yestermorn l passed upon the pave
A faded water-lily bud. Straightway
The swift-winged plane of memory
Sped me to the old rowboat
Drifting at will among the lily-pads
OF the bluff-bound, sky-mirroring lake.
There they awaited me, boon comrades
OF four decades gone
We filled our boat with blossoms
And all cur hearts with JOY.
Time has not faded either treasure
We remember!
So yesterday, while city voices clamored,
| escaped to laughter and to loveliness
Upon the bosom of placid lake.

Shall thy tides compel me
From the calm shore?
Down the far ways of the winds,
And the deeps, impel me?

Not as landsmen sing it!
Mine be .he long
Roll of sea-drums, and the trump
AS the thunders ring it.
Tone me deep bells,
Bells of surges breaking;
Where the storm swells
Toll my earth-sleep in the chimes
Of spirit waking.
Nay! buried deep
On my coral pillows,
l shall not sleep
Grooming my dirge through the boom
Of the cool green pillows.
