PARTLY FURNISHED

Some folks proclaim Joe Simpsons house
The most complete in town.
The rooms are laid with hardwood floors,
The rugs are soft as down.
The furniture is grand to see,
And costly paintings line the walls;
You touch button, here comes heat;
There and the soft light falls;
Curios gimcracks, everywhere
And yet to me the rooms seem bare
There are not any children there.
Some folks proclaim Joe Simpsons life
The fullest life in town;
He's filled it up with pleasant things
Has Travelled up and down
The earth's high places, read rare books,
Hunted big game, sailed far seas,
Courted fair women, 'paled with great men,
Drunk rare vintages to the lees,
Yet missed the rarest thing of all
babys laugh at morning song,
baby's kiss at eventual.

Anti-religionists seize on the evidences of the
beginnings Of animal life, as found in solid rocks
that must be untold millions of years Old to re-
flute the Bible story Of the creation by God.
They forget that Genesis was written in an age
that thought fancifully and by men who spoke
in representative terms. The truth is that there
is nothing in the highest or the deepest modern
science to disprove that God created the original
substance which became animal bone and muscle
and brain, and gave it life and in His own good
time invested 1.-THE human section of His crea-
ture creation-with a deathlesS soul. It doesn't
matter in the slightest how many millions Of
years ago those events took place

BUILDING A NEWSPAPER

A newspaper cannot be built up in a year Like
a mans life it is a matter of slow growth and
development Look over the newspapers and you
will find all the successful ones-the leading pa
pers in every town-have long been run under
one ownership. 1t is so the world over Money
alone can no more create a newspaper than it can
suddenly get for man new characterization.

EXPECT Three GOOD
NET GAMES TONIGHT

Three first class games of basket
ball are promised when the Commu-
nifty service basketball league gets in
to action again Tuesday night on the
w. floor. The teams in all three
games are evenly matched and each
promises to be battle royal.
The first game Of the evening Will
be played between the Business Col
lege five and the Starr team. The
dope slightly favors the college lads
to come out on the top, but the piano
lads have been playing a good game
lately and expect to trim the college
lads.
Hills Ladies' and the Quaker
Maids will hook up for the second
game and this promises to be the best
battle of the evening. The Quaker
Maids will be weakened somewhat
by the absence of two regular players.
Bristow jumping center and back
guard, and Heaton, floor guard, both
will be missing from the Maids lineup
Tuesday.
The final game will be played be-
tween the Betsy Ross team and the
Indianapolis Gloves. The Gloves have
added considerable strength to its
lineup and promise to give the Betsy
Ross five one of the best battles OF
the season.

er repeatedly in their Madison Square
Garden battle. Jack also received a
cauliflower ear.
No. g. Leo p. Flynn's candidate for

HIGH Basket TEAM
TO MEET Ohio FIVES
ON BARN-STORM TRIP

Richmond high school basket men
Eaton and Hamilton. O.. Friday and
Saturday of this week to engage the
high school teams of those places in
games which will be the hardest of
the season for the locals. The handi-
cap of the floors will test the stamina
and ability of the Red and White
quintet to the limit for a win over the
fast travelling Ohio fives.
Eaton high school plays in the
Armory at that city and barely 10 feet
from the floor, are rafters which in
terfere with scientific basket shoot
ing. Otherwise. the conditions are
fairly good for the locals to give the
confident Eaton lads a good drubbing.
Eaton is reputed to be team which
plays very consistent game of bas-
ketball and this style of play carries
them to victorious ends in the major
ity of their contests.
Little is known as TO the strength
of the Hamilton five, but from the
prestige Of the local school over Ohio
basketball teams, the Red and White
should have the edge over the school
which spends most of it's interest to
the advancement on football. Hamll-
ton drubbed Richmond in the opening
football contest last fall and the Rich
mond men are determined to go to
Hamilton to setback the prestige
which the Ohioans gained in the grid
game.
CIevenser In Charge.
Coach Stenger left for his home
during the Christmas vacation and the
high school team has been turned over
to Manager Clevenger for the barn
storming trip into Ohio. Practice was
held Monday afternoon in the Coils
cum and the team put on the finishing
touches for the preparations for the
two big games of the weekend.
The second team of the high school
will go to Hagerstown Friday night
to engage the second team of that
school in a curtain raiser to the main
go at that place. The seconds have a
formidable lineup of experienced men
who have been bidding fair for berths
on the first quintet and they are ex-
pected to have little trouble to dispose
with the Hagerstown lads in their
first encounter this year.

WHO SUPPORTED ATLAS?

From the Edinburgh Scotsman
A Sunday school teacher discovered,
to her disgust, that some of the small
members of her class had taken as
literal truths the tales of ancient gods
and goddesses which they had read in
a child's mythology at school. She de-
termined to destroy this belief by sim
pie logic, and asked:
who was it supported the world
on his shoulders?'
Atlas, Miss Mary" a little girl
promptly responded.
Yes. Now think; if he was sup
porting the world on his shoulders,
of course he could not be standing on
it. Now. what supported Atlas?"
A ponderous silence prevailed for a
minute, and then a little girl spoke
up.
"Oh, know. He married a rich
wife"
