MAY DAY PREPARATIONS
BEING RAPIDLY SHAPED

The preparations for the two days
celebration which the Colony will hold
on Sunday and Monday, May lst and
End, are being shaped into a concrete
program.
Last Saturday evening before the
dance, the refreshment committee met
and made its arrangements for the eat
ing part of the program. 1t was decided
that on Sunday at noon a light
lunch will be served for bachelors, the
families being requested to care for
themselves for this meal and thus re-
lieve the regular hotel crew. A bas-
ket picnic at 400 will be served in
the picnic grounds, When all will eat
and have good time. Arrangements
will be made to serve cold drinks, ice
cream, cakes, and sandwiches to Wis
itors all day, and rest room for lad
les will be provided Monday the reg
uIar meals will be given at the hotel.
On Sunday the sports will start the
ball rolling at 1000 and will contin-
ue until lunch. After lunch the speak
ing will be featured until the picnic at
400. AT $50 will begin a vaudeville
show at the theater, and at 7:30 the
seven reel picture From Dusk to
Dawn" will be shown, if final arrange
ments are satisfactory.
The live stock department is prepar-
ing some exhibits of calves, hogs, and
chickens, and the industrial and school
exhibits will be the best ever held.
These will be open all day on both
days.
On Monday there will be more
sports, etc, and in the evening dance
will conclude the celebration.
Mrs, Briggs and Mrs. Olsen will be
in charge of the basket picnic, while
Mrs. Dougherty and Mrs. CantrelI will
have charge of the refreshment booth.
Job Hartman is expected to be the
speaker of the occasion, with probably
others.

THE NEW BIRTH

The sum and substance of the pub
lie life of any community is made up
of the personal conduct of each indi-
vidual member. This conduct is either
voluntarily determined by the prudent
choice or determination by each one
from within, i.e., self-control or, where
this is lacking, a required degree of re
strain must be exercised upon recalcit-
rant members from without.
Conduct is not matter of arbitrary
caprice or pigheaded wilfuIness, but
one of adaptableness to a given set of
circumstances or of an environment.
A correct estimate must be made of
the character of the people and the
material resources available. The bet
ter and more correct the knowledge of
all present facilities and means are,
the more satisfactory will be the re-
suits achieved. Right thinking is es-
sential to this, and right thinkinc in
its purity is the natural, spontaneous
outgrowth of right living, right sur
rounding conditions, associations, and
environment The true right thinker
will, like ToIstoy, employ his thinking
ability to get into a right kind of al
environment, instead of forcing his
mental machinery to go counter to adj
verse conditions.
Democracy is of the heart. 1t car

their associates. Democracy like al
other virtues, can be lived into a per.

SPRING REMUNERATION

Asparagus and rhubarb are very
helpful in cleansing the system in the
spring. The first assists in the elimin-
ative functions of the skin and kidneys.
while the latter wipes out the uric ac-
id in the body, and if eaten regularly.
will safeguard persons against rheu-
matism.
Cucumbers and tomatoes cool the
blood and clear the skin. Onions are
credited with beautifying effects upon
the skin. A celebrated actress is ac-
customed to eat an onion sandwich at
bedtime every night. This assists in
giving her sound sleep and in giving
her skin transparent purity. Lettuce,
too, has a soporific effect and is help
full for those troubled with sleepless-
ness.
All fruits have good tonic qualities
and should be eaten in large quanti-
ties. This is especially true of apples,
grapes, and peaches. A liberal amount
