CURRENT COMMENT

THE City Council did yell TO APP
propriate funds for completing
the grsndstand in the City park.
Athletic grounds are a towns great
est asset. They beat the streets Of
the town a thousand miles. Boys
having access TO athletic grounds will
not bs found In places where they are
tempted TO hatch up mischief and get
into trouble. They take to athletics
like ducks do 10 water and any town
that has not place where the boys
can play baseball, football. tennis and
the ether outdoor games that come in
season il dragging along at the tail
end Of the procession The boys Of
that town will grow up to hate the
very town itself. while the greater
per cent Of the boys Of that town
will amount to so little they will
even hate themselves.

ISN'T it funny that the man who
thinks he is business man will
get up in the morning from an adver-
tised mattress and shave with on adj
vertised razor. take off advertised pa
jamas and put on advertised UNDER
wear, hose, shirt, collar and tie, seat
at the table and eat advertis-
ed breakfast food, put on an advertis-
ed hat, light an advertised cigar, go
to his place of business and turn down
on the ground that adver-
Using doesn't pay?

TT has taken time, but IL is at last
being recognized that the national
rail wage agreements were the great
est raid In legal looting of private
corporations and public funds that
this country has ever experienced, and
the present exhorbitant high freight
rates are the result OF those agree
ments. These figures were "slipped
over on a distracted and harassed
nation in wartime. Just why, how

TILE lesson of the ages is that the
only things worth anything to us
are those for which we must strive.
Life's dividends are paid on industry,
good behavior, honesty, generosity,
kindness and love. Sometimes the
dividends are paid in satisfaction,
sometimes in other coin. Humanity
needs something to do and something
to love. The finest thrill is that of
personal achievement The greatest
failure is the man who believes some
body should do something for him
The person who believes that in some
mysterious way, either by the work
ings Of economic law or by the legis-
lative process, he can be relieved of
his obligations TO existence has some
thing in his earburetor. In the first
place, the thing can't be done. In the
second place il would be Of no value
( it could.

 The reception I received just be- fore the war when I went to fight Gunboat Smith was tremendous, but it was nothing compared to what fol- lowed this triumph over the big Eng lishman. The noise was less, perhaps the crowd was less, but the peopl, who followed me to my hotel k2r up a constant request for this or tha- thing before they would allow me to stop autographing photographs, writ ing my name in books.
 I had plenty to think of after this bout. My marriage was impending and I planned to go to America.

 The crowd that greeted me in ra was a riot. Nothing else could de scribe it. Leaving the train at the Paris station I was seized and kissed, deluged with flowers. Notes from women fell about my feet.
 "Vive Carpentier,' they shouted. You think I had just returned from conquerins a nation instead of a man. It was all very wonderful. My coun- trymen were overjoyed to think their champion had again proved his su- periority.
 Then came the preparation for the trip to America. Everything else was put behind. except, of course, my marriage to Georgette Lasasser, a beautiful girl I had met while in the army. We were wed just before embarking for America, on which trip she, of course, accompanied me. We have been supremely happy
 America has been very good to us. We were greeted by batteries of cam eras. We have lived in a sumptuous hotel in New Yo-k. We have been treated with the utmost considera- ton at all points. I have no doubt that I will lind just as much pleasure in the acquaintance of Americans as in the affection of their first cousins, the English.

 Beckett was off balance immedi- ately. and I shot my left hand into his eye. The blow shook him and left him perplexed.
