who lives at Nicollet, are living in
homes of their own, in and around
Morgan. Mr.. and Mrs. Belize were
prosperous farmers, who recently left
the old home place, retiring from ac-
tive farm life, few years ago making
their home in this city. An unmarried
son lives with them. After the talk
by the minister, the children presented
their parents with two large upholster-
ed fumed oak rocking chairs. Other
guests presented the honored couple
with set of gold trimmed china. A
delicious wedding dinner was served
from a long table in the dining room.
The parents with their ten grown up
sons and daughters were the guests Of
honor. Yellow and white chrysanthe-
ums and snowy Easter lilies made a
pretty centerpiece for the dining
table. Little gold flowers were the
-favors. The guests spent a pleasant
evening in reviewing the earlier
years Of these pioneers. An orchestra,
composed Of different members of the
family furnished musical numbers
throughout the evening. At midnight
another lunch was served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Belize have host Of friends who
congratulate them on their years of
welded bliss and who wish them many
more happy returns of the anniver-
sary.
Comfrey High School boys and
girls basketball game caused a
ripple of excitment in our little city,
Friday evening when they expected to
carry away a victory for their re-
spective teams. The boys team
boosted that they would win the game
and then be in line to play Carlton.
Consequently intense interest was dis
played. The girls team however prov
ed no match whatever with our local
high school girls. The visiting team
held their own in the first half the
score being to in our favor. Our
girls won the game however in score
of 1910. In the game between our
boys and the visiting team, our boys
made II points before the Comfrey
boys made a score. The first basket
in their favor resulted from a free
throw. From then on the game was a
real live one. The Comfrey boys were
good sports however. It is conceded
that our boys were at their best.
They displayed splendid team work
and put up strong defence. Morgan
won the game in a score of 1922 in
our favor. Before Comfrey would
consent to play here they requested
that an outside referee should act dur
ing the boys game. Fortunately Mr..
Gregor Of Redwood Falls consented to
be referee for the game. He won the
favor of the audience with his alert
and fair decisions.

HAVE COURAGE TO LIVE
(By Dr.. William E. Barton.)

People try hard to be charitable to the memory
of those who commit suicide No longer are they
buried at the crossroads with stake driven
through the heart and deprived of the rites of
Christian burial or hope of the life everlasting
Nowadays we try to prove that they were insane,
that the unfortunate event was the result of
accident.
This is all very well for the memory of the
dead, and often more than he deserves: but how
about the living? They are left with a burden
and disgrace and shock from which they will
not recover for years
If you must commit suicide, jump off the deck
of an ocean steamer in the presence of witnesses,
and leave behind you plainly written statements
that will prevent other persons from being sus-
pected of your murder or blamed unjustly for
driving you to your grave. Do not subject your
friends to the humiliation of the inquest or the
expense and trouble of the funeral and the clean
up of the muss made by your experiment with
deadly weapons or poison.
But what a cowardy thing it is! What dis
honest thing!
In times following wars, there is always a
readjustment of values and an increased number
of business embarrassments. That is time when
a good many men of no very strong convictions
whether they would not be better off dead than
living. But that is not the whole problem. There
are times on the battlefield when man may bet
ter die, hero than live a coward. There are
times when it is better to live, an inconspicuous
hero struggling on with the load and doing,
ones duty faithfully, than to die a coward

the playground and recreation field of the nation.
The state will have vastly more public and

places of assembly and amusement. The nation
will pay for some of them, others will be erected
by private associations and the state.

MR.. I.ANSING'S BOOK

If the Versailles treaty is as bad as Mr. Lans-
ing in his recently issued book declares it to be,
the only way by which this country could serve
the of civilization was by rejecting the treaty
and insisting upon one
AT the time when it looked almost certain that
the senate would ratify the treaty Mr. Lansing,
far from giving his invaluable testimony as to the
defects of its construction was urging its adoption
But now since the senate killed the treaty, and
criticism of it can have little effect except to dis
credit its trainers Mr. Lansing is out with book
exposing the peace conference and its work, and
particularly, the president with whom he was at
that time, presumably, in confidential relations.
His motive then, is not to save the world from be-
coming entangled in a vicious treaty but to avenge
himself for the injury inflicted on him by the pres-
dent in declining to be governed by his secretary's
advice.

WEAR COTTON

A publicity campaign, by the South Carolina
League of Women Voters, is launched today to
induce the women of the United States to wear
cotton dresses in order to increase the market for
the Souhs favone product.
While the motives of the movement arc excel
lent its results are likely to be Disappointing. In
der the stress of some powerful excitement, like
war or famine the fair sex might be induced to
put economies before fashion, but in ordinary
times their incnalions lead rather than follow
production. If they would wear cotton dresses
exclusively and destroy them as soon as they begin
to fade ii would doubtless increase the demand for
the fibre and add few dollars per acre to the
output of Georgia and South Carolina farms But,
by the same token, it would make the sheep which
romp through the western plains and the modest
silk worms which we are preparing to domesticate
in Florida, languish in despair. ...'.'.

DON'T SELL,

Lakeland, like all other Florida cities is pre-
pared to go the limit in boosting baseball; but it
must be supplied with boosting ammunition, by the
team and its management. When baseball club
is organized there is an implied contract between
it and the city behind it. The city agrees to sup
port it and root for it; the club agrees to supply
the very best it has got or can get in the way of
playing. When the best player in the home team
is sold that violates the implied contract chls the
enthusiasm of the public and takes away the
genuine flavor of sport, leaving baseball on par
with the common tent show If Lakeland devel-
cps any high grade players there are reas-
ons TO expect some of them are now in Manager

COST OF EDUCATION
(Florila METROPOLIS

Despite the low salaries paid teachers and
r2oaSre and inadequate equipment in many schools,
people believe that the support of the public
schools is one of the chief burdens of the coun-
try. This opinion seems to prevail among many
state legislators, the men who levy the taxes for
educational purposes. At recent session of a
Legislature not a thousand miles from Jackson
Vile, a university professor expressed the opin-
ion that the support of the state university was
about to bankrupt the state. .
In a statement recently issued, p. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of education, says
More money is spent every year for luxures
than is spent for education in three hundred
years"
To substantiate this statement Dr. Claxton
cites figures which show that in 1918 (the last
year complete figures are ayaable), the total
amount paid for public instruction. including
current expenditures for private and endowed
colleges and universities and all expenditures for
capital investment in buildings and equipment.
was less than $1OOO,OOO,OOO. According to gov
eminent returns for 1920, the people of the Unit
ed States spent for luxuries in that year $22-
7OO,OOOOOO, more than % times as much as they
spent for education only two years before.
Expenditures for luXuries in 1920 included
