LITTLE BILL" JOHNSTON
 WON'T RETIRE FROM GAME

New York. September William M. Johnston of San Francisco, twice national lawn tennis singles cham pion and Davis cup star, has set at rest reports that this will be his last season of active competition.
 Tt would be foolish for me to say positively that I shall be here next year to play for the champion-3 ship" said Johnston before depart ing for Philadelphia to play in the national title event. "but so far as I can determine of my plans for the future, I certainly expect to keep on playing tennis.
 Tt is my intention to stay in the game just as long as 1 can play it. There Is no reason why I should stop playing so long as I can do it reasonably we'll and look forward to several years more of activity"
 Johnston, in the opinion of ex- perts who watched him vanquish de- cisively Gerald l.. Patterson and James o. Anderson, the Australians in the Davis cup singles is in as good or better form than when he won his first national singles title in 1915 and his second in 1919.

Just Folks
THE LESSON OF THE CRATE
Copyright, l922 by Edgar A Guest.

It seemed an unimportant task,
Too trifling for chief to ask,
A little thing, nor could he see
The need to do it thoroughly;
He fancied none could tell
Whether he did it very we'll
Or sighted it, yet truth to say
On him depended much that day.
He was to nail wooden crate.
No chance in that for splendor great,
No chance to prove his gift of skill,
A thankless post was his to fill;
Well nailed or not, twould be the same,
The world would never learn his name
And yet that wooden crate was filled
With what had taken months to build.
He did not see or understand
Just what was passing meath his hand
That as that wooden crate was nailed
A plan succeeded or it failed;
That miles away men stood in wait
Depending on that simple crate,
For not wheel could turn or drive
Until it safely should arrive.
He drove his nails and let it go,
Thinking that none would ever know
Whose hand had held the hammer there
Or, knowing it, would ever care;
Yet in a few brief days there came
The news that burned his cheeks with shame;
Broken in shipment and we stay
Facing another months delay"
Vain is the skill of workmen great
Unless the boy who makes the crate
Shall give his best to driving nails
The work of all the others fails;
There is no unmportant task,
Whatever duty life may ask,
On it depends the greater plan
There is no unimportant man!
