That the Pleasantville five. who adj
ministered the first defeat to the
Ocean City Association team, are good
sportsmen is exemplified from the fact
that on Saturday, the 28th of Jenuary,
although having no game scheduled
with Ocean City, they came here pre-
pared to play in case Eddy Collard's
All-Scholastics from Germantown
wouldn't show up, due to the storm.
The only reason there wasn't a game
played that night was because the
lights failed. The Pleasantville five
were marooned here until the next
day.-Ocean City Sentinel.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

II we lived in a garden of flowers
and spent u time trying to make the
rose bush Ngrow nothi at thorrfs;
encouragihssf the bugs an BEETLES to
eat up e%verythin' in sight till the
place was like a weed bed every
bOdy'd think we were crazy, wouldn't
they? But WI don't do that. We try
to forget the thorns. We spray an
turn up the ground, and we fertilize
the shivering little weak fellows that
look sickly, till we have something
fine an strong an sweet to look at
and enjoy. How is it we don't do
this in the garden of life? Why don't
we forget all about the thorns in the
cranks an good for nothin's" and
cultivate the glory of God that's in
everyone of them? What a fine world
we'd have if we only treated humans
like we treat potatoes.

Leeds Avenue in Need of a New
School.

School.
Editor ~Pleasantville Press:
AS there is to be a new school built
in the city, Leeds avenue should by
all means have that school. 1t is I'M
just for a number {of the children all
the way from California avenue and
back to New Road and all the way
down to Woodland avenue. to have to
go such a distance to school in all
kinds Of weather. We need from fifth
grade up to the eighth grade for our
children. 1t is a mistake to build only
for the present, as The city is growing
each day, and this is one part hat is
growing also. What we need is 10
build for the future. So why n give
Leeds avenue the benefit of a new
school? Surely we have to pay en-
ough tax to be entitled to something,
but it is little this part of the city
gets. With our children nearer home
we can take better care of them and
at the same time know what they are
doing. From $50 in the morning till
4 in the afternoon is a long time for
your children to be away and not
know what they are doing. We hope
to see something doing on Leeds ave-
nue. in the neal future, AS there has
TO be more school room, give it to us.

Il GOOD TURN
THAT BROUGHT
TO AMERICA

An American business man having
temporarily lost his bearings in a Lon
don fog paused on a street corner. A
newsy, seeing the gentleman's diem
ma, asked if he could be of n as
sistance. The gentleman accepted
the boys guidance to his hotel and
naturally offered the guide a substan-
tial tip. The boy drew himself up
with dignity and explained that he
was a Boy Scout and Boy Scouts did
not take pay for doing their good
turns. The ~gentleman's interest was
aroused to the extent that he sought
out Bader Powell, the founder of
Scouting and Chief of the British
Scouts Association, and learned what
this Scouting business really was.
When the business mar returned TO
America he interested others in the
Scout movement. The result was that
the Boy Scouts of America was in
corporated February 8, 1910.
On June Is, 1916, Congress granted
the organization a special Federal
Charter, among other things, giving
the Boy Scouts of America exclusive
right to the name and adaptions
thereof, insignia and uniform.

chairman, the work of raising the fund
throughout Wisconsin is going for
ward with zeal and enthusiasm, many
counties having already surpassed

Within another week or two it is
hoped that Marathon county will have
obtained the $3.50 assigned as its
quota
Among the interesting notes of the
national campaign, is the announce
ment that Will Hays, postmaster gen.
eral, leads the Republican contribu-
tors to the fund in Washington. In
most of the large centers Republican
leaders are contributing generously
to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
doing so in the same way as Demo-

welt Memorial The Woodrow Wilson
Foundation is not partisan institu-
tion and the award will be made. not
according TO party affliation, but ac-
cording to services that have been
rendered. Republicans as well as
Democrats have been elected ito tbs
executive committee.
There are already several hundred
subscribers in Marathon county, but

La thousand persons willing to give a

worthy undertaking.

members of the city or county commit
tees will gladly receive any contribu-
tions for which receipts will be given

ters and the modern composers which

The string body consists of quar-
tet and contrabass. The winds con-
sist of fiue, oboe, clarinet, bassoon
