Things and Other Things.

The world is not so bad after all. :.
Sometimes we think it is when the
real cause is the state OF our own
mind. Our mind becomes diseased
and we see things out of joint. There
is really nothing the matter with
conditions in general. And If things
are out of joint and need mending.
then the thing for us to do is to get
busy and remedy them. The patri

things and brings about better con-
ditions. by doing his best to improve
them. We have a compulsory school
law in Tennessee. and it does seem
strange that the school board has to
employ an officer to make some peo-

and as a rule the very people who
have to be made to send their child.

Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge you attend;
Boost the street on which you're
dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling
Boost the people around about you,
They can get along without you;
But success will quickly find them
If they know that you're behind
them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement;
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neigh

Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be progress blocker;
Boosting helps US all to ascend

In Memory Of An Excellent Citizen
Mr.. ,yames Guard.


Death has again laid his hand on
one of the noble citizens of Garrett
county, Mr.. James Guard, who was
called to his final reward on Monday
morning, October Both, at an age Of
nearly seventy-fOur years. His health
had been declining during the several
months preceding his death, but he
was confined to his bed but a few
days prior thereto. His burial took
place on Wednesday afternoon.
November LIST, and was conducted by
his pastor, Rev. L. Richcreek, assisted
by Rev. Dean, of Confluence, Pa. AT
ter a short service at his late resi-
dence his body was born to its last
resting place by his six surviving
brothers. 1t was an impressive sight
to the writer to see these six brothers
with heads barred and all silvery white
carry their deceased loved one toward
the city of the dead. The final services
were conducted in the Mercy chapel
After a very appropriate discourse,
his body was laid away in the Mercy
Chapel cemetery by Undertaken Rush
barger, of Addison, Pa. The beautiful
manner in which the members of the
family paid their last tribute of re-
spect and love TO their departed faith
er and brother showed the hallowed
feelings they held for him. The flo
raj tributes were many and beautiful,
some being sent by friends from Get
tysburg, Pa. Those who are left to
mourn their great loss are the
wife, one son, Dorsey Guard, and an
other son, George, by adoption, the
six brothers and five grandchildren.
Mr. Guard, early in life, united with
the Southern NJ. Z. church, in which
he remained a faithful and consistent
member, serving as Sunday school
superintendent a great part of his
life. He was the pillar of the church
in his home congregation. He was a
devoted worker and liberal contributor
toward the needs of his church, pos
sessing those qualities that go to
make up a strong Christian charac-
ter. His influence for good stood out
prominently during his entire life and
the community was benefited thereby.
His advice and counsel was sought
by many citizens. BY occupation he
was farmer and hard working man.
The large gathering at his funeral of
his relatives, friends and neighbors
attested the true expression of the
esteem in which he was held by the
public in this community. He was
a friend to all. The writer visited him
the day prior to his death. He was
very weak, but could speak at times.
He bore his sufferings very patiently;
he was only waiting for the Lord to
summon him home. He had no dread
CT meeting his blessed Redeemer, and
could the expression on his counte-
nance been Transcribed into language
| feel sure it would have been in har-
mony with the great APOSTLE Paul,
Il have fought a good fight, l have
finished my course, | have kept the
faith, henceforth there is laid up a
crown of righteousness for me in
heaven"
Dear Father, in earth's thorny paths,
How long thy feet have trod,
To find at last this peaceful rest
Safe in the arms of God.
By a Friend.

The Oakland A. A. basket ball quint
added another win to their string here
on Tuesday night, when they defeated
the famous Altoona Overland Club of
Altoona, Pa, by the score Of 1920.
The game was very fast and interest
ing, notwithstanding the one-sided
score, the Altoona team putting up a
clean, snappy game all the way thru.
but being somewhat out of luck in
their tries for baskets, due in a large
part to the close guarding Of Bolden
and Bob Scott. Walter Hoyt was in
top form, leading the local attack by
caging nine field goals and two fouls,
besides being all over the floor wher-
ever his presence was needed. Rice
also put up a nice game, dropping six
nice shots through the net, and Sincell
and Bolden succeeded in getting two
each. The pass work of both teams
was fast and accurate, that of the
visitors being especially fine. Hoyt
used his entire squad in the game, Civ
ing all the local boys chance to show
their metal substituting Funk for r.
Scott, Chance for Bolden and Sincell
for +. Scott. The locals feel Justly
proud Of the victory over the Altoona
Five, the latter being one of the few
teams to win here the last two sea-
sons. and from now on expect to make
a better record than ever. Linup and

OAKLAND A. A. VICT0RS
INTWO GAMES PAST WEEK
Won Over Cumberland x. O. G..
And Alt0hna Overlands.,

The X. O. G. quint, Of Cumberland,
one Of the fastest teams in this sec
ton, made its initial appearance Of
the season on the Oakland court last
Friday evening and lost a very in
teresting and exciting game to Walter
HOyt and his hUSkies. The game Op-
oned with both teams running neck
and neck, the visitors leading by a
point or two at one period, and the
score tied little later. At the end
Of the first quarter Oakland took the
lead, 17-15, and held it to the end of
the game, the visitors being able to
score but two points in the second
half, so close were their forwards
guarded by Bolden, Scott and Funk
The final score was 29-17 in favor Of
the locals.
Hoyt, Rice and Bolden led in the
scoring for Oakland, the first two
named caging four nice shots and the
latter three. Hoyt also dropped five
shots through the basket on fouls.
The work Of the visitors was eXcep-
tionally good, considering the fact
that it was their first game and no
doubt they will be heard from favora-
bly, as the season progresses. Oak
lands pass work and goal shooting
and general team play showed marked
improvement and the boys are fast
getting ready to tackle the best teams

Tariff Duties to be Based OF
Foreign Values.

Washington, September 9.-An
agreement on the valuation and
flexible tariff provisions of the
Republican tariff bill was report
ed today to have been reached
by the Senate and llouuse Re-
publican conferees under which
tho principal provisions OF the
Senate would be retained with
their basis OF foreign instead OF
American valuation for calculat-
ing duties.
The valuation agreement was
said to be IL compromise With the
House managers yielding the
larger part of the American val
uation plan as carried in the
House bill. The basic plan in the
bill, it was said, would be an
adoption of the Senate plan for
assessment Of duties upon for
eign valuation.

Long in the senatorial primary
to lay aside personal grievances
and work for the election of SEN

speech late today Of Henry L.

chairman Of the Democratic plat

Mr.. Jost devoted much Of his
speech to an attempt to- convince
the rural Democrats that the city

pictured by certain city news
papers.
"An insidious propaganda has
>been going on for fifteen years
to line up the country against

menting on the absence OF real
Democratic newspapers in the
state.
Before touching on suggested
planks for the party platform,
Jost extolled Woodrow Wilson,
bringing an ovation from large
sections of the spectators and the
women present.
Reference to Reed as the ola
lion of Democracy with all his
iauiis' brought cheers from t.e
Reed enthusiasts. .Jost's prals sc
