THE RIVER OF LIFE

A wonderful stream is the river OF
life. A slender thread emerging from
the mysterious realms of birth, it
laughs and dances through the won
derland Of childhood Its broadening
currents sweep between the flower
decked banks of youth, romance and
hope. A mighty torrent it PUSHES
over the rapids of manhood and breaks
in foam upon the rocks Of opposition
and defeat. Then glides away across
the barren, sterile fields of age, un-
til it is engulfed and lost within the
waters of the eternal sea. The queen
ly robes, the foul beggars rags, the
rich mans gold, the pauper's copper
pence, the jeweled diadem of princes
and the thorny crowns of martyrs are
washed and swept by the same cease
less tides. The miracle of birth and
the mystery of death remain the un-
solved problems of all the time. The
Shepherd who 5000 years ago up on
The plains Of Syria observed the pro-
,ession of the planets and contem-
plated the DEGREES of fate was as
wise perhaps es is the wisest Of to-
lay. He only knew that standing here

LOCAL FOOTBALL MEN
Must Be Ordered, However,
Before Saturday Evening
OF This Week

Since the suggestion was made of
sending the local high school football
team to the opening OF the Ohio State

pie have inquired as to whether it

"A telephone call to Columbus this

the secretary Of the Chamber OF Com
