He Is Not Great Who Scorns Life's
Little Things. =

He is not great who scorns life's little
things.
The humble tasks which make the
common day
Brighter, small courtesies along the
way,
A kindly smile, a CHEEKY word that
springs
Up from the heart. and with Its COM
ing brings
Something Of happiness, as might a
ray
or sunlight shining on storm tossed
bay,
Or the faint echo OF a voice that sings
lie is not great who scorns the little
things.
However large the tasks which he
may do,
If to simplicity he be untrue,
Though he should win the Haunting
flag of fame,
And though he should ascend to sit with
kings
He has won nothing save an empty
name.

Can All Be vaini

From the Kansas CITY Times.
Tell me not mournfully
All things are vain.
All that man strives to be,
Strives to attain,
All that his might has won,
All that his toll has done,
Permancnce hath II none.
All Is but vain.
Tell me not LONELINESS
Soon fades away;
It's but an idle dress
or idle clay"
Tell me not with n sigh
Lilies and roses die,
That The gay butterfly
Lives but day.
Surely full well I know
Roses win die;
Swift as the wind doth blow
withered they lie.
Perish all earthly must,
Crumble and fall To dust,
Prey OF the moth and rust.
Even SO i.
But God Himself did give
Men might and brain
To labor while they live.
Strive and attain;
God made the lovely rose
Which by the wayside grows
40 cheer man In his woes.
Can they be vain?

WOman's Death Dream
Comes True Saturday
John E. Griffith, Jr., Well Known Here,
Meets Death in Motor Accident
as FOretOld in Dream.

A death dream came true Saturday,
when John E. Griffith, Jr., a promin-
ent Lake Forest realty dealer and
man well known in Kenosha, because
OF frequent visits here, was killed in
an automobile accident. The dream
forecasting the tragedy was dreamed
by Mrs. Jason Frye also of Lake For
est on Tuesday. In it she saw an auto
mobile plunge through the fence and
carry Mr.. Griffith to his death.
She told him of the dream the fol-
lowing day and he laughed. 81 don't
believe in Dreams" he said.
Early Saturday Mr.. Griffith and
Robert Scholz, also of Lake Forest,
started driving home from the automo-
bile show. Near Fl. Sheridan, with
Griffith at the wheel, the steering
gear became unmanagable. The ma
chine lunged through a fence. Mr..
Griffith was thrown forward and a
dash lamp pierced his head. The
other man was unhurt. The latter
vainy endeavored to staunch the flow
of blood and then ran to the fort for
medical aid. When he returned, his
companion was dead. ..,....as
The deceased had been a classmate
at Lake Forest University of Alvin T.
Hansen of Kenosha and he had been a
frequent visitor at the latter's home
here.

SCHOOL WORTH
SO EVERY DAY
Statistics Show School
Boys Increase Earning
Power Greatly -. s
EVEN MORE NOW

"You may not be able to deposit
nine dollars in a bank account for
each of your children for five days of
each week but you can do something
that will be of more benefit TO them,
you can keep them in school. Each
day in school is worth nine dollars to
the child. Here is the proof based
on the wage scale of 1918.
Uneducated laborers earned on an
average of $500 per year for forty
years, total of $4,000. High school
graduates earned on an average of
$1,000 per year for forty years or
$4,000. This high school education
required twelve years in school, of $50
days each, or 2,160 days. These 2,16O
days in school added $4,000 to life
income or 1925 for each day spent in
school.
Loses Money Out of School.
So the child that stays out of school
for the purpose of earning less than
1925 per day is losing money, not
result of Investigations made under
direction of the United States Blu
reau of Education.
"Supt. B. B. Jackson of Minneapolis
studied the earnings of 3,945 pupils
who left school at the end of the
eighth grade and found that they
started life with an average salary of
$240 a year. A similar study of 912
high school graduates showed that
they started out with an average SAL
airy of 5000 and after six years were
earning an average of $3.50.
Education Equals $4,000 Investment.
"a committee of the Brooklyn
Teachers association in 1920, investi-
gated the salaries earned by gradu-
ates of the elementary schools. They
were able to trace 1866 till they were
thirty years of age. The average in
come of these boys was $1,253.O5,
whereas the average salary Of the IL
literate worker in Brooklyn was $500
per year. This difference Of $753
the income of an investment
of $4,000. So the days spent in the
elementary schools were worth cap
ital investment of $4,000 to each Of
these boys"

half in arrest of judgment, and, in the
alternative, for a new trial, both of
which were denied, because the court
entertains no doubt of the suficiency
of the evidence to support the verdict
or of the regularity of the trial, and
no doubt Of your guilt as charged and
found by the jury.

corning your official misconduct and
malfeasance in office in sentencing you
upon four counts of another indict-
ment, for receiving brides for the pur-
pose of corruptly influencing and af-
fecting your official conduct as sheriff
of Kenosha county. do not care to
add to what l said in connection with
this case. I do not undertake to ex-
press any opinion as to which Of your
crimes is the greater, the receiving
of brides, or the giving of brides. It is
not necessary to decide. Both are
heinous.
Probably the whole course of cor
ruption recently exposed in this court
was pursuant to a common plan and
commonly understood corrupt pur-
pose of all concerned.
That the payments to Fisher were
made by your deputy sheriff does not
mitigate your offenses, for it salts
factorily appears that the same were
made with your knowledge and sane
ton, if not by your expressed direction,
