Tough Slough

Many words of our English have the
same spelling in the last syllable and
vet are pronounced very differently,
and are therefore very puzzling to a
foreigner. For example: Mary went
out doors with a pan of sour dough
for the pigs in their pen down by the
slough. As she poured it into the
trough she heard the wind sough
through the trees and she knew it
would be rough night. Coming back
to the house she hit her head against
a Dough, and fell, spraining her ankle
She was in the Slough of Despond
and felt that it was tough to have 10
lie there while a neighbor left his
plough and came to her help, though
it might have been worse. She
caught a cold that ended in bad
cough, and took much medicine be-
fore she got thorough relief and was
well again.

THE HERDS OF BASEBALL
The Game is Life of Ups and
Downs.

A man does not have to be play.
er in a big varsity nine or one OF
the stars of the major leagues, to be
hero in the eyes of his audience
The slick throwers of semi-profes-
sional leagues, the sturdy mechanics
who play in the shop mines, the will
lowy boys who represent the high
schools, also occupy exalted positions
in the view of the sporting element
The boys surround the automobile
that carries the players to the
grounds and gaze with open mouths
at these notable personages. Bust
ness men are glad to be seen speak
ing to them and feel honored by
their recognition. The girls offer
them their sweetest smiles, and are
very accessible to their attention.
Dressed in their ordinary clothes,
the ball players may not appear like
fellows of special distinction. If
it were not for their ability at the
favorite national game, they would
be as like the ordinary bunch of
male flappers as peas in a pod. But
occupying the position they have
gained through the trick of athletic
skill, they are always public char
acters of large importance. Their
methods and habits of play are more
discussed than the problems before
Congress.
But they have to pay price for
this greatness. The fans that cheer
them on are a most tickle crowd. For
lust one error, the bleachers will yell
for them to be taken off the field, and
may reduce them to such state
of nervousness that they lose the
game.
The fellow who himself could not
hold place in a grammer school
team, will expect the player to eXem-
plify major league ball. If in half
of a second ne fails to size up a
situation existing in basebalPs swift
kaleidoscope, he is called bone
head, and the bleachers want him
yanked off the field. 1t is a life OF
ups and downs. But it must teach
a level headed fellow that human
praise and blame are both very sup
CRITICAL things, and often bestowed
without regard to merit.

Tuyyryr puwv runrrT1ToRs
This Spirit Has Led to Lot of Jeal-
ousy and Upleasant Feeling.

A good many business people feel
it, necessary in meeting competition
to run down the goods and service
offered by their rivals. This spirit
has led to lot of jealousy and I'M
pleasant feelings.
One man would hear some critic
ism or attack that competitor had
made on his goods or methods.
Statements of that kind leave a sore
spot behind. Pretty soon the men
who make them will not speak to
each other on the street. Then when
some one asks them to take hold
, and work together for a community
movement, they dislike to have any
thing to do with persons who feel
are personal enemies. That breaks
up the unity of town, and has been
the principal reason why many towns
have failed to make gains.
A business man or salesman ought
to be careful to be fair in speaking
of competing lines of stuff. He
should talk just as he would if his
competitor were present. If his rival
gets out good stuff, this should be
freely acknowledged. TEen having
shown himself fair, can go on to
speak Of the strong points of his
own line.
The people who say disparaging
or harsh things about competitors
give themselves away, as they indi-
cate that they are bothered and har-
assed by this compe ition, and feel
themselves scarcely able to meet it.
People consider that such remarks
are inspired by self interest, they
do not attach weight to them, and
they regard them as the spiteful
feeling of a man who is getting beat
en- in a race.
To get the right kind Of unity in
a town, the business people must cul-
tivate such a feeling Of friendliness
that they would not desire to say
anything unpleasant. The business
men of this city have mostly at
tanned that point of view, and their
mutual loyalty is a tremendous force
for commercial and civic progress.

PETTY STEALING
Loose Idea of Property Rights Enter.
tanned by Many Youths.

A lady who lives in a pleasant
neighborhood in another city was
telling the other day of the loose idea
of property rights entertained by
many children in her town. She has
flower beds closely adjoining her
house, and the children come right
into the yard and pick and carry off
flowers from those beds.
Her place is fenced in, and there
is a gate closed by latch which
well brought up children ought to
consider a notice to keep out. But
they do not mind any such little
thing as that.
The loss of these flowers is of
course trifling, but such condition
indicates that a lot of children are
coming up with loose ideas about
stealing.
A boy or girl who forms the habit
of this petty thieving, gets loose
ideas about other peoples property
and sometimes is tempted to go on
to more serious deeds and real crime.
The stealing of fruit and flowers in
dicates a great thoughtlessness.
Children ought to realize that owners
have put lot of time and some
money into developing home gardens,
and are entitled to the fruit of the
same.
The parents of such children would
probably not justify their doings.
They would make lightsof ahem, and
say that boys will be boys, and that
children always have stolen fruit and
flowers and always will. But that
is not so. There are lot of care
full parents who take pains to in
struct their children in the idea that
they must respect the rights of
others, and most Of these children do
so.
1t is unjust to children to let them
form these habits Of petty dishon-
esty. When they grow up it makes
them INSCRIPTIONS, and soon people
become suspicious of them and re-
fuse to trust them or give them res
ponsibe work to do. You can't vio-
late the fundamental laws of life
without paying some penalty. A lit
tie serious talk to such children, max
ing them see the injustice and UNI
fairness Of petty thieving would
change their point Of view.

Awarded New Paving Contract

The city council has awarded the
contract for paving about fifty blocks
in various parts of the city to the
firm of Thos. Carey & Sons of Des
Moines. This is under a second let
ting of the work because of the re-
lection OF he previous specifications
by the State Highway Commission.
The reletting has proven very adj
.vantageous to the city by reason of
the cost being about $4,000 less to
the properly owners, and the entire
deal IS considered a better one
throughout.
The same type as chosen before,
asphaltic concrete, was decided upon,
which consists of a. 5 inch base of
concrete and two inches of asphalt
top. Where the state is concerned
the base will be six inches of con-
crete. There will be "a inches of
curb and gutter to cost SS cents per
lineal foot. The cost of the inch
base will be S2.41 per square yard
and the 6 inch base will cost 1921.
The entire contract amounts to
S134 ,09S.49, which is over $4,000
less than the, contract price of the
previous letting. Messrs. Carey &
Sons bid was $4,000 under the next
lowest bid for the type of paving de-
cided upon. The previous bidders, a
Sioux City firm, did not compete for
he job this time. There were six
bidders. The Cary firm are the con-
tractors who have recently secured
the big road grading contracts in this
county. They will commence the paw
ing work just as soon as the approval
Of the State Highway Commission is
received. Democrat.
