TEN THOUSAND CLUB
ADD COMMITTEES
TO IT'S FORCE

Three new standing committees have
been added TO the Ten Thousand Club
committees this year, each for the pur-
pose Of service to others.
Ms W. H. Lavavea, Mrs o, G.
Horne and Mrs. Lee Sargent make up
a committee on community service and
motion pictures, the object of which
win be'to cooperate i'll every movement
for the betterment of the civic life of
III Centre and to help raise the stand
ards of motion pictures. Mrs. Glass
ford, the president, realizes that the
moving picture shows are great edu-
cational forces in the community and
that their influence may reach into the
lives of countless of our citizenry either
with good or evil effect. To the i'm
provement of this educational factor
in modern life, elubwomen everywhere
are lending their Influence, patronizing
the best and refusing to attend when
questionable or suggestive pictures are
10 be shown.
Club leaders believe that the women
making up the great federation can be
potent factor in raising standards If
they go at it in the right spirit and
with full determination.
Mrs. Frank Morgans, Mrs. Burrett s.
Allen, Mrs. Lorraine Seers, Mrs. Percie
Thacker, Mrs. l.. L. Foster and Mrs
r. Pope compose the Americanization
committee, which will work for higher
standards of patriotism, and seek to in
terest the foreigners in aims for citizen
ship worthy of America and her insti-
tutions. This work was started last
spring with classes in English among
the Mexicans, but will be greatly ex-
tended this winter by the larger com
mittee which will devote its energies in
this direction only. This work, too, is
in line with general federation club
work.
Cooperation with ex-service men Will
be promoted by Mrs R. B. Keplev and
Mrs. Norman +. Dupont. Everything
possible will be done by the club to
prove to the men who offered up their
lives in the world IS darkest hour, that
their sacrifice has not been forgotten.
The plan adopted by the general fed
Grafton is simple:
In every community from which
men went to war, committee of club
women are to dig out the service flag,
and, checking off its stars, find out
Just where and in what circumstances
every man whose star is on that flag
may be.
''These committees will look after
the disabled or others who, for any rea-
son, have not succeeded in rehabilitat-
ing themselves, and will cooperate with
The American Legion in whatsoever wa.y
is possible

convention held IN New York 1lIis 'sulli-

ARE YOU STILL A STUDENT.

IL your helpmeet Is better educated than
YOU are, II he or she is a thinker and you
are not. do not try to bring your pattner
down to your level, but try. instead, to
elevate yourself to his or her position.
Much Of the joys of married life Is lost
because the thoughts and ambitions of one
of the partners is so far different from the
other.
The one of high ideals who reads and
studies and thinks becomes peeved or per.
haps disgusted II the other cannot be inter.
ested in anything but the trivial or sordid
things of life, or shows no sign of desire
to improve.
The one likely feels that study is some
thing left behind when school days are
over, so why think long and hard when II
Is possible to jog along in an easy manner
without the effort involved In hard study.
The other may have a mind which can
only live by expanding and lack of sym.
pathy and a feeling Of aloneness in pursuit
OF higher and better knowledge and stand
ards may be torture, mentally.
II may be hard for you to study--to con-
centrate-but this fact should make you
all the more anxious to do II, because II n
is difficult for you to do II is proof that
YOU need brain exercise.
IT This should convince yod that YOU must
give yourself brain work or you will begin
TO fail just at the time when you should
be at your best.

An Elephant Goes Crazy.

TN Tacoma, Wash, a huge ele-
phant went on a rampage,
q went crazy, acted as recklessly
as the ordinary white drunkard
or the Malay running "amok. +"
The elephant tossed his keeper
thirty feet in the air, breaking
several ribs. Then he pulled up
three telephone poles-thought
they were trees, perhaps. He tried
to turn over a farmhouse, failed,
broke into a barn, ate all he could
hold, and a little la ter went back
to the circus with two elephants
sent to find him.
This takes you back to the
days of the mastodon. 1t will
seem queer in future for historians
to realize that elephants and
hooded cobras we're on the earth
with flying machines above them.
Changes come slowly and the old
remains after the new appears.

The Gospel
of Work

lTHE Reverend Daniel Ramsay,
| pastor of the Methodist
Church at Union Hill, N. j..
after thirty years in the ministry
found his income insufficient foI
the adequate support of his
family. He took, job in the
haberdashery depart m ent of
Macy's store, where he works
from $50 to 5, on six days of
the, week. On Sundays he goes
back to the pulpit. =
Whether this is good policy or
not, it is hardly the province of
this paper to discuss. The tradi-
tional idea is that a clergyman
should give his entire time to his
flock and leave the whole matter
of his temporal support to the
Lord and such sons of Martha as
may be present in his congrega-
ton.
The question as to whether this
is the best policy in twentieth cen
tury conditions is one which we
will leave the doctors of the
Church to discuss.
One interesting feature Of the
occurrence, however, is the state
ment which Mr.. Ramsay makes
upon the subject of work.
"The average human being
does not work hard enough" he
says. II find I can work here
all day, write sermons, study
and lecture in the evenings,
preach twice every Sunday and
then wake up on Monday morn
ing as fresh as a rose"
Whatever other bearings the
case may have, this creed of work
can hardly do harm. 1t is refresh
ing to find somebody who is en-
thusiastic about the pleasures of
labor.
From the general tone of labor
literature we get the impression
that work is a sort of calamity
and that the labor of the world is
performed by those unfortunate
creatures who are not clever
enough to sidestep it.
AS a matter of fact, work is the
: chief source of human joy, and
working people as rule are the
happiest in the world.
