Arbor Day, April 14th, was observ-
ed in very happy manner for the
public school of Montour The day

of all obstacles goodly number of

KNOCKERS AND BOOSTERS

IN the beginning the Creator
made all the good creatures in
the world, the spirit Of evil
brooded nightly, and he intro
iuced into the mind and heart
of men the seed of jealousy and
i'll will. When the evil work
has become manifest in many
deeds by man against each other
the devil gathered all the worst
thoughts of all men, caused
them to take shape, clothed
them with suspicion, shod man
with envy, gave him yellow
stream for a backbone, and
christened him "A Knocker."
The product was fearful to
contemplate, so the All-wise
Creator decided to make some
thing to counteract it; so he
took a sunbeam the heart of a
child, the sense of beauty in
flowers, fields and the great
outdoors, formed them into
shape of an upright man, grid
ed him with equality and JUS
tice, armed him with mercy,
righteousness and good will and
named him "A Booster"
Ever since these two were
created, man has had the privi-
lege of choosing his own asso-
ciates.

IT ALWAYS HAS

VOU have no doubt already
L heard the story about the
lonesome travelling man who
made a trip down through the
southern states during the
rainy months of the year.
Having driven through rain
storms for three weeks he
reached the point where he was
sure the sun never would shine.
Finally in his Encouragement
he appealed to one of the ma
tives he passed on a road hub
deep with mud.
as it ever going to clear up
here? 2"
After several moments medi-
tation and expectorating large
quantities of tobacco juice the
native replied, "well, it always
has,"
And in the midst of general
business depression which has
lasted for an unusual length Of
time, are not lots of people feel
ing like the discouraged North
erner, and can't we just as
easily look forward with the
feeling that it always has clear
up? We are beginning to see
the sun shining through the
clouds of despair now, and it
won't be long until the optimist
will see his happiest prediction
come true and every industry
enjoying good steady business.
Remember this, at always
has cleared up.
