THE GRUMBLING HABIT

Speaking about the "Grumbling
Habit" and if its effects we find that
T. not only affects the grumbler but
all those around him. The grumbling
habit may be classed with the cigar
cite habit, as one Of the worst and
hardest to break.
It is said hat a barking dog occas-
ionally bites at the dust. Well, what
Goes a grumbling fool bite at? Any
way, what's the good of grumbling?
WI at are you grumbling about? Your
/ istory lesson? Get to work and study
instead of grumbling and you'll feel
rluch better. Maybe you think that
the teachers are just picking on you
or maybe the boss got sore but what's
I le use OF kicking? 1t doesn't hurt
ITEM and it makes YOU blue. so
look at the bright side of life and the
rest will take care of itself.
r we don't live to make this world
bri Inter for one another, then, what
do we live for? We can't make II
brighter by standing around grumb-
ling. Smile,-that's the idea and soon
t,lat smile will spread and will all be
taI by. Life is not so short but there
Is aways time to be cheerful.
Grumbling people exercise a de-
c .essing influence owe heir associates.
They have a negative, fiabby' spirit

u~ratively, much as wet shoe does upon
n who is compelled to wear II. They
draw upon the strength and
exhaust the patience of those in their
company.
Grumblers are disliked everywhere
and especially in high school and coll
leges. Now is the time, if ever, to re-
form. The great thing in this world
is not so much where you stayed but
in the direction in which you are
moving. Move toward the brighter
side of life. The only way to have a
friend is to be one and you can't be
one unless you stop grumbling.
What ever be your task, smile! And
you'll soon cure yourself of the habit.
A smile is a sur cure and that's what
you want. No matter who you are
or what nationality you are, you can
all smile. A smile is the same in all
languages. Here's an example from
A BUTTERFLY
That on a rough, hard rock
Happy can lie;
Friendless and all alone
On this ~unsweetened stone.
Now let thy bed be hard,
No care take you;
But make your JOY like this
Small butterfly;
Whose happy heart has power
To make a stone a flower.

Methodist Church Scores
Big Success With Pageant
"The Dawning" Portrays the Story of
Crucifixion and Resurrection in
Vivid Manner

Perhaps the most prtentious eff
fort made by any of the Sank Centre
churches was the production at the
Methodist church Sunday evening of
an interesting drama story of the
crucifixion and resurrection of the
Savior of the world. 1.-THE Dawning'
is a pageant which realistically pro-
trays this historical event. Between
45 and so people took part, and it is
not saying too much that each one ac-
quilted him or herself with distinct
credit.
Rev. and Mrs. Wyand and Miss
Maude Davis were responsible for the
success of the production in no small
degree, as the training of the par
Elephants was under their direction.
The scenic effect made it possible
for one to visualize the scenes in and
near jerusalem as they existed at the
time of the crucifixion. An audience
that completely overlooked the large
church auditorium, making standing
room a premium, enjoyed the pageant.

Burglars Pull Off Crude
Job at Westport Tuesday
Small Amount of Loot Secured in
Gingery Hardware Store, Butcher
Shop and Pool Hall

The little village of Westport is
taking on metropolitan airs, as three
of the places of business of the town
have been burglarized.
Sometime during Tuesday night
burglars jin1mied their way into e..
C. Gingery's hardware store, the
butcher shop and pool hall at West
port, but the net gain to them was
very small. Mr. Gingery places his
loss at about two dollars.
The register in the Gingery store
was forced open, but there was only
some small change and checks, the
currency having been removed by the
owner. The checks were piled IN
neat pile on the counter, no effort
being made to destroy them. They
also purloined large screvdrlver
and the store hammer. The Herald
understands they secured even less
at the other two places than in the
hardware store. The work was evi-
IDENTIFY that of amateurs and it is
barely possible that the job may have
been done by local talent.

UNDERMINING STORE

The Bishop Co., have installed
Measuregraph which will go long
ways toward simplifying the bust
ness methods in the dry goods de
partment of this wide-awake store.
The appliance not only instantly and
correctly measures goods but it also
computes the selling price, whether
for full yard or fraction. The
measuring and price dial are in plain
sight of the customer so that they
may see that they are getting exact
ly the amount Of goods they order
for which they will pay absolutely the
correct price. The Measuregraph will
protect both Bishop Co. and the Gus
toner.
