COMMENDABLE DESIRE

A LITTLE girl sees doll, and in
- stantly there comes yearning
In her heart to clasp the doll to her
breast and call it her own.
She raises her delighted face to her
mother and stretches out her chubby
hands In pleadings that cannot be de-
MED.
A boy Graves knife, and he holds
to his wish until he gets it gratified.
Then he proceeds boy-fashion to nick
things, which he has been forbidden
to cut and finally gashes his finger.
AS the girl and the boy grow older
their desires undergo radical change.
With accumulated experience and
knowledge, they seek more substantial
possessions, good opinions, or par.
ticular place in the world where they
may become conspicuous and power
full.
And thus all through life their de-
sires grow assume new forms, urge
them forward or backward, mold their
character for good or evil and shape
their destiny
The desire to do good Is the most
ennobling thought man or woman car
possibly have.
1t is the only desire that does not
warp the soul with selfishness or de.
stroy faith.
To build up images and to yearn
for things which can be of no perma.
nent use to us or to our fellow beings
is but waste of energy which ought
to be put to better use.
President Harding longs to bring
peace to the world
Doctors and nurses desire to heal

lake BeckIey Tries
Hidden-BalI Trick

When eagle Eye" Jake Beck
ley was playing first base for the
Cincinnati Reds he often pulled
funny stunts during the games,
and fans got so they looked for
them.
One game he decided to work
the hidden-ball trick on a runner
who had reached the base. In
stead Of concealing the sphere
under his arm, in the usual fash
ion, he quietly tucked 1t under
one corner of the sack while the
opponent wasn't looking.
The runner. seeing Jake
stretch himself and not observ-
ing the ball, took slight lead Off
first. Beckley sank to his knees
to get the ball, and the runner,
noticing he was trapped, hot
footed it for second base.
Jake had forgotten under
which corner he had concealed
the ball, and fumbled desperate
ly while the runner slid safely
into second. 1t took the crowd
a long time to forget that Incl
dent. =

pull the opposite play to the one sug-
gested by Jennings.
Some years ago, when managing the
Detroit club, Hughey had an outfield-
er In the lineup by the name of Perry.
If there was one thing that Perry
could do it was hit the ball. He would
almost cry when he was ordered to
lay down a bunt. He was strong for
taking healthy swing.
A manager sends a batter up to
bunt, but often adds that if the infield-
ers keep creeping in on him to nullify
the play-cross them up by swinging.
Such were the instructions Jennings
issued to Perry one day, with runners
on first and second, no one out and
two runs needed to win. The opposing
infield, knowing how Perry hated to
bunt, played their natural position. All
that Perry did was hit the first ball
pitched over the right fielder's head
for a home run, breaking up the ball
game.
That hit won the game but Jennings
was fighting mad because Perry had
tulheu his iholi uelioho " puht lnlo
home run.
Didn't I send you up there to
bunt?" said Jennings, as Perry reached
the bench.
Eyes. But didn't you also say, if
they were creeping in on me, to switch
and take a swing, thereby crossing
them up?"
"Sure, but who was creeping in on
you?'' asked Jennings.
"Why, that crazy right fielder" re-
piled Perry, in all seriousness.
Jennings subsidized.

The little boy growing up in a good

1t would, we believe, be mistake to
destroy the ideals Of childhood. We
ought to have ideals at some stage Of
our existence, and childhood is about
the only time when they are not likely
to be shattered
But when you start out to fight the
world for your living, the sooner you
realize that you must at times meet
with injustice and unfair dealing, the
less likely you will be to cry out tnat

be prepared for different kind of
treatment from them, and don't whine
If you receive it.
Be alert to read character. Pick out
honest and straightforward men to

Be on your guard against cheats,
and men who would exploit you. They
are always inferior in intelligence to
men who do business honestly, and

BRITISH GOLF BILL is BIG
enthusiast Figures That 10000, 900
Balls Are Used Every Year
Club Fees Heavy.

A British golf enthusiast with a
mathematical turn Of mind has taken
the trouble to figure out just how
much money is spent annually on the
royal game In the British Isles. He
figures that 20,OOO,OOO golf balls are
used every year; that the total mem
bership Of clubs is half million,
which takes no account Of the casual
and unattached players. They spend
about 100000 annually for their
golf balls, nearly 100000 In club
fees and subscriptions. f3.12oOOO In
travelling expenses and f2,0OO,OOO for
refreshments. This leaves the total
British golf bill f16,0OO.0OO annually.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
mississippi
THOUGH every school chilli

THOUGH every school child
= knows that Mississippi means
"The Father of Waters" the
fact that the word was original
ly spelled "Meehe Sepe" is ap-
parent only from a study Of
the Indian source. And even
this is only an approximation
Of the way the phrase should
be written, for the Algonquins
had no written language which
could be transplanted literally
into English letters.
The first form in which we
find the name of the river is
"Miche Sepe," suggested by Ton
ii and slightly closer to the
present spelling. Father Laval
still further modernized 1t into
Michispi, which another priest,
Father Labatt, softened into
Misisipi. Since then, the only
changes have been to overload
the word with consonants. Mar
quette added the first IS" and
some other explorer the second,
making it "Mississipi"-the form
in which it is used in France to
this day, with only one "p." The
man who added the other has
never been discovered, but he
must have been an American
for, at the time of Louisiana
Purchase, the name was gen.
orally spelled in the colony
with a single "p."

THE SQUARE DEAL

been trying to establish the square
deal on the face Of this earth.
The Golden Rule is older than the

COnfucius.
Up to the last reports, none or these
efforts had altogether succeeded.
There is still cheating and lying and

And the sore toe tied with yarn;
For the "mumblepeg" and the Dos

In the shade Of the moss-grown barn.

Or back burned red by the sun;
For the old-time zest for my couch
of rest

l long for the days Of the "sight un-
seen,"
And the peg tops spun with Irvine;
For my old-time place down at second
AS one Of the village "Nine."
I even yearn for the finger bunged
Or the thumb with a ragged split;
Or the old-time lump on my bullying
brow
That showed where the baseball hit.

And the swish" of the old fish-line;
For the GROCERIES," "aggies,' "glas-
sizes" and
The 'nealies" that once were mine.
l even yearn for the blistered hands
That came from the old grub hoe;
For the appetite that came with night
In the days of long ago.
I long for the days that are long, long
dead.
When my heart was free from care;
For the sunny hours when my boyisi9
Was as light as the summer air.
But, thank the Lord, I am living yet,
And / thank Him, too, that /
Can sit at ease when the day is done
And dream of the days gone by.

Mayor Grave Has Time of His Life
Nowadays Keeping Working
Force of City Dads.
THREE NEW ALDERMEN
IN FORTNIGHT

Old General Unrest is not limited
in his field of activities to England,
Ireland Turkey, Michigan, Minnesota,
North Dakota or Sheridan county, but
it seems that he had to come to Plen-
tywood and bust up things here where
they have run so smoothly ever since
Plentywood was anything but bunch
of brush on the Big Muddy flats. For
the past six months there has been
nothing but turmoil in the chambers
of the city dads-frst over sewer ex-
tension, then over members of coun-
Gil holding office illegally, then econo-
my, then over having two policemen
when one is more than plenty, and
now it seems that there is an argu-
ment going on in reference to the poll
cy of combining the police department
and the water department under one
head and thus economizing, etc, etc.
At any rate there is trouble in Mayor
Graves camp and a fortnight ago,
Alderman Louis Helm resigned, be-
cause he was both alderman and chief
of the fire department and somebody
decided that a man could not legally
hold both jobs. Immediately follow
ing the appointment Of Louis Moe to
fill the vacancy, Len Rue served no
tice of his intention to resign and did
the next meeting when Fred Ibsen
was appointed to take his place and
then Alderman L. J. Onstad gave
notice Of his intention to resign, when
it was discovered that Fred Ibsen was
not qualified because he had not re-
sided in the ward for year prior to
his appointment, and there the matter
stands at this writing. There are two
vacancies to be filled on the Council
and anyone wanting the job can apply
to the mayor.
