occurred the marriage of Joseph Ev-
erctt Blaisdell and Miss Mildred Mar
guerite Davenport. both of Sidney. The
place chosen for this ceremony was
the charming glen behind the school

SPEAKING Of Success

The man who climbs a mountain
has only half done his task. No mat
ter how great an effort 1t has been
for him to reach the coveted summit,
no matter how many altitude records
he has established in so doing, he is
not done. When the cheering and
tumult subsidies. hen the news eve
of the world has turned its greedy
glance elsewhere, he has vet more to
do. He must get himself back to
normal level again. And so 1t Is
with all kinds OF success as expressed
in achievement. The real measure of
success Is what follows. 1t Is waste
Of good energy to strive so hard for
a thing only to fail with its attain
ment. Success does you little good
II you are united to endure It. To
spend every reasonable effort in
striving. for success Is most COM
fnehdable. but it's not enough. Real
success Is lasting success. The way
to make 1t SO Is to be ready for it
when 1t comes. There Is plenty of
room at the top, not SO much because
so few people succeed, but because
80 pftifully few succeed in succeed

Among the wild flowers were many
of the golden rods and asters, Nova

specimen of galinsoga parvifiora

The most desirable finish for the

by three small sizes Of plate

table surface, IL by IS inches. In
addition to providing an ideal sur.
face, it will insulate the cretonne
from settling dust and the stain of

of wear. In case a glass cover is
not used, a pleasing padded effect
may be produced by placing sew
eral layers Of cheesecloth beneath
the cretonne on the top. A plate
glass mirror to hang above the
table is, Of course, essential. It's
dimensions should be 1s by 4S

Before the cretonne is tackled in
place, the table, cabinet drawers

at least two coats of paint. The
hue selected would be determined
by the color Of the cretonne and
the color scheme Of the room. Tall,
tapering candles provide the finish.

quires that each shall save and in.

Every month each employee must
make a report to the general ONCE

what he has invested 1t. The in.

have been incurred these must be
listed and payments may be ar
ranged on them, but no more are to
be assumed. The idea Is to make
the employee live within his means
and also lay aside something In q
definite form.
Reports for the first nine months
show that about IS per cent Of the
wages have been saved. NO single
employee falling below 10 per cent.
This amounts to over 100000. Fall
