CALENDAR OF YEARS

LIE WHO aspires to make his mark
should endeavor always to choose
the best investment for his time and
energy.
The golden hours of opportunity
soar swiftly away, and when night
hovers about us, we who are resolved
to rise above the common level, FREE
quently ask ourselves whether we have
improved or wasted the vanished day.
If we have stood on tip-toe, reached
up to the highest point to make an
imperishabfe mark, we seldom find
cause for self-reproval, though we
may not be wholly satisfied with our
well-meant accomplishments.
AS matter of truth. the man or
woman who is never fully contented
with past achievements. who ever
feels that he or she by exerting little
more effort might have gone stride
or two farther, is already marching
sure-footed toward the glorious
heights.
And this is so in every field Of
worthy endeavor, whether it be preach
ing or teaching. weaving or forging,
or making love.
AS fast as we progress, If we have

Something to Think About

By T. A WALkER

within us the determination TO keer
going, we find there is some splendid
treasure lying in our path designed
for us to pick up and store away for
future use.
By retaining this precious thing, to
which we prudently add others, we in
time acquire capabilities whose value
Is everywhere recognized.
The learning we get in this manner
gives us wisdom. The experience we
obtain from patient work, close OBJ
servation, civility and hard rubs,
teaches us how to apply our wisdom to
the best advantage.
Experience is as essential to
achievement as is wisdom.
On the other hand, those tickle and
frivolous humans who run one day
and shamble the next, never certain
Of their course, become VIGOROUSLY In
efficient, unable to avoid the dust In
the rear, while they shuttle along with
weary feet and broken hearts.
Every day you will see their visit
full, disappointed faces.
And If You listen, you will hear their
bitter words Of elf-condemnation rus
Ting along the walls Of their frowning
prison Of servitude, from which there
is no escape, except by the turn-back
of the calendar Of the years.

Thunder Brings out Worms.

''It is the thunder that causes so
many worms to be seen on the ground
after rain" says ]. w. Cannon of
Montgomery, Ala, in the Detroit
News. He explains: '"They leave the
ground on account of the vibration
caused by the thunder. They are never
seen except after an unusually hard
thunderstorm. The thunder does it !;
not the rain
''Down here, where we would rather
fish than eat, if you ask native about
getting his bait he will tell you that
he is going to fiddle 'em out or saw
'em out He drives stout piece of
plank down in the ground foot and
half or two feet deep al then takes
heavy piece of plank and draws it
across the top of the piece driven in
the ground for few minutes, causing
vibration of the ground, and all the
worms within a radius Of several feet
will come out in a hurry"

Pillow Lays Gable.

The pillow has been set to work lay
ing electric-light cables. A cast-steel
implement for deep blowing was
adapted for the purpose, and with a
small force of workers the pillow in
stalled 1,600 feet of single, lead-cov-
cred cable in one day.
1t was fitted with clamp to hold
the end of the cable, and a gasoline
engine. with drum, was hitehed to
the drawbar. The cable was pulled
along beneath the surface of the
ground by the plowshare, so that, as
the pillow proceeded the cable was laid
in the trench made.
Th company making the experiment
attained a still better record when the
plow was pulled by more powerful
gasoline engine. Application Of the
device is limited to use in city parks
or in suburban installations where
cable has to be strung across large
lawn. The outfit can be hauled any
where by small truck.

TN A MANS hours of relaxation he
needs human companionship. He
cannot play without somebody to play
with. And he needs play to develop
his intellect evenly as much as he
needs work.
Men who do not know how to play
are to be pitied. They grow dull and
morose. Nobody wants to associate
with them. They lead unhappy. lone
ly lives, and die unlamented.
But the wise youth makes a budget
of his time as the shrewd business

Leisure must be apportioned wisely
Ia part to be spent in the company of
men-a part to be spent in the COM

Books contain the best that there
is in really great men.
Not only are they necessary to de-

The lad who spends his time with
dull companions in pool room when
he might be listening to Emerson, or
Huxley or Spencer is a very foolish

Novels, If they are the right sort,
are almost, If not quite as instruc-

ways in deadly fear of the onside
player beating him to the BALL
Doing away with this dangerous
football weapon will eliminate to q
certain degree the large number Of
fair catches When the onside kick
was in effect, coaches instructed their
players to make fair catches when
ever in doubt of catching the ball.
Catches of this sort have been made
in all parts of the field and at times
when runs could have been made
after the catch.
However, the fact must not be lost
sight of that an outside kick still can
be executed from scrimmage. Section
8 of rule Is defines the play thorough
| ly in that it states the kicker himself,
! or any other player who was behind
| him when the ball was kicked, may,
however, recover kicked ball which
has not crossed the line of scrimmage.
1t will be readily seen that forma-
! tons can be evolved which will call
for a kickoff to either side of the field
with an interference restraining de-
Tending players from getting at the
ball, while the onsde warriors can be
placed in positions where they can
reach the ball quickly and before it
| crosses the scrimmage line.
In this connection it should be
stated that on kickoff or free kick
4 after fair catch players of the kicking
| team are onside and can recover the
ball, providing it is kicked ten yards
| before touching an opponent.
i The onside kick after fair catch
has many possibilities, any of which
may be sprung during the course of q
hard-fought struggle.

RULE AGAINST ONSlDE
KICK HELPS FOOTBALL
Should Have Tendency to Make
Game Much Stronger.

Elimination of the onside kick after
the Ball has been booted past the
scrimmage line should have tendency
to make defensive football stronger.
with the consequent result more stress
must be placed upon the development
Of powerful offensive formations,
writes Walter Eckersall in the Chicago
Tribune.
Years ago the onside kick was con-
sidered one of the most dangerous
weapons in football. With the coming
of the forward pass back in 1905 the
play was discarded until Robert Zupp-
Ike pulled it out of his chest of forma-
tons a few years ago. Since that time
practically every team in the country
has attempted to execute it, with the
result the defense had to be on the
alert every time punter assumed the
kicker's position.
In the course Of hard-fought games
defending players would shout onside
kick, with the result players Of the
kicking team who were thought to be
onside had to be covered. This weak
ened the defense to perceptible de-
gree, because as many as three defend
ing warriors covered the supposedly
onside player.
When the onside kick was in effect
it placed a great burden Of RESPONSE
bility on the defense fullback or any
other player delegated to catch punts.
The punt catcher always had to make
sure of the catch, no matter where
the ball was booted, and he was al

Charley Jameson, classy outfielder
of the Cleveland American league
club, broke into professional baseball
as a pitcher but, like many other as
piring young hurlers, soon learned
that pitching was not his forte and
made good in another department.
Connie Mack Of the Athletics and
Clark Griffith Of the Senators tried
out Jameson for pitching purposes,
but gave him up as hopeless task.
Under the able tutelage of Iris
Speaker, Jameson has developed into
one Of the best outfielders in the major

THE TALIsMAN
By GRACE E. HALL

sTWAS a little vine-wreathed cot
= tage.
just within the edge Of town,
Roses chung to caves and treHis,
And their peals drifted down,
While tragic scene was acted
Just inside the cozy room,
Where man and woman labored,
Lost to morning cheer and bloom;
Gathered here and there the Objects
Dear mementoes- now forlorn-
OF the day they entered gaily
On their happy wedding morn
From the wall he took picture,
From shelf she lifted books,
Silently they stripped the cottage,
Leaving bare its pleasant hooks;
Eyes and voices cold and lifeless,
Each avoided others way,
Soon they cleared the little parlor
Of the things they'd meant to stay:
When, from out a crowded trunk-tilH
Tumbled something small and white,
And flood Of burning tear-drops
Hid the object from their sight.
Just baby's shoes, quite shapeless.
With hole in one wee toe,
But 1t told heart-break story
OF their dreams Of long ago:
Each one stopped to grasp the token
That was lying on the floor,
And at last two hearts were broken
From their icy chill once more:
Sobbingly two voices mingled
In name that came to mind,
While hands clasped DER a baby,s shoe
That Fate had CHANGED to find!

dollar used on highways 10 these
times of heavy taxation without

paid in St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth for betterment of outside
roads. Road building prices be
