And some of us talked Of the fine craftsmanship of
the great Mississppla gun crews, and some Of us
talked in lower tones Of the dramatic moving spectacle

on the dark waters of the Pacific whereon foated the
dead fish, and said nothing at all.
THE band played The Star Spangled Banner, every
man stood Mt attention, salute of 81 guns was
fixed and Just the last note of our national anthem

THE GOOD WE DO
OVERSHADOWS The FAD

If we remember the good things
of life existence will be the sweet
er for US and for those around US.
We are too prone to forget the
good and dwell upon the seamy
side of humanity 1t diverts our
thoughts from the uplift and
plunges US into a gloom that is
enhanced by our discomfort.
in our restricted community
there is much that is good-there
are people whose acts serve as an
inspiration to all who would see
the brighter side of life.
They are unobtrusive, but their
influence is beneficial to all with
whom they come in contact.
They see the sordid side of our
existence, but they do not dwell
upon it.
They see the brightness of the
future, and they take it a part of
their daily lives.
They radicate happiness and
contentment wherever they go.
And because they see the better
side Of all people and all things,
the sweetness of their own lives is
seen by US.
1t is good to remember that
those who think we'll of the world
Invariably find that the world thinks
well of them.

lives Of all who give it an oppor-
tunity to enter.

without just cause-without so
much as informing itself as to real
conditions here, until taken to task
by several southern newspapers
who read the Literary Digest a
lecture. Then it was that the
