these statistics of emotions is
that thing may cause pleasure
on one occasion and displeasure
on another. For example: The
fragrant odors of a well-cooked
dinner are highly pleasing to
hungry man. But the reaction
is likely to be the opposite if
the came man has just gorged
himself on the same food.
Nothing is quite as enticing
as the thing we can't have.
In fact, according to another
authority, Prof. ], W. Bridges,
it is only when instinct is
thwarted that emotion develops.
But the "hggers" seem to
show that there's more pleasure
than pain in the world, even
when life is not running smooth
ly. A good thing to remember
when we're blue. And, too,
we couldn't experience pleasant
emotions to serve as contrast.
Joy and pain-physical, men
tai or emotional-are matters
of contrast.

Americas Loves a
Good Sport

There are no two finer sports
in the world than the Prince of
Wales and his countryman, Sir
Thomas Upton. The Princes
visits to this country have inn
pressed the American people
with his splendid democracy and
lack of swagger. Sir Thomas,
year after year, has refused to
accept defeat as final and comes
back again and again to rescue
the yacht trophy for his coun-
try.
Although he. is not swamped
with attention and publicity as
H. r. H., nevertheless Sir
Thomas Upton is always wei
coined to these shores by ev-
erybody who believes in good
sport and craftsmanship. There
are even thoroughly loyal and
patriotic American citizens who
go so far as to wish him bet
ter luck in future International
yacht races.
Sir Thomas apparently does
not consider the America 5 cup
a permanently lost prize. He
announces that he will challenge
for the cup with his fifth Sham
rock for race in 1926 if the
United States yachting authori-
ties will subscribe to the revised
rules presented at a recent con-
ference in England.
Just what those rules com
prise is not yet announced. 1t
is rather generally hoped, how
ever, that new regulations will
provide for the construction Of
useful vessels instead of highly
specialized racing boats unable,
to cope with winds that are
harmless to truly seaworthy
craft. Americans who want the
cup to be retained by this coun-
try would feel prouder of sue
if it were won under less re-
stricted conditions.
IF Sir Thomas enters his
yacht in 1926 the American
people will wish him luck and
do their best to defeat him
again.

AT the recent state exc cutive board

Der of inquiries that are sent to the

Claims He Saw Calico
Bear--But Odd Trusty'
Apparently Missed

While returning from the up
e end of Lincoln county recently
Ed. Weidner of Troy claims that
he saw the only white and black
bear ever known to folks Of this
country. The bear was seen on an
island e Jennings.
Being prepared for just such en-
ergencies he stopped his car, drag
ged forth "Old Trusty," and on the
pull of the trigger, the spotted bear
dropped out of sight. Being on the
opposite side of the river from his
game, Ed came on, and the next
day Travelled back up the Kootenai
the other side of the river to find
the bear which was supposed to have
dropped dead in it's tracks, but no
where could the bear be seen, either
dead or alive.
Weidner contends that his bear
was black and white, and he says he
can prove it by witnesses who were
with him.
