So when our emotions are gratifed
to excess-left uncontrolled-they
cause suffering and pain that out
weigh the pleasures.
The subjective is like sleeping
watchdog who responds to the prick
of pain quicker than to reason and it
is only when will-the positive pole
unites with reason, the negative side
of the objective, that they blend and
become a stronger force that can con-
troll desire. This is the beginning of
wisdom in man.
SO the first essential to self-control
is to awaken the will.
This wonderful positive force within
US, working in conjunction with rea-
son, can bring into manifestation in
our lives and our environment things
that to the uniformed seem mirac-
ulous
The freedom of will gives US indi-
viduality. It's right or wrong exercise
is what makes for nobility of charac-
ter or what debases US to the level of
brutes and beasts.
Fear is the first of the cardinal
emotions. 1t is the prime cause of
needless suffering; destructive to hap
piness and progress. 1t is the cause
of anger, hate, jealousy, murder, theft
and leads to doubt and despair. Abol-
ish fear and substitute thought that
are the opposite of its many aspects.
When you have done this you have
destroyed the tap root of the emotions
that lead so many men astray.
Some people are continually harbor-
ing some fear, fear of distress, dis
ease, failure and thus are ever alb
sorbing elements that develop the
things they feared and don't want.
Mind is magnetic and draws into
our lives the characteristics of our
predominant thoughts which show
themselves in the company we keep,
the books we read, the amusements we
enjoy and in our conduct with our fell
low man.
Our lack of independence and poise
of moral and physical courage are the

AIRPLANE LANDS

Three aviators. enroute from Mum
sic, Indiana, to the Sesqui- Centen-
nial to compete in the airplane races,
got off their course Tuesday and
landed on the outskirts of Rising
Sun about six O'Clock that evening.
The flyers left Munsie in the morn
ing, and after taking a passenger to
Louisville, proceeded on their way.
A stop was made at Moundsville,
West Virginia, for oil and gas.
After taking off from there for
Philadelphia, the aviator who was
watching the map said, he went to
sleep and the pilot at the wheel
got off the course.
A landing was made in field on
the farm south of town, operated by
Clarence Cullen.
The aviators remained here over
night and took off for Philadelphia
about eight o'clock Wednesday
morning. They were E. E. Basham,
pilot In charge; c. E. Lewis and

PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLMENT

Rising Sun High School opened
this year with an enrolment that
broke all previous records, and new
pupils are coming in daily.
The. elementary department is
full to overfiowing. Especially is
this true in the primary department,
where more than fifty little tots
were crowded into room that has
seating capacity for about thirty
five, and but one teacher to look
after this whole lot of primary
pupils, where each one requires
more or less Individual instruction.
This over-crowded condition in the
primary department is no new
thing in our school here, and all last
year clamor was made for an
extra teacher, but without avail, and
this year also, we are informed,
there is no hope for an additional
teacher, the school authorities re-
fusing to grant one because of\the
average" attendance not being up
to requirements.
This average" attendance is
worked to the queens taste, and
may be all right in theory, but when
teachers are expected to do the
impossible in instructing more pupils
than a room will accommodate, be-
cause the average is not up to school
law requirements, it looks like the
average school law is more theoret-
ical than practical.
The extra teacher question for
Rising Sun would be a pretty good
problem for the Parent Teachers
Association to thresh out with the
powers that be in school affairs.

DENIED RIGHT TO VOTE
Perry Point Residents
DISTINGUISHED

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
has handed down decision to the
effect that persons residing upon
the Government reservation at Perry
Point, are not residents of the State
of Maryland, for the purpose of
exercising the right of franchise. The
Board of Supervisors of Elections
for Cecil county has given notice
to this effect. Prior to this decision
by the Court of Appeals, residents
of Perry Point, otherwise qualified,
were permitted to register and vote
in this county. The present Pri-
mary Law provides for a sitting of
the Board of Registry before the
Primary Election, but at this sitting
the Board may only add new names.
No provision is made whereby the
names of the residents from Perry
Point, whom the Court of Appeals
has held have no right to vote in
Maryland, can be stricken from the
Registration Books at this sitting.
However, the Election Law provides
that eff at any election held in any
city or county, any person shall vote
or attempt to vote in any election
precinct without having a legal
right to vote therein, such person
shall upon conviction thereof be
punished by Imprisonment in Jail or
in the pententiary for not less than
six months nor more than five years.
Persons residing in Perry Point, who
are registered as voters of Cecil
county, subject themselves to the
of conviction and imprison-
ment. should they attempt to vote
at the coming Primary Election.

POTASH FOUND NEAR NOXON.
TOWN MILL POND, DEL.

Farmers living near Noxontown
mill pond, two miles south of
Middletown, Del, have been in a
state of excitement ever since the
discovery, last week, of large de-
posits of potash with traces of gold
and platinum. Like the little boy
on the night before Christmas,
visions of '49 rushes and large
chunks of gold, platinum and potash
are dancing through their head.
The, potash was discovered by
workers for New York firm which
holds number of leases in the
vicinity The men are at present
digging on the farm of Mrs. Sarah
B. Hutchinson. They have asked
her price for the land but as yet no
arrangements have been made to
sell it, she said.
While the gold seen was at first
believed to be forerunner OF larger
veins of the ore.- it is said by those
close to the men conducting the
operation that now, since the potash
has been found, 1t is believed the
presence of the gold will be disre-
garded. The scene of activity is
on the farm adjacent to the place
where, two years ago. quantities of
platinum were discovered.
At the time the platinum was
unearthed, a concern made some
effort to put operations under way
10 mine it. This concern failed and
o far as is known. none of the
platinum has been removed. Della
