High School Football
Season Ends With Fair
Amount in the Treasury

A substantial sum was realized on
the Douglas High school football
season for 1925, according to the re-
port presented to the student council
of that institution by Principal J. E.
Carlson last week.
On eight games, five away and
three home, the athletic treasurer
realized $3.50. The greatest amount
of receipts obtained during one game
was the Bisbee game here, which
cleared $305.5O. The Tombstone game
was next with $1O5.45.
Last year the entire athletic pro-
gram consisting of eight football
games, twelve basketball games, three
baseball games, one state basketball
tournament, one state track and ten
mis- tournament returned deficit of
$3.50.
In 1929 the entire athletic program
which was about the same as l92f
yielded a balance OF $211.S3.
High school athletics are self-sup-
porting, and each year a greater ef-
fort is made to do more, for the girl
and boy who participates lin athletics.

Bishop F. Caller whose eloquence
is remarkable, told story about
oratory at dinner in New York.
Sheriff Garlick of Hot Dog" he
said, "was very poor orator, but
he rose one evening to make a
campaign speech in the presence Of
a large audience.
'The sheriff spoke so badly that
the audience gradually melted away.
At the end of an hours time one
old miner alone was lert.
1.-The old miner yawned and reach
ed down for his hat, but he was
Mortified to see Sheriff Garlick draw
a six-shooter from his hip pocket
and lay it on the reading desk be-
side his manuscript.
"The miner sat up. He fingered
his hat nervously. At length he in
terrupted the sheriff's muddy stream
of oratory to say:
"'Be ye gwine ter shoot eff 1 go"
"'Such friend, is my intention
said Sheriff Garlick. I am bound
to finish my oration even if have
to MAIN my audience in order to
retain it.
"The old miner heaved a sigh.
Then he rose and started for the
door.
"Well shoot eff yer a mind ter

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE.

Start the day with smile; when you
walk down the street
Determined to struggle and win,
Bestow on the first pretty girl that
you meet
A beaming and jov1a1 grin.
She may become frightened and call
the police
Who will take you to Jail for a
while;
But you'll know as you calmly await
your release,
That you started the day with a
smile.
Start the day with smile, if a
friend on the car
WHO'S been playing the bucket shop
joints,
Informs you he purchased some stock
around par
Which has dropped about seventy
points
Let your features reveal an express
sion of glee
Although his appeared worried and
blue,
For it always is wise to let other
That their troubles mean nothing
to you.
Start the day with a smile; if you're
late to your work
And the boss steps around to COM
plain,
Declare with carefree and nom
chalant smirk
That you never can catch that darn
train.
This may not produce the result you
desired,
Your mirth may be misunderstood
But you'll thrill by remembering,
after you're fired,
That you smiled while the smiling
was good.
Start the day with smile; though
your friends may suspect
That you're crazy, and dismally
dwell
On the nerve racking, brain sapping,
deadly effect
Of the liquor these bootleggers
sell,
And bid you beware of the horrible
stuff
And try to keep sober, while,
For you it will always be comfort
enough
That you started the day with a
smile.
