THE LAST HOPE

with apologies to Casey at the Bat")
1t looked extremely rocky for the
Carbon five that day,
The score stood two to four with
but minute left to play.
So when Toffer died at forward and
Eli did the same,
A pallor wreathed the features of
the patrons Of the game.
A struggling few got up to go,
leaving there the rest,
With that hope that springs eter-
nal within the human breast.
For they thought if only Eli could get
one good shot,
They'd put even money now, if
Eli wasn't caught.
Then from the gladdened multitude
went up joyous yell.
1t rumbled up the mountainous,
it ratified in the dell.
1t struck upon the hillside and
rebounded on the wall,
For Eli, mighty Eli, was advanc-
ing with the ball.
There was ease in Ellis manner, as
he stole up from his place.
There was pride in Ellis bearing
and smile on Ellis face.
And when responding to the cheers he
lightly waved his hand,
Not a stranger in the crowd
could doubt that Eli'd make
his stand
With smile of Christian charity
great Ellis visage shone.
He stilled the rising tumult, he
babe the game go on.
He signaled to Nick Rapids, once
more he forward drew.
There was no stopping Eli, when
his task he tried to do.
And now the leather covered sphere
goes hurting through the air
And Eli stood watching it, in
naughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy guard there, the
ball unheeded flew.
1t struck the blackboard fair and
square, the opposing team
felt blue.
All, somewhere in this favored land
the sun is shining bright.
The band is playing somewhere
and somewhere hearts are
light.
And somewhere men are laughing, anc
somewhere students dance.
But there is no joy in Carbon
mighty Eli missed his chance

TIE Body Is a Machine

The human body is an organism
made up of a number of units CO.
operating with each other to make 8
perfectly funetioning machine. It is
made of materials of a certain kind
and quality. It's term of usefulness
depends upon the quality Of the ma
terial that has gone into its making
and the kind of use and abuse to
which it has been subjected. So we
must assume, to start with, in trying
to arrive at correct answer to the
above questions, that the life Of a
body is limited, discounting all causes
6; G. premature dissolutions.
As to what shall be considered pre-
mature we can for the purposes of
this treatise confine ourselves to
death from accidental causes-iniur-
les, infectious diseases, and so on.
1t takes the human organism twenty
five years to attain its full growth
and development and it should last
four times that long. The reason It
so seldom does is not SO much be-
cause of what is done to it as because
Of the kind of material it is made Of
to begin with. The fact that quite a
number of people reach the century
mark shows that it is possible.
The further fact that some of these
people worked hard, ate pretty much
what they pleased, smoked tobacco,
and drank liquor, shows that these

LOCALS WILL PLAY
IN TWO CAGE GAMES

The second game Of the season will
be with Laurel high on our own floor
this coming Saturday night. Laurel
took third place at the tournament last
year, but got beat by one point last
week by Bridger. This game ought to
prove of interest to everyone.
Tuesday, December 6, the high
school team will go over the hill and
play Bearcreek high. Bearcreek and
Carbon have always been close rivals.
On their floor, the boys will need all
support possible. Let's all plan to go.

Our favorite school sport has now
started off in full force. The team,
although still green in spots, went
through the initial performance in
fine shape. The four regulars played
in the fashion which showed why
they had been picked for their posi-

skill and courage. The clean playing
of the team is credit to our high

Friday night. The first scores were
made by foul shots from Guintoni and

was fairly speedy and scores were

showed some good basketball. The
town team lacks a little endurance but
gave the high school a good run.

We Begin To Die From Birth
In a certain sense we are dying
from the moment we are born. That
is to say, the various functioniag
parts begin to wear out from the time
they start to work. Certain changes
take place in these parts year after
year, the sum total of which may APP
propriately be termed progressive
loss Of elasticity. Stated another way,
we may designate this change as de-
Velopment of rigidity.
The endurance, the response to I'M
usual demands, the subsequent come
back Of any structure are proper
tional to its elasticity. The sooner
It's elastic limit is reached the sooner
the evidences of that rigidity which
slows up exhibits itself. The elastic
limit Of any material is defined as
the point at which, under applied
loads, the stresses are no longer pro-
portional to the loads In other words,
when the elastic limit of material
has been reached it fails to respond
further to the applied force. If its
limit of elasticity has been exceeded
It fails to return to its former condi-
ton on removal of the force.
Everything has certain amount of
elasticity-steel as well as rubber.
Likewise the materials composing the
human body. It's capacity for response
to stimuli depends upon its elasticity.
A rubber band will reach only as far
as it will stretch. An artery will ex-
pand only to the limit of its elasticity.
The body as a whole conforms to the
same law. At thirty it has lost some

REDWOOD COUNTY GIRL is RE-
TURNED A WINNER IN THE
PURE BRED GUERNSEY CLASS
WHEN JUDGED MONDAY.

Two hundred beautiful dairy calves
and heifers, the pick and pride of as
many junior calf club members, were
in the spotlight all day Monday in
the show ring of the hippodrome
building at the Northwest Dairy Ex-
position.
At the close Of busy days care
full judging six champions had been
chosen by Judges j. P. Ewes of the
Dairy Farm of Des Moines, and Earl
Cooper of the Holstein-Friesian As
:sociation of America.
The former judged the calves them
selves and the latter chose the cham
rpion Snowman for his proficiency and
skill in the show ring. This award
was given to Glenn Won Void of Ken
Won, son of Arthur Won Void, a prom
inent Holstein breeder and graduate
of the Minnesota School of Agricul-
xure. The runners-up were Walter
Delaney of Dakota county, John Let
ness of Pennington, Donald Dayton
of Hennepin and Ellen Hardy of
Meeker county.
The junior calf club girls shared
the honors with the boys in winning
the breed championships.
Avis Wilson, of Hazel Run, won
the Holstein championship with her
purebred yearling heifer. Ellen Har-
dy of Meeker county captured the
coveted purple championship banner
IN the Guernsey classes with her pure
bred calf. Toy honors on Brown
Swiss cattle went to Eugene Triton
of Sleepy Eye, showing purebred
wearing. James Bull of Dundas was
chosen for the championship in the
-Ayrshires, with a purebred two-year-
old heifer. The Jersey champion is
Irwin Armstrong of Hartland, show
ang a purebred yearling.
The most difficult class to judge
was the showmanship contest. AS
each class of animals was shown in
the ring Judge Cooper selected a
few outstanding showmen and told
them to report for that contest later.
Twenty-four were entered in the
finals, out of which II were sent to
the barns and the remaining dozen
put through a severe test of handling
cattle in the ring.
They were required, not only to
lead out their own calves, but those
of other breeds belonging to other
members. The final awards were re-
ceived with burst of applause from
the large audience that filled the big
building.
Ellen Hardy, the Guernsey cham
pion, is 13-year-old daughter of F
