UNWRITTEN SACRIFICES

Once more the people of a nat
ion bow their heads in solemn
regard for those who have gone
before.
Once more the flowers are
streWn across the graves that
mark the spot where we last view
ed all that was mortal of those
we knew and loved.
And once more our thoughts
linger upon the divine inspiration
that it is the spirit that lives.
Once more Memorial Day
comes, the inevitable day. The
deep commanding thud of muff1ed
drum beats upon our ears. The
drolling tones of funeral dirge
causes us to pause in life's on
ward rusi. and think of the real
tiles of the great Afterwhile OF
which we know so little now.
This che day May 80 = u :
commanded by law, but dictateo
by that which is greater, = the
conscience of men - is set aside
for our benefit; and the-question
comes, what shall we do with it!
We can know that to whatever
degree we accomplish in life our
memory will be heightened whel
we have passed on.
But accomplishment is a relat-
i've term; aud it may not mean a.
chievement in letters or art, nor
in craftsmanship or industry.
1t may mean the love that g
father or mother were able to
bring to us.
1t may mean the prattle of lit
tile children 4, or tiny fingers grasp
ing our cheeks.
Itmay mean the wrinkled faces,
the calloused hands, the bent
shoulders that worked so hard
that we might live and learn and
do.
1t may mean sacrifices un-
written in the books of History

In the completion Of this program
we have realized our highest am

the best chapters in the state.
The detectives taken by the other
chapters in the state did not num-

now the Clintwood Chapter is
the first to complete all.
In our years work we have
given a father and son banquet,
improved the school grounds, rem
dered community service, bought
and sold comparatively, staged a
play that brought us enough
money to defray the expenses of
the track and judging teams to

LUCKIER Than A HOaSESH OE.

In any worth while enterprise
there is usually more gained by
good conscientious effort and by
the application of ones talents
than by trusting to luck. In fact,
nothing in life worth while is ev-
err gained without some effort
and while all cannot win an auto
mobile, the business experience
gained friends and acquaintance
made, will be of inestimable value
in later years.
President indications point to a
"hair-breadth" finish, and it ap-
pears certain that the close mar
gin by which the prizes will be
won will occasion the greatest
surprise. No member can appear
certain of victory and there is
abundant speculation as to the
utcome. The last week will de-
eide. The race is too close among
too many to bank on any posi-
bilities, and again there are too
many people interested in each
member to assure anyone of an
easy victory. RELAXATION
AT THIS TIME is SUICIDAL
TO SUCCESS. Determination to
win coupled with relentlessness
in gathering votes will go along
way in deciding the winner.
1t is now or never! The final
vote schedule is the one big op-
poruunity which remains for the
drive members, upon which to
base their hopes of concluding
their campaign in a successful
manner.
With the rich rewards hanging
in the balance, all candidates are
making a fast and furious battle
of ballots, which will end at Il
o'clock p. M. Wednesday, June

On last Monday evening there
was a collision Of Automobiles
took place on the corner of Nc
Clure Avenue in front of the
Silver Moon Cafe. We think the
cause of this accident was that
there were parked on the corner,
directly in front of the Silver
Moon Cafe, a truck and probaly
two other cars, thereby obstruct-
ing the view of the driver coming
up Mcclure Avenue. We think
it would be a good idea for the
authorities to look into the matter
of enforcing the parking and
driving ordinance of this town
before some one is seriosly
injured.
