Frolkey then went to Dickman. gave him the money and then shot himself with the same gun he had used earlier in the rob- bery.

That's the answer to the popularity
of Ground Hog Day-the hope that

of being alive to see again the creeks

with their sweet music, to inhale the
warm, sweet breath of newly turned

Success Within Reach
of Practical Dreamer

What is the good of dreaming II
your dreams never come true?
That almost sounds hopeless. Dream
II you like of possible development
toward the aims and ideals of life.
dream pleasantly of nice things, al
though they are not within the bounds
of possibility. There is no harm In
that SO long as you keep control of
your dreaming. Why shouldn't we
make our own romance within our
own mind? It's a nice and attractive
recreation, just as Is the reading of
a story.
But we must dream, too, about the
goal OF success we want to reach. It
need not be material, it may be a
spiritual goal. Certainly it should be
both. The material one is good to
have, especially if it is an honorable
one. It's no good, however, simply
dreaming about 1t only; we must get
busy in trying to achieve it. Dream
ing about it Is futile unless we sup.
port il with real solid effort to at
tain our ends.
That, says the London Chronicle, is
the way great things have been ac-
corlplished, great adventures carried
out, great inventions brought to func-
ton. There were the dreams, sure
enough, but the dreamers gave their
dreams life.

A NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM?

Freedom, we children all,
Long heard your mother-eall
In lands afar,
Host after host we came,
Drawn by your glorious name,
Lit by your torch aflame,
A new worlds star.
Thus starts the poem by Edgar
Markham, famous author Of "The
Man With the Hoe" for which he
will share in the $1,000 prize offered
by Mrs. Florence Brooks-Aten for a
new national anthem.
The Markham poem is beautiful.
But we wonder what is wrong with
the anthem that we have. 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner has many advan-
tages.
1t is bold, martial and defiant
it makes one feel proud of ones
country. 1t is in three-four time, so
that it cannot be marched to; hence,
it viii never be played for a parade,
but always will be used in the most
dignifed way, to be heard while per-
sons are in assemblage. 1t is hard
to sing, therefore is generally played
by band, and so is usually COM
petently rendered.
However, the Markham poem is
certainly fine. Much as we like it,
though, we'd hate to see "The Star
Spangled Banner" lose its place as
the national anthem.
