The Plentywood Schools have
taken n big step in making super
vised physical training together with
athletics Il reality for most of the
boys In the school. Although a con
siderable number of boys are not
yet taking part in the program, an
effort is being made to include prac-
tically every boy who is physically
able to participate. Athletic partici-
patton is NOT, for the most part,
compulsory, at this time but it may
well be considered as a goal for the
future and ear be tempered to meet
the needs of all groups. We believe
In first trying to make the work suf-
fIciently attractive SO the boys will
be more than pleased TO take part.
The following is a brief resume
of what has been done in an effort
to offer q varied program that will
meet the needs of a majority of the
pupils.
In fall sports:
30 boys participated in high
school football. Practices were held
every evening at Ais. with games
on Saturdays.
33 boys participated in Junior
high school soccer football. An in

The past Journeys have usually
provided us with the. added spice
Of a dark-horse. In 1881, GILBERT
son rated seventh in the eight teams
participating, finished second. In
1882, Opheim, not given even an
outside chance to defeat Scobey In
the opening game, finished second.
Then there are also npsets to con-
tend with. In 1881, Outlook, rated
fourth In the p%re-tourney dope, fell
prey to the d~ark-horse, CulbertsOn
in the first game. In 1892, Scobev
rated a par with Outlook to fight 1t
out for first place, fell before the
onslaught Of an inspired Opheim
team In the first game. Anything
can happen In a tournament.
Here is the dope as the writer
sees 1t now:
Scobey, Outlook, and Medicine
Lake rated as the strongest teams.
Medicine Lake and Outlook look the
best at the present because Of their
hard-driving style of play. Scobey,
however, with several sharp shoot
ers on the team is well able to take
care Of themselves against either
team. In the seasons play Medicine
Lake and Outlook have each won
a game from each other. 1t remains
to see what they can do OF a large
floor.
Outlook's team of five seniors,
playing together for their third year
ii going to be a combination hard to
do away with. Medicine Lake has al
heavy, fast team, with several Of
fensiye men that have a tendency
to get hot" at times. These two
teams have it seems reached their
peak. Scobey has two seasoned vet
terans In Larson and Smith. Smith
is probably the best individual play
err in the district, and when right is
dangerous.
plentywood, with much material,
but lack Of experienced men, will
likely develop more than any other
team In the district. Although this
team lost to both Scobey and Med
icine Lake. the fact that they out
scored their opponents the last half
shows that they are apt to be poison
to n of the teams when they hit
their stride.

iating has eliminated the knock

of players. In short we can look
forward to games played BY well
balanced, clean playing, but agrees

Women In England live longer than
men.
Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, the
famous physician, says this is due to
the fact that women, far from being
the weaker sex, are stronger than
men.
Official figures show that In Lon
don alone. out of eighteen c~entenari-
ans. all but one are women.
In England as a whole, there are
twice as many women over the age
of eighty-six as men, yet, according
to latest statistics, 1,045 boys to ev-
cry 1000 girls are born each year.
''The reason for women's longevity
Is not far to seek" says Sir William
Arbuthnot Lane.
"Women are quite definitely the
stronger Of the two sexes. The term
weaker sex Is utterly unscientiflc
and needs qualifying a very great
deal.
ut is true that women have not
the muscular strength of men. In
fact, strenuous exercise as INDUCED
In by men Is definitely harmful to
women.
"Women's fashions also tend to
keep them healthy. Both air and
sunshine can get to their skins"

Life's Plan Not
Based on Speed

A lesson for those who may be dis
couraged by the seeming slowness
made In the advancement of the
world is contained in the following
pertinent observations by a noted
American woman writer:
mine thousand miles a minutei
That's the speed the earth Is max
Ing. Nine thousand miles a minute.
scientists tell us now. around the cen
ter of Its star system.
Were you overcome when they told
you about the air races, where they
tried to push past the mark of 300
miles an hour? Compared to 1900
miles a minute that doesn't look so
big.
There are two ways of looking al
that. One woman / know would say,
What's the use? Why put ourselves
out-whatever w can achieve is moth.
fng-we may as well take II easy.
Silly. those humans. scurrying around
like hysterical ants to beat each other
to something. tearing themselves to
pieces. breaking their hearts to
achieve something here, Improve
something there. II you want To
know what 1t all amounts to, just
think of those racers breaking their
necks to top the record by another
mile. when the earth saunters around
with no trouble at all at 9.0O0 miles
to the mInuter
'Then there Is the woman | know
who would smile wisely and say. IF
all men and women had felt that way
about 1t we should still be wearing
skins and hunting our food with
stones and clubs. The difference
between life as It Is today and the
most primitive existence lies In the
countless and almost ~imperceptIble
improvements attained at great cost.
n after another, by brave and
dauntless men and women who had
their eyes on a goal and did not stop
until they got there. 1t is not the
isolated gain here or there. but the
measure of the whole picture which
gives us true perspective In the
matter
"For my part. | am inclined TO
agree with the woman who says
What's the use las far as those
are concerned whose life Is one I'M
restrained rush. who are In such a
hurry to get somewhere that they
miss everything that Is worth while
along the way. who are SO intent on
success that life passes them by.
However, 1t is not what they are
after that is foolish. but the way
they are going after 1t.
"For, as u second friend says, no
achievement, no improvement. no for
ward step Is to be despised. That one
mile of improvement over the last
best record may be more important
In the scheme of things than the nine
thousand a minute which the earth
losses off with no trouble at all. For
1t signifies progress. a step forward.
And when the efforts of man have
had as much time as this old world of
ours has had for experiment, who
knows how contemptuously we may
look upon that record of our universe
which now points so proudly to n;ne
thousand trips a minute?"

she flushed with embarrassment, She
had no money. With what could she

Du Val kindly.
Doris tried hard to think. "Oh
some thread. Some red thread to
mend a rip In my red dress, and
some darning cotton"
"But | can let you have those
things, Doris. You know you have
only to ask"
Doris felt ashamed and desper-
ate. 1t vas impossible for her to
go to New York without money. To
suppose she were not Mrs. Rocky
Du Val seemed now simply morbid
imagining. II she weren't then where
was the real Mrs. Rocky Du Val?
She would have turned up long ago,
surely. She sat biting her lip and
looking at Mrs. Du Val who kept
busily on with her cr~ocheting.

She smiled into Doris agonized
eyes. 1T will be all right. He al
ways acts so when l have to 20 to
New York"
After lunch the big cal came
around In front OF the door, and
Oscar Du Val gloomily watched them
drive away. From the important
way that Mrs. Du Val switched her
self into the limousine and settled
her skirts over her round short legs,
Doris knew that the French woman
was secretly pleased with the out

Oscar Du Val kissed them both
as solemnly as II he never expected
to see them again.
Il feel rather guilty" SAID Doris.
Nonsense. 1t does him good. Let
me advise you, Doris, about your
husband. In big things, give In to
him, yes"
"Yes?' repeated Doris somewhat
doubtfully.
yes" said Mrs. Du Val firmly,

In big things, In things that matter.
Let him have his own way about
his work. He knows best about that.

She looked away from Mrs. Dr

They were sitting on a grassy

and walled on one side by q roch
garden, and on the other by a lat,
tice of climbing roses Lunch war
spread on a gaily tiled table. They
were waiting for Oscar Du Va
to come from his studios and eat
with them.
Mrs. Du val's fingers were busy
as usual with crocheting. She did
not look up, but Doris saw that
she was frowning anxiously.
Rocky left orders that you are
not to go into New York. you

This was rather surprising. Doris
lifted her pretty brows. why

Doris did not know what to an

please her. Mrs Du Val was at

not make her a possible companion

would not let Doris have a minute

Doris did not know. 1t did not
