has appointed committee consisting
of E. j. Driear, chairman, C. S. Webb
and George Woods to have charge oil
improving the tennis court at the
court house. Mr.. Driear states that il

and painting the posts and wooden Sec
tons. Painted benches will also be sup
piled for seats.
This improvement of the court is
taken up by the Lions merely as civic
service. 1t will be done in cooopera-

past year or two. The plan is for the
young people to still maintain the

What mems voices do under excite
ment or provocation is a clue to the
sort of leadership to which they aspire
The bully takes browbeating, threat
ening tone, the tyrant, a. domineering
overlordish tone; the man of peace, 4
persuasive, reasoning tone; the man oil
logic cool, detached tone.
The listener to all of these is as much
influenced by the voice as by what is
said Many a speaker loses out because
his voice is not under control and he
bellies his words.
Are you careful2 Do you watch your
voice? Remember people criticize you
as much as you criticize them, and one
of the major topics is voice. II you have
a controlled. pleasant voice you have
one of the greatest assets toward sue
cess and popularity, and you might we'll
be proud
Maybe you think that you are care
full; that your voice is modulated to
perfection, and yet you can not be 4
Judge. Others see you in different
light and your opinion holds no great
weight in their decision OF you One
way to keen this little warning ever be-
fore you is to remember this little
axiom, you are master of the un-
spoken word, but after it is spoken it
is master of you"

New Relief
Plan To Be In
Operation Soon
Secretary Church Returns From Helena
Conference and Explains System
To Be Followed in Future.

Paul Church, of the Lincoln county
relief committee, returned Friday from
attending a meeting of relief officials
at Helena and where plans for a new
relief set-up were explained These
plans have not yet been fully worked
out, but some of the salient points are
as follows.
There is to be new registering Of
all in need of relief The financial con-
dition of all those registering will be
thoroughly investigated at the time. AS
previously, all work relief will be ex-
tended only to those in need of assist
ance and who are unable 10 obtain
work
A new system is to be used in choos-
ing work projects Committees are 10
be appointed in each incorporated city
in the county A similar committee for
the county is to be appointed by the
county commissioners. These commit
tees are to plan work projects and sub
init them for approval to the county re-
lief committee. Those projects approved
by the relief committee will be for
warded to Helena headquarters for APP
proyal. The projects finally approved
by Helena will then be eligible %or
work, and men in need of work relief
will be placed on the approved
projects.
According to Church, the conference
at Helena was in line with a planning
movement originating in Washington
that looks to the development of re-
sources and industries throughout the
nation over long period of years The
nation has been divided into regions
and director placed over each region
Each region is likewise divided into
districts, and the local committees are
to originate development projects.
These projects are supposed to be Of
such nature that they Will provide en-
ployment and eventually make people
now on relief lists self sustaining.
An explicit rule under the new set
up is that all those receiving aid must
plant and maintain a garden for their
own use. Orders are that families fail
ing to do this will be refused relief
assistance.
Another rule that will be applied
locally is that payment in relief work
will not be in cash but will be in
orders on merchants for goods.
For the present, no money is avail
able for relief and all relief assistance
has been stopped temporarily. 1t will
be resumed as soon as the new set-up
can be perfected and as soon as funds
are again apportioned.
