troubles at the feet of these chosen

dens carried for them. Many of the
complaints are real, but finding a

MITATING THE POLITICIANS

The politicians have just given the
people demonstration of the way
things have to be obtained in this
world. They have gone out on the
stump, they have talked to the peo-
pie through the radio, and they
have used newspaper publicity. If
they just kept quietly at home and
did nothing to push their candida
cies. they would not usually stand
much chance of getting elected.
Similarly the store which wishes
to be elected to prosperity, should
push its cause. 1t needs to talk to
the people, and the newspaper gives
them a chance to reach the public
at very low cost. 1t is as neces-
sary for success in business as it is
in politics.

entitled to have free admittance
to all basket ball games, baseball
games, all the parties, and receives
four copies of the school magazine

eral Organization ticket the stu
dent would have to pay at least
five dollars for these privileges.
In other words 10000 interest is
guaranteed for every fifty cent in
vestment 1t is hard to believe
that over a hundred students in
Junior High School do not accept
this offer.
Putting the matter on a large
scale, we might easier see the ig-
norance of those who do not pur-
chase G. o. tickets. Would they
refuse to put out $4,000 for S50,-
600 return in one year? Then, COM
ing back to the smaller scale, why
do they refuse to put out $50 for
$500 return in one year?
Unlike the profit the gamblers
make, the profit the student will
make is certain. Maybe someday
we will be the ones to receive large
interest on wise investments should
we begin now to learn what wise
investments are.

After High School, What?

Do Seniors in High School really
realize that, when they graduate,
they are thrust out into the world
to make a success or failure out of
their lives? All eyes are upon them
and their decision as to their life's
work is either applauded or scorn-
ed by the public.
Today there are many channels
of work from which the graduate
may choose. He is free to return
to High School to take a Post
Graduate course; he may enter a
college or business school for fur
ther training in some profession. A
girl has the opportunity Of taking
up nursing. There are courses af-
fered in High School from which
the graduate may enter directly in
to the business world. And, of
course, there are some domestic
souls who marry very soon after
they graduate.
In fact, the eager graduate from
the modern High School has every
opportunity to make a success of
his life. Let's hope that all our
Seniors may be successful and may
never regret the decision they
made when they graduated.

Wise Investments

people who have made some invest

gamble on sporting events and

hear of those who have invested
wisely In stocks or bonds and have
received enormous dividends or

GAME HUNTING

Game
SEASON OPENS NOV. 18TH

Reports from numerous sources
made to the State Game and Fish
Commission indicate excellent
prospects for hunting this fall, :"
the report said. The first open
season for pheasants will be from
November 16 to November 21. The
limit will be not more than two a
day and not more than six during
the season. Hen pheasants can
not be taken. The report said the
U. S. Biological Survey, on recon-
mendations of the State Game and
Fish Commissioners, has surveyed
an area between Woodland Beach
and Leipsic as one of system of
migratory bird refugees. The
money is being raised by the gov
eminent by the sale of duck
stamps. The purchase of $3.50
acres has been approved by con-
gressional committee, the report
said, and additional options are be-
ing taken on adjacent land. The
U. S. Resettlement Administration
has acquired about $500 acres in
the vicinity of Petersburg and
Trappe and the Assawoman Bay,
which will also provide refugees and
hunting areas for upland game
and migratory birds, the report
said. Receipts of the Game and
Fish Commissioners were S45, 5,349.-

June 80, compared with S28, ,844 40

servation program which is under
consideration. Leonard K. Yerger,

was prepared by Clarence S. Fos-

Diesel Engines

Perhaps the newest and fastest
developing industry of the motor
world today is the introduction of
diesel engines, for travel and mot
orized production. There are sew
eral reasons for the oil burning en-
gines taking place of those that
burn gasoline. The diesel burns
crude oil and abolishes the use of
spark in the motor. Combustion
or explosion is then unnecessary in
the usual method as introduced
with a motor using the spark. This
engine has everything connected
with oil lines and thus gives the
motor modern air cooled efficiency
throughout. Fuel oil sells for APP
proximately six cents per gallon
compared with the price of gaso-
line.
There are many schools being
opened for the ever increasing
numbers wishing to take courses in
diesel work. Modern farming, truck
travel. bus, steamship, locomotive,
automobile, and factory machinery
are being run by powerful money
saving oil burners. The only form
of travel for which diesel has not
been suited as yet is in the air.
1t hasn't been introduced in the air
because of the weight of such an
engine.
Thus we see the world travelling
on to bigger and better things un-
der improved power in the line of
transportation.

making the sportsmen look for

pires, the 18th of November. Part
ridges are said to be unusually
abundant, and 80 are squirrels for
the limited amount of woods that
now exist, but woodcock have been
scarce, and so are rabbits. The
fact that the latter are less in
numbers than usual is owing
doubtless to the heavy rains that
fell throughout May, June and
July, drowning the young. The
cunning season commences a
month later than it did some
years ago, made necessary to pre-
vent destruction that indicated

Thomas Paine's Part in The
Revolution

Although the literature of the
Revolutionary War was extensive,
I feel that it is safe to state that
Thomas Paine was the fathter of
the literature of this period.
Paine was an important figure
in Europe during the French Rev
olution because of his influence
upon the people. After being dis
missed from his government job in
England in 1774, he came to Phil
adelphia. Here he lived among
prominent figures of the colonies
such as Benjamin Franklin and
others.
In January. 1776, Thomas Paine
wrote a booklet, which though
small and of little beauty, was read
by all colonists both in North and
in the South. It touched the hearts
of all who read it. He aroused the
interest of many colonists who did
not understand the treatment that
they were receiving from England.
This Englishman in his book of so
few words placed the true facts be-
fore all the people and in this way
made them realize that they should
be free and an Independent coun-
try and not to be ruled by Eng
land.
1t is easy for us to understand
the Importance and value that
Thomas Paine was to the colonies
of yesterday and to the United
States of today. His, Common
Sense" acted as a flaming beacon
ito light the way toward independ-
ence."
