Dorothy Beck of Douglas Avenue, member of our business office personnel is really lucky girl She was downtown window shopping the other evening and returned home minus her wallet containing tidy sum of money and some valuable papers. Doing what everyone should do in case like this Dotty used the display advertisement page to see she couldn't regain the wallet The first night the ad appeared the wallet re-appeared. Homer F. Bromeke, Jr. of Piedmont Street was the Good Samaritan Before Doty left the paid her call and handed the wallet Like the real regular fellow he is he refused reward This incl dent proves two things that there's still honest men among us and that the ad columns of the Democrat always reap harvest

Good Evening.

B. H. O. CTranslated: Before House Cleaning) The curtains are rather grimy, The paint trifie of white, The ceilings look rather dingy, The Persian rug is sight. The drapes look sort of sooty, The light fixtures just bit tarnished' The kitchen walls are all smoked up, The floors are crying to be vanished. The Venetian blinds are dingy The overstuffed furniture dusty, There's film on the brio 8 brac And the window screens look rusty. Taken by and large it's fact, Most of us have to confess, Come hell, high water, and April The whole alarmed house Is mess.

Most of those ''ink-stained wretches' of the metro

they'll retire to some small community where they
will take the helm (and frequently it's spelled without

tiers of small kingdom, in their imaginations at
least, know every subscriber by and go fishing
at least three times a week.
We might add that most of the workers small
newspapers dream of the day, when they have any
time for dreaming, they'll step up to post the big
city papers. It's merely of the other pasture
looking greener SIR
Now we note that Rev. Frank D. Harris of Miami
Avenue Presbyterian church has decided to forsake
beaboring the devil from the pulpit and to wreste
with the printers devil From pulpit to editorial desk
Is quite transition. We don't know of anyone who
has jumped the reverse but perhaps has happened

TWIN CITIES WIN ANOTHER

Those fast-stepping M. & M. Twin
Cities diamond-dusters, of the East
ern Ohio League, continued in their
winning ways by downing a highly
touted Somerset team by an s to 5
score. The game was played on the
Somerset diamond, Sunday after
noon. Largely responsible for the
win was the power-laden bat of
Ralf Wynn, feet centerfielder for
the locals, coming to the plate five
time, he banged out homer, triple,
double and single and completed his
one-man route of the opponents by
several nice catches in the field. AL
so to come through at bat were

with Wynn, are the four ''W's" that
are making the "Wham" in the
Twin Cities club batting.
Fritz" Barnhart, local portsider,
pitched nice game for M. & M,
but retired in the seventh and was
relieved by Sam Witham. "Barny"
struck out seven of the opposition
batters in the time he worked, and
showed great promise of being an
able partner to Witham in forming
formidable pitching staff.

RACCALAUREATE SERVICES
WE'LL ATTENDED

How Far Can You See" was the
subject of the excellent sermon Rev.
Glenn L. Tennell, pastor of Trinity
Methodist church, delivered TO the
NJ & NJ. graduating class, at the
high school auditorium, Sunday ev-
ening The services were we'll at
tended The minister developed the
thought that the person constantly
looking down-living in the valley.
so to speak, has narrow skyline
He does not see beyond his own lit
tie world. He is self-centered:
making a living for himself, the
easiest way, and cares little or moth
ing for others. The other type
climbs to a higher plane; they see
ahead and into the future, and the
higher they mount the wider be-
comes their skyline. They look at
matters not in terms of self, but for
the best interest of the entire group.
AS an illustration he used the
playing of baseball pointing out
two types of players, one who plays
for self alone-for self-glory, and
his own individual advancement,
and not for the best interest of the
team. The other type will sacrifice
hit in order that the entire team
may benefit and win. The same
thing is true of the leaders of our
churches, lodges, clubs, etc, who
unselfishly broaden their vision, and
are willing to sacrifice for the best
interests of the entire community.
Another example cited is the SOL
der, who quickly learns that he
must obey commands in order to
carry out the plans mapped out by
his superiors Our school, the
speaker said, is testing of young
people in number of different
make their decision. That decision
will have much to do with "How far
they can see"
In conclusion Rev. Tennell dwelt
upon the vision of St. Paul, and of
the Christ. While he was tempted
many times to turn aside from doing
the will of his father, he never
yielded to self, and his vision took
in the whole world. During his SER
mon the minister took occasion to
speak a few words in praise of Mrs.
Evelyn True Button, who is retiring
from teaching. He spoke of her
worth as instructor and how she
has worked with young people for
years in developing and building
character. The older the pupils,
the greater their appreciation of her
work. He also spoke of our splen-
did teachers in general. He congrat-
ulated the class, with the hope that
they raise high their skyline, and
concluded with the poem This Is
My Task"
Instrumental music was furnished
by the school orchestra; the choral
club sang two selections; the girls
sextette number, and the congre-
cation, with Mrs. Twyla Edwards,
leading, sang America, The Beau
tiful," and go Love That Will Not
Let Me Co." Rev. d. G. Holman
of the Main Street Church of Christ
gave the invocation and read the
scripture. The benediction was by
Rev. G. A. Moore, of the Malta
Methodist church.
