''FO~urd 70 Pressnf-DGy Negro Youth

BY John Henrik Clarke for AMP
Forward always forward, forward is the command;
Look not on dead yesterday,
At present battle is at hand,
Raise your voice in splendid tones,
So sleeping men can hearl
Don't be a backslider in the ranks,
Be pioneer
Don't hold behind your lips,
Words that you wish to say;
Rip your torch in the oils of courage;
Light it and lead the way.
know your burden is heavy
And your goal seems not in sight
Travel on with your heavy burden
And your weary road will lead to light.
Forward along life's rugged road,
Believing that right is might;
When the road dark ahead of you
Selfconfidence win be your light
Even if it seems that your weary path
Is hidden from the sun,
Never lay down your weapon
Until the battle is
Again, say, forward
Forward like fighting men,
Though life mountains are steep and rugged
With courage you ascend.
Forward with courage and confidence;
Other men will rise with eagerness,
To follow your fearless trail.

the ART OF MAKING
MARTYRS

BY WILLIAM HENRY HUFF
II you try too hard to down me
You might accidentally crown me
And put me on the upper shelf.
As q rule, that is a starter
In the making of a martyr
You're making one of me your
self.
II you think you are above me,
Shed that thought and try to love
me
And see what peace win follow
you.
Only wicked people hate me;
They, alone, would underrate me,
But, that Is what they cannot do.

convene in January. His bond
was fixed at $4,000.

Both youths were described as
being especially clean-cut and
from good families. Neither one
could give a motive for their ac-
tions.

ed that the department spent

the welfare of 63 children at a
cost of $946.
Aid to the blind for the month
was $181. Five persons are now
receiving blind pensions.
Clothing for homeless chill
dren, under the supervision OF
the department, cost $5.98.
A breakdown of relief costs
and cases by townships are as
follows: Beaver, two cases, $46;
Center, six cases, $129; Elk, three
cases, $67; Jackson, two cases,
SIT; Marion, three cases, $96.02;
Noble, ten cases, $255; Olive,
five cases, $135; Seneca, one
case, S25; Sharon, one case, $40;

time as they establish legal res
idence there. There is one other
out t-of-county case. The Wash
