OrexoD, under the Act of !arch 2, lbTtt. HubbHURQ, GREtiON. I'ASSIXG OF A Some years ago wishing seemed to be a kind of popular fad. Many ancient superstitutions about wishes have been handed down. A good many people used to take tiie.se old superstitions rather btriou.sly and try by observing them to secure the good iortune promised by these old saws under certain conditions. In numerable people; for instance, have carefully saved the chicken's wishbone from the dinner table, and have registered their wishes thereupon with a kind of half faith that the same might come true. Tlio young crowd of 25 years ago were strong on wishing. Maidens would wish for lovcra, and boys would dream of business and athletic triumphs. Many people used to wish that they might find a sum of money in the street. People used to read dreamy and impossible books in which wonderful manifestations of good luck were being enjoyed by heroes and heroines. The readers thereof would start wishing for themselves, and long for unex pected gifts of fortune. It was an age of wishing, and people used to spend many hours longing for the unattainable. When these wishers had to come down out of the clouds of imagination j.nd do some real work, the world seemed a very cold place to ihem. The ancient philosophers sized up the wishing habit ac curately many years ago. They formulated the old proverb that "If wishes were horses, then beggars could ride." It is a true saying, for wishing is a kind of beggars trick. It is a bad habit for anyone to form the custom of wishing for benefits and bless ings unless with the wish there goes the determined resolution to obtain those advantages as the result of effort and merit. Tho present is a more practical age. People do net do much imagi native dreaming as they used to that good fortune does not come by luck and chance, that it does not drop down on them unexpectedly from the clouds, but that it is attained by work and study and the use of one's brain and wit. The world i:f full of opportunity today, but tin wishers and dreamers will have to content themselves with imaginary good iortune. The cost of all forms or cpvernment in this country, including federal, state and municipal expense, may be as much as f22."i for each family of four persons. A3 this sum would prob ably include the.cost of public schools, fire and police protection, etc.. well as the expense of military protection and the war !c ho country gels great benefits for its money. However, if t v.t sum of money were spent with the same efficiency that it- .. Iiicved by business corporations, better results could be had tor less. money. Kveiy citizen should think of himself as a stock holder in a great business concern which serves him and his family. He can not expect satisfactory dividends in the shape of food government, unless he devotes cfTort and thought to his duties as a citizen. Every time he votes for a poorly qualified man for public office, lie takes money out of his own pocket. 0 . The P,oy Scouts of this city go to Oakland this evening to r-how the youngsters of that city the advantages of being a scout. Every hamlet in the county should have a Boy Scout organization. It givi'3 most excellent training to the young and fits them early in life to assume the responsibility of important tasks. Scout train ing makes little men out of boys. It gives them something worth while to occupy their spare moments and is an important part of the foundation work for a successful career. Encourage your boy to become a Scout. It is a very common occurrence in this day and age for a man to deliberately kiil his wife. This method of disposing of a helpmate seems to be a popular pastime with a great many men. Willi a father capable of committing such crimes what can you expect of his children? No wonder this old world is busy at tempting to curb and punish a wide variety of delinquent young sters for evils brought upon them by the questionable character 01 their parents. Whole lot of "oil talk" going Tear Folks: Jimmy Morgan got a cinder in the corner of his eye and it teemed to lodge and stay there though he did his best to try and remove the pesky nuisance, so he called upon a friend in the hopes vith his assistance, the discomfort soon would end. There he fared but little better and said he "This makes me sick. I'll be blind if this continues for it feels just like a brick. There's a hospital right handy so I'll run along and see if some doctor can't ivmoxe it for the blamed thing bothers me." Then tho news began to travel of poor Jimmy and his eye, and it gained w ith every telling something r.ew, , iv and by foiks were sayin;: "Poor old Jimmy, did you know that he is blind'' At the l:o oital l e's .! i n' U li it I I 1 I 1- . . .. ,, "w ' 'o. ioe V" . anu too nail. 110 s ' (he one to tell lit- Mother?

There Is practically no drinking among our students." Harvard, Yale, Syracuse. Dartmouth, Michigan were In agreement. Says the writer: "Syracuse under the li quor regime was a city full of evil influences, against which the college authorities had to wage continuous warfare. There Is now not a trace of anything of that sort." Out of 6000 students there, two were known to be using liquor in 1922 and were expelled. Alumni of wetter days still make some trouble by bringing liquor with them to f dot ball games and reunions. Drinking among preseut students is negligible. Deans of women In sep arate and co-eduratlonal institutions both said drinking was too slight among women students to be worth considering.
