MAWlM’) Lenten Thoughts Whether or not one observes the church sea son of Ixnit, there is a certain element in that ob servance that ought to enter ever}’ Iffe, and a per son’s nature will be lacking if it does not respônd to that sentiment. s • The great fàult of our human nature is its absorption in material things. We hurry and scurry from one däT to the next, intent on our work and our pleasures, until these aspects of life seem to crowd out everything else. Many of us seem to have forgotten, or never to hâve realized, that there is anything in the universe more than what we càn see immediately around us. But as Shakespeare said through one of his characters, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy, The Lenton season was created tô check for a time this dominating demand of m aterialistic as pects on our attention. It dwells 'upon abstinence and sacrifice, on the idea th at when the body gives up something of fleshly satisfaction, and the mind is content to got along without some of the joys of sense, the spirit will be more open to the higher suggestions. The Lenton period calls for sacrifice, aJnd this warns against the selfish principle of seeking only for enjoyment. The motto of this agescenis to he to have a good time. people hurry through tlieir work in order to meet their material needs and provide themselves with the means b can freely purchase their pleasures. They look to the sjiorts and diversions of the period as the chief end to he sought after, and, their whole minds and hearts are centered on these satisfactions. The Lenton spirit says that this is unnatural and contrary to the higher spirit of man, and that it will be a useful thing to set bside these thoughts l o r a time, and see if we can not find Congress Goes Home The 69th congress has finisliecl its work and gone home, and there seems to be no general de mand to have an extra session of the new 'con gress called. There are plenty of things that need to be done and could be done, and yet tlie ma chine of hnsineas runs quite as smoothly when the lawmakers are not stirring up any new excitement.. I t will be generally admitted that the congress just adjourned has not accomplished any great body of important legislation, though many useful things have been done. Before we get congresses that will run the country in a thoroughly efficient manner, there will have to be a very considerable change in the point of view of the people. They must become keener students of political problems and more intelligent about them, so that when the lawmaker»? fail to do what they should, they will meet with a powerful reaction at home. Good Listeners » President Coolidge is said ' to be a very good listener, and mueh given to starting his visitors to talking, and learning what he can from them, and as we all know, very slow to express his own opinion. The ability to listen well has been the basis of many successful careers. There are two kinds of good listeners. Some listen because they have nothing particular to say, and they get through their social contacts more easily to, let someone else do the talking. And then there are soin^ who are so keen after information, so anxious to get the bottom facts about everything, th at their main idea when they meet people, is to find out what they know, and absorb the cream of whatever wisdom they have. A listener who works on that plan, is bound to see pretty far into the inside of things^ --- A Baltimore man says his wife spent $50,000 in trying to reduce. She certainty wnceeeded as far as the bankroll was concerned. A1 all the wind in the Senate (which, you’ll have to admit, is no inconsiderable zephyr) couldn’t sway either Need.

British radio engi neer, says that Rude, a little town In Cornwall, England, Is the best radio reception spot In the world. Ameri can stations are received reg ularly there and all contin ental stations come in clear ly. “Through a cabse lh a t has never been explained, reception at Rude exceeds that of anywhere else that I know. Ten miles from there Is an actual dead spot.’’ he said. If you quarrel with a man who won’t answer back, you lose ev An epigram Is not much good unless you can turn It around and give It the contrary meaning. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Mar. -Ace Hudklns, Nebraska mid dleweight boxer, refused Wednesday to accept the |.3,- 000 fight forfeit posted by Bert Collna, whom he defeat ed Tuesday night. Colima failed to make 150 pounds, the agreed weight for the match and the forfeit was Hudkln’s for the asking. Hudklns turned down the money, saying that he had never accepted a forfeit. It Is an open question who gets the least out of money—-those who have too much or those who have too little. Hez Hock says: /F ifty per cent o’ health Is knowln’ whnt to eat. and the other fifty per cent Is Jlst plain behavin’ yourBelf.’’ The boys are getting ready (or their trans-Atlantic air plane hops. But cheer up, girls, the water will warm Up pretty soon. A New York man Is get ting ready to run across country to San Francisco. Why stop at Frisco? A British woman, author ity on anlnrals. claims the horse Is the dumbset of creatures. Three cheers, men. Crime would fall off If the people would start paying on their own homes, says a Michigan builder. The English people are not drinking -Ohough, according to the undergraduate maga zine at Oxford University. Maybe prohibition .would help pome. The Senate quit busting and went to filibustering. Maybe the session of Con gress Just ctosfed could be ap propriately called a bust.— Webster says a filibuster is an attempt to delay leglsla- tloU by "dilatory motions or other artifices.” The voters will be glad to know they’ve sent dilators to Washington Instead of legislators. TURNING THE PAGES BACK ASHLAND ASHLAND 10 Years Ago 20 Years Ago Hoard nnd Overheard— Fred Herrin, who makes his headquar ters at Grieve’* cigar Htore when not training his Russian wolf hounds. says that he is not the only coyote-killing demon In the country, as Ben Bowers ran Into a heat of them Friday killing three and letting one outrun him.

The quarters today were some thing like a guard room, all of us hd our eyes on the window. Andy was entertaining "Sol." Ev ery once In a while you could hear him damn a Jack or a queen that turned up at the wrong time, or failed to zhOW up When want ed. Chuck was reading “The Hangman’s HbhUe,” kttd every now and then the thread of the story would be broken for him, as Andy or I would be lost as well as the Interest In the char acters of the nook. Then a pin ochle game would start. There must have been some bad feeling between the players as Andy wouldn’t stand for Chttch playing the same ace twice, atld Chuck objected to Andy making more than three pinochles In one deal. Altogether I think they really en joyed themselves. Throughout the day I couldn’t help but wonder what the out side world was doing and think- lug, and that brought my mind nack to the phone. I began to think of places that It m Ight be broken. There was a chance 'that the wire might be pulled In two where It crosses the tUnt houses. We went out and dug Itou t of the r.now ahd ice for a ways. Sure enough, the weight of the snow had pulled it in two within ton feet of the first tent house.
