teams have got to meet, because the
boys will do all their stuff to win
from each other when they meet.

Civic Betterment Club
Wants Library Rest Room
in another column will be found a
blank petition which the 'Civic Better
ment Club is circulating with the in
tention of inducing the County Com
missioners to set aside the rooms now
occupied by the McKee Land Com

the purpose of a ladies' rest room.
It is intended that this room should
be fitted with a couch and mirrors
and
visiting women and children could be
accommodated. This, the club con
tends, can be accomplished at a mini
mum of expense and would prove of

For. no matter how yon shout it.
He won't hear a word about it
He won't know how many teard op

If you think some prabe is due him.
Now's the time to give it to him;
He can't read what's on his tombstoi e

For it gives his life a savor.
And it makes him stronger, braver.
And it gives him heart and spirit to the

Let the words of true encouragement he
