Permanency makes for business. No

anyonp be happy. We wish that more
of our people would settle down and
take their share of life's knoks and
build their lives and characters into
the splendid 06mmunity, which we
are determined to have. We don't
care where one goes he is going -to
have to bear his part of the unpleas
ant things of life. The more settled
and stable a man makes his life the
fewer and lighter will be his knocks
rather he will have more reserve
character with which to stand the
strain. Think it over and see if we

for us and show more courage and
manliness to face our diffi

to think- that np man ever came t
any thing but regret that has given
away to those temptations which bid
him-get even. Forget it. A man
should never be ashamed to #wn he
has been in the wrong, It is but say
ing in other words that he is wiser
today than yesterday. Anyhow, don't
forget to forget yourself and re
member the other person. There is
more happiness in it if you are man
enough to try.

LAST STORY ABOUT

"A Community Effort."
No peeople is great or good eriept
in character. Character is the prod.
uct of thcught. "Tell me what you

authority than man has said, "As a
ma-i thinketh in his heart so is he."
It is ideas and ideals that really gov. -

ative character is the result. It is
but one half of religion to live in
secret with God. The true man owes
to himself to give out to his fel

end of our effort is to bring to the
minds of our community the best
ideas and -:asa iof the day.' The
channels adopted-'are those throd'h

The' moving pictures are catching

of our people daily attend the picture

pictures has become the fifth largest
business in our country. They have

them there4s a chance of untold harm
and an opportunity for much good.
Where these shows are run for finan
cial profit there is a temptation to
yield to the popular demand whetter
that demand be for the best or not.
The moral sense of the. country is
being aroused to the peril from this
source. What all we do? Ban
them 'or convert them? We believe
the latter can be done, is going to b
done and should be done. There are
difficultieslto be overcome. Chie
