Lean years are followed by loan years. Amon^ the big industries in this country today is that of making whoo pee, but the only dividends it pays are what might be had from a crop of wild oats. ' > Judging from the way local fisher men have taken to the ponds and streams since the coming of warm weather, there should be an increased demand for bamboo poles. v We see by the papers that Presi dent and Mrs. Hoover enjoyed a quiet Easter, and that King George and Queen Mary took Easter communion. Well, we did both but don’t see any thing in that to make such a fuss over. There are a set of malicious, prant- inff. prurient gossips, both male and female, who murder character to kill time, ind will rob a young fellow of his good name before he has years to know the value of it.—Richard B. Sheridan. * , Baseball Time! Some people call it Spring. We rail it "Btt'eball Time.” It’s marked by the growth of flow ers, the sonjfs of brids .and an ir resistible impulse in every man’s heart to “go out and do something.” Baseball time is here! The big teams are all ready for their battles. Men everywhere are already <n their local diamond*, hat ting dull care away. They are doing aomething. Strengthening their mus cles, intensifying their love of fair play. Playing. Just watch the excitement! Again we are to hear of the exploits of Qie heroes ol the diamond, again we are to thrill to the news of this or that home run. Again our minds are to In* given to the healthiest, happiest pastime yet inventei by man. We are a nation that knows how to play—which is the aame as saying that we know how to live. ( lean Up! Paint Up! That’s a great slogan of a great ■ijrtional nv*V*ment: “Clean Up! Paint Up! One week in April is always put maide for this worthy cause. People the country over are urged to he clean—to brush away the cobwebs in their homes, in their offices, and in their minds. Clean jup and paint up that health may be the ru’e and not the exception. Remember that cleanliness is next to Godliness. National Clean-Up Pairt-Up Week i* promoted by a national organiza tion that has nothing to sell—its aim is merely to promote greater clean liness in towns and cities. It is as high an aim as any organiza tion can have—for cleanliness means health and happiness. And health and happinc-s are the twdn blessings of life. Clean Up! Paint Up! Not only your surroundings—give some thought too, to the cleanliness of your mind and body. Resolutions cf Respect. / » By Albert T.
