FOB THOSE WHO FAIL
By Joaquin Miller.
"Ail honor to him who shall win the
prize.”
. The world has cried for a thous-
Jnjtfraiand years; V ' \ -
But to him who tries and who fails
'■ and dies ’
I give, great honor and glory and
- tears. ■ . •
“Give 1 : glory' and honor and pitiful
, , tears '
To all who fail in their deeds su-
■ blime;
Their ghosts are many in the van
.. i of years;
They were bora with Time in ad
vance of Time.
■ Oh, great is the hero who wins a
name,
But greater many and many a
time
Some pale-faced fellow who dies in
shame.
And lets God finish the thought
sublime.
And great is the fellow with a
sword undrawn;
And good is the man who refrains
from wine,
But the mad who fails and yet still
fights' on, ,
Lo, he is the twin-brother of mine.

Sheriff McGuffin has been very
nice, indeed, in putting off as long
as possible the “evil day” of en
forcing the law against operating
cars and trucks without license tags
for 1024. March 1st was the time
allowed in which to get tags, but to
further accommodate auto owners
the sheriff granted an extension of
thirty days or to April 1st, yet there
are those who have still delayed the
matter. To such the sheriff insists
that cars must be kept off the road
until tags have been secured, or a
receipt therefor produced, otherwise
he says he will take steps to see
that the law is enforced. You will
do yourself and the Sheriff also a
good turn to heed this advice.

Word is sent to us by Mrs. Leon
ard Peterman, wife of one of .the
county’s best farmers, that if- any
one believes that all of the boll wee
vils have been killed by ftie long,
hard winter, ihat. person is very
much mistaken. In rerhoving her pot
flowers from a pit, Mrs. Peterman
discovered that some of these pests
had been hibernating there for the
wiAter.
- Mr. J. T. Peterman had the mis
fortune some days ago of being
kicked by a mule on the right side
of his face near the eye. The acci
dent occurred while Mr. Peterman
with other gentlemen were inspect

arrived from- market. As a result of
his injuries Mr. Peterman was con
fined to his room several days while
suffering a great deal, but is able
to be out again, his friends will be
glad to learn.
MUSIC RECITAL
w
The recital given by Mrs. J.
W.
Edwards’ music class Monday eve
ning at the school building reflected
much credit on teacher and pupils.
The stage decorations were ex
ceedingly beautiful, boughs of peach
bTossoms against a background of
rich green firs was most artistic, an
‘ appropriate setting for the bevy of
pretty girls who' almost fille# the
stage during the choruses.
The reading by Miss Martin was
beautifully rendered and truly in
keeping with the program.
Mrs. Andrew Jones’ cornet solos
were indeed an acquisition, as
evinced by the applause of the au
dience. -The -vocal solo by Mrs. Ed
wards was also especially beautiful.

HOW ICE CREA M . CONES ARE
MADE.
Ice cream cones, fragile contain
ers of the sweets beloved of youth,,
are moulded and baked at the rate
of 2,000 an hour by means of a gas
oven nd seven-foot wheel.
The wheel lies upon its side, and
is built with 36 spokes, upon each
of which is a double iron mould.The
liquid batter is poured into the hol
low cones, a cone shaped plunger
automatically descends, pressing the
batter into its finished shape. The
wheel then revolves, carrying the
mould into the gas oven, which
bakes it evenly and quickly. The
wheel then turns forward another
spoke, bringing another filled mould
intp the oven while the finished cone
is removed.
