NEWS .=== OF INTEREST IN THE SOCIAL REALM SO THE WORLD GOES Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow it’s mirth; It has troubles enough of its own. Sing! and the hills will answer; Sigh and it is lost on the air; The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve and they turn to go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not want your woe. Be glad and your friends are many; Be sad and you lose them all; There are none to decline your nectar ed wine, But alone you must drink life’s gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by; Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must file on Through the narrow aisles of pain. —New Haven Register. Bridge Club !

John M. Slaton, Governor, | By the Governor: A. H. Ulm, Secretary Executive Department. Suggestions For Clean-tip Week, April 5 to 12. 1. Take away all the ashes and trash from your back yard immediately. Send your rubbish to the dumping ground. 2. Suggest to several men with teams that they drive through the alleys with a sign, “Clean-up Wagon,” on their wagons; also a bell calling atten tion. People are only too glad to pay such a man for haul ing their trash away. 3. Burn all rubbish that will burn. Clean your vacant lots and alleyways. 4. Make your street and park ing look as trim and well kept as possible. 5. Refrain from throwing old paper, banana and orange skins into the streets. 6. Plant some grass and flow er seeds to make your home beautiful. 7. If your store front is dingy paint it. 8. If you have unsightly old buggies or traps in your back yard, remove them. 9. If there are unnecessary, unsightly, tumbled down sheds in your back yard tear them down. They detract from the beauty of your home and the town. Open spaces and fresh air are better. 10.
