THE TRUE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
It’s doing your job the best you can.j
and being just to your fellow
man; # i
It’s making money—but holding
friends, and staying true to
your aims and ends;
It’s figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking
high.
And dreaming a little and doing
much; (
It’s keeping always in closest touch
With what is finest in word and deed,
It’s being thorough, yet making speed
It’s daring blithely the field of chance.
While making labor a brave
It’s going onward despite defeat,
And fighting staunchly, but keeping
sweet;
It’s being clean and it’s playing fair;
It’s laughing lightly at Dame despair;
It’s looking up at the stars above,
And drinking deeply of life and love.
lt‘s struggling on with the will to win,;
But taking loss with a cheerful grin.
It’s sharing sorrow and woik and
mirth,
And making better this good earth;
It’s serving, striving thiu strain and
stress,
It’s doing your noblest
that’s success.

thoughts
The word thought needs no ex
planation; we all know what it is to
have a thought, but are we having
the right thought as we pass along
the way? Thought is our mental
food, are we masticating it thorough-;
Jjr? Correct thinking is the royal
path to learning and knowledge.
Undigested learning is as oppressive
as undigested food. Thoughts stim
ulate the brain as food stimulates
the body. To think merely for the
ake of learning is like eating mere
ly for the taste of food. To think
correctly and clearly is the aim of
ail mental training. Superiority o
riginates in habits of thinking. It is
not merely in reading, but in think
ing that gives you knowledge.
Some advantages of thinking are
to be able to tell truth from error.
To abolish wrong and fix in our
memory only what we best approve
of. The man who thinks correctly
will be able to express himself cor-j
rectly. Take away thoughts from the
life of man and what remains?
There Is a need to-day as never
befor of independant, right thinking.
Too many become enslaved to opin r
ions of others, especially in politi
cal matters. It behooves us to throw
off the shackles of opinion and walk
on pure thoughts, and well grounded
opinions of our own. Every man and,
woman ought to favor tl.eir time
with thoughts that will raise the
world to a higher degree of civiliza
tion and intelligence. In every un
dertaking we ought to ask ourselves
the question: Wl.at will the conse-
quences of it be to me? Am 1 likely
to repent of it Think before you
speak. Consider before you promise.
Take time to think. Thinking today
will prevent repenting tomorrow.
Think in the morning of what you
have to do. At night think of what
you have done. Correct thinking
beget eth correct habits. Evil
thoughts are dangerous enemies, and
should be dismissed from our
thoughts. Fill the head and heart
with good thoughts so there will be
no room for bad ones. “Think thou
on thy way.*’

CO-OPERATION
All progre/s to-day” depends on
fioresighted/co-operation. By prog
ress we mean improving the welfare
of our people.
What, would our schools today be
without 'the co-operation of both the
student and the patron? The ques
tion for us to consider is: How can
we advance the interacts of our
school, thereby benefiting every one
in it? If we can have the co-opera
tion of every one, we can accom
plish wonders, but without it we can
do but little.
In the question, “What can we do
to boost our school?” First let us
take as our motto, ‘‘Boost, don't
knock,” for it is the knockers that
kill enterprises and destroy the hopes
of the people'. They throw ice-wa
ter on every suggestion for advance
ment, and see failures in every en
enterpri.se before it is established.
That class of men sped ruin for ev
ery place where they are located,
and the farther they can be pushed
to the rear the better off we, the
boosters, shall be.
The future of this school rests in
our hands, and by foresighted co
operation much can be accomplished
here. There is no reason why this
school should not be one of the best
and largest in Madison county.
And if we will all pull together
and in the right direction, we will
make Colbert High School one of
the best in the county, but if wej
lack co-operation, success will be
out of the question.
So lets everybody work together
as one and not for our own selfish
ends.
Come on everybody and let’s
boost our school.—
Edwin and Paul Hart, “25”.
THE K.SND OF A TOWN WE
WOULD LIKE OURS TO BE
—A Moral Town.
—A Town where every man is pa
triotic and shows it by keeping his
premises neat and clean.
A Town with churches well at
tended and where the pastors are
reasonably fair.
—A Town where each citizen is
made to feel that he is needed in
every movement of importance no
matter what his financial standing
may be.
—A town whose citizens never
say “they” but always “us”.
A Town with faith in itself and
its fellows ; with a future and a vim
to make its dreams come true.
—A Courteous Town, one that
pleases strangers and gives them a
pleasant reminder of Southern hos
pitality.
—A regular go-getter Town with
a vision of work to do and a place
in the harness for me.
Our citizens are responsible for
the conditions, good or bad, and it's
up to them to purify and make clean
the morals of the community. Slack
ness and lack of interest will soon
lead to immoral conditions and a
disregard for the laws and their en
forcement. Let the law abiding cit
izens control by asserting their
rights as good citizens and see to
it. that conditions in the community
are always made fit for the protec
tion of society anti good government.
—Woman’s Club.
“THE EVER FLOWING STREAM”
To find the ever flowing streams
of Life we must travel the road of
self-denial, sacrifice and determina
tion. Having as our helpers on this
road our friends and teachers. But
: the success of our journey down the
stream of life depends upon us. Be
ginning with school, if our time is
well applied and our teachers good
imtructors, the moulding processes
of life will have begun to move rap
idly and to draw into its stream trib
utaries whose gradual additions will
make a powerful force of the life
which started out so very small.

TEN MEN AND A THOUSAND
ONE OAK, $4,000
W. L. DOUGLAS, BUILDER
DEMPSEY AND DEFENSE DAY
Very good news for the United
States is this:
The President is considering the
relative value of battleships and
airplanes.
Those that sell battleships at
forty million dollars apiece will tell
the President that the country can t
survive without plenty of battle
iihipßi
Manufacturers of hansom cabs
would also have said a little w'hile
age, that the taxicab couldn’t be a
real success.
Before the President builds an
other battleship let him ask the
builder this question:
“Are you willing to build that
ship for forty million dolars and
guarantee that it will be afloat ten
hours after being attacked by one
hundred thousand dollars’ worth of
fighting airships?”
If the President discovers, as he
will, that a hundred thousand dol
lars’ worth of airships, manned by
ten men, can destroy any forty-mil
lion dollar battleship with more
than a thousand men on board, he
will decide not to build battleships.
Governor Pinchot has signed the
death warrant of a young colored
woman who killed a colored police
man and pleaded self defense. She
will be the first woman executed in
the State of Pennsylvania in thirty
five years. Governor Pinchot signed
the death warrant when he was in
the hospital. When he comes out,
entirely recovered, it may occur to
him that putting a negress to death
instead of locking her up is small
business for a great State.
The question is not “Does she
deserve death?” It is “Does Penn
sylvania deserve disgrace?”
There are now regular quotations
for counterfeit notes. The average
price is $25 for SIOO worth of bogus
pdis. Too market is stabilized by
the demand for such money, used
by bootleggers in buying liquor
from the rum fleet, sent by our
British brothers.
Tho managers of the boats are
good bootleggers, but not familiar
with American money, and many,
it seems, have been taking bad
money for worse whiskey—which
seems fair enough.
A Presbyterian, church in New
Jersey spent $4,000 in one year,
taking care of a huge oak 400
years old. The oak may be worth
it. But that sum would have
planted several thousand new trees
along New Jersey roads. Or, if
you don’t resent dragging in reli
fion, it would have done a good deal
o help some of those “little ones"
that are supposed to be more Im
portant than masy oaks.
Above the base at Quantico, Va.,
flying machines are practicing, and
on the ground our honest 1). S.
Marines, in deep amaaement, "ob
served that a flock of buzaarda,
after watching the aviators, imi
tated all their flying tricks in the
air.’*
You remember the gentleman
with his house on fire who gath
ered in his arms all the furniture
he could carry, finally picking up
the baby with his teeth fastened in
the little dress.
As he lifted the baby he saw a
cat walking across the floor hold
ing a kitten in her mouth, and said,
“Look at the wonderful imitation of
that cat.”
W. L. Douglas died in Boston
last week. His name will be re
membered among the builders of
great industry, among those that
helped to free humanity from slav
ery. by making machines do the
work of human hands.
He began life driving pegs in
shoes for his uncle. He lived to
make machines do ihe work of
thousands of human beings and
distributed American-made shoes
throughout the world.
Those that consider Preparedness
and Defense Dry a menace to peace
please notice this:
.Tack Dempsey is prepared. If
you doubt it, pull h's nose. As he
goes through thick crowds every
body knows him. everybody is
POLITE. Nobody slaps him or in
sults him. and lie does not hit or
insult anybody. HE’S PREPARED
and people let him alone. He lets
them alone unless they get in the
ring with him.
As it is with individuals, so with
and people let him alone unless they
nations. When they are prepared,
they hue* peace.
