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. —Berton Brayley ir\ Sovereign Visitor 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.*’ Agnes Benton. *'27'’ From THE TAN ACER, Colbert High School Paper. • - .... . . 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. —Hiram Hampton “26” From 7HE TANAGER, Colbert High | School Paper. t THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOk.

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.

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.
