"Nothing li Impossible"
Some great philosopher once taid
that nothing is impossible. Kxpen-
enre however teaches us to em-
phatically disagree with the propo-
sit ion. In support of our contention
we want to know if you have ever
tried
To carry a mattress upstairs.
To find out what a woman is
thinking about.
To write with a postoffice pen.
To sleep In a hammock.
To rave ten per cent of your in-
come. To swim a mile with your arms
full of eels.
To rest quietly in a bed of ants.
To find bow some guys get along.
To lonk innocent on the witness
stand.
To choke a wildcat with hot but-
ter. To piny a slide trombone in a
rlothca closet.
To enjoy near beer.
To get soup bone from the butch-
er for nothing.
Ska Caught Him
The young lady confronted him
with flashing eye.
"What did you mean" ahe de-
manded "by kissing me as I lay
asleep in the hammock thia morn-
ing?'' "But" protested the youth "1
took only one."
"You did not" she retorted. "I
counted at least seven before I
awoke."
Recollections
( From Judge by rctical)
U'e sat in tho Hector's g-irden and
whI hi d the kids at play
Digging their tiny trern ties and
earth-works made of lay;
Spoiling the grass with wire from
old discarded toys
To tangle the feet of heroes who
still arc little boys.
t
Thp missiles they used wire harm-
less but thi y called them deadly
shells
They seemed to know that modern
war's a thousand kind of shells;
They (Jug in the ground for shelter
then over the top they wen?
Like troops at t h dawn's first
glimmer to death or to victory
sent.
I g!aniil at the Rector furtively
and saw bis eyes grow dim
And I felt the tears on the cheek
of me as 1 tried to smile at him;
For I knew that he had a vision
beyoml the lawn and trees
Of what we had seen where War
wa real when we were oversea.

CONCERNING INTFRSCHO-
LASTIC LEAGUE MEET
Judging from tho number of in-
q i.rii's being made at the o'f'ce of
t'c Dis'riit Director Gen'xil for
the Inters holastir l.encoe. it n;-
rcar that an unusually large num-
ber f schools are grooming their
s"deTit for the ('minty Contest
hic h are to be held prior to the
District Meet April 21-22.
For the most part there ha been
an Improvement made in thf prep
arstinn of pupil for the various
county contest. When the Lcatrue
as first organised the teacher
never begsn their work with the
children until a few weeks before
the contests were railed; but now it
seem that the preparation fr these
contests i becoming regular part
of the school work and well worked
out plan are made month tn ad-
vance. This ia a commendable
feature and should be universal?
adopted among the schools.
Opportunity isn't a steady knock
