PRIDE AND MARTYRDOM
Consider the turkey fattening for

uffs himself and struts in impressive
nity across the barnyard—inflated
» pride in his breadth and depth of
chest and large hipmeasure. And the
tragedy of it is that those things con-
stitute his death warrant. The gifts
of which he 'is so proud doom him to
the oven.
Some may see in the gobbler’s
~ vanity a striking illustration of the
proverbial pride that is followed by a
Jigll. Others, who look at the matter
fairly, will see something more. All
who recall the last good turkey din-
ner served them must admit “that a
well-fattened gobbler has something

| Table to the table, to be set down in
any way a penalty of pride. In his

What jumps out of reach quicker

The height of ignorance is buying
"two neckties just alike.
What this country needs is socks

The burning question of the hour
is, “Who will get up and start the

When a woman plans a party the

Municipal pride is at its best when
a town first begins to worry about its

Our companion was he here.
I have ben asked to write an article
in memory of our late Squire, Mr.
George Malkemes. Many nice things
have been said of him, so I am choos-
ing a certain instance of which Harry
J. Ell also is aware. Mr. Ell, manager
of the Buena Vista building plot often
entertained the Squire in the office
when real estate was not moving, and
the generous-minded made
himself at home, as he always could
do, and he was just as precious in
church and home, too. We wappre-
ciated his visits, as he turned our va-
cant thoughts away from the
rounding hills and these instances
shone through the horror of the news
of the frightful accident which befell
him, and so soon after the creation of
those sociable ties. That night
brought its pangs of gried, equally
suffered with intimate friends of the
deceased. Our joy is in the thought
deceased. Our joy is in the thought of
extneding the memory of our late com
panion, that such a young man, so ac-
tive, so capable and so highly esteemed
shall ever live in the soul and spirit of
our town, and, for whom some kind of
a memorial should be proposed.

DEER HUNTING
The small number of deer that have |
been killed so far this season is quite |
surprising when one takes into con-
sideration the number of ‘deer,
of how many have been seen
about these parts lately.
Wesley Moore was the first Dallas
resident to announce that he was one
of the lucky ones. “Wes” couldn't
wait until he got home to spread the
glad tidings but immediately spent |
about two bucks for a telephone call
from Pike county to inform his Dad
oi his good luck.
Mr. Moore, Sr., told the writer about
it and upon going down Main street |
today saw the real goods, a fine seven-
pronged buck. “Wes hasn't done
‘much work since then, but is spending
his time telling the boys “how far
away it was and such a difficult shot
it was.” Never mind, “Wes,” it’s
something to be proud of.
stories”
NOT SO GOOD
Wednesday evening we noticed Jim
Oliver sliding into town but no buck
graced his machine. Possibly Jim had
it hiding under the seat. However,
Ji:n had a good alibi, as he was on
the driving end of the hunt, and didn’c
a chance to shoot. Better luck
next time, Jim.
CAN'T SEE EM.
J:m Besecker was out Monday and
part of Tuesday with a party of
hunters which included the Robinson
boys of Hays Corners. The woods
were full of deer but Jim couldn't see
them. However, late Tuesday after-
noon the Robinson boys brought down |
a fine buck. I guess the Gods of Vate |
didn’t want Jim to get anything over |
on his business competitor, the other

MANY KILLED AND INJURED
2t seems that almost every morning
the past week the daily papers have
been carrying nothing but casualties
of persons killed in the way of stories.
It seems that this year there are an
exceptionally large number of persons
killed while hunting deer.
CHRISTMAS TRADE SLOW
Christmas seems to be quite dead
this vear so far, and not only locauly
but in the valley, stores show very
little business. However, we look for
the next two weeks having much
brighter prospects for the local mer-
chats. We find that a goodly num-
ber cf radios are being distributed hy

SOME BASKETBALL TEAM
Jack Roberts is determined to or-
ganze a team of old-timers from
among ex-players who live in town
who have by this time taken on con-
siderable weight since the good old
Jack has ivsued a challenge to Po-
tory, and Rotary is seriously consider-
ing the acceptance of same, provided
they can scare up a team within the
club. President Jim Beésecker and
Secretary Thom Higgins are old stars,
y28, very old, and they still think that
they can draft three more members
to take a chance and pit ‘themselves!

we are safely landed how sorry we
all will be when we know that there |

Our grand ship, Laketon High, will
soon be lost to us and each of us
must walk up the gangplank to our
own individual ships and sail in dif-
ferent directions and perhaps on new
and different seas. But do not lose
courage; perhaps we shall all meet
again, and if so, I hope that each
and every one of us may again be
nearing the harbor of success. Never
give up, no matter what troubles may
confront you. Strive and work hard
but always wear a smile and conquer
all hardships in the future as you
have in the past four years of your
high school voyage.
Remember, when you are again
