J THE INDEPENDENT February U, 192 X. • — t INSTRUCTION IN TEAMWORK. Our public school system has been established primarily to fit the youth of the land for good citizenship, lits most important function lies in class loom work. Buildings are erected, teachers hired, equipment installed in order that young people may receive the mental training necessary to make them intelligent and valuable citizens of the community. But because there are many tn-ings for young people to learn besides what they can acquire out of text books, we are ready to put ourselves on record as being heartily in favor of high school athletics. Whenever we see the members of our high school basketball squad in action wo always feel like shouting, "Go to it, boys. It is an important part of your education." । And then wo always pause and feel that the work of the Coach and his squad should be regarded as a course in teamwork and loyalty. The boy who goes through a hard season’s work with the team learns thau ihe work of the team is more important than the spectacular playing of individual stars, he learns the value of co-operation, he comes to suppress his desire for personal honor for the good of the team as a whole. He learns that the group is inore important than any individual. > He also learns the value of loyal- ' ty—-learns it in a sort of subconscious way, for it takes loyalty to the school and loyalty to the town to go out and work hard day after day and then stand ready to fight to the last bit of energy for the honor of his school. And every older man . knows that this loyalty learned in school may carry a man a long way along the road of success later in life. I There are other important lessens that the coach is indellibly impressing upon the minds of his wards. He is teaching them to become good sportsmen, never to take unfair advantage of an opponent, to play the | game according to the rules in I short to become good American I citizenx These are a few of the reasons why wo are in favor of high school athletics, and all in addition to the fact that we enjoy a good basketball game as well as every other normal person. w VBRAHA^I LINCOLN 1 Comb the pages of history, study carefully the intimate details of the •; lives of the world s great men. sop how they were regarded by both ’ friend and foe. Then turn back to 1 your life of Abraham Lincoln. The contrast will be interesting. You will seo that tint prophet produced by the backwoods of early eighteenth century Mid-West was among the greatest of all men win ; e ' deeds ant r< corded in history. Few indeed were tint leaders who vwon the respect, yes, the low. of foe; ’ as well -as friends. And few there j were who so placed the common I we!far - abox i personal ambition. Volumes o* inspirational matter h- •< been written about tho back-

woods rail splitter who raised himself to a position of immortality in history. Comparatively little has been said about the man whose sense of duty to the Republic ho served was so great that ho placed political ‘nemies in his cabinet, because he felt that their ability and vision were needed during tho times of stres.'i under w-hich he served. Here we find one of the greatest of all lessons to be learned thru a study of his life. He surrounded himself with able men. He heeded their advice. But he accepted all responsibility and made all final decision! himself. His early life furnishes inspiration for youth needing'an example to direct ambition. Hia public career furnishes an ideal for statesmanship that will stand as long as this Republic endures. When the great American epic is written, Lincoln will be its central character, | “WHOSE ON IS GORED?” The Ledger is in receipt of a protest to the National Association of Manufacturers against Uncle Sam’s interest into the field of manufacture or power development as unfair to private industry, which is compelled to pay taxes and insurance while Uncle Sam rides free, monarch of all he surveys. The protest is well founded and its premises are entirely just and true. BUT—It certainly makes a whale of a difference "whose ox is gored." We wonder how many wealthy members of the National Association of Manufacturers are using govern-ment-printed. envelopes, which are issued in direct competition with American printers and publishers the country over, who pay taxes, insurance, rent, interest, wages and all other expenses to which private industry is subject, and whose protests against this same unfair competition have fallen upon deaf ears for 10, these many years? What’s the difference? Why appeal to tho printers whose just petitions for fair play you have so long and persistently ignored? Hav you forgotten the age-old principle, "Sauce for the goose is sauofor tho gander?” Before assuming tho role of injured innocence, take a look at yourself in the mirror and correct the flaws in tho picture, come to tho bar of justice with your own minds clean! I,oweH (Mich.) ledger. “Remember The Maine!’ 1 Thirty years ago tho whole United States rang with a new battle cry. It wa ; "Remember the Maine'" anil it was with that slogan that we started tho war with Spain, which was destin <1 to be our shorte<t war and most, brilliant-won victory. February 15 is the anniversary of tho event which gave u- that war my, for it was on Feb. 15. 18f*s. that tl. i battleship Maine was blown up in the harbor of Ravanna. Cuba. That disaster proved to be a turning point in American history. If you would know why it was such, be sure to rend tho illustrated fiatur article. '•Remember the Main !" by Elint Sc: tt W atson in this issue. f An attorney had just won a case for his cousin. ‘ I really don’t know how to express mj appreciation," said th.। cousin. "Well, you see.” answered the lawyer, “since the Phoenicians invented money a man does not have to worry over that question any more." At a recent church wedding in Argos a baby shrieked without intermission to the great annoyance of tho guests, etc. As the briday party was leaving tho edifice a slight delay occurred. One of th • guests seized the opportunity to soy tc the first bridesmaid: “What a nuisance babies are. at a wedding!" Y s, indeed,” answered the bridesmaid, angrily, "when I send out the invitations to my wedding I shall have printed in the corner, "No babie.- expected.” Telephone Tali-; The telephone, it is said, is not making much progress in Russia. And no wonder. Fancy a man going to tho phone and shouting: “Halloa, ia that you Dvisostkivchsmartzoiczski?” ‘No, it’s Zollmn Uhouska JrnockstiffsgewofL Who i.i speaking? ‘ ‘ Sezimochockiertrujauksmzj kischokemoff. I want to know if Xliferomanskeffs kilma juwschast t waeksweibierski is still stopping with Dvisostkivhsmatvoiczski? A boastful New Yorker had been admitted to heaven and was descanting about Niagara Falls. A little old man near by sniggered at him. “Perhaps, sir,” exclaimed the annoyed New Y'orker, “you don’t think eight million cubic feet a second is r. lot of water? Might. I ask your name?" “Certainly,” said the oth< •, amiably, “I’m Noah." “Did you put your dime in the collection?" “No mother. I’m sorry; I lost it." “But this is the fourth Sunday you've lost it." "I know, but that other kid’s luck certainly can’t last forever.” A man is Plymouth, says the Pilot had considerable trouble in arousing his son ir the morning during tho summer months, and last week grew tired if his persistent efforts and stole upstairs while it was still dark and administered a good sound spanking. Returning to the kitchen he informed his wife what ho had done, and said, “I guess after this he will get. up for I made it smart.” “Well, that, settles it,” said hiri wife, “we will have to get another girl. Will staved with his grandmother last nieht and I had the hired girl occupy his room.” Tho man has not been up town since. That’fi Different Teacher—-Gas is an invisible and । intangible element; that is, it cani not be seen or felt. Johnny—That’s funny! I often

• hear pa say ho stepped on it. i Teacher—“ls it true that heat expands bodies and cold contracts i them?’’ Pupil—“ Yes, sir." । Teacher—•“ Kindly give us a dem i castration of this truth.” Pupil—“For example, well, days are longer in summer and shorter in : winter.” In Memphis, a colored man was on trial for felony. The judge asked him if ho desired an attorney. | “No, sah,” said Sambo. 'Us gwine to frow mahse’f on de ignorance ob de cou’t.” 1 I “Our garage man has a fine radio set, mamma.” “What makes you think that, ! dear?” “Why, I heard him say that he would get hell when he went home tonight." 1 paper out in northwestern Kansas tells of a pious old farmer who has tho habit of gazing at the rafters in the dining room when saying grace. One day when so engaged he forgot himself and his grace sounded something liko this: “Wo than sc then for this food and by Joe there’s that darned gimlet I’ve been looking for tho last six months. I’ll have Jim go up there and get it. Thou hast been gracious to us. o Lord, and again wo thank thee. Amen! ” : I Atwater ■ Kent^J : j c kADfe Model 37 ... 6 tube. Our. D ia !
