RIDDLE A robin builds her nest. In the purple haze of a lilac tree. To fields of budding clover. Wings the drowsy humming bee. All nature lives, moves and grows, Stirring life's sweet mystery of love. To feel some divine event. Exulting etherial heights above. Hope, a star through years be tween, Has gleamed, that life might full er be. Whispering to the listening ear of love. The promise—immortality. The Boys Had Large Time While In N. Y. The following appeared as head lines in the Daily Mirror; “C. C. Poindexter Arrested For Gangster Tactics. Poindexter Caught Throwing Bums, Attached to French Rolls.” Gavin Dortch was master of ceremonies at the Night Club in which Henry Dobson did the clog dance. Mr. Dobson was asked to sign a contract for at least a year, but held out for more money. Hardy Graham spent most of his time in Macy’s Dispensary. You couldn’t buy but twelve quarts, so he didn’t buy any. Ezra Shamel enjoyed his trip very much. He brought back a few dimes for his baby’s bank. Tom Roth left Monday for Philadelphia. We couldn’t find out if he arrived there or not. Dick Chatham says the food was too fancy for him. He came home sick. Charlie Dixon and R. M. Og- burn were roommates. They kept what they did a secret. Mr. Ogburn gained ten pounds. The food agreed with him. The Man You Are It isn’t the man that you might have been Had the chance been yours again, Nor the prize you wanted but didn’t win That weighs in the measure of men. No futile “if” or paltroon “be cause” Can rowel your stock to par. The world cares naught for what never was— It judges by what you are. It isn’t the man that you hope to be, If fortune and fate are kind, That the chill, keen eyes of the world will see In weighing your will and mind. The years ahead are a chartless sea. And to-morrow’s a world away; It isn’t the man that you’d like to be, But the man that you are to-day. There’s little worth in the phan tom praise Of a time that may never dawn. And less in a vain regret for days And deeds long buried and gone. There’s little time on this busy earth To argue the why and how. The game is yours if you prove your worth. And prove it here and now! —TED OLSON. L. H. C. Club of Elkin A Lucy Hanes Chatham Club for the evening shift has been or ganized with fifteen members. A membership campaign was put on and Mrs. Beatrice Willard re ceived the blanket for getting the most members. A luncheon was held at the Blue Moon Cafe for the newly organ ized Club on Thursday, March 22, at 2 o’clock. The Easter motif was carried out in detail. Dainty place cards were made of the Eas ter bunnies. The central decor ation was a large yellow rabbit in the green nest with the small bunnies and Easter eggs around the large rabbit. Bowls of jon quils interspersed with green made a lovely setting for the three-course luncheon served to the twenty guests. The program included a talk on “What the Club Has Meant to Me”, by Estelle Powers, former president of the morning club. Mr. Henry Dobson then told the Club just what such an' organization would mean to them in their work as well as in their homes.

Harry Daurheim says he likes to ride up town, but he doesn’t like pushing the car all the way up to Spruce street. An artificial thumb has been ordered for Hobson Shermer. He has worn his old thumb out, thumbing rides to lunch. We wonder if the following are racing to see which can gain the most weight.
