BOOST FOR YOUR HOME TOWN VOL. I—No. 6 THE CLIFFSIDE NEWS B. E. ROACH Editor PROF. CLYDE A. ERWIN, Associate Editor The Cliffside News is published each week in connection with The Forest City Courier. News items, subscriptions, job and ad. orders, can be left with Editor B. E. Roach at his office in Cliffside, and will receive prompt attention. YOU AND YOUR JOB If you like your job, you are the right kind of a person in the right place, you don't like it, it is not the fault of the job. It is because you have the wrong- job or are holding it the wrong way. If you consider yourself only a hired man, you will never get higher. But if you determine to hold your job with a real honest pride in the work, nothing will keep you from getting a better job. If you think you have a poor job—why, then you'll make a poor job of it. The folks in this world who win are those who are in love with their jobs. There was much homely sense in the inscription on a Montana tombstone over the de ceased, who liked his earthly job: "Life ain't in holding a good hand; but in playing a poor hand well." You can learn to like any kind of a job. If you have earnest pluck to learn the most thorough way to do it, you will make it provide you a living—and, perhaps, it will be the start to great things. If you don't find happiness in your job, you will never find it in this world, If your job seems dreary drugery to you, it is better for you to get a new job. Courtship makes a fellow spoon; marraige makes him fork over. Did you ever know a rich young woman to marry a poor old man? Some men never achieve great ness because they can never make up their minds as to the sort of greatness they prefer. Courtesy is like the air on the inside of a tire. There may be nothing to it, but still it eases many a jolt and saves many a rup ture. In following a good example please bear in mind that there is a dif ference between an imitation and a parody.

SCHOOL NEWS NOTES On Friday, May sth, the Cliff side public schools will close for the summer vacation. The closing of this term will mark the ending of the best school that ClifFside has ever had. Beginning last fall, a little late, because of the un finished building, the teachers and students entered into the work with an enthusiasm and an earn estness that has produced wonder ful results. This school spirit is the true Cliffside spirit of co-op eration and determination. A bet ter corps of teachers could - not have been found anywhere, and the students join together in ex pressing their appreciation of the splendid opportunities presented them for securing an education. Our closing exercises will consist of only a play. The different grades have given programs along during the term. Next year we hope to have a graduating class, and of course the exercises that go with it, but this year, Friday night, May sth, at 8 o'clock, we invite the pubilc to our play, "The Old Fireside," given by the stu dents of the Sophomore and Jun- CLIFFSIDE'S OWN HOME PAGE, UNDER DIRECT MANAGEMENT OF CLIFFSIDE EDITORS ior classes.

COLLINS' SERMONS "We look at the other fellows' faults through a magnifying tele scope, and then look at our own selves so cross-eyed that we fail to see the faults in us." "We need to see ourselves as God sees us, and if we did it would take some of the conceit out of us." "The devil is like a spider. He does not catch and bind us fast at first, but sets his trap, or snare, and t allows us to get entangled. The spider makes his web and then retreats to watch and when a .fly gets entangled he comes out from his hiding and begins to spin his web about the victim to make him more secure." "The gossiper and backbiter is not as large as a goober-pea." "Why beholdest the cigarette in thy son's mouth and considerest not the cigar that is in thine own iriouth." "Sin not only blinds but grips and binds, zz in the case of Sampson. Jesus came to jive sight and loosen the bands thr.t bind us." "Jesus only asks to give up that which is harmful and damning to ourselves. Is that unreasonable?" "The fellow who hides behind a hypocrite is smaller than the hypocrite, for that which hides a man must necessarily be larger than the man who hides." If you want a thing- bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes* you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold things tawdry and cheap for it; If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all your terror of God or man for it, If you'll simply go after that thing you want, With all your capacity, Strength and sagacity, Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain Of body or brain Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and . grim you besiege and beset it, You'll get it!—Berton Braley.
