P . 1S. . Paint is not a
secret , patent or im ster-
ious compound. It is
simph an honest mixture
of those ingredients that
am good painter would
employ if he wanted to
make the best possible
paint. But even though
he used the highest grade
of materials throughout
his product would not be
quite as good as B. P. S.
Hand mixing cannot be
quite as thorough as ma
chine mixing and grind
ing. . P e r f ect formula ,
thorough m i x i n g and
grinding , gives P. B. S.

capacity and more dura
bility.

NOW AND THEN.
If you have never attended a
high school field meet you don't
know what it means to win. If
your blood Hews sluggishly and
von feel that you are growing old
just take a day olT and go to one
of these events. If the school
yells and the noisiness of youth
grates on your nerves and you
are intollerant of their antics , it
is because you are growing old
and are so far from yoilr own
boyhood that you have forgotten.
I saw the field meet last Satur
day and I enjoyed it , every min
ute of it. I have seen horse
races and ball games and prize
fights and foot ball games , but I
never had more fun , I never got
more excited , I never became a
stronger partisan and I never
wore my voice out more than I
did last Saturday.

Every event was bitterly con
tested. Every contestant strained
to his supreme efforts to win.
Falls City got off badly and lost
out in the first three events , but
with Yoder. Shock , Falloon , Mc
Dowell and Rodewald the game
s never out until it is played out.
Yoder won the mile race oompar-
itively easylie jumped in
front at the start and was never
lieaded Falloon ran fourth in
this event. The half mile race
came on with both Yoder and
Walloon pretty well exhausted
ind no ver } * great hopes were cn-
icrtaincd that cither would win.
Yet , it was ncccssar3' for Falls
itjT to get both first and second
to win the meet. There were
twelve starters in the race , some
of them fresh and eager. The
Palls City boys were dressed in
black , and it was by their cloth-
ug that we could distinguish
who they were for a t/ack suit is
an excellent disguise. Because
of Yoder's performance in the
mile some of the schools banded
together to see that he didn't get
in the lead. Consequently Au
burn agreed to pace Pawnee City.
That is , the Auburn man was to
take the lead and let the Pawnee
track trail him until the end and
remain comparatively fresh for a
gruelling finish. Yoder however ,
went to the front as soon as the
pistol cracked. He remained
there for several hundred yards
when the Auburn man shot by
him with the Pawnee man trail
ing. At the quarter mile one
man in a black suit was fourth
( Yoder ) and one was last ( Fal
loon i. The Falls City crowd in
the grand stand sat down and
talked about the windy weather.
Suddenly one girl who was cov
ered with old gold and black ribbons
bens screamed , "Look at Yoder. "
And look we did. The white
legs were moving faster and the
man in black went to third place
then to second and as they made
the last turn moved into first
place I don't know the local
yell and I don't know now what
I said , but I did my best with the
rest of the kids. All eyes were
on Yoder who was fighting it out
inch by inch with the Pawnee
man , when the girl with the
voice yelled again , "Look at
Falloon. ' ' He had swung wide
at the turn and was going by the
field like they were hitched. One
by one he passed them while the
crowd yelled in delirium. One
by one he forged ahead until he
was past Pawnee and at Yoder's
heels. Yoder thought Falloon
was the Pawnee man and his
efforts were redoubled. Falloon
didn't know that the man from
Pawnee was staggering like a
drunken man and was to pitch
forward on his face before reach
ing the tape , so he struggled on.
hack from the crowd came one
from Nebraska City and the three
with faces twisted in agony , with
their hearts throbbing to the
point of breaking and the lungs
pleading for air came to the fin
ish. They were running on
nerve , they had nothing else left.
Their faces were as white as
paper and the muscles were dis
torted. Yet the end was in front
of them and they battled on. A
foot from the tape Yoder hurdled
and his breast struck the line an
inch in front of Falloon , then
both boys fell to the ground ex
hausted and neither of them
heard the yells of their partisans
nor saw the crowds of anxious
friends who gathered about them ,
for they were all in. Back along
the track lay the rest of the field
for only three finished and Falls
ity had won.

Now a word about our people.
The team is excellent and worked
like beavers to win , but the root
ers were a rank failure- All the
other schools were organized and
sat together. They knew the
school yells and in unison they
sang their songs , but not so with
Falls City. They wandered about
in scattered groups , there was no
unison in there rooting and their
yell was pitifully weak as com
pared with other schools. This
is not as it should be , especially
with such an occasion for rooting.
Another thing is this ; all the
teams want the meets to be held
in Falls City for it is the most
central point , but this cannot be
accomplished until we have a
race track. Of course a race
track could be made the source of
other amusements , and we all
know how little there is going on
here , but there would be nothing
that our people would so much
enjoy as an Interscholastic track
meet.

Things We Do Not See.
A man who had recently been
in Europe was entertaining his
friends with stories about Paris ,
and.in . the course of his talk
mentioned several places which
were unknown to his listeners ,
although they had all frequent
ly visited the French capital.
"People go through the world
with their eyes shut , " was the
story teller's comment. A quiet
little man in the party then
said that even the most ob
serving people did not always
see , and , addressing the trav
eler , said'You : have read
the same paper daily for
thirty years. Do you know how
many columns it has on a page ? ' '
'No. " "You look at your watch
many times every day. Can you
tell me , is the six on its face a
Roman or an Arabic figure ? "
Why , Roman , of course. " And
he looked , and iouncl that there
was no "six" on his watch dial.
"All ot which demonstrates , ' '
said the little man , "that the
most observing do not always
see. " Ex.
Buy Tbe Park ,
The city should submit the
park proposition to the voters
without delay. The mass con
vention at which many of the
present officers were nominated
unanimosly passed a resolution
requesting the city authorities
to submit a bond issue for park
purposes. This mandate ex
presses the wish of the great
majority of our people and the
will of the majority should not
be defeated by a few knockers
and men afraid of tax.

G. A. building last week. The
