CORDOVA BALL TEAM
WINS FROM SOLDIERS
The weather yesterday was ideal for
baseball and a large crowd gathered
at the park in the afternoon to witness
the contest between the U. S. S. Sa
turn and Cordova teams. Rooters from
the collier were there in force and
they did their best to cheer the "gobs”
on to victory, but the local team
pi>oved too much for the visitors and
won by a score of 8 to 6. The game
was sufficiently Interesting to hold
the attention of the fans and both
teams put up a creditable exhibition
considering it was their first game
this season.
Lottsfeldt did the twirling for Cor
dova and demonstrated that with the
proper support he is capable of hold
ing his own against most amateur
clubs. Several members of the regu
lar nine were missing and with the
addition of these a good team can be
selected for the Fourth of July game.
The score by innings follows:
Cordova .....0 0 5 2 0 1 0 0 #—8
Saturn .0 2 1 0 2 0 0 0 1—6
Those playing were: Saturn—Reed,

It is a striking fact that men in the same conditions
and environments ehtl'.usrastieally take wholly different
attitudes on the same subject. Among a number of men
working under the same conditions for the same pay on
the same job you will find some perfectly satisfied and
some wholly dissatisfied. As the outward conditions are
the same to all, there must be something in the men them
selves that makes this difference of attitude. Some men
are constitutionally obsessed with the feeling that this
old world is headed down hill to the bow-wows, and that
upon them has fallen the task of preventing the almost
inevitable catastrophe. There is another class that know
this is a good place to live and with all their five senses
are feasting upon the good things and rejecting that j
which is bad. It is the former that herd in mobs and
’ head riots; it is the latter that are the balance wheel of j
civilization, and prevent the machinery of organized
society from tearing itself to piecs. The former are the
malcontents, the nomads, the iconoclasts and professional
| agitators. The latter are the members of our churches,
the supporters of our schools, the patrons of our arts and
the owners of homes. The distinguishing difference be
tween these two classes of men is in their ability to select
and appreciate the things that are really worth while
in life. No one ever saAv home owners herding in mobs
or heading riots. The man who' owns his home enjoys
the ordered scheme of life. He instinctively knows it is
the only scheme that will protect his family and foster
that family influence that produces the type of character
that gets most out of life for the individual and does most
for the other members of society. The man who owns
a home or has the home-owning instinct is always a re
sponsible citizen and gets a satisfaction out of living un
known to the man who has no place that he can call his
very own. I
* Among men with the same advantages in life with
the same earning capacity and with the same earnings
you will find home owners and men whose names never
appear upon a registry of deeds. Each has spent his
earnings in his own way—the one for the things that
endure for a day—the other for a home, a place that is
his to have and to hold, a place upon which he can stamp
! his own individuality, a kingdom in which he is undis
puted monarch, a haven for his declining years, and a
monument when lfe is done. Any man who really desires
j to, can own a home. It may require saving and sacrifice,
but everything worth while must be striven for. The fact
that every foot of ground, every board in the walls,
i every shingle upon the roof represents a temporary
sacrifice and hard work, only adds to the enjoyment of
bis home.
Buy a home, work and pay for it, enter into a strata
of life you haven’t yet tapped and see how quickly your
foolish fears for the final finish of things will evaporate
and what a satisfaction ther is in being.
