NEW TANGENTS
Recently Borger has added
new tangents to her commu-
nity life which promise lo
grow and to produce a harvest
of nioral and spiritual men
more capable oi rendering
service to mankind. To those
caught in the web of a mon-
ey-mad world, these develop-
ments mean little. 1 o those
who can still see and feel the
presence of an urge to help
the other fellow, the tangents
to Borger's industrialism have
a distinct appeal.
During the summer months
two Boy Scout troops were or-
ganized here and at Phillips
camp. To this organization
some sixty boys between the
ages of 12 and 16 are learn-
ing to be useful, to be clean
morally and to have some re-
gard for those with whom
they are associated. Records
a few years ago showed that
not a man behind prison walls
had ever worn a Scout badge.
Right living is taught in the
form ot a game in Boy Scout
work, and the youth likes it.^
TTerf days ago a public li-
brary was initiated here after
club women had worked for
months to obtain sufficient
funds. The library is not only
ill existence but is fast becom-
ing a recognized factor in con-
structive consumption ot spare
time. Our library is a tangent
which will take root and grow
with the years. We should
k6ep it nourished by use and
by advertising its merits
wherever we go.
Girl scouts organized last
Saturday "To teach American
girls the true conception of
womanhood." Like the Boy
Scout organization, this move-
ment is capable of great ser-
vice. A lending hand might do
a lot of good in cultivating a
group of high type women.
Churches of Borger are in
the midst of a great simulta-
neous revival meeting. -Reli-
gious'groups are uuitiivg uv-u
service which will help great
numbers of men and women
to be of greater service. Reli-
gious influence has always
been felt here, and now it is
growing steadily to reach the
position in our city which its
purpose commands.
We have excellent schools,
although they are badly
crowded. We have civic club
for men and study clubs for
women. Kadi ot these groups
has a part to play in the ser-
vice to the community. Kvcry
word of encouragement, every
act toward betteviug present
organizations and every step
in -promoting new enterprises
broadens those who are far-
sighted enough to realize that
we are living for the go id of
our neighbors and the devel-
opment of our city. No other
code of living is successful.
GETTING INTERESTED
Occasionally we find a man
or woman who has not learn-
ed to accept resopnsihlity.
These persons live like misers
in that they bottle up within
themselves the good which is
instinctively their virtues.
They seem to be troubled with
a strange disease which has
grown from lack of faith and
understanding.
The man or woman who
fails to accept responsibility
in work or in the home soon
drifts out into fields of crime,

Journalist Sees Russia
Abandoning Revolution
Others harbor a sort of self
pity and are miserable crea-
tures.
To suggest a remedy for1
this great evil is an easy task, j
To effect a cure would be to |
add thousands of leaders to
the ranks of men.
Get interested in something.
No matter what it is as long
as it is honorable, we all
should have something in life
which makes us forget our-
selves. Self pity has been res-
ponsible for millions of mis-
takes. By forgetting oursel-
ves in the interest of our work,
by being of service through
acts of kindness to others, we
can find pleasure in an oth-
erwise drab existancc.
