morning, Nick Sehr, who recently returned from Canada,
lost his balance and fell to
the ground, striking* on his

Success.
It wasn't so rery many years ago
when the ideals held up before aspiring American youth were exemplified
by the most notable cases of material
success. There is a change in that
respect of recent years, due partly to
the fact that many of these examples
have been proved to be anything but
desirable examples for youth to follow, and partly to the fact that there
has come over the American people
a strong realization that material success is not the only kind of success
worth striving for, that material success does not necessarily bring happiness and content, that the lives of
those who have s_.riric.tl everything
for material success are usually more
bitter than those who are poor and
that, in short, real success in this
world lies not in the rewards secured,
but in the service done to humanity.

Real Opportunities Here in America.

previous meeting which were
accepted. The committee on
sports, consisting of B. L. Kaliher, Nick Meyer and E. H.

Short talks were made by
different members of the club
and also by Geo. Kiewel and
John Stroman. The impromptu
speeches were confined principally to the possible and probable future, of Pierz, and the
keynote of p.em all was that no
success could be attained without harmony and that all petty
jealousiesanddissensionsshould
be laid aside and forgotten for a
combined effort to make a united town and do what is best for
the village as a whole.
President Virnig did credit to
