PICKUPS-- Let us not pray for a light burden, but rather for a strong back. No man is too big to be kind and courteous, but many, men are too little. Never bet on a sure thing unless you can afford to lose. Many times a dear conscience gets the credit that really belongs to a poor memory. Good resolutions are like babies crying in church--tfiey should be carried out immediately. --Orville E. Reed, .Geographic Arts Monthly.

Those • features still exist -- but l a t e l y t h e y h a v e been, clogged with strikes, unions at work, Mexican lawsuits, football players being haled before the courts for contract troubles, lawyers' pleas, judges' decisions.

It all is 0 part of the badly befogged times. There isa!t any questioning the fact that many things have been out of line. Neither football nor baseball contracts can be held legalty vaiid when the employer can hold a man for life, but also fire him on 10 days' notice. That, of course, is not a contract.

Earliest mention of Tannu Tuva is found in Chinese manuscripts of the seventh century A. D., where it is referred to as "Tuva." Conquered in 1207 by Ghengis Khan, the ancient state became a part of Outer Mongolia and was known as Urian- Jkhai until 1011. In that year during the Mongolian uprising against China, Uriankhai was claimed by era like to be enrolled with winning teams. It's better to win than te set as s door mat MI SB outclassed squad.

In 1920 Uriankhai was proclaimed an independent republic under the name of Tannu Tuva. The country is about the size of Nevada. Its terrain, says the National Geographic society, presents a variety of tangled jungle, luxuriant meadows, forests, mountains and barren steppes. In the south, the Tannu Ola mountains form a natural boundary between Outer Mongolia and Tannu Tuva. Spreading 350 miles east to west, the mountains are a series of gradual slopes and fiat-topped summits whose highest elevation is 8,000 feet.
