8 Til K L I KCO I. N I A N THE NECESSITY OF DOING OUR BEST (By Corinne Davis, ’ll.) Now I get me up to work, I pray the Lord I may not shirk, if l should •lie before the night, 1 pray the Lord my work’s all right.” There are two ideas to be derived from this quota- tion. The first is making preparations, for facing the proceedings of each day, and the other is seeing that we i our best in all undertakings. The last idea is the one that I shall endeavor to expand. I think this subject is important be- cause too many of us never do our best if we can get out of it. Some of us think if we can just get through or obtain what we want without mak- ing any sacrifices, why that ' s the prop- er thing, but ii we have to deprive our- selves very much, we lose interest in the desire that takes this power to at- tain it. If a person has a job, and doesn’t care particularly whether he does his work well or not, he is likely to lose his position, and by his poor service he is not likely to get another one be- cause he can’t get references, and they are very essental in this present cen- tury. On the other hand, a person who is quiet and quick, always on the go, and does everything properly will always find it an easy task to get a place any time he wants one. Why? Because he is the person that the world is looking for. Thus we can see that the fellow who does his best is the one who has the best chances. Some times we are asked to do a few very small tasks. Well, we don’t think so much of them, but after a while when we meet them on a higher plane we can’t do anything with them, while if we had mastered them at first we would not have had trouble in performing them on a higher scale. The person who always tries to do good and helps others out of dif- ficulties is the one who usually gets along best in this world. One writer has said, Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” Success lies open to a person of this kind and also to one who has an amiable disposition and alertness, and who is always ready to improve the community in which he lives and those around him. Everyone has habits, but what kind are they? Those that help or those that hinder? For instance, here is an example of a habit that hinders: We have a girl who goes very untidy about the house; she desires to visit a friend for a week or two. Well, the first two or three days she is very care- ful in arranging her toilet, but the re- maining days she gets tired of being so neat and clean, (because she hasn’t been used to it), so she is very un- comfortable the. remainder of her stay. So we can see how one bad habit can s| oil a great deal of pleasure. So let us look our best as well as do our best daily. Therefore, it is very necessary that we do our best because it leads us to success and favor, helps others to imi- tate us in order that they may better themselves, and by doing the little things well we are enabled to tackle the larger ones, and it also makes us brighter and more intelligent. So that when we lie down to rest we may say, Now I lay me down to rest, 1 pray the Lord my soul to bless, For 1 have done my very best. o HISTORY OF KANSAS CITY, MO. In order to appreciate our city of today fully we should have some idea of its history. . Probably the first white man that came to the present site of Kansas City, Mo., was Col. Daniel Boone. This was in 1787, and he spent twelve winters here trapping beavers on the banks of the Blue. About the year of 1832 a Frenchman who had escaped from the Canadas, sailed down the Mississippi with a few comrades,
