SERVICE THAT IS BEYOND PRAISE
INSISTED ON QUICK ACTION
This Father About as Sensible as Many
Who Expect Wonders From Cor-
respondence School
Henry P Davison was talking about
the numerous correspondence courses
In five lessons — each lesson to be mas-
tered in one evening over the nfter-
dinner cigar — which teuch a mun how
to become a Napoleon of finance
"You enn’t learn to be a Napoleon
of finance or anything else so easily'
he said “These courses remind me of
the mun who brought his son to the
school of mines and growled:
"‘I want you to learn this here boy
to be an expert minin’ engineer but
look n here — I don’t want him to waste
his time over a lot of book nonsense
about strata and denudations and
don’t bother him with ndnerology and
crystals neither What I want him to
learn Is how to find gold and silver nnd
copper In pnyin’ quantities — payin’
quantities mind you — mid I II call for
him nnd put him In to work Monday

Keeping Up the Good Work
“My friend” remarked the practical
man "you can’t reform the world by
passing resolutions”
"But we don’t stop there” answered
the professional uplifter “Y’ou have
no Idea of how "a set of good strong
resolutions Inspires the rank and file
with new confidence to tackle the prob-
lems of the dnv Particularly after
we get them published In the newspa-
pers ” — Birmingham Age-Herald
A broken trust Is not easily mended
The faith of aur friends Is a treasure
to curry carefully
A lot of good liars got tlielr training
by making excuses
It Is no crime to be poor unless the
word Is applied to singers
RECOGNIZED THAT ART WORK
Profiteer Picked Out Wrong Man to
Boast About Picture He Had
"Picked Up"
A Kansas City profiteer moved into
his gaudy new home lust week nnd
last night was piloting a salaried
friend around through the new rugs
nnd furniture As they entered the
“library” the profiteer pointed with
grent pride to a lurid picture 6 by 9
on the east wall and said :
"How d’ye like that for art? I’m
ashamed to tell you how cheap I got
thnt down nt the art shop the other
dny See that torn place in the cor-
ner? That was made the denier said
bv one o’ them German looters In the
Thirty-Year war”
‘The dealer wns mistaken” observed
the salaried friend "It was another
war It was made hy a beer bottle I
threw tnyself I never could stand that
picture especially when I was lit up
Grogan's bartender Miked me clear
across the sidewalk the night I heaved
that bottle So Grogan’s selling oft his
pictures Is he?” — Kansas City Star
Senator Thomas of Colorado wrote
a letter the other day In answer to one
Inquiring why he does not favor a bill
for the payment of a bonus of $180
each to the United States soldiers la
the great war This letter says among
other things:
"The bill commercializes patriotism
Impairs the sentiment of loynlty and
reduces to terms of money the service
and sacrifice of the citizen for the
public weal
"Every man In the United States
is the possessor of certain rights which
are reciprocal with certain duties or
responsibilities His enjoyment of the
one Is Inseparable from his recognition
of the other The ultimate sanction of
society whatever the form of Its gov-
ernment Is force whose final analysis
Is the soldier In the ranks The ob
ligation to serve when the occasion
atlse8 is Insistent nnd Inexorable Be-
cause of it you possess individual free-
dom the right ot luiiiutive the companionship of family nnd friends the
enjoyment of property and the right of Its lawful accumulation

As a step toward conserving the
decreasing supply of American pulp
wood used In the manufacture of news
print paper Senator Watson of Indi-
ana has Introduced a resolution author-
izing the secretary of agriculture to
make a survey of the notion’s available
pulp wood timber supply The sum of
$100000 Is asked to carry on the sur-
vey and Investigation
“Two-thirds of the news print pa-
per used by American newspapers”
Senator Watson said in Introducing
the resolution “Is Imported or Is man-
ufactured from wood or pulp Imported
from Canada One-third is made In
the United States The former pro-
portion Is steadily increasing the lat-
ter is steadily decreasing”
Nearly all of the American news
print manufacturing Industry Is lo-
cated In the northeastern states — half
In New Y’ork” the senator continued
“But In the I’nelllc Northwest — Wash-
ington Oregon and part of California — and the inluud eiupue of northwestern
Montana and northern Idiiho are great forests that have been no more than
touched by the few pulp mills In tliut section of the country’
CHAMBERLAIN AND COURTS-MARTIAL
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon Is
a consistent friend of the Yankee fight-
ing man He says of his courts-martial
bill:
“I am advised that the total of the
sentences imposed by courts-martial
during the world war passed upon
American soldiers wns about 28000
years A clemency board has recom-
mended a reduction of sentences which
brings the total down to about 6700
years that American soldiers must
serve in prison -s
“The stigma of conviction Is not
removed by action of the 'clemency
bonrd and there is practically no re-
visory power over these sentences
where the court martial had Jurisdic-
tion nnd the proceedings have been
icgulur I have introduced a bill be-
fore the senate the purposes of which
are:
“It restores soldiers sailors and
marines who have been sentenced by
courts umitial for cunvktlnns not felonies and discharges them automatically
ns though they had not been convicted

An Apology
Whether the following excerpt from
the W'llliamsville (N D) Item is a
bona fide apology or only the work
of the office humorist it has original-
ity: “W'e wish to apologize to Mrs Or-
ville Overholt In our puper last week
we had as a headline ‘Mrs Overliolt's
Big Feet’ The word’ we ought to
have used is a French word pro-
nounced the same way but spelled
‘fete’ It means a celebration and is
cons'dered a very tony word”
