terests, to the golden rule, to the
church, loyalty to God. Who are the
successful men and women Of today?
Those whose every fiber quivers with
loyalty. We call the kind of loyalty
that leads the soldier to face death
in defense of the flag, patriotism.
We call the accumulation of great
wealth selfishness, loyalty to self. We
call the loyalty of husband and wife
to each other love-, but no matter
what term we use to designate it its
right name is loyalty and those little
boys who could see nothing but VIC
tory for the school and who in vic
tory or defeat were for the school,
have in them the making of good
and useful men because thus early in
life they have developed the spirit
of loyalty. Success to you kids. We
didn't do thing to them, did we? 80.
If we could have our way, you should
have a big play ground and real foot
balls to kick. But never mind. Some
day you will be on the high school
eleven and feel that queer catch in
your throat when the school sings,
The Green and White at student
mass meeting. The next day you will
break thru the line and go down the
field with the ball amid roar of en-
couragement from the crowd. After
those days are over you will go out
in the world and make an honorable
place for yourselves. Simply because
even now you are a living embodiment
of that most desirable attribute in ev-
cry walk of life-loyalty.

.oBsTRucr1NG SIDEWALKS.

Its sidewalks being occupied by
sinners of shoes and vendors OF fruit,
city passed an ordinance making it
unlawful for any person to erect any
booth, she'd. stand, or any other OBJ
struction upon the-si1ewalk for the sale
of merchandise. or to be used for shin
ing shoes. BY those newly acquired
citizens whom this regulation affected,
it was bitterly asasiled in Chapman VS..
City of Lincoln, 121 Northwestern Re-
porter sos. Plaintiffs complained that
other merchants were allowed to use
the sidewalks for the display of their
goods. The Nebraska supreme court
held the city without authority to bind
the public whose free right to the
streets and sidewalks could not be
taken. Because it, perhaps illegally, has
seen fit to allow its merchants to dis
play upon the walk in front of their
stores samples of their wares, it does
not follow that it was ever the inten-
ton of the city to allow such mer-
chants to convert the sidewalk space
set apart for the public into source
of revenue by subletting to obnoxious
persons who use it for crying out, en-
gaging their services, and selling their
wares.

REGULATE ADVERTISING.


New York City passed an ordinance
regulating the use of streets for the eX-
hibits of advertising providing that no
advertising wagons be allowed therein
except ordinary business notices on
wagons not used merely for advertising.
The power to pass this ordinance was
questioned in Fifth Ave. Coach Com
pany vs.. City of New York IS North

the compensation which the Coach
Company derived by advertising was
regulated by the number of coaches
which it employed. This number con-
stantly increased. By the advertising

entire capital stock. Slow moving
trucks We're barred from the streets
owing TO the congestion attending the
passing of these garish vehicles. The

ordinance within the city's power to
parade or show upon vehicles passing

may not be generally known but it is
a fact that Rev. Smith is sprinter

he attended state meet at Gales

for that state. negotiating a quarter

for eighteen years the young athletes in
Illinois have striven 20 clip ct least

every attempt. The best Iowa colleg-
late record is a fiat second slower.
Rev. Smith was not only good
runner then. Despite the added years
that have brought him to middle life
and have given him a more generous
waist measurement he still, when he
desires. runs like a scared cat. The
reason why he did not escape trouble
in Marshalltown was because at the
moment no thought of his resemblance
to a scared cat entered his mind.

BABIES.

There are all kinds Of babies.
There are good babies and bad bah

pretty babies and homely babies, smart
babies and dull babies, your own babies
and your neighbors babies.
The good babies, pretty babies, smil
ing babies, and smart babies are us
ually your own. The bad babies, squat
ling babies, homely babies and dull
babies are always your neighbors.'
There is nothing quite so cute as the
things your own baby says, but the
things your neighbours baby says are
really tiresome and quite commonplace.
Without babies, fathers and mothers
would be out of a job and Roosevelt
would be shorn of one of his pet hob
bies.
No home can be happy where there
is unknown the patter of little feet, the
artless prattle Of baby tongues and
chfldhood's happy laugh that springs
from innocent and care-free hearts.
AS some author has said children are
the link between heaven and man, and
no home can be forever happy without
these little cherubs-those whose lips
lisp the cute little things that we like
to tell the neighbors.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

Linn county has already issued about
1900 hunters licenses, and the number
will probably run up TO $4,000 for the
year. This means that the state has
an additional revnue from this county
alone, of $4,000. Figuring half this
amount as an average the state officials
get $4,000 additional money to spend
over any previous administration. In
addition to this windfall the state levy
