Did you ever realize that the
greatest kicker in the world is a
jackass? Did il ever dawn ON
you that this is Just as true of
the two legged kicker as of the
four legged one? For example,
who could be a more perfect
jackass than the man who kicks
about his own town? The ass
kicks because he is built that
way, and the man kicks because
he is built the same way. The
ass usually has something to kick
at, but the man often kicks
about nothing at all. Get out
of the kicking habit and be
booster. Ii pays pays the in
diyidual and pays the community.

That special elections seldom
bear good fruit was again dem
onstrated in Portland last week
when all the measures before
the people were voted down.
Somehow people will not come
out at special elections to vote,
and the true sentiment of the
whole populace is but rarely Sc
cured. The best plan is to vote
on all special measures at a regu-
lar election.

1t is strange what apathy
exists in communities as a gem
eral rule in affairs relating to
public schools. When a director
is to be elected or a tax levy
adopted, a very few take any in
terest whatever in the result.
And yet the schools are Of almost
as vital importance as the city
government, or possibly more so.
Why is so little interest shown?
It is hard to explain.

Greenland. Thirteen of the sixteen

staTnpeded. but ten of them we're az

expedition assembled at Cape Stop on
September /. New ice offered, how
ever. great difficulties, as it was not
sufficiently thick to be travelled over.
The expedition also lost its motor
boat, which went to the bottom.
Three weeks had to pass before the
ice was sufficiently strong to bear
sledges and horses. Just at this time
Dr. Wegener fell and broke a RIB, but
soon recovered from his accident
and was quite well when the expedi.
ton went into winter quarters on
October 13. ..
In spite of strenuous efforts, the ex:
pedition failed to reach Queen Louise
Land, and Captain Koch therefore
decided to winter ON the inland lee.
The winter hut, which they called
Borg was. built fifteen kilometers
II the east of the most central part
OF Queen Louise Land. All the hors-
les, with the exception of five, were
slaughtered. Those which remained
alive were kept with the expedition
all the winter. and were perforce fed

rived. late in the afternoon, they found
SIX or eight ours lashed up in the the
ater, barking and yelping and tugging
at their chains. The stage manager,
not knowing what these CANNES were
there for, took no notice Of them, but
began going over his props" With
the property n?ca Ct his elbow he ran
down the list, asking what he could
get and what he could not get. Pres
emily he came to the item and asked,
What about the dogs:"
"Well," answered the man, pointing
to the yelpers, these were all I could
get
The stage manager for the first time
realized what the ours were for. but
he didn't want to give the local prop
erty man away before the others. so
he very seriously and critically in
