A GOOD SPORT

The good sports is the man
who not only grins and bears
defeat, but also endures a tr:-
umph without to much GRIM
ing. He is the fellow who is
always ready and willing to lend
a helping hand to a less fortu-
nate brother. He is the fellow
who would scorn to take ad
vantage of any chance unfairly
presented to him. He is frank
and above hoard in all things,
and does not try to shift the
blame where it does not belong.
When at work he puts his best
into his work and when at play
he always plays fairly. He can
always be depended upon to dc
what is set before him to t h e
best of his ability. In IT Ia Ell
words, a good sport is the kind
of fellow every young m a n
should like to be, and is surely
a goal worth striving for.

that she had started the fuss by

If men are in earnest about
this talk of attempting a flight
across the Atlantic they ought
not be allowed to make the at

some protection against their

The narrow ruff1ss so much
appseciated by our grandmoth-
ers are here again and they are
made of tulle.
The new taffetas are either
striped or plaid, in immitation
of the oldfashioned taffetas.
They are rich and soft, with
just a suspicion Of rustic.

Executive travelling Bugs.

White House they educated the
American people to expect them
to 'Sget around and call" every
year or two Both men-and
especially Mr.. Tiff, has a fond
ness for making Swings a
round the circle " The advis-
~ of President WiIaon have
been trying for more than a
year to get him to go to Pana-
ma, and now they insit that he
should go to Alaska, or at the
very least make a tip across
the country to meet the millions
Of ''original Wilson men," and
the rest of the voters, and ex-
plain face to face the accornp-
lishments of The Administra-
tion. President Wilson is Ell
tiIely unlike his predecessors,
inaSmuch as he does not care to
travel very much. AS a plat
form speaker he is one Of the
beet the country has produced
in recent years, and those who
have cast the il fortunes with
him are more anxious that he
should go out into the byways
and hedges, and impress h / 8
personality upon the masses.
The President may beside to
make trip during the summer
and fall, but it is safe to say
that it will not be because of
HE personal incIination {ses..
much as ithas been very clearly
pointed out that he perfers the
comforts of the White House,
and likes nothing better than to
remain there and stick to his
job.
Parcel Post to Replace MlddIeman.
There has been no order of
the Postmaster General of
broader moment than the ex-
perimental plan that will be
tried in a number of offices that
have been designated, by which
the postmaeters are directed to
receive names of persons that
are willing to supply farm pro-
dnce in retail quantities by par
Gel post shipments The city
consumer is given the names of
the farmers, and he is enabled
to place his orders for butter
and eggs and other farm pro-
duce. which will be delivered by
the postman at his door. The
Postmaster General predicts
that the trial will prove a sue
cess, and result in enabling the
people of the country ito enjoy
the potent benefits of the parcel
post" Mr.. Burleson adds that
mo one has ever questioned
the possibility Of reducing the
high cost of living by establish
ing direct relation between the
home customer and the original
producer. 1t is the purpose of
the lPostoffice Department to
make the postofice the direct
agency between the individual
producer and the individual
consumer. The "middleman"
is to be eliminated; and this,
says the Postoffice Department,
WILL result in a reduction of the
cost ofliving.
