On the first call for volunteers for service
in Mexico it is announced Col. Theodore Roosc-
welt will tender to the War Department the
services OF full army division with the request
that he be allowed to lead it as Il major general
Of volunteers. Probably no great difficulty will
be encountered in convincing the administration
that he can be spared from the campaign that IS
approaching in the United States.

Public Schools Should Be Used For Polling
 Places
By Professor E. J. WARD, University
 of Wisconsin

HOPE of orderly progress for the II race chiefly eenters in the in-
 tclligent use of the ballot The polling place is the primary cap itol in republic. In comparisons with it the city hall, the stateho,tse and the capitol at Washington are secondary capitois.
 THE POLLING PLACE SHOULD HAVE THE MOST NoBLY sIGNIFI. CANT HOUSING THE coMMU. NI1Y GAN GIVE. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL AFFORDS THIS HOUSING.
 Elections. whcthcr for the selec- fion of men or the decision of meas 1ires, arc primarily examinations of public intelligence. Schools are the logical and natural places for the perodicaI testings of the common mentality. The voting machine or ballot box should be kept in the schoolhouse as fhc symbol of eff eiency in self government-THE EXAMINING INSTRUMENT OF THE ELECTORATE'S JUDG- MENT AND GOOD SENSE.

Business F ailures Are an Econo,nic Loss to the
 Community By H. } BARRETT, Business
 Expert

NID you ever stop to think of B 7 the economic loss to the
 community involved in com herciai failures? Failures must be discounted in the price set for the sale of commodities, CONSE- QUENTLY WE ALL PAY MORE FOR GOODS THAN WE WOULD IF NO ONE EVER FAILED.
 Furthermore, a failure meaTts that an organization which cost money to create and which, supposedly served useful economic purpose is dissolved. The units comprising the organization often are out of work for some time; hence do not func- tion to their fullest extent of use fulnessfor considerable period.
 The main causes of business fail ure are overstocking, carrying goods of too high quality and lack of prop CT accounting methods. The reme- dy is elimination of waste and list s4otion--in 8 word, efficiency.

CAMPAIGN BANNERS.
Making the Big Party EmbIems That
 Stretch Across the Street.

Making the Big Party EmbIems That
 Stretch Across the Street.
 One of the features of every great political campaign. especially In the large cities. Is the showing made by the big party banners stretched across the streets or avenues. The services of twelve men are required to produce one of these big campaign banners.
 Two men prepare the strips on which the lettering Is done. Two more look after the lettering of these strips. the painting of the names of clubs or asso- citations ordering the banners. the cap tions for the portraits and the offices for which the nominees are to contend.
 Two men work on the centerpieces- generally consisting of an eagle and a shield. One man devotes himself to the special portraits. and the others as- semble the various parts. sew the strips together and give the finishing touches to the banner.
 The portrait man" scorns to do any other work than the main portrait. The rest he calls filling fn." By work ing on the same faces day after day this aDtist becomes so skillful that he can paint the portrait of a candidate (to use the words of one painter) fin the dark" and do 1t as true to life as the standard of the campaign banner industry requires.-Los Angeles Times.

ELECTION DIFFICULTIES
 ALASKA
Valdez Prospector.)


 Some idaa of the difficulties of holding an election in Alaska may be realized when it is stated that many of the retusns must be brought Hundreds cf miles by dog team, musher or boat. Many precincts are SO isolated that the result of ths Vots is not aseer- tained until the July following the election, Take this division. for instance ltstretches away to the westward over thousand miles, and to bring the returns in over the wind-swept waters requires a deal of fortitude. And in the Fourth Division, away to the north, many precincts require several days of hard mushing to optain the returns. But with it all Alaskans probably take a greater interest in their elections than any other race of people. They are used to vast distances and time is no object so long as the required result is obtained.

 The twins were talking fast that night after Mary had retired. Tomorrow was Thanksgiving and they were planning some sur prises for her, who every day expected them to send her back to the Orphans Home.
 The next morning when Mary awoke she found by her bed some queer locking parcels. She won ,dered how they got there and then spied card which said

 ''So this is what you called her up to your room for and had such a long talk about!'' said Vivian. We were so afraid that she would have to work out, that we have been racking our brains to find some other way for her to live, ever since she came here. We certainly thought of some good plans but we did not dare dream that she could stay with you, Auntie. :"
 This certainly is the best Thanksgiving we have ever had and the best one anybody could have," said Dorothy, So @hieh they all agreed.

Higher Education Needed to Cope With Forces 1 Let Loose by War By Professor EDWARD KREHBIEL,
 Leland Stanford University
THE great war has stimulated in.

THE great war has stimulated in
 terest in current problems.
 Recent history has come in for an emphasis that it has long de- served and lacked, and the history now demanded by the student is not the traditional sort. The war has increased interest in democracy, for it is believed to be intimately in- volved in the outcome of the pres ent struggle. DEMOCRATIZA- TION MEANS THE SOLUTION OF A GREAT MANY DOMESTIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL QUES- TIONS WHICH DEMAND POPU- LAR UNDERSTANDING.
 The solution of these is compli- cated by the prevalent demand for efficiency, which, az experience shows, is hard to couple with the large personal liberties common to traditional democracy.
 THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE MET IF WE WISH TO DEAL sATIsFAc- ToRTLY WITH THE FORCES SET IN MOTION BY THE WAR. AND IN SOLVING THEM SCHOOLS WILL BE CALLED UPON TO PERFORM A VERY VITAL TASK.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MARY
 ER10M. THR. TWINS

Mary could hardly believe her eyes and every minute ex- pectsd to wake U,p and find it only a dream. But as she opened the parcels and saw new set of furs, just exactly like Dor othy's and Vivian's, which she admired so much, a nswcoat, two new dresses and slippers, she knew that it was not dream. She looked at the card again and again to make sure that it had her name on it, but she simply could not realize that they were for her. She thought that there was some mistake. Finally she became so sure that it was a mis- take that she began to feel fright ened and was just on the point of wrapping them up again whan Dorothy and Vivian bounded into the room with their good morn- ings." After they had convinced Mary that they were for her and she had thanked them as best she could, for her feelings could not be expressed in words, they all went arm in arm down to breakfast.
 After breakfast Mrs. Stanford suggested that they go out for a walk. This they were very glad to do as the weather was just lovely. When they came back they heas& a voice that was strange to Mary, but familiar to the twins. Mary was so fright ened that she trembled. "Oh" thought she, "that surely emust be some one after me-" She did not have time to think any more for she felt herself seized by the hand and the next minute 4e found herself confronting a mid dle aged woman with smiling eyes and a radiant face. At the sight of her Mary 5ook courage. After the twins were through with their greetings they intro duced her as Aunt Jane. 50 this is the little girl you wrote me about" said Aunt Jane smiling at the twins. Mary and Aunt Jane took to each other at once and after the three girls had left the room, Mrs. Stanford told her all about Mary.
 Aunt Jane's coming was quite an excitement because she had not been to see them for over a year. She alw ays; declared that she would love to have a little girl of her own and as she did not have any, she paid more attention to Vivian and Dorothy than she would have otherwise.
 Then came the big dinner! Turkey, cranberry sauce, dump lings, pumpkin and raisin pies and everything else. After din- ner thsy told stories and then Aunt Jane told Mary that she would like to see her. Mary, very curious to know what she wanted and at the same very proud to think that Aunt Jane would pick her out of the three, jumped up and accompanied her to her room.
 That evening, after supper as they were all gathered around the fire place, Aunt Jane said "Just think, girls, Mary has promised to come and stay with me and be my little grill" The twins stared at each other in astonishment

Dorothy, were told that their mother was ready for shopping. Up they jumped and were. down the steps and into the car in a minute. They had already se- lected their new set,of furs' and coats and although they had them put away. ,.they could not help be- ing afraid that they would be sold.
 They had only been on their way for about fifteen minutes when. in the midst of their chat tering, the car stopped. What did he stop for?" said Vivian im- patiently. They looked out and saw the chauffer jump down and pick up a little girl of about theis own age. At first the girls did not understand, but when their mother turned pale and hastily made room, they realized that they had run over her. They made her as comfortable as they could and drove to the hospital. There they left her after being assured that she was not hurt badly and that they would learn who her parents we're ssd notify them.
 All their plans for shopping were spoiled because they could not help thinking about the little girl that they had run over. After they had secured their coats and furs, w&ich they found were still there, they changed thelr minds about going to a picture show, and drove straight home.
 Upon being questioned as to whom she was and where she lived, the girl wae too weak to reply So they decided to let her rest.
 The next day the twins could hardly wait for tAe forenoon to wear away so that they could go and see the little girl. The shock had quite unnerved Mrs. Stanford who was at this moment reciin- ing on the couch. So the twins were compelled to start out alone.
 They were: eager enough to go at first, but as they heared the door a feeling of shyness came over both of them. They stood outside tte door, each one telling the other to go in first, when it was opened by the nurse. On a little cot in the corner of the ward. the little girl lay, white-faced and heavy. eyed from loss of sleep. When she saw them her face brighten.di 50 that they for got their shyness and both began talking at once. She said that her name was Mary Marsh. Her mother died just about four months ago and her father had been dead ever since she was a baby. Her mother had always worked hard at sewing and barely earned enough to keep them with food and clothes, so when she died Mary was left penniless. She was sent to the orphans asylum where about three days ago She ran away.
 But where did you expect to go?' questioned Dorothy.
 Have you any relations?" asked Vivian.
 Mo-" said Mary, "I have no relations and I did not have the least idea where I was going. My only thought was to get away and after l got out of sight my only thought was that was free. l had just eaten my last piece of bread when something ran against me and the next time ! opened my eyes I was on this cot with a lady bending over me and asking me where 1 lived. I Twas too weak to speak so l closed my eyes and they went away"
