SEPTEMBER.
September, and the call comes clear to
me
To take my simple pack and find a
trail
That leads through meadows to
some far off vale
Where mellow sunshine spreads its
witchery;
Out where the autumn winds blow
fast and free
And autumn skies are high and
blue and bright;
Where star-sheen melts into the
purple night
And all the world is fragrant as the
sea.
This little path shall lead me to new
lands
OF golden sunsets and Of silver
rain;
OF endless purple dusks and rose
red dawns;
OF mirrored streams and fields OF
waving grain;
A world so full Of sound and colors
bright
A heart must break Its bonds for pure
delight.

THE MEDAL CONTEST

A good attendance was fully appre- ciated. The contestants did admirably While only one could win, we feel sure the others will continue until success crowns their efforts. No bet ter definition of Liberty could have been given than Miss Mildred Wal thall proclaimed it in her clear, digni- fled manner.
 It was the definition given by Fran ces Willard years ago, and it is as up- to-date now as it was then.
 William Jennings Bryan could not have better repeated his sentiments on the prohibition question than did Master Chas. Crow repeat them as MT. Bryan gave them at convention.
 The harm of the "social glass" was so vividly depicted by little Miss Ma bel Burns, that those present will surely never be guilty of offering temptation to young people-neither will they pledge their troth" with the wine cup.

u. S. BUILDING SIXTEEN CITIES CURBS GRAFT
IN ARMY CANTONMENT CONTRACT

In AKIN 7 CANlON
BY BASIL MANLY
Washington, June %. - Uncle
Sam has let contracts and work has
already started on the greatest city
building program in the worlds his
tory
Sixteen cities, each bigger than
Lexington, KY, and with a combined
population as large as Cleveland, are
to be constructed before Sept. l.
Their construction will cost more
than was spent on the Panama canal
in any one year.
1t offered the biggest chance ever
known either for colossal graft or for
a brand new record in the conduct of
government business.
There is no time to use any of the
old-time safe and sane anti-graft de-
vices. These cities - CantOnments
for the seIeCtive service army-mUst
be ready by September or the whole
military program is disOTganized.
Under the old system of competitive
bids, it would be September before
the contracts were written and Oc-
tober before the work began.
So Uncle Sam adopted the plan
used by big corporations on rush !
jobs, paying the cost Of materials |
and labor, plus a reasonable profit, !
with some new wrinkles which make |
the contracts as nearly graft-prOOf !
as possible.
Under the ordinary scheme of pay !
ing on the basis of cost plus per-
centage profits" the profit percen-
tage remains the same no matter |
how high the cost run. This makes
it to the interest Of the INSCRIPTIONS |
contractor to run costs up.
The first thing Uncle Sam did was
to arrange it so that the percentage
got smaller as the cost got larger.
