is the only salvation Of any town that
wants to forge ahead. This opinion
is borne out by a little bit of verse
that / CANE across the other day and
which goes as follows:
If you want to live in the kind Of a
town,
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in q
grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock at your town,
1t isn't the town--its you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And II while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too.
Your town will be what you want to
see, s.
1t isn't your town-its you.

NO LEAK, BUT A LAWSON.


Many vision vanished when the
committee which investigated the al
legged leak to Wall Street OF the
presidents peace note in December
made its report to the house OF repre-
sentatives. In particular. Thomas w.
LawsOn's dream of $50 100000 or such
matter won in day, of congress
corrupted and afraid, Of cabinet Of
ficer involved and of high dignitaries
whose rank could not even be named,
passes and leaves not wrack be-
hind
B Aside from the fact that there was
no leak, the most important feature
Of the report now at hand is that
which completely discredits Mr.. Law
son He made charges that he was
unable to substantiate in any way
He made threats which he failed to
carry out. He made promises. every
me of which was broken. He as
sailed by innuendo many decent men
NOT one of whom was he willing to
name or face.
The only results of the inquiry asid
from this is the exposure, or Two
newspaper correspondents who, WITH
small incomes and regrettable dlsre-
gard of the ethics of their calling,
we're found to be in the pay OF brok-
ers. and Of little girl whose child

ing stories which she was compelled

tits estimated that this investlga-
tion has cost the people about $5O,OOO,
to say. nothing of the time of the con-
gressmen taking part in it. AS an ex-
ploratiop for leaks it has been a com
nIete failure, but considering the
iirht thrown on Thomas w. Larson's
methods, it probably is worth the

To-Day is Thanksgiving day and.as
such should be observed by the peo-
pie of the United States for although
this country is now faced by great
problems in ending the world war
for democracy, yet we have much to
be thankful for. Despite the war
the country was never more prosper
Gus, there is plenty of food and
clothing tor all and the country will
continue to prosper. How different
is the condition in the countries of
Europe where they have been torn
by war and strife, where neutral
countries have had difficulty in pro-
perly provisioning their people.
We should be thankful this day
that we have an abuneance with
which to help feed the rest of the
world, that we have been blessed
with bounteous crops by divine
providence.

REGULAR HABITS.

They Go Long Way Toward Building
Up Good Health.
Regular habits for retiring must be
considered as one Of the best methods
for securing good sleep.
The human body has a wonderful
periodicity in all its spontaneous ac-
lions, and by studying these much Of
the machinery of health may be made
to work smoothly.
Witness one habit Of waking at
certain hour to which we have been &C
customed.
Regularity i'm eating is most tmpOr-
tant for health. The digestive tract
will respond at regular times just as
other habits will repeat themselves.
Proper food properly digested will do
much for ones health and happiness.
1t is mistake to eat too much.
We should try and enjoy our meals
by paying attention to the taste Of
food Do not gulp it down. 1t should
be masticated and tasted so as to slim
ulate those nerves which reflect their
sense on the other ner-ss controlling
the glands Of digestion.
When you feel indigestion after eat
ing a meal note the ingredients eaten
and should it repeat itself try to con-
Wet the guilty food and dismiss it from
your Dietary.
Don't make eating task, but make
it pleasure, so that the food will di-
gest and be assimilated and applied to
the different necessities of the act1vi-
ties of life.
Youth demands greater variety and
quantity Of food than does old age and
especially does 1t require more protein
and meat.
Learning what foodstuffs best suit is
one of the great educational tasks man
has before him, for he no longer has
the intuition Of the lower animals. The
laes.cS seem to inherit sense that di-
reefs them what Is best for their body
wants. The vast majority Of animals
can differentiate between poisonous
and nonpoisonous foodstuffs.-Commis.

FAMILIAR WITH GREATNESS.

American Camera Man.

American Camera Man.
A story told by Francis A. Collins In
the Camera Man shows that the direct
methods of the American news photog-
rapher are not affected by surround
ings that might cause others to grow
self conscious.
A newspaper assigned an American
to make a portrait of General Won
Kissing In the palace In Brussels. The
photographer applied for permission to
the authorities at Berlin, who received
him courteously and, after consider
able formality, detailed an officer to
accompany him to Brussels. An ap-
poantment was made, and the two were
admitted to the generals room. Pre-
viously, however, it had been explained
to the American that under no circum-
stances was he to address the general.
The officer began his explanation, but
became confused at finding himself
face to face with so distinguished a
parsonage.

will be so kind In his confusion he
came to full stop.
General Won Kissing was seated at a
desk and seemed to be very busy. The
American photographer stepped for
ward.
General, am an American" he be-
ran without embarrassment.
Il see that" said the general, with a
smile.
Il have come to take your picture
the photographer added without waste
of time.
The situation was unprecedented
The officer stood aghast.
Every WELL" replied General Won
Kissing go ahead. What do you
want me to DOR
''If you will step to the window"
the photographer explained. Now
step this way, little farther, please.
No; this way" And to the horror OF
the attending officer the photographer
laid his hand on the generals arm and
arranged the pose. The picture was
taken In few seconds.
Thank you, general" said the un-
abashed American easily.
II hope your picture turns out well, =
replied General Won Kissing, and the
interview was over. Once they were
outside the door, the officer expostu-
lated:
How did you come to address his
excellency? 1t is most unprecedented.
And you laid your hand on him. How
could you do SOP
"Mein neber freund," said the Amer
lean, 81 have photographed three Amer
lean presidents, and general more or

Getting Along Fine

A letter received from John
Jacobs, Jr. who has joined the
United States aviation corps, is
to the effect that he is getting
fine in his training at Columbus
and has passed the first tests.
The schooling is very strict and
many have fallen down in the
exams. John says he never
wanted to get through anything
as badly in his life and his hope
is that he will soon be flying
with the American forces in
France.

The submarine began the action as a range of 5000 yards, four nautical miles, when she hardly was visible to the steamer without glasses. Present ing virtually no target herself, she sent 200 shells at the big tanker, making many hits. while the Amer ican gunners wasted 150 shots with -out harming the speck from which the deadly hail came,
 Naval officials assumed that the submarine was armed with the six inch rifle mounted by most of the newest undersea boats. No statement was available tonight as to the arma- ment of the Moreni, nor as to whether she was one of the vessels that sailed without waiting for full equipment including range finder. The failure of the gunners to get the submarine was attributed generally to the long range and small target.
