In every line of endeavor we are
all dependent upon each other. In
the business world, in the social life
and in the home circle, our success
and happiness depend upon our fell
lows; depend upon our relation to
our fellow man and with him. RICH
here might we not bring the subJec
matter O four comment, cooperation
and organization, by the absence o.
either of which little progress TOWARD
our aims can be obtained.
1t is quite natural for us to make
the mistake OF thinking that coopera-
ton should all come from the othe
side, expecting the other fellow to
think and do things our way. We
often work along these lines and hon
estly believe that we are doing a fin,
job of cooperating. 1t is just as nat
ural for the other fellow to look at i,
differently, and for him to assert his
rights Here is the opportunity TO
us to become real cooperators. If we
are broad enough to listen to the
other fellows side of the question anC
analyze the situation to see whethe
we may be partially wrong and the
other fellow partially right, there i
hope of cooperation. When we begin
to analyze the other fellows ideas, We
begin to get together However, co
operatio does not always mean con
formity of opinion, but rather an an
alyzing on the basis of harmony anG
a compromise.
Occasionally full cooperation may
mean a sacrifice of our own opinions
and interests to the best results for
the great majority. Little difhcultie
will adjust themselves if we are il
earnest.
With cooperation comes organiza

without the other We have re

awaiting the hands of cooperation
and organization.

THE KID HAS JOINED
THE COLORS

The kid has gone to the colors,
And we don't know what to say
The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him child a baby
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought it whispered Come
The kid, not being Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot JOY
To add his name to the roster
And God, we are proud OF the boy
The kid has gone to the colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse OF fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His mother-God bless her!-cried
Yet, blessed with mother nature,
She wept with mother pride.
But he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was granddad, for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the flag to man.

1t has been decided that Mr.. Roose-
welt is not to be allowed to lead di
VISION in France There may be some
who will not be pleased with this, but
on the whole it seems wise
In the first place, Mr.. Roosevelt is
not trained in military science, and We
must not forget that this is a wal
OF highly trained specialists. A troop
OF unframed men, no matter how full
of dash and spirit, would stand little
show against the methods of modern
war. The President seems to have
measured the situation carefully when
he said; The first troops sent to
France will be taken from the pres
ent force of the regular army and will
be under the command OF trained SOL
diers only"
Then, too, it may be question as to
just how safely such division would
tit i'll with the general plan and orders
in campaign, for it would be too
large to be overlooked and allowed
to do as it pleased, and not large
enough to be separate command
There is little doubt, either, that
it would tend to excite jealousy as
its members would stand in a peculiar
relation to the nation and to the rest
of the army. 1t would certainly en-
barrass the commander of the Amer
lean forces. for almost any man would
hesitate TO exact of the Colonel such
implicit obedience to orders as is ex-
pected from those who are trained in
war
Mr.. Roosevelt shows his loyalty and
good judgment in refrainng from
comment and in advising those who
offered their services to him to enter
