Mexican Problem Reverts to Presi-

OPOSSUM HAS QUEER TRAITS
SIow-Moving, Stupid Animal, One of
the Most Widely Known In
America.

The Virginia opossums (the only spe-
cies occurring In the United States)
have from five to fourteen young,
which at first are naked, formless little
objects, so firmly attached to the teats
In their mothers pouch that they can
obtain a coating of hair, they are mini
AZURE replicas of the adults, but con-
tinue to occupy the pouch until the
swarming family becomes too large for
it. The free toes of opossums are used
like hands for grasping, and the young
cling firmly to the fur OF their mother
while being carried about Ia her wan
derings. They are rather slow-movlng,
stupid animals, which seek safety by
their retiring nocturnal habits AID by
nonresistance when overtaken by an
enemy. This last trait gives origin to
the familiar term, playing 'possum."
While hunting at daybreak I once
encountered an unusually large old
male opossum on his way home from
night In the forest. When we met
he Immediately stopped and stood with
hanging head and tail and half-closed
eyes. / walked up and, after watching
him for several minutes without see
ing the slightest movement, put my
foot against his side and gave slight
push. He promptly fell fiat and lay
limp and apparently dead.
The opossum has always been ia
vorite game animal In the Southern
states, and figures largely In the songs
and folklore Of the Southern negroes.
In addition, its remarkable pecullarl-
ties have excited so much popular in
terest that it has become one Of the
most widely known of American ami

THE TERMS OF THE LIBERTY LOAN.
The act authorizing the Liberty Loan

1t provides for the issuance of 5000,
900, 900 of 81 per cent bonds, the inter-

years and become due June Is, I947.
The bonds are exempt both as to

which is really not tax on the prop.
erty, but on the transfer of property
by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par; that
is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be sold
by the Treasurer of the United States
and by all Federal Reserve banks.
But all banks, National and State,

for these bonds. 1t is almost as easy
TO purchase one of these bonds as it is
to get post.oliice money order.

PATRIOTISM THAT PAYS.
(By Luke McLuke.)

You are trying to show your Patriot
ism by wearing an American Flag on
your coat lapel. But the real way to
show your Patriotism is to wear a
Liberty Bond in your coat pocket.
The possession of even $50 Liberty
Bond is your certificate of Patriotism.
1t shows that you have done your
share to help your Country at this
time when your help is needed.
Do you know that the sacrifice of a
few cigars and drinks day will make
you the owner Of a Liberty Bond?
Would you be willing to put even a
dollar week into helping your Coun-
try win this war? Any bank will ar
range this for you.
Remember that you are not giving
your country anything. You are lend.
ing Uncle Sam your spare change,
and he will repay you with interest
Why let your savings account slumber
in bank because you get 3 per cent
INTEREST," Invest III IN Liberty BONDS
and get 81 per cent interest.
1t is all very well to cheer and wave
Old Glory, but your cheering and wav-
ing doesn't buy ammunition for Uncle
Sam and doesn't arm and clothe our
recruits. Every dollar that you put in
to Liberty Bonds goes to help win this
war. If you can't carry gun, you can
carry bond.
Every home that displays an Ameri-
can Flag should be able to display
Liberty Bond.
Your Uncle Sam needs aid today
Old scout, will you respond?
Let no American delay,
Kick in and buy a bond.

MOVED WELL INTO THE ROAD
Experience OF Ezra Tetlow Proves
That Hole In the Ground Is Not
Always Permanent Fixture.

There Is the old story about the man
who pulled up a well and took 1t t.
more desirable location; and an
other about the man who took up a
well, sawed it in sections, and used
one of the sections for a land roller.
They were exaggerations, but the ex-
perience of Ezra Tetlow proves that
well cannot always be classed as
permanent fixture. Ezra had a
well in front of his house. 1t had
never been u success as well. Ezra
wanted it filled up. One way would
have been to haul stones or earth and
use the material to fill 1t. But Ezra
had no team.
So he went at 1t with a shovel.
Working on the side of the well next
to the road, he began to dig and to
throw the dirt into the well. He kept
this up until he had filled it, which
was not a diff ,ult Job, as the well was
rather shallow.
But when the task seemed finished.
Ezra found that he had made new
hole by the side of the one he had been
filling. There was but one thing to
do; he proceeded to fill 1t In the same
manner. OF course, this resulted In
still another excavation, which In turn
received similar treatment.
AS all of Ezra's digging had been on
the side of the well nearest the road,
the result was that the hole in the
ground was finally moved out into the
highway.
Judson Tolliver was commenting on
the exploit one day down at the Cor
ners. "Queer thing Ezra did," he re-
marked. "You know that old well
that stood in his front yard? Well,
sir, he's moved 1t thirty feet from
where 1t was; moved 1t clear out into
the roadW
How'd he do it?" inquired another
representative citizen.
you'll have to ask Ezra" replied
Judson. "But he did it, sure enough.
| saw the well in the road yesterday,
and l Saw the track he made movin'
1t. The thing plowed a furrow four
feet wide all the way."-Youth's Com
panion.

way TO calculate what one ought to

then subtract feet from ones height
and multiply the number of inches that
remain by 5ls. Add This product to
the original ITO and he sum is ones
ideal weight.

ALWAYS THE OTHER FELLOW,


Children in their teens are wasting
their lives in the factory; it is nothing
to us-they are not OUR children.
A young man is found drunk and un-
conscious in the gutter; If it's OUR
BOY, there's something doing" But
if It's the street gamin-why "it's too
bad" and that's all.
A young girl is drugged by some
fiend; If she's OUR daughter the fiend
ought to be burned at the stake, but
if it's Mike, the well-digger's daughter
well, then'it's only the vulgar gos-
sip-and largely the girls fault any
way.
Mother and children in our block are
dying OF starvation; we can't help it,
we ssy-and we forget it. But II it's
OUR mother or OUR sisters, we are
willing to sell our lives to protect
them.
Hundreds are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
they don't belong TO our lodge, our
church, our .family-so it's nothing to
us.
II the unfortunate is a Mason, the
Masons will care for him; If he's a
Baptist oria Methodist, the brethren
will care for him
II he's not one OF our clan, our
clique, our church, our lodge-why
he's just fellowman.
And mere fellowman doesn't get
much consideration.
What frost our boosted civilization,
our Christianity is, anyway
There is something greater than the
lodge fraternity; more Divine than
church af1iliation--
1t is just human brotherhood.
Why haven't we less OF clique or
clan and more of the Divine human
brotherhood of men?-Milwaukee

Health is the source of beauty, and
every rnle for beauty is simply a rule
for health. a girl cannot have a
firm elastic body a clear skin, a fine
color and bright eyes unless she exer-
cises, sleeps and eats profusely and
sufficiently. All these outward charms
appeal to the eye, but how much
deeper and more lasting is the i'm
preston when there is beauty Of
character as well. 1t is not strange
how persons who seem plain and un
attractive to the casual leye, seen of.
ten, become absolutely beautiful to
us in their revelation Of character?
And how some whom we consider
beautiful at first, when better known
seem only ugly and unattractive, be.
cause of some defect of character,
Character will out. We may try 70
hide our defects, but it is useless. We
may deceive for time, but ere long
we are known and valued for what we
really are in spite Of all our efforts
