The American people are noted for
their traits of individuality and diver
sity of opinion on all public matters.
However, sometimes, this trait is mis-
understood. We are all prone to try
to decide how the government should
be run. And, still, as nation we are
as loyal to our country as any. Be-
fore the war every individual had a
to to say about it. One thought this,
another thought that and third
thought something else As we get
down to the more serious business of
preparing for war on a large scale,
the scene changes. When our vast
liberty loan was floated, it proved that
the rank and file of the people were
sufficiently behind their government
that they were willing to invest their
earnings at mighty small rate of in
terest.
Two billions were the figures re-
questcd. Over three billions were sub
scribed. One and three tenths billions
were subscribed in amounts of $4,000
or less. This means that hundreds of
thousands of American citizens SUBJ
scribed. 1t means that hundreds of
thousands of American citizens show
ed in concrete fern that they proposed
to help furnish the cash to success
fully prosecute the war. The German
sneer that this as a nation of fat,
baid-headed dollar hunters isn't prov
ing exactly true.

Colonel Bids Newsy eood-ey.

He was one of those solitary-looking
men. According to the eagle device on
his shoulders, he was colonel in the
United States army.
He issued forth from a lunchroom on
lower Fifteenth street, and newsboy
not over twelve, stepped up to him
with paper. He seemed to be one of
the kids steady customers.
The unsmiling face of this man who
seemed alone in the world lighted up
Us he saw the boy.
"Good-by, old top" he said to the
youngster, as he took the paper, II
won't see you any more"
"Are you going to war?" asked the
boy, with an anxious note in his voice.
"Yeh; in a day or two now. Good-by,
old fellow"
The kid looked at him minute in
silence, and said slowly:
"Good-byw
The officer stuck the paper under his
arm and turned up Fifteenth street,
with strange mistiness in his eyes.
One got the idea that there wasn't
anybody else that the officer wanted
to bid farewell.-Exchange.

Heavy Work Done with Steel.

British and French alike use the
heavy grenade for defensive work.
where the thrower is sheltered by a
trench or shell hole. But when the
word comes to "go over" the English
give little thought to the grenade. The
bombardiers make few long range
throws as the force approaches the
other trench, but once in the Briton
does his work with the iron. The mop
pers-up who follow carry grenades for
their work, while their comrades tear
across country for the next trench.
This appears to be one of the essen
tial differences in French and English
grenade practice which the Americans
will be called on to decide between.
At present the opinion of the Amerf-
can line officers seems to lean to the
English idea that the light offensive
grenade is of scant worth. No decis-
ion will be reached until both plans
have been subjected to trial.

Apples and cueumbers:

Wsssps Newspaper Union News Service.
Rocky Ford.-That the farmers in
the Rocky Ford district will lose none
of their crops through being unable
to harvest them was decided at q
meeting Of few citizens called by
Mayor Reifel.
Owing to its being almost impossi-
BILE to secure help, many of the farm
ers are behind in the work of har-
vesting, and seed cucumbers, apples,
ETC., are in danger of being ruined.
Work has been done by the boys. and
girls of the seventh, eighth and high
school grades, who have saved large
acreage Of cucumbers. Some older
help is needed, and canvass was
made among the business men, who
are asked to work a. little harder
themselves and to let one or more Of
their clerks of; for a few days. The
appeal met with ready response.
The farmers are paying from $3.50
to $40 per acre for the gathering Of
their cucumbers. and anyone can
make good wages. It is proposed to
close the schools for two weeks.

"Say, Prof, how many taws win
you swap for my moss agate"
These are the sporting terms in the
vernacular which soon may be heard
on the campus Of IT, -ersity of
California, according t.. I'm Fran
cisco Bulletin. The spectacle of
group Of bearded dignified educators
squatting down on their 'hunkers,"
while one Of their number commands
their attention by the exhibition of his
skill, may be common one.
The new course in applied science
to be included in the curriculum en-
braces the ancient problem Of the ir-
resistible force and the immovable
body. 1t has to do with the tendency
Of one spherical object to impart mo-
ton by coming in violent contact with
another spherical object previously in
a state of inertia, when the first OBJ
ject is given certain velocity and mo-
mentum.
This is done by an intricate method
of expulsion, in which the sphere,
placed in juxtapositfon of the first and
second joint OF the thumb, is propelled
through space by a dexterous flip Of
the member, which previously hnd
been held In condition of suppressed
energy by means Of interlocking two
or more digits.
In other words. the game of mar
bles is to be part of the University
course. The ancient and honorable
pastime. by which the vernal season Of
the calendar is heralded by the small
boy, has been included in the scheme
of exercise in the gymnasium, accord
ing to the announcement of F. L. Klee-
berger. physical director.
Not only the undergraduates, but
the instructors and professors Of the
university intend to take a course. De-
grees possibly win be awarded the
most skillful. It is held that the ac-
tivity necessary to play marbles will
be beneficial to high measure.

Give cheerfulne.. = Chance.

Cheerfulness is much rarer quality
than is generally supposed, especially
among the rich. 1t was not common
even before we learned that, in spite
of Browning though God may be in
his heaven, nevertheless, all is wrong
In the world.
II most men lead lives of quiet
desperation" as Thoreau says they do,
it is, I suspect, because they will not
allow cheerfulness to break in upon
them when it will. A good disposition
Is worth fortune. Give cheerfulness
a chance and let the professed philoso-
pher go hang.-A. Edward Newton, In
