steps more would have brought him
within jumping distance. And right
then along had come Buster Bear.
Old Man Coyote had been forced to
lie still and swallow his disappoint-
ment as best he could. He had seen the
other young Gobblers and the Grouse
come, look and go away. He had been
obliged to listen to Buster Bears grunts
of pleasure as he filled his stomach,
while all the time his own stomach was
empty. And he had understood perfect
ly that when Buster finally did leave
the others would not return, because
they would know 1t was useless.
So. you see, Buster Bear, unknown
to himself. unknown to everybody but
Old Man Coyote. had done his neigh
bors good turn. He had saved the

A deed that makes our neighbors glad.
Alas, that in that selfsame way
1t happens that we make them sad.
1t is a fact. one Of the truest facts In

That is the real meaning of influence
We are influencing the lives Of those

Your simplest act may influence the life
of some one else, and you may never

very. very careful all the time what we
do and say.
Buster Bear hadn't the least thought
of doing anybody a good turn. Buster

WILL BE SHORT OF DOCTORS
The War is Draining State Of Most
of Its Best Physicians,
Say Officials.

When the United States gets it's
full army over to Europe, Kansas will
be exceedingly shy of good physicians
and surgeons. Most OF the first-class
doctors and surgeons will be with the
troops. Of all the professions, the
medical men are showing the most
patriotism. They are volunteering by
the hundreds, but still there is a
shortage ot surgeons in the army.
Next to common soldiers surgeons are
needed in tho greatest number.
1t takes private soldiers and sur
geons to win a war. The outcome
doesn't depend entirely upon the stay
at home farmers, as many of the poll
ticians are now preaching. Many of
the big surgeons of the state have not
only volunteered their services but
have offered to equip field hospitals.
Two Topeka surgeons, DR.. McClintock
and DR.. Bowen, even offered to estab-
lish and run a base hospital, but the
war department has been compelled
to reject all such patriotic offers.
1t is organizing the hospitals, both
field and base, itself, and will permit
no others to be organized in the fu
ture. Early in the war game it did
give authority to one or two sets of
surgeons to organize hospitals, but it
has now changed its policy in that re-
spect. Nearly every surgeon of any
consequence in the state has offered
his services. The surgeons are not
so particular as to what rank they are
given. They are ready to go in most
any capacity, just so they can go and
the threatened exodus of first-class
surgeons to Europe has caused alarm.
One big Topeka hospital may close
during the war on account of losing
its surgeons and nurses engaged in
war work. 1t is barely possible that
the hospitals of the big cities will all
have to form a pool to take care of
the home situation during the war.
Next to medical men perhaps the
newspaper profession is furnishing
the most soldiers-that is, from the
professions. The training camp at
Fort Riley is filled with newspaper
men.

Golf LINGO Made Clear,

Henry's father was a golf enthusl-

the game. One time he asked:
'Henry, why Is 1t that men who play
golf always yell fore instead Of look
out or some such thing?"
Henry thought for a second time be-
fore an inspiration came from looking
at his young sister, who was diligently
getting her arithmetic.
"You see," he replied, ut takes too

so much like 'two-two' that they just
