Those who attended the Liberty
Loan meeting at Glenrio last Satur-
day night, are not very loud in their
praise of the treatment accorded them
in the village on the Texas line. The
speakers did not care to practice on
their own delegation so that part of
the program was called off. The Red
Cross dance was success and more
than $50 were sent to the local chap
ter. 1t is said farmers out that way
are not very enthusiastic over this
Liberty Loan proposition. At Endee
only few miles west, it is quite diff
ferent. They are 100 per cent Amer

clear over the top, subscribing more

DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM
Youngsters Chief Enjoyment of Va

The best sort of vacation and the
only kind that really is n benefit to
the one taking it, according To Lewis
Weisenberger Is the one on which all
conventional rules of conduct are
broken. To enjoy vacation one must
do absolutely as he pleases, Mr.. Wei
senberger continues.
In proof of this contention Mr.. Wei
senberger tells the following story on
a young lad with whom he hibernated
in the wilds of Michigan for several
weeks this summer.
The campers had taken large sup
ply of towels with them, as bathing
was expected TO feature the holiday
events. On arrival at camp each mem

apportionment Of the towels and the
lad was duly included in the division.
On the second day of the vacation
week Mr.. Weisenberger was surprised
to find the young lads supply of
towels packed securely away in one
corner of the cottage, thus far I'M
touched. He Immediately summoned
the lad and inquired whose towels
he had been using, since his own sup
ply was undiminished. He was not a
little taken back by the lads reply
Jaw, l didn't wash my face yester-
day."
Even with face unwashed and tow

probably enjoyed the vacation TRIP
more than did any other member OF
the party, Mr.. Weisenberger says
And the reason for the lads enjoy

MAY MEAN MUCH TO WORLD
Ayiators Believe That Flying Is Bound

Flying, in the opinion of British
aviators, is going 10 change the char
acter of the worlds thought. II will
have broadening influence and 1t
will bring IL fresher, cleaner flow Of
ideas Into the brains Of men.
A man. the flyers argue, who has
seen before him ut the same time the
cliffs of England, the long flat fields Of
Holland and the smiling countryside
of Belgium and France is bound to
think In different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
ed by bricks and mortar. or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely. He will see
England and France lying close TO
each other. separated only by shin
Ing strip of water. He will see the
green and brown mosaic of Belgium,
which I'm It's turn merges into the dis
tant shadow of Holland. while, still
| further on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant lowlands sweep
on over the rim of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be-
tween individuals and cliques them
the birdman asks. He can cover with
his thumb from the heights fever
ish city swarmlng with million peo
| pie. What will he think of those who
live next to each other and will not
speaki How mean and petty theil
quarrels and jealousles and hates vii
seem.
The true meaning of human inter
course and friendship VIII come home
to him. He will gain an almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty
civil strife, MI will seem to hin
contemplate. Perhaps, say the avia
tors. this is the new view which vii
