Charge the Line,

Charge the Line.
Soon the balmy breezes productive
of colds and sneezes. will dispel our
dreams of winter, deftly throw us off
our guard; soon we'll see the red
checked maiden and her brother
Johnny spadin' in their Uncle Sammy
garden and a-rakin' up the yard. These
and other signs will tempt us-and
the pipp germ won't exempt us-to
remove our fuzzy wuzzies and our bee
veedees to don. When our last wish
has been granted, and our friends have
got us planted. we won't need our
burr-lined heavies, but we'll wish we'd
kept 'em on! But, however, do not
shiver at this warning; do not CULVER.
Buy some goozum for your system
and prepare to charge the line. Should
you see grip germ, swat him on the
beezer when you've got him. To the
scrap heap then consign him. and
you'll be progressing fine. List to
us-there is no reason just because
this is the season when the tickle Jade
of springtime stalks her prey why you
should wait. Pipe the girls in scant
apparel, needing censors or a barrel;
fear they not the germs, the dear
things. Emulate them-laugh at
Fate.
The folks will treat him like
An ordinary man who has done his
duty,
And has done it well.
That's what he would like.
We hope nobody will run him
For president,
Or give him a house and lot,
Or name a state after him.
We want to remember him
As a great national hero
For long, long time.
We predict that when Charlie Chap
lin gets to the front, he will be the
hardest man the Germans ever tried
to hit. Being used to wearing a Gus
Itard pie on his face, the gas mask will
be only trif1ing Inconvenience.
Charlie should make a great soldier,
and he will.

The old theory that Competition Is
the life of trade" may have been all
right in a way but competition has SO
often proven the death of profits that
il is being rapidly consigned to the
scrap heap. Attempts of big business
in the past to eliminate competition
by the formation of combines, mer-
gers and trusts have been frowned
upon by the public and met by drastic
adverse legislation. Some of these
business organizations have managed to
evade the laws and have been thus
able to serve the public more cheaply
than they could have done in the alb
sence of what approaches monopoly
and at the same time have conducted
their affairs at good profit, altho COM
PEELED to make large expenditures of
money in fighting the laws. But
things have changed and the govern
ment now is engaged in promoting
mergers and combines for the pur-
pose of doing away with competition.
The gathering together of all the ex-
press companies under one manage
ment is the latest instance of this ten
dency of the times. Thus is the poll
tician being robbed of one of the chief
assets of his profession. He no longer
can inveigh against the trusts with
out humping up against the federal
government.

a half nights the writer spent in Phil
adelphia, he attended two dinners with
the Pettengills, one luncheon and
came very near another one with
them, making four in all.
1t was this way: Going up in the
elevator one morning Herbert Hous-
ton, heretofore mentioned, presented
me to Mrs. Lon Hocken; she seemed
to know me. I thought of the stereo-
typed expression, but did not utter II:
you certainly have the advantage Of
me- had never seen her before 1t
quickly appeared that she had read
the State Journal at Lawrence; Kan,
where she had been a student; in fact,
we were fellow alumni of K u, or
rather she was an alumna and I was
an alumnus.
1 intended to get off at the second
floor where they we're giving out
badges, tickets and other insignia for
the convention delegates; but having
been introduced to Mrs. Hocken and
hearing her tell the elevator man she
wanted to go to the twelfth floor, I
concluded to stay aboard for few
minutes longer.
Berry," she said. You can remember
it by thinking of blackberry or straw
berry"
AS a matter of fact, 1 remember her
maiden name by thinking of buckle
berry, my favorite berry, but that is
W. like Weller in Pickwick.
You probably knew my father,
Senator Ed Berry"
II certainly did" That comes of
mixing with politicians. altho not one.
instead of being a ladies' man, or I
ago.
The elevator man kindly stopped at
nearly every floor to take on or put off
passengers. By the time we reached
the twelfth story I not only had in my
possession from an original source a
concise biography of the interesting
lady, but she had also invited me to a
luncheon that day noon.
This seemed to me rather rapid, as
l had known her not to exceed three
minutes. She said: IF you will come
to luncheon with me here today I will
invite my friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Pet
tengill, to go with us. They are here.
They live in St. Louis, where my home
is now" Her husband is a lawyer
there.
This is hard luck" said I. About
two weeks ago 1 accepted an invita-
ton to luncheon today noon in this
hotel and 1 don't see how 1 can ac-
cept or help it,
Here was case where one would
| like to be in two places at the same
time. particularly one of them.
| BY the way, 1 think probably Mr.
Pettengill will be at the same
| luncheon"
Well. I will give up my luncheon
| party for today" said she.
Here the elevator reached the
twelfth floor and she said goodbye
OF course, l was sorry that her room
was not on the twenty-second floor
to which I journeyed alone, then re-
turned to the second for my creden-
tials.

The next morning, lone was arrang-

way rougher-the mountain rising
like a wall before the beauty-lured
traveller. In the old days Molo was
the mountain regions sole defense
against invaders and the path was not
meant to be smooth. The pious peas
ant folk have strewn it with tiny
shrines where the traveller may rest
and pray.
The cottages extending along mar
row, crooked streets are low and gray.
Many of the rough thorofares are but
a continuation of the mountain path,
uneven steps hewn from living rock.
The cottages themselves are of stone,
huge slabs of mountain granite. The
walls are often a foot or two in
breadth-built hundreds of years ago
to last thru the centuries. If not eter-
nifty Molo, perched as it is above
the clouds, is one of the oldest towns
in Sicily, perhaps the most ancient of
all the mountain villages.
Across the valleys and mountain
peaks, old Etna lifts hef majestic
head, her furrowed face turned
toward the sea; but Molo, on the
brink of her precipice, Indifferent
alike to valley and sea, stands guard
over the mountain way.
