WHEN my own true daddy came
home | asked him il he thought
heaven was better place than this, and
he lit his pipe and puiicd it quito a lot
OF times before he answered and then
he said heaven was mighty fine place
because my mother is there, and then
he putied a few more and said this was
a mighty fine place because I am here.
so he guessed he had better be neutral.
| guess he means neutral gender like
some OF the kids are learning about in
school and neutral gender is something
that isn't anything, being Just between
two things, and that means that he likes
heaven about as well as he does the
world, and of course | can't blame him
Tor that because | am about the same
way because my mother is in heaven
am ne IS here and so is ROwdy and the
baby | expect ! won't want 10 20 t1
heaven for a long time. When he went
to bed me and Rowdy rambled around
to see the baby, and it has got a buggy
with handle ON the back and a para
sol over II and it is certainly fine !
asked the siSter-in-law if | might take
her out and wheel her and she said not
for a few days yet | expect she is 20
new that she wants to keep her in the
house till she gets better acquainted
with her. She has only had her a week |

FTllIS was Thursday and ! have pot
to teach that baby to swim. too
me and Rowdy thought about that
the first thing when we woke mp this
morning and waited for daylight and
! talked to him about it until it was
time to get up. The teachers ought tc
teach everyone in school how 10 swim
and take them out 10 the river every
day all summer. | think BOYS are like
dogs about swimming, Just throw them
into the river and they know how tn
SWIM right away like a mud turkle
but a girl is different and has 10 learn
how ! do not know why that is so
but maybe boys are turkles or some
thing in heaven before they are sent TO
be horned and girls arc angels so boys
know how TO swim and girls do not
even know how TO fly because their
wings are taken away from them before
they are born into the world sun

fly back home right away / wouldn't
OF course but ! have got a strcck of

When school let out me and Rowdy
went right back there and the baby was
asleep but looked al its legs and they
/ are still bow legged, but did not have
a chance to-pull them straight because
the slster.iu-l3w was there and she
might not have liked H. ! looked at il
a long time and then the siSter-in-law
SAID she would give me n penny for my
thoughts, Sa | told her what was won
dcrng about was wondering whether
She was the baby's mother OF il | was.
! had prayed for it but she had rot
IT, so ! was not quite sure. but she
thought It over and said she felt sure
she was because he people that got
them was you'ually their mothers. and
! expect she is right but would have
been proud # it had been the other way
I ASKED her il | might take the
buggy out and wheel it around the
block and she said | might and Miss
Sands helped me down the steps with
IT, and | wheeled It quite awhile and
then ! got Rowdy 10 jump up in II and
! made him lie down and covered him
all up do not think he liked that
very well but he does what ! tell him
10, and ! guess he thought If liked !
II, It ought 10 be all right with him
Then a man stopped and asked me il |
he might look at my baby and | told |
him he might and he pulled down the !
quilt awful careful and Rowdy must |
have been watching for HIM for he
growlcd and showed the man every |
tooth in his head and the man jumped
back so hard that he almost knocked a
ten'e down and then when ! laughed
he said | was certainly an angel child
all right ! wheeled Rowdy quite a
while but no one else wanted to look al
hmm so ! missed a heap Of fun but may
be someone will want 10 look at him
tomorrow like to surprise people
When J took the buggy back in the

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART

- ONE observers think that
81 the most characteristic
thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers i'm France. some
thing which astounds the enc
my and excites the admiration
Of our allies. is the capacity Of
the American soldiers to do in
dividual things and fighting.
The German fights successfully
only in mass formation, in or
ganized bodies, while every
American soldier has an initi-
ative and independence of ac-
ton which gives him remark
able efficiency in open fight
ing. They are not senseless
cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in a great fighting
machine.
Every American at home
should feel an individual re-
sponsibility and do his on her
individual part in winning the
war. There is not an Ameri-
can citizen who can not help
win the war. The Fourth Lib
erty Loan drive, which begins
September %, offers a great
opportunity for concerted ac-
ton and for individual action,
and the loan viii be a tremend-
Gus success If each American
will do his or her individual
part as each American soldier

THE FATE OF THE CYcLoPs

~ HE name of the collier Cy-
" clops has been stricken
from the official registry
of the navy. This means that
all hope of finding a clew to
her fate has beenf abandoned
by the officials Of the depart
ment. II means that the giant
collier has become one Of those
mysteries of the sea that seem
destined 10 remain unsolved.
Other ships have sailed from
port and disappeared in the
fogs and mists and shrouding
haze. but none has been blot
ted out under circumstances
that appear SO uneXplainable.
The Cyelops was classed as
the most powerful auxiliary
ship in the American navy. and
was one of the largest colliers
afloat. Early in January Of
the present year she sailed with
200 men from a South Ameri-
can port bound for Hampton
Roads-and at once passed
out Of sight. Several theories
have been advanced to explain
her disappearance-a subma-
rine attack, a hurricane, an eX-
plOsion. One theory was that
she had been captured by an
enemy craft and converted into
commerce raider. The hur-
ricane theory is regarded as
the most tenable, but how does
il happen that no wreckage,
no piece Of the decking, no spar
no wooden part Of the ship has
been discovered?
Now, after the lapse On near
Is eight months, the navy af-
ficials have abandoned hope.
and the Clyclops finds a place
among the gruesOme mysteries
Of the sea. Yet time has solved
other sea problems, the disap-
pearance Of Sir John Franklin's
party was explained after ten
