sick of it''-actually rather than

duty is totally lost in the frenzied de-

to make sure of being sent back to
a hospital
Evidences of overwrought nerves in
soldiers are found not only in the
trenches but in rest camps and among
men home on leave. A war worker
who returned from the front a short
time ago is credited with having said:
do you know the only time I have
heard American soldiers sing was at
religious services, and then those
HYMNS had many of them weeping.

Active steps have been taken by Sec

meet a situation in the gold mining
industry of the United States that is
regarded as -iecessitating national ac-

methods of relief" The price of gold.
it being a standard of value, has not
increased along with other commodi-
ties. Miners have left their work to
take advantage of higher wages in
other industries. There is presented
a problem of stimulating and main
tanning production as essential to the
economic welfare of the nation with
out increasing the price and so dis
turbing the standard of value. The
committee appointed to solve this sit

and mining authorities. If continued
mining of gold be necessary to the

conditions Griggs played q smart
round of nine holes, q 40 the second

the end, but the brand of golf that
Griggs was shooting was weil-nigh
unbeatable.
Quite a respectable sized gallery

contest. which Is everlasting evidence
that when one is once bitten by the
golf bug" he will defy, the elements,
and nearly everythingSelse, TO crafty

1t is announced that the city will
postpone the erection Of the Fourth
street bridge until prices come down.
If the whole country shall follow To-
peka's lead, there soon will result a
decline in value that will produce a
situation as close to a panic as the
United States can get. 1t is expected
that private capital will hold off from
it's customary activities until the cost
of labor and material be reduced. 1t
is up to the federal government. the
states the counties and the municipal
tiles, therefore, to keep the wheels OF
industry turning. Unless somebody
keep business moving, idleness and
hard times must result. Action should
not be postponed to spring. The time
to start things is now.
