Mr.. Ficklin comes from the news
paper field where he has learned to
speak with confidence, authority and
directness on the subject in hand He
is man in dead earnest. He speaks
clearly and logically and gives to his
thoughts an intensely vigorous per-
sonality.
His lecture is survey of the man
of today in the grip of the social
apparatus he has set up. It is q lee
ture trimming with new thoughts,
bubbling from the mind and heart of
q man alive with love for mankind.
The following is pa rtial report
we have from Mr.. H. CRAFT of Belle
vue, Iowa, where he spoke Nov. II,
1917: "While the man (Ficklin)
is small of stature he was looked up.
on after his subject of Men and Ma
chinery was finished as mighty big
fellow in intellect, his delivery was
pleasing, fluent, and the remarks to
the point and easily understood by the
large audience who had the pleasure
of listening to him. Ficklin was
liked by all he came in contact with
while in our little city by his modest
manner, keen observance of things
and the humor he injects into his con-
versation with men.

ep.ed by the Romans When the year
as divided into ten months, With the
addition of supplementary days to
complete the period required for a
revolution cf the earth around the
sun.
When the calendar of Romulus was
amended in 713 B. C. by Numa Pom
3nl.ius and the year was divided into
twelve months December became the
twelfth month, but retained its original
name. The Emperor Comnodus, who
rcigned in the second century, attempt
ed to change the name of December to
Amazonius, in honor of fair favorite
of that name, whom he had painted to
resemble an Amazon. This innovation
was not popular, and when Commodius
died from poison administered by an
other feminine favorite the name of
AmaZonius died with him.
The ancient Saxons called the last
month Winter-monat, which was after
ward changed to Heilig- Monat, or holy
month, when they were converted to
Christianity. The modern Germans
again changed the name to Christ
monat, because the month contains the
anniversary of tine birth of Christ.

a wildeyed woman, all in black, who
had lost her mind. She launched into
a weird prayer, and wound up with this
prophecy which now seems to be COM

"The service of American women

up to the German nation an expression
of the Allied philosophy of humanity as

to replace.
Gall those who take the poor, the

cruelty ana inhumanity of war to their

lars in its treasury as thick as leaves
