LEARN TO LIVE OUT DOORS.

Most ofus are already planning what we shall
do "when the boys come home.' They have been
away so long, on such dangerous, heroic mission,
that when they come back we will love them more
and treat them better than ever before. We will
appreciate them and take more time from our fool
ish hurryings for love and comradeship. We will
spend more time enjoying the human companion
ship of our boys and each other, says the Pueblo
Star-Jour
But if we spend more time with them we'll
have to spend it out of DOORS for they won't stay
in the house to play. The men in the army and
navy, drawn from the cooped-up places Of modern
social and industrial life, have suddenly been
taught the uses and delights of plain everyday
fresh air. They like it so well that they won't be
content with any other kind. They have learned
what it is to sleep under the stars-a JOY once re-
served to tramps and poets. They have watched
the exuberant glory and triumph Of rosy sunrise
and learned the solemn beauty of creeping twi-
light.
I'm Flanders field where poppies grow" they
Lave learned a new and mighty language of the
common grass and flowers and thrill to the song
of the lark that braves the battlefields they
er thrilled to solemn organ tones.
A day in June or October is more to them than
a square on the calendar. It is a God-given time
Of sun and air, and work and play, and friendship
and service-a glorious period of full use Of mind
and soul and body, for spendor Of living unguess-
ed in the old cooped-up life indoors
The soldiers have learned that outdoors is not
just an interlude between work and home and of
amusement Outdoors is freedom and health and
happiness, and if we want to work and play with
them hereafter we, too, shall have to follow them
out Of doors.

JOSEPH "A. THATCHER.

The late Joseph A. Thatcher, banker and phil
anthropist, was one Of those who came to the West
with rifle balanced across their Saddles and with
their eyes seeking every clump Of sagebrush and
greasewood along the trail for Indian headdresses
Like most Of those who knew the hardships of
early day western life Mr.. Thatcher came to his
later years with vision unspoiled. He kept pace
with the changes in thought-but he still held to
the simple creed Of the pioneers, that purses
signed to hang outward, that men were to be help
ed up and not showed down, and that it was no
crime for man to manifest an honest pride in his
own state and his own town
Mr.. Thatcher gave literally and took enjoy
ment in giving. 1t fine that he lived to see the
dedication OF his beautiful monument in Denver's
City park-the work Of one Of Americas greatest
sculptors in his greatest moments. Mr.. Thatcher
also gave much that is not on the records except in
human herats. He represented the finest type of
citizenship.-DenverT Times.

During this time there was little

they had no money to get them

Who won the war? is a ques'
tion that can be answered in but
one way
"The Allies won the wal"
1t is true that Europe owes
America debt of gratitude; but
stop to think what America owes
to England, France and Italy.
1t is time to ask ourselves what
kind of figure America would
have cut in the war if it hadn't
been for the English navy, to
saw nothing Of that mighty
English army, and of that
mighty French army. and again
f that mighty Italian army.
It is undoubtedly true that
America saved the allies from
defeat, but it wants to be renem'
cred that, even after our hoys
we're over there, America "ooIo
have cut sorry figure without
those lilies.
The English admiral recently
d. clared that the English navy
won the war; but what would al
+ he allied armies have done If II
hadn't been for the Fren h fac
tories that turned out the guns
and the MUNITIONS?
The French might say that
their factories won the war, the
Englist, that their navy won the
war. the Italians that the balanc
of power was with them, the
Americans ditto. but the facts
as indicated in the opening
statement, are that
The allies won the war.
