OCTOBER.

1T makes me feel sober to know that October is just
! about due at the door; her curves all remind me
of longs years behind me- and short ones that
stack up before October is ghostly she's saddening
mostly, with leaves falling down from the trees with
forewells to robins and bees. Oh, dreary October,
nights that are chilly and rains that are silly, and
in sadness they robe her, her garments are ashen
and brown; the years growing older and feeber and
colder, which reminds me my suns going down.
October's the token Of joys that are broken; the
roses are withered and gone nasturtums and asters
the lawn. It rains but the water would have to be
hotter before it could nourish the heath it's raw and
it's chilling and clammy and killing and brings me
message of death. The cool winds are signing, the
wild geese are flying and honking like automobiles;
their wide wings are hummng, they herald the COM
ing of weather that promptly congeals. The sum-
mer's departed and Autumns well started, and win
ter will come with rush, the winter so yellow,
then happy the fellow who's saved up package of
cush.

DANGER EITHER WAY

/7yRADES UNIONISM is an excellent thing; it is
weapon against the tyranny Of capital
l. Capital is necessary thing; without it nc
industry can develop.
But the overdevelopment of either is dangerous
to democracy-and democracy must survive anc
must rule When either of them attempts to b>
master rather than servant of the body polite, oul
freedom and our national existence is menaced by 9
disaster as grave as invasion by foreign foe.
Radicalisn either way will accomplish no gooC
results.

Every day brings it's payroll robbery and banl
robbery in our large cities. The public has become
so familiarized with the features which are stand
ard in all the exploits that it hardly gives any rec
ognition to the news. 1t merely compares the
amount of the loot with that obtained yesterday and
forgets about it. Why get excited? Therell be an
other tomorrow.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
For EX-SERVICE MEN.

War Department, Washington, Of
flee of the assistant to the secretary
of war, service and information
branch.
Chairman, bureau for returning
soldiers, sailors and marines.
Dear Sir-The United States Civil
Service in Washington, has called our
attention to the Civil Service oppor-
tunities for ex-service men, and has
asked our cooperation in bringing
this matter to their attention. Think
ing this may be of interest to you,
we are sending the following infor-
nation for such use as you may de-
sire to make of it:
"Nearly ninety thousand persons
will be engaged in the work of col
lecting the facts and figures about
Uncle Sans gigantic family after
January 2, 1920, as that is the date
set for beginning the enumeration of
the population of the United States.
In this project nearly eighty thou
sad workers will be egaged in field
work, while a balance will comprise
Washington office force, where the
tabulation, classification and statis-
!ical work will be done from the in
formation secured from representa-
tives of the census bureau in the
field.
"In this, as in every other govern
ment activity, soldiers, sailors and
marines will be given preference in
appointments. This is accomplished
by giving all service men preference
on the eligible list of the civil serv-
ice register. The majority of the ap-

whose wives are sualified to hold such
positions. Details of this bill can be

1t is evident that too many people who don't
grow, or transport or even retail foodstuffs have
voice in arguing what the price is to be-and get
paid part of that price for arguing about it.
This sort of thing is unwarranted and needs
changing, folks. But how are we going to do it?

the logical solution, and make himself famous anC

OURSELVES, OR OTHERS?

TVERY few days some prominent man come to
~ the front with harangue to the effect that
- America must save the world" And when
traced down, these statements invariably find their
origin in the international bankers of Wall street.
The United States has already contributed its
blood and treasure in Snatching victory from defeat
for the allies. 1t threw the might of its weight into

time to jail the profiteerS and make living conditions
in this country such that poor man and his family
may eat three meals day.
1t is time to stabilize economic conditions to
such extent that we will have an end to these in
terminabe strikes and labor disturbances.
1t is time to enforce laws that will curb the un-
ruy element that is constantly stirring up strife be-
tween the races.
1t is time to make America safe for Americans.
These periodical spasms about "America saving
the world undoubtedly fit in nicely with the heme
Of the international bankers who want to finance the
reconstruction of Europe to the detriment Of our
own country thereby ping up fresh billions in pro-
fits for themselves, but they do not appeal very
strongly to the man who believes in saving his own
country first.
The government has taken sudden and deter
mined stand in the fight to force prices down to
bounded success in this audable undertaking-and
it will if the interests of the great of the people
are considered.
Then, when America is saved and is on a sane
and stable basis of economic conditions, it will be
time enough to talk of Saving Europe and the
world"

The Wonders Of America
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.
By T. T. MAxEY

GLACIER is one Of the newer of our
VI great outdoor museums" or ma
tiOnal parks. Scattered throughout its
1,4O0 square miles is tumble of noun
tains, glaciers, rivers, lakes and water
falls which looks like "the Great
Builder had left the odds and ends of
his world making here in one disor-
dered heap"
A newspaper man toiled hard to
reach the top of one of the skyland
trails. Resting on a boulder and look
ing far out over the forests, across a
flower valley to superbly
beautiful mountain lake, he declared
he had discovered "Where God sat
when he made America"
The dominating feature Of Glacier
Is it's magnificently carved mountains.
1t contains some of the most tremen-
dous panOramas in the world. Some
Of it's peaks remind one Of cathedrals.
others Of forts and castles. The suns
and winds of hundreds Of years have
tinted their SUBMITS with varying
hues. Often their sides are covered
with great, slow-moving giaciers-ice
fields, some Of which travel fully five
inches in a year. Between or below
them are splendid forests Of pine. The
meadows between these wooded
patches are riot Of wild flowers.
But the supreme beauty of this park
is its mountain-hemmed, mirrorlike
lakes, fed by glacial streams which
tumble down the mountain sides, often
In tall, ribbonlike falls of great beauty.
Add to this an occasional glimpse of
a Swiss chalet (for the accommoda-
ton of visitors) and you have an un-
beatable combination for the true lover
of the wild and the beautiful.
