spite of the pressure of urgent busi-
ness and family affairs Col. Roose-
welt since his return has engaged
in a number of informal confer
ences with other returned members
of the American Expeditionary
Forces as we'll as men who have
been continuously on duty In this
country.
In discussing the matter with a
representative of The New York
Sun recently, he said:
AS is natural. small organizations
of service men have sprung up here
ana overseas. All the men with
whom I have discussed the matter,
both in France and since my return
to this country, seem to be actuated
in their desire for a larger society
by the following motives:
First. they want to prevent these
local organizations from falling in
to the hands of unscrupulous in
dividuals who would use them for
their own aggrandizement.
Second, they wish to endeavor to
correlate the efforts for higher citi-
zenship and truer Americanism which
have been generated by this war. and
finally they are imbued with the idea
that there should be within the scope
of such a society great possibilities for
assisting the personnel Of the army
upon their return to civil life in the
necessary economic readjustments.
The personnel Of our army. more
than ever before in the history of
the United States. personifies the
youth of the country. The sympathy
engendered by the common purpose
and common sufferings of the war
ought to be reflected directly in our
government in the future.
Grover Cleveland said that IL you
could once get a question before the
people their decision was generally
correct. The sacrifices which have
been made for the country should
create in the minds OF those who have
borne the brunt of the struggle a
deeper and more intimate interest in
the government Of the country. A by
product Of the work of such a So
ciety as this will be to keep up this
spirit of service-to combat that feel
ing, so very apparent both here and
abroad, that the end of the war
means an end of much of the effort
OF the last two years.
This society from its very nature
will be nonpartisan in policy and
action. It may advocate policies.
but not politics. 1t will of necessity
be absolutely democratic in it's or
ganization. Every private soldier
will share in its government"
Such is the genesis of what prom
ises to be the greatest, as it is the
newest, organization of American
veterans. Will it WELD the influ-
ence which has only in very recent
years slipped from the thinning
ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic?
II the same proportion of vet
Grams of the great war enter the
new organization as appeared on
the muster roll of the Grand Army
of the Republic, 1t will have more
than twice the membership of the
latter. AS against less than 3.0o00, ,00(
individual enlistments in the Union
army during the civil war. nearly
5000. 900 men have entered the serv-
ice OF the United States during the
last two years-if the half million
who served ashore and afloat in the
navy be included.
Their proportion Of casualties,

THE HAY FEVER

We are giving that headline by
way of apology and explanation for
this page. We make not the least
claim to being an editorial writer, but
all know that there are days when
we are dull and our thoughts lifeless.
Our excuse is hay fever. With lots
of people it is poor excuse. A man
comes up to you, just before your
head is gone from sneezing, and says,
unsympathetically, you have a cold.
Yes, we try to say, but it's hay. And
then he turns his back upon us and
says we are trying to be aristocratic.
That makes us mad and we look him
full in the face and sneeze his hat
clear across the public square.
The diesase is not understood, even
by those who have it. 1t Is not at
all understood by those who have
never experienced it. That pollen
causes it all admit, and the only thing
to do is hunt a place where there is
no pollen.
We want to promise better editor
ials, even if we must write in a bath
tub.-Gainesville Sun.
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1919-10-09
WHAT DO YOU VALUE
MOST HlGHlYi

II you were required to make affl.
davit as to your most valued posses
sion, what would 1t be? Here Is a
question to inspire a heart-to-heart
talk with yourself. 1t is even possi-
BILE that you could give 1t an hon.
est answer for publication in the news
papers, but If you could you may feel
assured that you are exceptional.
Values, in fact, vary so much with
viewpoints that no one can measure
his possessions in terms that another
can accurately grasp, and possessions
themselves are desirable only as they
give use or pleasure. Two bellboys
in Paris not long ago stole a pearl
necklace worth thousand dolalrs
and traded 1t for two ice cream cones
worth ten cents. They liked the ice
cream cones better than the necklace,
and are probably having difficulty in
understanding why they and the ice
cream cone seller are in jail.
Then there's man who dimes at O
mahogany table with the finest Of
linen, the richest of food, the most
perfect of service, but while he is
dallying over the walnuts and black
coffee he is thinking of the most beau
tiful dining table in the world to him
AN old pine table, covered with a
cotton damask cloth, set with odds
and ends of old dishes, and on the
opposite side from him a sweet-faced
woman, her eyes alight with love for
him.

DELlRIOUS DITTY

Behold ye merrie husbandman
He getteth him still
To brew a brave concoction
OF which to quaff his fill.
He buyeth of ye raisin and
Ye lowly cake Of yeast,
And divers things to make ye booze
That helpeth at ye feast.
He worketh in ye cupboard dark
With nightly secrecy;
And oftimes he strayeth there
And gazeth gleefully.
So at We end Of several days
He straineth off ye juice;
He drinketh deep thereof-and then
He turneth to abuse.
He kicketh at we wachdog,
He sweareth at ye child;
He breaketh up ye furniture
In manner rough, and wild.
Right Justify he beateth up
Ye fond and loving spouse
Then climeth to ye qousetop
AS part of ye carouse!
Ye neighbors call ye constable
Who swacketh him full sore;
And in ye quiet of ye gaol
He sweareth "NEVERMORE"!
