SENATOR'S BUTTERED PATH
LED HIM TO THE SENATE

Butter! Did you ever hear of start
ing life with nothing but?
That is the way United States Soma
tor Gilbert M. Hitchcock started
1t was not by eating butter but by
going without it that he got the start
He says:
my father told me that If l would
go without butter for year. he would
give me calf.
"Why calf? I suppose it was be,
cause the young bovine animal nor.
:mally consumes, when fed on its moth
er's milk, lot of cream which might
otherwise become butter. Accordingly
| If | saved years butter / might be
deemed entitled to a calf.
Anyway, l went BUTTERFLIES, and |
got the calf
"a calf was of no use to me, so !
sold it and with the money bought a
few hens and a rooster, building I'D a
small trade in eggs and chickens,
which l sold to my own family and to
the neighbors.
earn money, and save it. If there
had been Thrift Stamps and War say.
ings Stamps in those days, he would
certainly have urged me to buy them.
AS it was, he acted as my banker
and added dollar for every one |
saved, allowing me good interest on
both.
Later on, l got a job with my faith,
er, and by the time I was 10 I had &C,
cumulated several hundred dollars.
With this paid my way through the
law school. On graduation had used
up about all of my money, but it was
we'll spent. The legal education that
I obtained was the most valuable part
of my training for the business of life.
If had not saved, could not have
gone to the law school. My savings
gave me that opportunity, and enabled
me to follow my bent"

Compressed Atmospherc.

If the atmosphere of tho earth were
compressed to the density of water, 1t
would occupy n space Of 1,26S.000 cubic
miles. The idea may be expressed
more wildly when it is said that the
whole gaseous envelope of the earth,
if compressed to this degree, would fill
a tank 100 miles high, 100 miles wide
and 100 miles long.

just the same as beds of rock now in

of the leading cit2ens of LeSkovatz, priests school teachers and such, had been dcportcd as those left behind un- Bulgaria. But that just lately they had been finding in the foothills of the mountains over which the road went, graves in which 30, 40 and 50 of these citizens had been bur jed after having been tortured and killed.
 In Leskovatz before the war stood one of the few large factories in Ser bia.
 It had been making wooden cloth for army uniforms and also linen cloth.
 The buildings had been filled with expensive machinery imported from Austria and Germany.
 When the Bulgarians came they put up the machinery at auction to en- terprising citizens of Bulgaria, and many of the machines carry tags are chalk-marked with the names of the successful bidders.
 They had not been able to trans port all of the machines before the SerbianS came back, though great many had been moved, but all those which could not be removed had been cleverly damaged, almost beyond pos sibility of repair.
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1919-04-19

All the engines, the various ma chimes for the manifold operations re- quircd in the manufacture of clothes, had been damaged at some vital spo-. All the leather belts and even the leather attached to rollers had been cut away. The boilers had been made useless.
 It is an open question whether the machines can be repaired and if re- pair were possible, as to whether it would not cost more than to take a fresh start.
 The owner, one of the few capita lists of Serbia, seemed to take an al- most melancholy satisfaction in hav- ing us sec how his life work had been destroyed. He seemed too old, too broken, and too discouraged to take a fresh start.

THE CALL.

There's, an office back III London, and
the dusty sunlight falls
With its swarms Of dancing notes
across the floor,
On the pile Of books and papers and
the drab distempered walls
And the boW1ers on their pegs be
hind the door.
There's an office stool in London
where a fellow used to sit
(But the chap that used to sit
there's overseas;
There's job they're keeping open
till that fellows done his bit,
And the one that job is waiting for
is-Me.

With the coats and cuffs and collars
and the long hours crawling

And the quick lunch and the same
old morning train;
T have looked on Life and Death and
seen the naked soul Of man,
And the heart of things is other
than it seemed,
And the world is somehow larger
than the god old office plan,
And the ways Of earth are wider
than I dreamed.
There's a chap in the Canadians-a
blinking good chap, too
And he Halls from back O. nowhere

And he saws it's sure some country,
and l wonder if it's true,
And I rather fancy that's the place

Will Smoking Be stopped Next?

Like the fanatics who have succeed
ed IN putting prohibition Of the sa le
ana manufacture of alcoholic liquors
IN the constitution of the United
states, there are others who would
now Degln campaign against snlok-
ing.
Ihe advocates of this new move for
the restriction OF the many by the few
are already designing posters to show
the evil effects OF smoking, Just AS we
USED 10 nave cartoons depicting the
"horrible examples of the LIQUOR
habit They published raanoe of
statistics showing the deleterious eff
fects Of tobacco, how men shooting on
rifle range lost is per cent. in their
score after smoking one cigar and
how pitchers lost II per cent in ac-
curacy in throwing a baseball a a tar
get after one cigar and IA 1-2 per
cent after two CIGARS
One way of getting rid of an alleged
evil Is to abolish the material through
which it works. If these persons could
prohibit the sale of tobacco, this OBJ
Vlously would prevent excessive smok-
ing. Therefore let us prohibit it, saw
the fanatics. But where would thew
stop? Next they may take up the
drinking Of tea or coffee, Of which
the essential bases are admittedly
poisonous.
Put these prohibitions in the con-
SlitutiOn. Add a new piece of patch
work to the glorious creation of our
Fathers. And after they have got the
constitution looking like the camou-
tagged side of a ship people will begin
to ask why we "idiotic Yankees"
should have a constitution at all
