big machine like the locomotive about
which Walt Whitman wrote a poem,
Deems would be classed as an engi-
neer by any stranger accustomed to
putting men into pigeon holes.
A PROBLEM FOR
THE POLITICIANS
He is a great mechanical engineer
of course, but he is equally an engi-
neer from machine tools to the food
administration and his farm in Iowa
The best definition of an engineer is
this: A man who does with one dol
lar what anybody else would require
two dollars to accomplish. That is
exactly what j. F. Deems is, in every
phase Of his work and throughout
his life 1t shows in his philanthro.
pies and his pigpens, and it would
show in his success as an executive,
whether he were bishop or president
doing big things with precision and
thoroughness in the best and most
economical way.
l made this study and these obser-
vations before he made the announce
ment of his candidacy for the posi-
ton of executive of the state of
Iowa, to round out a lifetime in
CASCullNS posSlJlOIS at lCdSl
as large. 1 knew that in 1916, the
farmers Of his own county had
started a movement to nominate him
for governor movement endorsed
by many of the leading newspapers
of the state-but he declined to al
low his name to be used then. How
he himself looks at his candidacy this
year, became an interesting question
,akx -
farm The answer came Indirectly
in the newspaper Of my home town
SELECTING A
GOVERNOR
1t seems that Deems has an idea that
iowa voters this time are going 10
adiourn the old style political con.
claves and hold a big, statewide
town meeting on primary election
day to pick the man whose expert
ence best fits him for the job they
have to fill in the capitol. 1t is
characteristic Of him to look on the
governorshfp as job-and he will
like it, because he viii make work
Of it and find hard work to do IN 1t.
He had started on his nrst vacation
from hard work he had been able to
manage since he entered the world
war, and he was caught on the road
by an interviewer from The Gate
City. The essence of what he said
in answer to the question suggesting
surprise at his departure soon after
announcing his candidacy was this.
81 believe the Iowa voters are not
going to the next election to confer
on any man the honor of being an
officer of this great state, but are
going thee, more than ever before,
to hire man TO work in each one
of the jobs they have at the capitol
at Des Moines. Just as they elect a
thorough schoolman to be state sup
erintendent Of schools, they are
going to elect a governor who is
enough of an executive to manage
their affairs. Just like practical
farmer manages his farm"
That will be something rather un.
usual in American politics, at any
rate.

Uncle Sam, but not informed about

loyal people willing to sacrifice for
| Uncle Sam. but not informed about
all the complicated intricacies woven
| into the food administration, as well
Eas by people who were not patriotic
and were profiteers. But j. F. Deems
never thought of that while he was
doing the work. He simply did his
work each day, as he had been doing
other great work all his life-and he
gives all the credit for the success
| Of the food administration to his sub
ordinates.
AN APPRAISAL OF
ONE PERSONALITY
The undergraduates of this man
| is the most important thing about
him. He personif1es iron and steel in
! its complex utilities and stability.
| But his personality does not sug-
gest hardness which connotes the
heart-it is his brain that works like
steel machine, and his heart pull
safes with the heart of humanity
He is a very human man, because
he always feels himself part of the
great, coalesced mass Of humanity,
rather than detached individual.
He talks of himself as a part of, not
the overload over. the large organi-
cations in those railroad shops, the
food administration, every work Of
which he has been the executive
head
1t is this feeling that gives him
dignity with cordially, mildly plea
SAINT manner Of comradesnip without
effusive pretense of intimacy. Terse
in conversation, he has been truly
eloquent at times in formal nd.
dresses, as at college commence
ments-but never a rhetorical weaver
of words into rythmical rivulets CT
alliterative language delightful to the
ear. but as tasteless as the lotus ard
without nutriment for the mind. Sim
cerity is one Of his dominant traits.
and holds him to the friends he
makes, and accounts somewhat for
that collection of signed photogra phs
on the wall Of his worKroom at For
estdale farm.
HIS WIFE is A
CHARMING WOMAN
He gathers the same kind of men
into his working organizations With
shrewd, quick appraisal of values in
people. His household fairly ra1iates
that same personality. The girl he
married in Ohio is today matron
of the quiet dignity that would grace
any court in christendom and The
sincere, heartfelt, genuine interest in
the welfare and feelings CT theirs
that make her called 6 woman OF
great charm by the casual visitor to
her home 1t is, a safe guess, that

lar physician there. incidentally,

There is no physical nor facial
type in the engineering profession,
but ]. f. Deems looks like what I
conceive an engineer ought to look
like-perhaps because half dozen
of the greatest engineers in the
world have those same physical
characteristics Stocky, moving not
rapidly but with the CELEBRITY of sure
ness and precision, with nothing sug-
gNsting beauty, but the grace of the

Pupils to Observe
Thrift Day October
10 in All Cities

st. Louis, Oct. 7.-The pupils in
sury to join with the )school chill
dren throughout the United States
Carter Glass, secretary of the trea-
the school Of Missouri, Arkansas
and Kentucky have been invited by
in making Thrift Registration Day
on Friday, October 10th, huge sue
cess.
In letter written by Secretary
Gless in Washington last week, and
address "To the School Boys and
School Girls of America" he says:
"In addressing the twenty mil
lion or more school boys and girls of
citizenship-the business and pro-
ducers and consumers and the home
makers Of only few years hence.
The responsibility Of all the pro-
blems of our country will ultimately
fall upon you. The spirit of patrio-
tism and helpfulness which you dis
played during the world war has
proved your fitness for your future
responsibility.
ut is the earnest desire of your
government that you should con-
tinue to practice and make perman-
ent those same habits Of industry
and economy, that through your in
influence and example America may
soon become nation of savers and
cease to be wasteful nation; that
this may be nation of people who
always save some part of their ear
nings, who spend money with great
est care, and who invest what they
save in some safe place.
II am glad to see that our school
boys and girls have continued dur
ing the vacation months to save their
money and are buying Thrift and
War Saving Stamps, thus laying
aside portion of the money they
earn for some future purpose, and
while they are continuing to render
some service to their government,
they are at the same time providing
for their own needs.
1.-THE habit of earning and saving
money is most interesting and hap
by one. I am sure that this habit
has become so fascinating to you that
you will continue to earn and to
save through all the months and
years to come and keep investing
what you save in government securi-
ties.
ut is my personal hope that the
lessons of thrift that are being
taught in your school may help you
to develop in your life permanent
habits Of saving and thereby lay a
foundation for your personal happi-
ness and usefulness and ultimately
for bigger and better America.

being attended by crowds of foot
ball enthusiasts, the football mater
ial of the University of Arkansas
is being rapidly nodded into SEM
blance of a real eleven by Coach
James B. Craig.
The first scrimmage, held Wednes-
day afternoon, brought not only a
crowd of students out but numbers
of toWnspeople, to see the fray. Be
fore each mixup Coach Craig puts
the grid candidates through stiff
workout, having them run signals,
punt, run back punts, tackle dunn
mics, fall on the ball and charge the
line.
The so men out for practice are
providing pliable to the direction of
Coach Craig. who, by the way, was
one of the best athletes ever turned
out by Michigan. He played halfback
on the Michigan team for three wears
and was also member of the track
team. He was not only on the All
Western team for several years but
was placed in 1913 by Walter Camp
on his All-American eleven.
The ga" men who are out for the
team this year include: Captain
James W. Coleman. Strong: James
Ewart, Bonneville: Tate McGill. Chill

Although the decision of Gene Dav-
idson, Fort Smith, Lydle p Smith,
Sloan Springs and Ernest Brazil,
Ashtown, former Varsity members,
to not go out for the grid sport came
as sudden blow, it nut renewed
effort in the playing Of aspirants for
the first team.

Bar LOve-Making
On the Grounds
of Kansas School

Salina, Kan, Oct DIR. J.. b.
Bowers, president of Kansas Wesley
an University, thinks cc-educational
should not be oo-educational," and
he has issued an order to students
in going to and from classes will
rot be tolerated this year. What is
more, Or. Bowers talked right out
in a chapel meeting and laid the
law down plain and flat.
"A educational institution is
just what it says" DR.. Bowers told
the students. at should be pro-
nc,mced just as it is spelled, too, and
not coo-educational,' as is often the
case in school like ours"
He said that it didn't look good to
see the students "paired off" as they
went to and from class and school.
He Indicated that the students were
in school to learn something and not
to plan weddings.
All this is new in the Kansas
schools. Since the beginning of the
co-educational institutions love-mak-
ing has been at least an important
incident of school affairs. The pow
ers that decided what should be
TAUGHT in the schools went out of
their way in some instances to make
leve-makin@ easier than it ever had
been before.
School structures were built with
numerous hooks and crannies for the
lovclorn. On the campus they set out
many trees and bushes and placed
benches invitingly about so that
love making might be encouraged

Dear Mrs. Thompson. l have been
going with a nice young man for al
most two years and although we are
not engaged we love each other very
much. We go to parties, dances and
shows together and when he escorts
me home at night he always wants a
goodnight kiss. At first l refused
him, but the last few nights l have
given him his kiss.
Is this the proper thing to do since
we are not engaged? l am afraid l
will spoil him if l humor him too
much. ALICE.
A girl is not supposed to permit
a young man to kiss her unless she
is engaged to him. This is a pretty
good plan to follow. If girl makes
exceptions too often she soon becomes
promiscuous in her kissing.
