ARE ORGANIZED
Or. A. II. KENDALL Is TEMPO
RAR CHAIRMAN OF THE BODY

Soldiers of the World War from
Crisp are organized. This is one of
the first to be reported. DR.. A. II.
Kendall of Cordele is chairman and
Frazier Durrett is vice-chairman OF
the new organization which was form
ed in the office of DR.. Kendall Friday
afternoon following the exercises at
the school auditorium.
AS o body the men went out TO drlll
practice and marched through town
several times. Later some cars were
mustered and they went to ride ana
thence to the picture show in body,
It was decided to make the organl-
cation Temporary when the ofhcers
were named and these will serve I'M
til at time in the near future when
permanent officers will be elected
This was thought best since num-
bers Of the soldiers had had no oppor-
tunity to take part in the naming OF
the leaders.
Meetings will occur at intervals IN
the future and the soldier leaders Will
make an effort to establish athletic
events similar to those carried on in
the army.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Gibson and Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Knief returned home
Sunday from Cleveland, o., making
the trip back overland with two new
Chandled cars for the Gibson & Rog-
ers agency. Mr.. Gibson informs us
that the trip of S96 miles was made in
four days and the roads were excep-
tionally good. They encountered but
one mile of dirt roads in the states OF
Ohio and Indiana and Will says every
one apologized for that one mile OF
road He says that as far as the fer
.tility and value of the land in Ohio
and Indiana is concerned, it can
not compare to that of Craw-
ford county and if the people
in those states believe surfaced roads
are paying Investment there should
be no question of it here in Iowa. Most
of the hard surface was concrete Or
brick surface on a concrete base. The,
manufacturers at Cleveland are ex-
periencing much difficulty over labor
conditions and hardly a day passes
but what some sort of a strike is de-
clared. Production at the Chandler
factory has been cut down consider
ably on account of strikes and Mr.. Glib
son states that he was fortunate to
secure the two cars which he drove
back.

Servant Problem an Old One.

Parson Cole, who lived in the middle
of the 18th century, judging from one
of his manuscripts, was quite familiar
with the servant difficulty, which ap-
parently was just us acute as in these
later days. The reverend gentleman's
entry Is as follows:
t'Paid Mary her wages, and would
nd iet her stay, as she refused to
stop with me till Michaelmas. I don't
know where to provide myself Of one
in her room, but wilkes and Liberty
have brought things to that pass that

Stevenson and Lang.

Robert Louis Stevenson was "or-
dered South" and, as we know, he left
it on record that he never had been
quite happy anywhere except at
Hyeres. But that accomplished man
of letters, Andrew Lang, was of an
other mind He went to the Riviera,
and was bored by it. He particularly
detested being introduced to strangers
and having afternoon tea in hotels, SO
when the time came for his departure
to his last holiday he chose Ban
chory, on Deeside. "After ALL" said
he, ''there is nothing better than Scot
land" So he died in the land he loved.

There is much complaint on the part
of residents of Denison about the noise
made by the automobile drivers who
persist in driving through the streets
at night with the cutouts to their cars
wide open. Guests at the Hotel Denl-
som are particularly strong in their
condemnation OF the practice, and Den
ison is gaining reputation as the
noisest town at night on the North
western line. What, if anything, is
being done to put stop to the nui-
sance we do not know. Perhaps those
in charge of the city will be able to
enlighten the reader.
The epoch making transcontinental
trip of two complete motor transport
corps companies of war strength, con.

which will be followed over almost
the entire journey. The trucks are
scheduled to arrive in San Francisco

Senator Lodge Gives Young
Harvard Men Something to
Think About

What is the worlds greatest discovery or inventions
The question is suggested by the excellent speech of
Senator Lodge at Cambridge
The Senator gave the young who heard him plenty
to think about while they looking for situations OF
selecting vocatons hunting Jobs whichever of these
things Harvard graduate does.
The Senator led up to the question of great inventions
by pointing out the fact that the skulls of the prehistoric
of 10000 years ago just large the brains in
them just heavy as those Of the present day And then
he said
In science have made immense advances
building always on the everaccumulating store of
those who preceded u.s. and with mechanical advan-
tages always improving work.
But we do not in pure intellectual force surpass
the who first evolved the science of numbers
and by intellectual strength devised the sys-
TEN of geometry which every schooboy knows to-
day, or those men who by unasssted thought with
no knowledge except that which they could gain
with their eyes, developed the atomic theory

society," the world Of man, would be without fire
the wheel written language; the first the appli-
cation of natural force the last two pure human
inventions.
Along with the nebular hypothesis the atomic theory
has been thrown into the discard of science but the other
discoveries and inventions which the Senator mentioned
give rise to the question asked in the opening line of this
editorial
We should Like to hear the answer Mr.. Edison or Mr.
Ben or Mr. Carly Mr.. Marconi would give.
Certainly without the wheel and the principle of the
axis the mechanical world would become chaos But is
not the lever greater than the wheel?

Mr. Lodge gives it, but it not until printing from NOV

Civil Service Retirement Bill
Nearing Passage
Bv BILL PRICE.

The unanmity with which the House Committee on
Reform in the Civil Service has handled the Lehlback
measure for retirement of superannuad employees of the
Government indicates speedy passage in that body and
transmission to the Senate under circumstances that
decidedly hopeful that there will soon be law
In the Senate the matter is being given thorough aten
ton by Senator Sterlngs committee and that committee
is expected to report bill identical with the House. In
fact the bill that has been agreed to by the House commit
tee is now known as the Sterling -Lehlback bill.
Opinion developed at the hearings before the House
committee was that the bill is desirable from the
standpoint of Government and employees than any heretofore
drawn and for that should have strong support
both bodies.
Congressman who appeared before the House committee
were fully agreed that retirement should not be
delayed any longer Congressman La GUARDIA of New
York and SIMS of Tennessee pointed this out clearly So
did former Congressman HEATING now member Of the
Redistribution Committee provided by Congress.
Mr. HEATING stated what is no longer disputed, that
retirement law not to be regarded in the interest of
the employees solely 1t very greatly to the interest of the
Government Both humane and economic present

and it does this for efficiency In its workshops
Industrial and business corporations provide retire

faithful service and every corporation that follows this
plan materially lessons discomfort and dissatisfaction that
lead to social and political upheavals.
Distinguished statesmen at the Capitol who about

hook in the wardrobe, go out and
