The soul. and cankers there;
Corrodes the soul-bores through
The arrest soul. and lays
a burning cancer bare
Burning and soaring. turns
To ugliness. the fair.
There is a Thing that tears

His Temple pulls apart.
Insid ous. silent foe
OF happiness. 1t comes
To torture man, to bring
Distress TO hearts and homes.
Worry! The deadliest Thing
That ever poisoned life!
Child OF the devil, and
The luckless sire of Strife!
Work brings the flush of health.
Worry. the pale of ills.
Worry. the enemy of Man

Traditions are very right and proper things
to have, and fortunate is the nation that can
boast a goodly stock of them, but sometimes
they prove an Objectionable bar TO modern
progress. Just now Senators are so busy ad-
mirinS-and sticking to ancient traditions cs
tablished when this country was III its infancy
that they fail to note how the chariot of time
has rolled on for more than 100 years and
that the conditions which made them pos
sibie no longer exist. The chief trouble with
traditions is that the politician of today al
ways can find one TO support his contention
no matter how opposed it may be to the pres

SAYS GOOD FELLOW
FUND WAS A SUCCESS

The ladies in charge of the work
of the Social Welfare Club wishes to
tell the public, that they, as we'll as
others, appreciates the way the peo-
pie responded to the call for funds
and supplies for Christmas dinners
for the unfortunate of the city. They
say that while the outlook at first
was rather unsatisfactory, before the
time came for the distribution of
the supplies, Audubon had gone over
the top In fine fashion. The ready
responses made their work easier and
insured a fine dinner to practically
every poor family in the city. While
the city was little slow in getting
under way, when it did get started,
it went over in fine style.
The ladies will meet today and
sew clothes for the needy children
so as to keep them in school during
the winter months. One day each
month will be turned over to this
work during the winter.
Anyone having old clothing or
shoes not in use can telephone Mrs.
Fred Plaehn, chairman Of the com
mittee. and arrangements will be
made to get them.

II have read with great interest

wish to express my sincere apprecia-
tion of the value to the government
OF your effective and inspiring efforts.
at is a remarkable record of patri-
otto accomplishment, that an organ
ization of seventy-five thousand
speakers should have carried on so
extensive a work at a cost TO the gov
eminent Of little more than one hun
dred thousand dollars for the eigh-
teen month period--less than one
dollar yearly on an individual basis.
Each members of your organiza-
tion in receiving honorable discharge
from the service, may Justly feel a
glow Of proper pride in the part that
he has played in holding fast the in
ner lines.
May say that I. personally, have
always taken the deepest and most
sympathetic interest in your work,
and have noted. from time to time,
the excellent results you have pro-
cured for the various departments OF
the government Now that this work
has come to its conclusion and the
name of the Four Minute Men (Which
venture to hope will not be used
henceforth by any other organiza-
tom has become a part of the his
tory of the great war, ] would not
willingly omit my heartfelt testi-
mony 70 its great value 10 the coun-
try, and indeed TO civilization az 4
whole, during our perioJ Of national
trial and triumph.
II shall always keep in memory the
patriotic cooperation and assistance
accorded me throughout this period
and shall remain deeply and sincere
ly grateful to all who, like yourselves
have aided so nobly in the achieve
ment of our aims"
People throughout the state are
thus put upon notice that the work
Of the -Four Minute Men has been fin
