BE A MAN

It's mighty good thing, while you're
running life's race
Just to pause, as you go, and come face
to face
With your conscience, and ask it
question or two.
For it's right you should know what
your life means to you.
Have you done things worth while,
have you drifted along,
Have you filled it with sighs, have you
filled it with song,
Have you helped when you should,
have you tried to do right,
Have you struggled for good, or just
fought for might?
Have you given your hand to some
fellow in need,
Have you sneered at the man who
was not of your creed,
Have you been open-hearted and
ready to do,
Have you tried to be just, have you
tried to be true?
Oh, it's easy to preach and it's easy
to tell
Of the other chaps faults-but our
own faults, ah, welll
We are towards at times, and the
truth, you will find,
Is thing we dislike, for it's rather
unkind.
But the Past, let it rest. Give
thought to Today.
And Tomorrow, as well, for the Times
growing gray;
Do the things that you should, do the
best that you can,
Crown your life with your deeds
be red-blooded man!

Do NOT HOLD UNION CARDS

Following is a press letter sent out
recently by the University of Arizona.
It might do we'll to pass it on: "These
eggs were laid by hens living frulI
daylight until dark and which were
fed upon wild maize grown by labor
which applied irrigation water IS
hours day.
"This butter was made from milk
which was drawn by a mixer who
pulled on his boots at five o'clock in the
morning to begin his labors, and who
who mas obliged to keep on the job
Sundays and holidays as well as the
rest of the days of the week.
''The cotton in this bale was cult
waited by a farmers son who violated
the rules Of skilled craftsmanship, do
ing the ranch chores after his ten
hours day on the cultivator.
'The head leaauce in this crate Sc
cured it's case of swell head by putting
in time and half and thereby violat-
ed the rules of the head lettuce union
which onl ycalled for one-pound head
instead of a two-pounder.
"This hog is rank outsider be-
cause by working overtime he grew
to 800 instead Of 200 pounds, and SO
helped to bring about over production
of a manufactured product.
'None of the farm crops nor Great
ures hold union cards, and since all
union rules have been violated in their
production we warn all union men that
hogs, hens and bossy cows are scabs
and are not to be patronized."

Clark their daughter, Miss Bonital
and their 17-year-old son. Adna, Jr..
went with Colonel Clark to Honolulu
on the transport Sherman.
Clark is a graduate of the artillery
school. the army school of the line and
the army staff college. He pursued
his military studies with the idea of
being a real benefit to the service, and
has served at many posts, always with
credit, despite a growing trouble with
hsi old wound.
Several times he underwent opera
tfons to obtain relief. and always up to
the present managed to dodge the re-
tirement board and carry on in active
service. His many friends in Law
renee and his former comrades hope
that Major Clark's retirement from
active service will allow him oppo--
tunity for leisure and recuperation.

not considering their one modern
hotel. there is no other city in Kansas
that has as many hotels able to offer
satisfactory accommodations as may
be found in Topeka. The fact that a
city con boast one first class hotel may
can handle large conventions.
Largest Convention Month.
While the list for April is large. it
is the largest convention month so far
slated this year. according to Guy c.
Sfckler, convention secretary. With
other cities taking advantage of tenn
porary blight on Topeka, it would be
well to make some effort to inform
the possible convention-going public
that Topeka is still equipped to ac-
commodate as large a convention as
the state can send here, Chamber of
Commerce directors declare.
Unequalled railway facilities for To-
peka are an invaluable asset that have
always acted toward making Topeka
the most convenient convention city in
the west. Dozens OF trains coming
into Topeka daily from all parts OF the
state are a factor that must be con-
sidered by convention delegates.
The convention bureau of the Cham
Der of Commerce, handled by Guy C.
Sickler. has been highly efficient in
providing assistance in lodging places
for hundreds of persons who come to
Topeka, unacQuainted with the city, to
attend various conventions.
