named Jim.
"Well, look at this fiddle of mine,'
said the first elephant, named jamie.
ut does seem pretty funny" said
a third elephant named Norton as he
looked at the bugle which he was sup
posed to blow. There were six ele-
plants in the band.

you're playing?" asked Jim.

"Well," said Norton, 81 know we're

that we may each be playing differ

Modern Life Is
the Cause of Ills

measurable degree of success is often
responsible for so-called mental or
nervous Ills technically termed psy-
choses or neuroses according to Doc
tor Williams, who uses Illustrations
from the recent war to make this
point clear.
During the war many men, finding
themselves In apparently intolerable
positions, sought unconscious refuge
In mental or nervous breakdowns. BY
tracing the history of the conflict so
terminating the greater percentage Of
the men might have been sent back
to their commands completely re-
stored and ready to face whatever
might come. In fact, Doctor Williams
says, many men of this type did re-
cover completely with the aid of rest
and proper psychiatric treatment, and
fought bravely.
The measure of mans success in
handling life's problems, according to
the article lies in his skill In adjust
ing himself to the complicated life Of
modern society. Some fail completely,
developing psychoses of a more or
less serious nature, others are partly
successful, but the difficulties of ad-
justment set up nervous disturbances
that render them neurotic, while the
majority succeed in making their adj
justments without too great difficulty.
Relieving Chronic Worry.
Even among those who are appar-
emily successful, however, thousands
are found who are annoyed by anx-
iety, who are Chronic workers." and
whose uneasiness arises from an inner
conflict which may be got at by the
use of proper methods and relieved.
Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious reasons for anxiety or fear,
and that these should not be over.
looked, but that often the real reason
lies deep and must be carefully sought
after before relief can come.
1t is in these cases that the psy-
chiatrist finds his deepest interest and
his greatest chance to help. "Where
the REACTION is out of all proportion to
reasonably assignable cause, or
where no reasonable cause may be
found, then expert guidance and help
are needed" says Doctor Williams,
citing instances of persons afraid to
ride in the subway, fearful of being
alone, in comfortable happy surround
ings and worrying. and crying with
out apparent cause.

really think, even considering our fine
memories, that we're as great musi-
clans as the performing seals. They
play with more spirit and they are
fine at all their tricks.

play an excellent game of ball, though
we can do that, too. But they look
so fine and funny and slippery as they
play and as their heads wave about.
''They seem so clever because they
haven't our trunks or great legs to
help them out. Eyes, they're a great
addition to the circus and as clever "a
any creatures can be-"
do you know" said Norton, "Pve
heard that people at the circus have
noticed our serious and solemn express
sions?"
"Why do you say serious and solemn
when one word will do the trick?"
asked jamie.
"Oh WELL" said Norton, sit is all
right. / have time. I'm not due to
go In the ring for quite little while"
"That's So" agreed jamie.
"pray continue what you We're about
to say and which l so rudely inter.
rupted."
81 was going to say that had heard
that folks had noticed how serious we
looked when we were playing, and
that they had spoken about It."

may think we're great musicians and
that we have great elephant souls and
that we would be In big city orchestras

not for the fact that we had promised
ourselves to the circus for good num-
Der of years.
Eyes. they may think that. for we
mustn't tell them that our great and
wonderful memories are the things
about us that makes us musicians.
We can remember what we're to play
and how we're to play 1t rather than
being able to play because we are mu-
steal to our finger tips, as the saying
goes.

ExiIed From Homes.
Since the beginning of the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
exiles from their. farms, deprived Of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, Il year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life of nomads, able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue of American
philanthropy.
These homeless people--"tlthy inf
dels" to the Turk--were good enough
to exert their poor might in our le-
half while the war was still in the
balance Massacres of half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and fo.

In other years of our own free will
we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our

GREETED FERRIS
NEXT SENATOR ENTERTAINED
AT SUPPER BY FIFTY LOCAL
DEMOCRATS TO WHOM HE Ex-
PRESSED HOPE OF VICTORY

Congressman Scott Ferris, candi-
date for the United States Senate,
spoke at the court house last Thurs
day night to crowd that filled all the
seats, tool up all available standing
room and overflowed into the haN.
Mr.. Ferris was met at Caddo, where
ne spoke in the afternoon, by a large
number Of Durant cars, and rushed
to Durant, when he was rendered
supper by fifty local Democrats, which
was served in four delightful courses
at the beautiful new White House
Cafe.
After the supper, Mr.. Ferris made
few remarks to his hosts in which
he outlined the political situation in a
national way, expressing his conf
dence in Democratic victory this fall.
Following the supper Mr.. Ferris
and his party repaired to the district
court room for the principal address
Of the evening, which was devoted to
the league Of nations for which the
party and candidates are pledged.
The address, which was forceful and
masterful, was well received by the
large throng that came out to hear
it and served TO clear away many an
honest doubt as to the association of
the nations Of the world, which had
been so often expressed.
Chas. P. Ahhn'. acted as chairman
of the meeting, introducing the candi-
date to the audience.
Friday morning a number of cars
from Durant accompanied MIR. Ferris
to Bokchito where he was to make
an address in the forenoon.
