Campaign Slogans.

In response to the appeals of the
Chicago Tribune for campaign slo-
eans for the Harding and Cox tick
cts hundreds of offers have come in,
some of which the Tribune, has the
hardihood to publish. Generally
speaking they appear to bear out the
educational tests of the enlisted men
which showed that we are an litter
ate people. The slogans printed by
the Tribune would ruin the chances
of any candidate, particularly those in
rhyme. There is a theory that slogans
are born, not made, or, like the fac
ulty of spelling English words, they
come by favor. They are inspiration
al and cannot be summoned at will. A
good slogan comes without thinking.
1t flashes out of the void.
1t is doubtful, however, whether a
slogan ever won campaign battle,
though if it happened to hit precisely
the issue in everybody's thought it
would help in substantial way. Prob
ably Wilson was helped materially in
1916 by the lucky che kept US out of
war;" deadly slogan that sprang up
from nobody knows what source. A
successful slogan is one that states the
main idea in such fashion that no
sort of reasoning can get away with
it. Whether there is any such is
sue in 1920 is a question, and if there
is no such fundamental issue slogans
will not help much on either side. But
all the slogan writer's are hunting for
the thought that is psychologically
basic in this campaign. We do not

"HeIIo" Purely American /.
Expression, but Originated
With French Wolf Hunters

You should try to learn the old wolf
hunters call, because you know the
wolf is a scout, and that should be the
scout call, writes Dan Beard in Boys
Life.
This call was used in France first
and afterwards in England, but there
are no wolves in England now and the
buglo call has been forgotten in bo3h
countries, therefore we paint it green
and call it our own" Even though
William Tell and Robin Hood bugled
the same calls before America was dis
covered, we can make it American the
same as we have made the old French
wolf hunters cry American. French
was spoken in English court circles, SO
the titled wolf hunters used the French
cry "hab lie loup" or "a lou loup, loup,"
being pronounced loo, the cry being a
la loo; the English put on the II AID
made it halloo, and we made it hello,
which is an American expression, as
all the telephone girls know.
SO the old wolf hunters bugle calls
which came here with the Huguenots
will also be American when blown
through wooden fiat-boatmen's trun-
pets.

Vast Quantities of Coal
Remain in the Mines in
an UnminabIe Condition

Mining is still conducted with seri-
Gus loss of life and a waste of material
amounting to $1,0O0,000 day. A gov
eminent estimate shows that of 6,000,-
100000 tons of coal mined in one year
(1914-1915), 100000 was left under
ground in unminable condition, says
Boys Life 1t is believed that more
than one-half of this loss is preventa-
he; $5O,0O0,000 worth of petroleum is
wasted annually and $75,000,0O0 in cox
ing coal. In 1914, 2,454 persons were
killed in coal mines.
To study and remedy such conditions
the government established in 1910 a
bureau of mines with headquarters at
Washington, an experiment station at
Pittsburgh, and an Office for the study
of smelter problems at San Francisco.
This bureau investigates mine eyplo-
sions and safety conditions, studies
mining methods with a view to pre-
venting waste and inefficiency, and in
structs miners in first-aid and rescue
work.

World to Eat Reindeer.

Reindeer will furnish the future
meat supply of the world-or of a
large part of it, so say explorers and
scientists. Incidentally, the reindeer
and the caribou are the same animal,
except that the reindeer was domestl-
Gated before history began.
In Alaska there are more than 10O,-
600 square miles of land suitable for
the grazing of reindeer; they grow fat
where cattle would starve. The rein
deer herds double every three years.
In Alaska II years ago the reindeer
industry was put on commercial
basis with 1900 reindeer. Now there
are over 100000 The surplus males
were killed this year to the number of
10000.
The enthusiasts are looking to the
day when Alaska can ship 100000
carcasses a year. These can be deliv-
cred at Seattle for 81 a carcass. The
average weight is 80 pounds. A pro-
duction cost of ! cent a pound is the
goal toward which the enthusiasts are
working.
At present a reindeer hide is worth
about 81 and the meat sells for about
80 cents a pound

lean missionary learned of his cOndl-
ton and although when he arrived the
sufferer had broken out with lOath-
some sores because of infection and
lack of proper care, this missionary at
once took him in charge and began TO
treat him. Daily for year or more
this missionary carefully bathed the
sores with ointment and tended Joe
Sokonik. While he gave medical at
tention, he taught.
When finally the loathsome disease
had been gotten rid of, SokOnik could
not move his legs, as they were dou-
bled up under him in a position from
which they could not be extricated.
Not dismayed, however, the mission
ary had built for him a sled which
fitted his condition. On this sled and
from it. Joe Sokonik determined to
teach his people. Daily he may be
seen in the village of Kivalina bump
ing along on the rough sled, pulled
either by dogs or by some willing
hands. And daily he teaches at the
school house, giving to the Eskimos of
the village from his store of knowledge
learned from the missionary.
At the school house his sled is
bumped up the steps to the main floor
and along the main floor to the plat
form, to which it is lifted, and from
which he teaches. AT the close of the
session the sufferer and his sled are
again bumped down the steps and off
to his home. But Joe SOkonik does
not mind: he is teaching his people
and he is profoundly grateful for what
was done for him. Although it might
be suspected he would bemoan his fate,
he does not. and is continually as
cheerful as his brothers in more for
tunate circumstances.
Although the Eskimo towns have no
chiefs, Kivalina comes nearer TO hav-
ing head than any other village, and
that leader is none other than the af-
fiicted Joe SokOnik. Joe is also the
hunt leader of his village and is an
nually elected to that honor. He is a
splendid leader and holds an excellent
record for craftsmanship. With Joe
Sokonik in the lead the people know
their hunt will be successful and he
has not yet failed them. From his
seat in the sled on the deck of a ship
he has brought down and continues to
bring down many seal, walrus or
polar bear.
Afflicted as he is, Joe can only sleep
by dropping his head forward on his
knees. That and the movement of his
head and arms is the only muscular
motioS allowed him since the disease

| tereSting stories of the Eskimo race,
concerning their customs and their
condition. He especially stressed the
terrific havoc wrought by the influenza
epidemic of last year in which nearly
half of the Eskimo population OF
Alaska was wiped out.
"They seemed TO have no resistance
to the epidemic" said the Presbyterian
secretary. Probably their dirty con-
ditions of living and homes helped to
spread the disease, and undoubtedly
their habit of herding together and not
separating the well from the sick ac-
counted in large measure for the in
roads made
If it had not been for government
regulation which prevented any traders
going to the infected districts or from
| the infected districts to the Eskinlos,
| it is probable that there would have
| been very few left of this race at the
end of the epidemic last year. declared
| DR.. Marquis.
One peculiar custom noted by the
| Presbyterian secretary was the Eskimo
| habit of building fences of whale bones
| about their cemeteries. 1t used to be
that whalebOne was regarded as very
| precious. but because of the many sue
cessful substitutes that are now being
used, 1T has lost much of it's CONNER
cial value. What peculiar property at
taches to the whalebOne that it should
| be such an excellent material for ceme-
! terry fences is not known, unless the
scarcity of other material makes it's
use cheap and desirable.

Steaming vermicelli of the endless va

trip to Alaska. But they are inor-
dinately jealous of their women. This
jealousy was formerly so strong that
before they learned better, fathers
would bite off their pretty daughters
noses in order to keep them in the
family longer, but more often an Eski-
mo, after marrying, would bite off the
nose of his beautiful wife so that she
would no longer have attraction for
other men,"
This nOse-biting was practiced fire.

selves were SO INSCRIPTIONS about
walking off with their neighbOrs' wives,
