Chicago that appended to the name OF Warren

types that always pull we'll together. The one
track mind is not present with them Nor was
lit recorded in their recent conference that the
one inquired whether the mind OF the other
went along with his.
Coolidge, out of his closer contact with ad-
ministrative problems as lieutenant governor
and then governor Of the Bay state, may have
arrived at better understanding OF the prob
lcms that await US than Senator Harding.
Where the one has been forced by his office to
theorize first the other has been called to act
first. The combination Of these two experiences

PTNcHoT POLITICAL HUMoRIsT.

One Of the distinguishing marks OF the true
radical Is his sublime belief in his own omnis-

nIe to his way of thinking. He may be unable
to convince himself of the pernanence OF his
cult But he never doubts that he knows 1t ALL

knowledge.

The Mail Service

Rockford Register-Gazette: A promi-
nent business man recently exhibited
envelopes in which he had addressed
mail to Portland, Ore. They were
finally returned to him with the mott
fication stamped: mo such postoffice
in state named" Portland is the
fourth largest city on the coast. One
of the baniIs of Philadelphia calls at
tention to the fact that the postal
service between New York and Phila-
delphia is so uncertain that some of
the business houses send over their
checks from the latter city to New
York by messenger rather than take
chances on the slow and cumbersome
postoffice. Philadelphia and New
York are ninety minutes apart and
the important business mail between
the two towns is probably the
heaviest handled in the world. Yet
the government service is so cumber-
some and slow as to make it neces.
sary for private enterprise to carry
its own mail.
1t seems to be the same all over
the country. In Rockford it took four
days for letter containing an I'M
portant Enclosure to cross the river.

RED CROSS HEALTH WORK.

The Red Cross organization is to devote It
self to working for public health Improvement.
This means that something definite, progressive
and effective will be done; the health center
will become countrywide Institution and will
function with proper adaptability to local needs
since the local chapters of the Red Cross Will be
the agents through which the organization will
work While the Red Gross is directing its en-
ergy to improving the medical means to better
health of the people, the physical education adj
voeates and agencies are preparing to make the
most of the aid which the state and federal gov
ernments offer to making physical education
amount to what it ought. Ex-service men can
not Justly be said to speak with cordial endorse
ment of military discipline or of certain phases
of military training But they do speak with
enthusiasm of the physical betterment derived
from training and their physical condition
speaks for them. When the draft boards went
to work this physical standard was required of
successful registrants for service: ''The regis
trant must be able to see we'll; have compare
lively good hearing; his heart must be able to
stand the test Of physical exertion; and he must
be able to transport himself by walking as the
exegencies of military life may demand" By
this standard some thirty per cent. of the draft
ees were dismissed as unfit for service Yet
how much below this standard ought our young
men to be to succeed in everyday life in peace
full and normal timesY Real physical education
combined with genuine training in teamwork
might give much Of the benefit to be had from
universal training.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Moines Capital: It may %
cruel under the circumstances to re-
joice that the date of President Will
sons departure is fixed, but it may
be that the president is among those
who are happy himself. He has held
the presidential Office for long
time. He is dreamer and when q
dreamer is president his experiments
are our experiments. He has served
long time and has refused to divide
the responsibility with anybody.
When he made up his mind we made
up our minds also. During the war
we stood for it because we must
stand by our country.

ARE YOU AN ELK?

How often have you been asked
this question, and how often have
you answered it in the Affirmative?
But again ask you the question, are
you an Elk? Let us see, let us ask
you a few questions.
Since taking your obligation. in the
Order, which you promised to UNFOLD
and assist in every way YOU could
for the betterment of the same, have
you attended, as regularly as you
could have done, the regular night
meetings Of the Lodge, and, by your
presence there, lent assistance and
encourageme to your Exalted
Ruler and to tho officers in charge
in the performance of their duties?
Have you taken your part in discus
sing the various questions that have
arisen upon the floor of. the Lodge,
for the good of the Lodge when such
questions have arisen? Have you,
when appointed on a committee by
your Exalted Ruler, done the work
assigned you, or, have you shifted
your part to some Brother who has
shown an inclination to do the work,
a part of which was intrusted to
you? Have you from time to time
honored the Club with your presence
and met and mingled with the crowd
of good fellows to be found there.
and thereby come in closer touch
with your Brother Elks?
Have you attended any of the So
cial affairs your Amusement Com
mittee has provided for the pleasure
of yourself and your wife, sister. or
sweetheart? And have yau, Brother
Elk, done your part towards keeping
the Charity and Brotherly Love
principles of our great Order up to
the high standards they have at
tanned? If you have not fulfilled
your part of these obligations, start
the new year right, begin now. The
year of 1920 has many hard prob
lens in store for us to solve and we
need good men like you to help US
carry on the work that has put. and
will keep, Augusta Lodge on the top
pinnacle of Elkdom. Do your part,
Brother Elk, during the coming year,
lend your aid whenever and wher-
ever you can, and then you can
truthfully answer Am An Elk.
