Everybody lonesome. Don't forget it, dear,
All the world is waiting for a bit of cheer.
Whatsoer your station, God has given you
Each little corner with some work to do"
"All the world is waiting for bit of cheer
How true this is. SO many of us are so wrapped
up in self and so taken up with those things
which minister solely to- our own selfish gratfi-
cation, that we seem to care but little for the
feelings or walfare of anyone else
Two of the greatest needs of humanity to-
dsy are words OF sympathy and encouragement.
Many life has been eladdtAed and refreshed
and made stronger because of them; while many
other lives have been made lonely and dreary
and desolate, for lack of them.
The opportunities for real service were
never greater than today. Somewhere in the
long years to come, we shall find that not the

When General Bogaevsky was exc
cutting the retreat of WrangePs troops
in the Taknak' region he found his
train surrounded by the rapidly ad-

window into an automobile and there
followed a flight toward the river
with the reds in pursuit.
The bridge collapsed as the gen.
erals car rolled onto it and the auto
mobile tumbled into the river. Gen
eral Bogaevsky leaped from the ma
chine as it fell and landed in a
swamp where he hid in the rank reeds
until morning. Meantime the reds
in their turn had retreated.

Two Missing Men
Are Being Sought for
Killing of Salesman

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 81
After q day of investigating add1-
tional statements made by Peter D.
Treadway and Marie Phillips, under
arrest here in connection with the
killing of Henry T. PIERCE, manu-
facturers' salesman found beaten to
death in his apartment last Mon
day, detectives working on the case
declared they had cleared up all
doubt as to the identity of the two
men alleged by prisoners to have &C
tually killed Peirce. One is referred
to by Treadway and his girl com
panion as "Alf' Smith and the other
as Jack .
The police have found that the
two men, who are missing from their
usual haunts in this city, are well
known local characters. A descrip-
ton Of them has been sent broad
cast by the police department and
tonight a report was received that
were seen in Cincinnati. The Cincin-
natl authorities have been asked to
Investigate.
Treadway and the girl were put
through further examinations. They
continue to stand by their story that
they were having party in Petrce's
apartment when the 1.-TWO men en-
tered, held up PIERCE and when he
showed resistance, hit him with q

the two men compelled them to drive

they disappeared and left the couple
almost penniless.

Recurrence of "Flu''
Epidemic This Winter
Is Not Believed Likely

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.-Indica-
tons are that recurrence of the
influenza epidemic will not come this
winter, Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon
general of the United States public
health service, said Saturday
'As result OF very careful analy-
ses Of the epidemiology of Influenza
especially as the result of intensive
studies in homes where it occurred
in 1918 and 1919, it may be stated
that an attack of influenza appears
to confer a definite immunity to SUBJ
seQuent attacks-the immunity last
ing for several years." he said. In
asmuch as the epidemic of 1918 and
1919 affected so very large proper
ton of the population there would
seem to be reasonable grounds for
believing that even should flu
become prevalent here and there, it
would not assume the epidemic pro-
portions Of the past two years, nor
would it rage in such severe form.
OF course, there is no definite way
of telling whether this winter will
bring a recurrence of the influenza
endemic"

Data Shows Women
Broke 'ESolid South

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 27.-Data
presented that tends to prove it was
the womens vote which broke the
solid south and put Tennessee in the
republican column is one of the main
topics of discussion today among
members Of the Nineteenth Century
club.
This data, compiled by Mrs. Isaac
Reese, shows that although the dem
ocrats lost Tennessee, Cox actually
polled 53,274 more votes this year
than Wilson did in 1916. Taking
these figures as a basis, suffrage
leaders today contend that the demo-
cratic party got it's normal amount
of male votes in Tennessee and that
the women turned to Harding and.
put the state republican. Thel total
vote Tennessee shows Harding 219,-
1885,; Cox 206.556, compared with
Wilson 1929; Hughes 1923 in
1916. It is estimated that 10000
women voted for President In Ten
nessee this month. Suffrage leaders
insist that of the feminine vote ST.
600 or 81 per cent went to Cox and
So, 900 or 66 per cent to Harding. .

Rural Civilization

The first important consideration
for us to get clearly itno our minds
and just as clearly into the minds
Of our statesmen and leaders from
cities and towns-is that it is really
our privilege and our duty to develop
here in America, and in every other
civilized nation, splendid rural-a
distinctively Standardization.
Too often the idea has seemed to
be that the farmer exists merely to
suppl food and raiment for an urban
civilization. The farmer has been
long enough called 1.-The backbone of
the nation" 1t is time to realize
that he is also to a great extent it's
heart and brain. The aim of society
and government must be to develop a
civilization equally rich, beautiful,
varied, and vital in both town and
country.-Clarence Poe.

Amer1canLegionNoUeSto
Consolidate Ill Bureaus
Governing En- Soldier Aid

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Repre-
sentatives of the American Legion
informed officials of the war risk in
surance bureau, the federal board for
vocational education and the United
States public health service Saturday
that the Legion proposed to urge
measures designed to cut red tape in
the bureaus and to compel the gov
eminent TO function" in it's dealings
with discharged and disabled service
men.
The Legion representatives who
met here with the heads of the three
bureaus to discuss a plan to combine
the work of the bureaus, made the
position of the Legion clear, declar-
ing that it proposed to press for leg
islation consolidating functions of
the three government agencies and
doing away with "long-winded talk
about cooperation and co-ordina-
ton" John Sherbourne, Of Boston,
a member Of the Legion's committee,
admonished the government con-
ferees that If the proposed consolida-
ton destroyed their present organi-
cations, ''it would simply have to go
ahead and Destroy"
Sherbourne Replies
DR.. C. w. Lavender, representing
the public health service, made a
plea for the continuation Of "other
work in the health service outside of
world war" saying that his bureau
had many other functions in addition
to the work with disabled veterans.
II have read every one of your
appropriation bills" Mr. Sherbourne
replied. land 1 find that the money
you have to spend for the soldiers,
sailors and marines Is much greater
Now, we don't want to be rough,
and we do not want to impair or
handicap any governmental agency
unnecessarily, but 1 will go to the
line on this: We are faced with the
problem of government agencies not
functioning and we do not propose
to permit any single agency to stand
in the way"
Legtan Plan
Robert Marx, Cincinnati member
Of the Legion's committee, declared
it appeared each of the three agen-
cies affected by the proposed changes
was seeking to retain it's separate
solely because itImeant the concen-
tration of the three bureaus under
the direction Of one responsible head.
This was declared by the bureau rep
resentatives to be an incorrect rep
resentation of their position. All de-
clared their willingness to work out
plan which would yield better re-
suits.
The consolidation plan as outlined
by the Legion representatives pro-
poses the creation of an assistant
secretary in one of the executive de-
partments, probably in the treasury
to have direct charge of the work OF
the three bureaus having to do with
ex-service men. The government
representatives r. G. Cholmeley-
Jones, director of the war risk insur-
ance bureau; Uell Lambkin, member
of the vocational education board
and DR.. Lavender. approved this fea-
ture of the plan. but doubted the
advisability of actually combining
ths three bureaus.
Several members Of the Legion
committee will remain here to com
nlete drafting of the proposed bill

days conference have assured the
committee they will aid in this work
