'Happy New Year." said Al Stuart,
looking up from his drawing board, T.

his ear with right-triangle.
Hubert favored him with a glare,
rose to his feet and administered two
kicks, one Of which closed the desk

when there is a sorrow connected with
the secret and the troubled one feels

two months spent in each others So

between these two men that was firm,
and already they had exchanged some
condolences.

bad blunder, but my forgetfulness

been a scream if the editor of Forest

He walked back toward the shack.
"I'll give it to Hub in the morning"
he thought, but after he had gone to
bed he got to turning it over in his
mind, with the result that early the
next day he liked to Sheffield. Enter
ing the railroad station, which also
served as a telegraph Office, he busted
himself with a yellow blank. After
spelling two blanks, he handed one to
the operator.
The message he had written was adj
dressed to Jean Pembroke, at certain

Not a word was said about the tele-
gram during the entire evening. Both
men busted themselves with their
drafting for an hour or two, then got
out books and read, waiting for the
new year to dawn.
The only timepiece in the shack was
an alarm clock, and this had been set
to ring out the old year.

AL laughed aloud. -

Californians.

Los Angeles, Sept. 25.-Appeals for
support for the Republican party were
made from the same platform here Sat

lican nominee for United States senator
from this state.
THE American people are convinced
of the absolute necessity for change IN
their government" declared Senator
Johnson. Both of the candidates agree
that there is one dominant oyershadow
ing issue.
I'VE always have with us well-mean-
ing timid people who would rather avoid
an issue than meet it. But despite
these. or the eyasiye. or cowardly or
the men who know politics only as a
means for cunning and duplicity. or the

paign of 1920 presents the burning ques-
tion of the League of Nations Upon
this hinges the determination of the peo
pie. If Cox is successful the League of
Nations wins and we go into it. II
Harding is elected the league is dead
and we remain the sovereign republic
we have ever been.
Il make very plain to you the attitude
of the Republican party and the Repub
hcan candidate upon this question. I do
this from the public records. although
the demonstration might be otherwise
made. ] would not be here tonight if
were not clear as to the situation pre-
sented in this campaign.
There has been no halting. no half
way position on Mr.. Harding's part"
declared Senator Johnson. He is
against the league and because of it
Americans are for him.
No friend of his, no partisan of Re-
puhlcanism, no patriotic American will
distort his words or misrepresent his
position. He stands four square for
Americanism.
