WHO ARE THE GREATEST?

Everybody has the right to select his own
greatest men and women" Probably no two
would agree on the dozen greatest" For
greatest" doesn't mean the same to each.
There are some who would never include the
first Napoleon; and there are others who could
make up no list without him.
But there are many who will agree that a
greatest" as mortal ever came. The class at
school was asked to write down the names Of
the dozen greatest men and women.
This little fellow was the first to hand In his
paper. 1t read:
Mother, father, Uncle Henry, Grand
ma. Aunt Blanche. Iris Speaker,
George Washington, President Wilson,
Pershing, Fatty Arbuckle, and Miss
Geddes."
1t may be explained. to the unknowing. that
the Miss Geddes referred to. Is the little fellows
school teacher. Mr.. Speaker is a we'll known
baseball player, his team won a world cham
pionship: Mr.. Arbuckle occupies a large portion
Of the movie screen almost every night.
There may be some difference Of opinion as
to a few of these greatest men and women.
There are those who would place Babe" Ruth
ahead Of Mr.. Speaker, and others who would
include Mary Pickford and exclude Mr.. Ar
buckle.
But who is there to say that mother and
father are not the rightful leaders in any small
boys list Of "greatest?"

That was a fine compliment the chief OF staff
Of the Swiss army paid the American army on
the Rhine. After a visit to the occupied zone.
in which he made a thorough inspection OF all
the armies-British, French. Belgian and
American-he reported to his government that
the Americans were the most up-to-date, the
best equipped and the best looking military
outfit of all the armies of the world"
That Is high praise, considering the expert

not In any sense of the word a military nation,
their citizen army. always ready to defend the
nations neutrality, has for years challenged
the worlds admiration.
What the Swiss chief Of staff says about the
American army on the Rhine lie borne out by

observers.
A commission from Holland expressed a sim
liar view and other nations have asked permits

Charley Anterior claims that the oldest joke
is the one about the teacher who was reading
items from a newspaper to the class and ex-

about a woman committing suicide by running
to "a river near her home and drowning herself
before her husband could prevent her.
LAS she threw herself into the river" read
the Teacher, her husband, terror-stricken,
rushed to the bank"
Now" said the Teacher. why did the hus-
band rush to the bank?"

Luke McIuke Says
The man who tries to be friendly is a better
fellow than the crouch, even If the friendly
bird does start talking about the weather just
to be saying something.
Now we hear that the skirts are to be longer
this summer. Just like a woman. She'll wear
her knees bare In cold weather and wear 'em
covered in hot weather.
II men were not such liars and did not iatter
women the way they do, women would not be
as vain as they are.
A lot of men are like rabbit dogs. They are
very clever at something that doesn't pay.
II YOU will leave It to a schoolboy, a Horri-
BILE Example is any problem in Mathematics.
If you haven't anything else to bother you
right now, you might sit down and worry over
why a drug store is always located on a corner.
The fact that a woman can speak but one
language doesn't keep her from talking enough
for two.

memorandum. the sixth and seventh
verses OF the thirty-nrst chapter of
Proverbs" Never suspecting that his
vivacious son and heir had found the
memorandum in his study on the pre-

papa had composed a sermon cele-
1rating the Increased severity OF dry

changed the chapter and verse num-
erals to indicate a very different text.
