WHY-
Loyalty Is One of the Greatest
Human Attributes.

When a man is loyal he has found
the summum bonum of life. writes
Nathan Howard Gist in PENNSYLVANIA
Grit More than good, he is good for
something. His loyalty warns his heart.
1t wins the confidence of others to-
ward him, whether they love or hate
him. His loyalty shines out as the
finest of qualities. When man is
loyal, there is no domestic strife so
far as he is concerned. When a wom-
an is loyal, her husband trusts her
everywhere, and justly so. Loyalty
is the antidote for divorces.
When man is loyal. he has no trou-
Bile to speak of In his industrial plant.
His employees love him, and every
man in his employ would cut off his
right arm for him.
When man is loyal. he gives his
employer the best he has. He may
find his work distasteful. His hours
may be long and badly arranged for
him. His general surroundings may
be anything but pleasant. But while
he is in the employment of that man,
he has sense enough not to condemn
his employer. His loyalty puts a pad
lock on his lips, and he frowns on any
sugges ion at insurgency.
When a man is loyal, he despises
the finger of scorn. He places damp
er on the devillsh gossip that poisons
the whole community. He plucks ev-
cry thistle he sees, and plants rose
in its place.
When a man is loyal, he is the in
veterate foe of malice, or friction, of
the divisions Of opinion that separate
men.
When man is loyal, he is true to
his country-in time of war, which Is
occasional, in times of peace, which
is nearly all of the time. His best
patriotism is the patriotism of peace.

Why Mountains Are Loved.

All the world loves the mountains
loves them as color patterns on the
blue, as marvels of light and shade, as
symbols of peace and purity-loves
them, In other words, as one might
picture. That there is a supreme
grandeur about the peaks and great
beauty in the lesser hills every one
will acknowledge. But the grandeur
of the peaks is as hard to capture with
the brush as the beauty of the hills
with the pen. The landscape painter
and the writer have had very moder-
ate success in portraying them. The
great features of nature seem defiant
of representation.-Joh G. Van Dyke

Why Thermometers Vary.

thermometers vary in their indica-
tions mainly on account of exposure,
assuming that the instruments them
selves register similarly under like
conditions. The height above ground
is an important factor, particularly
on still nights, when radiation is quite
active near the earths surface, at
which time important differences be-
tween thermometers located only short
distances apart are recorded. When
there is considerable air movement
these differences disappear to great
extent.

Guy U. Hardy Makes a
Hit With Postal Clerks

The following article pertaining
to Hon. Guy q. Harding, member
of congress from the Fourth Colo
RADIO district, publisher of the daily
and weekly Record at Canon City,
Colorado, as we'll as of the Colo
RADIO Press, a quarterly publication
for newspa per men, and past pres
ident of the National Editorial as
sociation, is taken from the August
number of the Post Office Clerk
the pu blication of the United Ma
tional Association of Post Office
Clerks:
1t can be truly said of Congressman
Hardy that the Office of congressman
sought the man and not the man the
office. In July, 1918, when the Repub-
hcan congressional committee at Pu-
eblo, Colorado, was in session for the
purpose of naming man to represent
that district in the house of representa-
tives at Washington, Mr.. Hardy was in
Chicago comforting with committee of
national scope which had been appointed
to adopt measures for the conservation
Of print paper in the interest of the
smaller publications of the country.
However, the convention felt that
Mr.. Hardy was the proper person to
represent that district and they drafted
him, as it were, and presented to him
the nominal on for congress, OF course,
being called upon to perform a public
duty, he consented to accept, and to say
that he has fulfilled the obligations
placed upon him with credit both to
himself and his people is not half suffi-
sient. He has never missed session
Of congress since taking his seat. He
has always been found on his toes when
matters affecting the people were under
consideration and was always to be
found fighting hard for them.
1t was lucky day for post office
clerks that Mr.. Hardy consented to ac-
cept his present Office. During his time
as member of the house post office COM
nittee he was always to be found fight
ing for the welfare of the clerks and
sxerted every possible effort to see that
justice was done them.
A recent visit to the office Of Con-
gresham Hardy by the writer, in COM
pany with National President Francis
sus, convinced me more than anything
else of the fine character of the man.
The occasion was to thank the congress
man on bshalf Of all post office clerks
fer his efforts in our behalf and to es.
Decially thank him for the most lmpor
tant part played by him on behalf Of
the special clerks during session of ths
post office committee on that all-impor
tant matter.
He told me on that visit that the pos
sffice clerk could always depend upor
him for his support when in his opinion
eur cause was just. What more ceult
be asked of any man?
1t is the earnest wish of post offic,
clerks that Congressman Hardy con
tinue the fruits of his labor and goo,

HE HAD LEARNED SOMETHING
Way of Modern Maid With
Her Victim.

He was very nervous young man,
but he was rather" nice, and Elsie
thought he was worth encouraging.
She allowed him to take her to tea,
she deliberately chucked the slipper
in his eye at Hunt the Slipper" and
she gave him a dance or two. Once
or twice she sat down under the mis-
tletoe, but he didn't seem to notice
that.
At last when they were alone in
a corner of room, she stood long
and insistently under the mistletOe
hanging from u curtain pole of the
bay window.
Then, very nervously, he pecked her
face. She, Of course, protested mild
ly; but as they seated themselves once
more, most respectfully on a couple of
chairs, she kept the conversation on
mistletoe.
At length he ventured: at is-er-
a nice Christmas custom, hanging up
mistIetoe, but l wonder why they al
ways hang it over doors, windows or
chandeliers"
Because it's not necessary to have
any out on the stairs or in any other
dark places" she murmured softly.

CRESCENT CITY NEWS.


The News takes pleasure in pub
fishing herewith a communication
from Hon. B. F. Tillinghast, chair
man of the Crescent City branch of
the American Red Cross. In self
justification we wish to say that the
figures on the amount of relief mon
ey: contributed in this county were
taken from figures published by State
Chairman Harkesheimer, of Jack
sonville. Mr.. Tillinghast says that
the Crescent City contributions were
sent direct to New York, which may
explain why the county did not re
ceNe credit for them. Following is
MI. Tillinghast's communication:
Editor Palatka News: Under the
very true heading, "a Duty to Civil
ization," the leading editorial appear
inc in your issue of the goth inst.
contained some misstatements which
| know you would not be willing to
have go uncorrected You say:
~ So far as the News has been
able to ascertain no one has been APP
pointed to represent the European
Relief Council in Putnam county for
the collection of funds for the sut-
fefing millions in Europe. (2) a re-
pdt from state headquarters shows
that the county has contributed about
$50 to the fund, most Of this, if not
all, going from Crescent City. C9)
We believe that the apparent apathy
here is due to the fact that no direct
appeal has been made, most of us
waiting until our obligation was
brought home to US in some definite
form.
u. Any one so disposed may act
for Putnam county in this emergency
cause, and it is reflection on the
good name of the county that has
made SO many patriotic responses
that some one in or out of authority
has not done so.
90. | am not informed and there
fore cannot say whether Putnam as
a county has contributed $4,000, more
or less, to the child-saving fund; but
Crescent City has forwarded to Hon
Franklin X. Lane, AZ Broadway, New
York, the treasurer of the European
Relief Council, the sum of $653.48
Of this total $17.95 was contributed
at the Christmas Sunday service of
the Episcopal church. The Cres-
cent City branch of the American
Red Cross took from its treasury
$4,000. The rest of the $653.4S
came in from subscriptions at mass
meeting of the churches and citizens
held Sunday evening, Jan. 2, under
the auspices of the Red Cross.

a large one, was in answer to an ap-
peal from the President of the United
