CHAPTER III
Riding Two Mules

THE circus fat lady, mounted on thc
hock Of Wooden Elephant. was ready
- stort on her getting thin ride. 1t
s.d been hot work hosting her upon
.to o,enbonts back, and she looked
.n' 90 che we're melting. The perspira-
aIon rolled off her in streams. .,
''O Ionet and Jack thought that n good
.,sn II her fat was melting that
'nsant that she was losing already. =,
The handsome young giant looked
vistfully as Wooden Elephant set on
with the fat lady on his back
"I'd like to go riding, too, said the
dant. "I'm 80 tall l never nave haa

lack and Janet looked at him with
roon sympathy. He really was very,
rsrr tnll-so tall that he couldn't pos

aazed Mt the giant. he remembered
Soying seen wOrkmen hauling tele-
nbone poles the day before. The poles
Ind been SO long they wouldn t lit on
ono truck, so that wOrkmen had used
a truck and trn niler.
"If n giant had one horse to carry
him and another horse to carry his
Ieas he could go riding said Jack.
,Ianet's eyes glo~ed.
"Why, Balky Sam can ride the
yiant and Jointed Mule can ride his
legs" cried Janet :, ,,
f'Icc -haw. To be sure, brayed
Bnlky Sam. who wanted to snow that
he was a strong mule even II ne
couldn't carry the weight OF the rat
lady. ,,
hack He was so tall his feet still
rrstcd on the ground. The giant, how.
over. stretched out his long legs and
n,t his feet on Jointed Mule. Then he
IsaR ready for ride, thanks to Jacks
5Uce .haw. There is still room
left on my back" brayed Jointed Mule
to lack and Janet. Wouldn't you,
too. like n ride?'
To be sure Jack and Janet would
like to ride. They climbed on Jointcd
Mule in front Of the giants feet and
were very comfortable.
"Hee haw Away we go" brayed
Balky SAM, and the two mules set of
after Wooden Elephant. who was al;
ready outside the circus grounds and
heading for the high hill.
"lIee -haw! We will catch you "
brayed Jointed Mule after Wooden
Elephant. At that Jointcd Mule jump
ed forward and began to gallop.
Now when Jointed Mule jumped, he
forgot to tell Balky Sam to jump with
him. The result was that he, jumped
out from under the giants feet,
and down came the feet on the ground,
ker- slam When the giants feet hit
the ground they acted as brakes and
stopped him short. Balky Sam still
went forward so the giant slid off his
back. and sat down on the ground,
ker thump.
"Oof," grunted the giant. II don't
ike this kind of riding. 1t is too
bumpy.'
Baiky Sam was much vcxed with
Jointed Mule for jumping ahead that
way. "You ought to be ashamed of
yourself brayed Balky Sam. Jointed
Mule was ashamed of himself and
promised that when he started to run
again. he would first give n warning
"hce -haw.'
The two mules lined up once more.
The giant sat on Balkv Sam and put
his feet on Jointed Mule, and they
hurried after Wooden Elephant and
the fat lady, who were now climbing
the hills.
GIow the fat lady melts will be
told tomorrow

The woman who just flies Mt her work

Visitors just naturally make the

Her recipes are eagerly sought for
for miles around. Aunt Sophie is n

for actual working proportions that
would be suitable for this corner. one
must be on the alert to measure what

WILSON'S FIRST TERM

@as1s-oee. 10, the president
married Mrs. Edith Boil
ling Gait.
1e16-Re-elec
tcopyrisht. 1890. BY James Morr.n.)

A FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
1 = teaching in the classroom for a
quarter Of century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island of author
lty," the opportunity came to him to
put his theory in practice. When con-
gress met in extra session a month
after his Inauguration he walked in
and delivered his message in person.
reviving custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have poor voice and was an awk-
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude Of sort Of member at large Of
both houses. sauntering unheralded
into the seldom-used presidents room,
which adjoins the senate chamber,
whenever he had any special business,
and talking things over in the open.
The president succeeded not by
arousing personal loyalty to himself
but by the force Of his ideas. II have
had majority on the floor, but" he
admitted, never majority in the
cloakroom."
Here are the outstanding items in
the peace record of the Wilson adj
ministration: Tariff revision, the first
income tax. the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Olavt0n trust law. 70 arbitration trea.
ties, the seaman's act, the farm loan,
The Glenwood post., 1921-01-15

the repeal of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act, the child labor law, the pur-
. chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law ia poten-
tally as great a piece of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-.
acted In this country. We were abso-
lutely without financial system, and
the money Of the nation was in the
irresponsible control Of few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa.
ton had failed because private finan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction Of law
to this private domination, but con.
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation. through the government, the
control Of its own money.
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson's composition, and
this omission denied him flowing
communication with his fellows, a nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurry burly
of politics.
President Wilson has been a lonely
figure In the White House. He came
to the presidency stranger to public
men, and no president can make new
friends-real friends.
His reelection was one Of the big
surprises Of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes went to bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect.
After all the great Industrial states
which had decided the elections in the
past, except Ohio. had sent in reports
Of Republican victories, the tide was
turned by the far West, which had
been almost forgotten in the reckon
Ing, but where the conservative inter-
ests had less influence. At last the
returns from remote hamlets in the
Slerras gave California to the presi-
dent BY less than 1000 plurality. He
had lost all but two Of the northern
states east Of the Missouri. and yet
won By carrying all but two Of the
states west Of that river. where the
women voters are supposed to have
rallied to him because ''hs kept us out
e the war"

rooters, these games were won. We
admire the school spirit of the Aspen
people, and we want a hundred and
sixty dollar house or more of patriotic
rooters to inspire us on to victory in
the return game with Aspen. Will you
be there, Glenwood?
When the whistle blew it brought
every girl to her post. 1t is an excit-
ing moment, in which the player gives
his opponent the once over, and stocks
up his determination and courage, and
takes deep breath. It is very nerv-
Gus moment, by the way. And then
the whistle blows again, the ball goes
up, and each player, with grim, deter
mination, starts to play for the end.
Aura Mae Oldenburg played at her
hest with her speed and quickness she
played a big part in our victory.
Very little more can be added to
Opal Richardson IS basketball fame. By
our victory you can also judge her
playing.
Gertrude Schiller just couldn't keep
her hands off the hall, and couldn t
stand to see Aspen have it. SO conse-
quently Aspen did not have the ball
much in the vicinity where Gertrude
was playing.
There is never any doubt about Sill
via MADDEN. When we thought victory
we thought that of her, and we thought
right

made herself conspicuous by her quick
playing, and for being on the spot when
