q YER hear tell of Paul
II Bunyan and his Big Blue
Ok? If you are the city bred
and the lines of your life have
been cast along asphalt paved
streets and elevators and the
towering brick and mortar
hives Of humanity, where
your imagination, as we'll as
your sources of information,
has been subdued to the me-
chanical elements bv which
you are surrounded, says
the Kansas City Star, the
chances are that you are not
acquainted with the lore of
Paul Bunyan. But if you
have ever been in the great
lumber forests from the rock
ribbed coasts of Maine along
the Red River country, out
to where the Oregon rolls,
and especially if you have
foregathered with the lumber
jacks around the campfire
when the flapjacks and the
Mulligan and the prunes had
been slowed away and the
evening pipes lighted, you
have probably heard of Paul
Bunyan and his exploits to
your hearts content. For
Paul Bunyan is the hero Of lumber
camp whoppers that have been hand
ed down for generations. He is the
Gargantua, the Brobdingnag, the
Munchausen. all rolled into One of
the world of the tall timbers. Stor-
les about Paul and his OK and his
family and his rctinue of helpers
and his gigantic operations have been
told in the haunts of the lumber
jacks 50 long that their origin has
been lost in the mist lands Of folk
lore. although they are now claiming
the interests of all learned educators
and literary authorities, who de-
clare that Paul Bunyan is the only
genuine American myth.
Up to recent years there vas no
literature about Paul Bunyan. He was
a hero of tradition and folk lore, whose
EXHIBITS were never told in serious mar
rative form. IF you happened TO be a
tenderfoot in the lumber camp, Paul
would be sprung IN you in the most
casual and offhand way. Some lumber
Jack, with a CLEAN in his eye, and be
tween puffs of his pipe, would sud
denly remember that the boss ought
TO send for Paul Bunyan on this job
he's the man to tackle it, and then
he would go on, with great circumstan-
tiality, to relate one of Paul's exploits
in the logging line when the relator
was working with him up on the Big
Onion the winter of the blue snow" or
"at Shot Gunderson's camp on the
Tadpole the year of the sourdough
In recent years, however. Paul
Bunyan has achieved a measure % lit
myth hunters have been on his trail.
Prof. r. X. Fenska of the school of
engineering, Syracuse university.
New York, says He is not only an
all American myth. but as far as can
be determined the only myth or legend
in this country indigenous to the soil"
Another learned Investigator says 1T
is a pity that this great American
myth should ever have been in danger
of being forgotten. Where the tradi-

of this kind that he nee pulled Il chain
of 3-inch links out into a straight bar.
Paul's Own Cow
Paul Bunyan always adapted his
methods to conditions, and NJ two of
his big jobs were ever pulled off alike.
For instance, on that famous drive on
the Big Onion. he began the system of
hauling a section of land at a time to
the landings, with just the Big Blue Ok
for his helper. while the winter that
he logged off North Dakota he first put
on his Seven Axemen. On that job he
had to have 300 cooks making pancakes
for the Seven 'Axemen-they had pro-
digious appetites. That's the reason
he had to add Lucy, the camp COW, to
Babes family. No reliable data can
be found as tc. the pedigree of this re
markable dairy animal. Paul always

EPISCOPAL BAN
FOR DIVORCES
House Of Deputies Approve Meas
ure Passed by Bishops; Infi-
deity Sole Exception.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 23.-Com-
municants of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in the United States
are forbidden to marry divorced
persons, except in cases where di-
vorce has been granted on the
ground Of infidelity. This is the
result of the action taken here last
night by the house of deputies of
the general triennial convention,
confirming a measure passed pre-
viously by the house of bishops.
The former law of the church
merely forbade clergymen to per-
form a marriage ceremony where
either party to it had been divorced
for d cause other than infidelity.
The new canon does not provide
punishment for members of the
church disobeying it, but there was
pending before the convention to-
day a resolution by Bishop Cam
eron Mann, of the diocese of South
Florida providing for the excom-
munication of persons remarrying
contrary to the divorce canon.

Score Confederate Vets for
Passage Of Resolutions.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 23.-(By
The Associated Press. )-Resolu-
tons condemning the action taken
by the Confederate Veterans in
their National gathering 1T Rich
mond, Va, last June, will be Of
fered at the G. A. R, encampment
which will begin tomorrow. The
Southern Veterans adopted Q reso-
luton which asserted that Abra-
ham Lincoln personally conceived
and impelled the War of the Re
bellion.
Gaylord Davidson, Of Charleston,
w. Va, Confederate veteran, has
attempted to secure q hearing be-
fore the business sessions of the
Fffty-sixth G. A. r. encampment to
repudiate, at least in part, the Of
fetal action of the Confederate SOL
diers. He explains that the reso-
luton referring to Lincoln was
adopted when the convention hall
was practically deserted and that II
does not represent the views of the
majority Of the Confederate veter-
ans.
Mr.. Davidson has asked to be
given an opportunity to address the
encampment to ward of any retail
iatory resolutions that may be
adopted.

CITY ELECTION
next NOVEMBER
Especial Moline Service,


All of the early fall campaigning
for the spring election will be
wasted is the proposed new consist
tuition is ratified In December. Pro-
vision is made in the new constitn-
tion for one election a year, in No
vember, for the selection Of all city,
county and state candidates. The
exact date is to be designated by the
Legislature.
This will mean that members OF
the present administration in all
cities will bold over until Novem-
Der. The change is proposed for
the sake Of economy, 1t is said. Po-
liticA activities in Moline are not
likely to be affected by the change
lii it takes place, as city election
campaigning does not normally be-
gin until February.
Mayor Skinner heartily endorses
one election day, which he says,
will mean a saving for the city.
Last spring, he says, the city cleo
ton cost approximately $500, and
approximately 1900 votes were
cast. Three dollars a vote election
expense, the mayor believes, is toe
much.
