DON'T Re A SLACK Err,

Though the September Primary
election is drawing nearer, there is
a CONSPICUOUS absence of life in both
major political parties. They met
held their caucuses and named their
tickets-all as matter of routine
for that had to be done, and in a
great many cases the office sought
the man rather than vice versa.
If "barometric" readings can be
taken from this, then it looks as
though general apathy will again
be in evidence at the Primaries
and perhaps at the general cleo
ton.
Why is it that citizens neglect
this so important a duty? The right
of franchise has been handed down
to us from our fore-fathers who
paid for it with price. And yet we
grow lax and fail to appreciate the
privilege. "They say" "you never
miss the water till the we'll runs
dry" Wouldn't there be weeping
and gnashing Of teeth" if the ballot
would be taken from us? Let's moi
be slackers!

CROSSES AND SHAFTS

Norfolk, Va.,-For six years four
simple crosses marked four graves
in st. Mary's cemetery here
Beneath them four humble sailors
slept their last sleep four thousand
miles from home in an alien land.
Today a white marble shaft tow
ers above their resting place, a
shaft erected by the local Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary unit as a
tribute to the dead and as a
monument to the amity of $50 years
between the French and American
nations.
Francois Morrenelec, Jean Bap-
tiste LIE Forester, Auguste Besnier
and Yves Pezzenec, were put ashore
i'll with influenza, from the French
cruiser Helene more than a month
after the Armistice. For few days
they fingered in the hospital. Then
within single week all died, the
last a day or two before Christmas.
The Helene sailed away, leaving
her dead behind in graves marked
only by the wooden crosses until the
women of the Legion built them a
marble monument.

WHOLESOME SPORT FOR
DELAWARE RIVER TOWNS

On Labor Day l accompanied
friends in attendance at the water
sports on Somerset Lake There was
nothing sensational about it; there
were no records broken in swimming
and diving; but the keen enjoyment
it provided for the participants and
spectators was inspiring.
Water sports are the most whole
some in the long list of outdoor
sports. Delaware River communities
are blessed with the conveniences
for such sports, but unfortunately
they do not take advantage of them.
Somerset Lake vies in beauty with
the land-locked waters of Switzer-
land-judging by the pictures I've
seen. The closely wooded hills that
hug its shores give it touch sub
lime.
But, (pardon meD, the Delaware
provides spots just as beautiful. 1t
is pity that its residents do not
avail themselves of the wholesome
sport it stands ready to provide in
water carnivals and swimming
meets.

A SIMPLIFIED COURSE

A dispatch from San Francisco
has it that the pupils of the public
schools of that city-also Of Califor-
nia-are now at their tasks under
a recently enacted elementary educa-
tion law, which provides for a
simpliied course-the three RS"
and few other well established
studies, without the furbeows and
fads, which continue to prove prac-
tically wasteful of time in many
public schools throughout the coun-
try. California has reacted against
worse than superiluous public school
work. The course of study in that
state is reduced from twenty seven
to twelve subjects, with maximum
of three others to be added by any
city or county. Here is an example
for other states to follow with en-
during advantage to the boys and
girls of the country's public schools.

AND THE DOGS GREETED THEM

Sunday at noon | visited the
Bonnie Brae Farm near Bernards-
vile where orphaned boys are being
given start in life in wholesome
surroundings and practical training.
The farm is supported by contrbu-
tions from the public and by the
Episcopal Church. There are some
200 acres in the farm and it is
worked by the boys under the di-
rection of skilled managers. Last
year they raised enough foodstutfs
to supply the farm and sold over
$500 worth of the surplus.
But the most vivid impression
had of this place was a human
interest touch when the boys re-
turned from church. There arc 3G
of them, and when they came piling
out the bus there was an outbreak
of greetings and the yelping of
dogs that drew me to the entrance
to see what all the shooting was
about,
Two dogs belonging to the farm
vociferously greeting the boys with
yelps of delight. In turn, the boys
were petting and hugging the dogs
in a way that would have melted n
heart of ice. 1t was sight for
sore eyes.
Some man, wiser than l, has well
said that no boy should be reared
without the companionship Of a
dog. And that is true. There is n
softening influence in the fellowship
of faithful dog. 1t is good for
the immortal soul.
If for no other reason, | would
endorse the Bonnie Brae Farm for
this human-interest touch, which to
my mind iusures wholesomeness in
mind and soul, whether it We're a
financial success or not,

With All Good Wishes

The colonel of one of our negro
regiments serving in France during
the World war impressed 1t upon the
rank and file of his command that in
the field a soldier addressing his su-
perior officer invariably should have
regard for correct military procedure
and, as nearly as might be, for correct
military language The lesson must
have gone home, because now among
the treasured possessions of that
colonel is a certain document sent by
runner from forward trench to com
pany headquarters back of the sec
ond line of defense.
On scrap of paper, with stub of
pencil, the author of the communica-
tion, much-harrled black corporal
then undergoing his baptism of she'll
ing. wrote as follows:
ITO Lieutenant Seth B. McCllntock.

Few newspaper readers realize the

Perhaps if they did they would ap-
preciate them more. But newspaper
men, realizing the value Of good

Last weeks issue of the Quaker
town, Pa. Free Press, is something
the editor, Charles M Meredith, can
feel proud of. 1t was in four sec
tions, repIete with meaty news and
attractive advertising, and its
"dress" was all that could be desired.
One full page was devoted to a
statement showing how the Free
Press is striving to give it's readers
the best in the profession. There
were pictures of the attractive home
of the paper, the new Duplex Press
recently installed and two silver
loving cups which were awarded tc

made a splendid appeal.
But "Charlie" didn't say anything
about his personal accomplishments
he didn't tell that last year he en-
listed more editors in the n +. A
than any other officer of the organ
ization; he didn't tell about the
handsome and valuable gold watch
presented to him at the convention
for his labors.

OPEN FOR VETERANS
Vernal, Utah, Father Paul Rem

American Legionnaires made good

ment urging American Legionnaires
of the country who feel crowded in
their present abode to come out to

The Uintah basin in Uintah and
Duchesne counties comprises 100000
acres of grazing and agricultural
lands. Any former soldier has the
preference right on the land.
Father Renfels' interest in the
movement is purely altruistic. He
represents no land company nor
any special group; he has seen an
opportunity to acquaint veterans
with the way to "the great open
spaces" He will answer all letters
He declared recently: "There are

NO VISITING AT
JAIL FOR SOME
TIME IS EDICT'

Jail is usually u good place to
keep away from, but it is doubly so
at, the present time, two cases of
measles having been discovered yes
terday afternoon in the south tank,
where some 20 odd prisoners are
confined.
Because of the presence of the
contagious disease, visiting at the
Jail has been discontinued and will
not be resumed until the malady
has disappeared. The men not af-
fcctcd by the disease have been
fumigatcd, and it was stated at the
Jail this morning that the situation
is not serious, even the two men
who have the measles, taking their
prcdicament with sense of humor.
To the officials, the present quar-
antinc against visitors comes as q
welcome relief, for with the capa-
city of the Jail taxed, the number
of visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays
has increased so much as to interfere
seriously with the conduct of bust
ness.
