The Value of
An Examine.

Many years ago Dennis McHugh
was head of the schools in little
western town. That he has forged
ahead and now holds high position
in Canadian school work has nothing
to do with this story except as it
proves Dennis's manliness and merit.
The boys who attended Dennis Nc
Hughs high school have forgotten all
about the Algebraic equations, the
Geometric theorems and the theses in
English he taught or had taught to
them But they will never forget the
manliness of the man.
Dennis wasn't q mealy-mouthed
prig or saint. suspect he could
swear if he had to. Sometimes he
smoked. Occasionally he may have
taken little drink. But he was a
Man.
The boys will always remember the
sympathy and interest with which he
listened to them and their problems.
The kindness and squareness he used
toward them when they had violated a
school rule of some kind and were in
trouble. Where a harsher man would
have stiffened the culprit into defiance
Dennis softened him and then led him.
InOSe problems seem petty INV
They seemed big then. Big as the
world. And Dennis, the Man, was
there to help meet them.
So boys who went to Dennis's school
go along through the world fighting
our battles and meeting our problems.
And the example and friendship of
worthwhile Man fingers pleasantly in
the mind, a challenge always to be
straight, courageous and fair. The
things he taught us from books are
forgotten in the whirl of things. But
the bright example remains.

ISSUE WILSON STAMPS SOON

A Woodrow Wilson stamp, bearing
the likeness of the late war President,
will soon be put into general circula-
ton by order of President Coolidge.
The delay" in thus honoring the
late President has been no delay at
all, nor could it have been attributed
to the fact that Mr.. Wilson was a
Democrat, President Coolidge told
White House callers.
The ex-President stamps come along
in their regular routine, the Presi-
dent said, the notable exception being
the Harding stamp, which was adj
vanced because Mr.. Harding died
while in office.

TO EGYPT, INDIA
HELD FEASIBLE

LONDON-Air Vice Marshal Seton
Brancker, chief of civil aviation, ar
rived in London recently from the in

where he had gone after a 1000 mile
night to investigate the possibilities of
an air service from Great Britain to

Everything has now been arranged
and it is only question of finance, -
Sir Seton said.

been given contracts in connection
with a scheme to erect the worlds

extend National Prohibition to Tea.
Coffee. Tobacco, Chewing Gum, Etc.

Now that national prohlbltlon
against the use of liquor has worked
out so nicely the writer for one favors
a war on tobacco. Not being chewer
we particularly favor a ban on the
cud. AS we smoke we would ask a
little lee-way on that.
Some favor prohibition against tea
and coffee. We do not. We admit
these habits are a curse, ruin many
homes and cause untold misery and
hardship. 1t is a sad sight indeed to
see some depraved wife staggering
home from an afternoon tea party
under the influence of the damnable
drug while her poor meek husband
sits indoors, wiping the tears from
his eyes over the sewing, and trying
to make a living for himself and the
little ones. And no doubt when the
old Amazon gets behind closed doors
she beats her wretched helpmeet up.
So cruel has the stronger sex become.
But let us ponder no more on this
heart rending if true picture.
We would go little slow on tea
and coffee. After a while we can
polish off these tea and coffee addicts,
especially the women. Then we will
go after the gum chewers. A terrible,
SOLDERING habit, that. 1t is also the
cause of much depravity and waste.
Think of the nickels that go for chew
ing gum which might just as we'll go
into the pockets of us fellers who can
organize an anti-gum-chewing league?
1t is a waste indeed!
Anyone who can see how we'll liquor
prohibition has worked out should be
for the new ideas propounded in the
foregoing. There are only million
or so reform societies in this country
and few more won't hurt much.
The people will stand for anything,
anyhow.
Some feebly say this country is get
ting just like RuSsia-all run from one
central point and with lot of spies
to pry around and get evidence on the
citizens who break the sumptuary
laws. Well, you big boobs, that is just
what we want. The only way we can
make these reforms work is to get the
people into such a cowed condition
that they won't fight back
We are not going after those
wretches who make wine and home
brew but just wait until we get some
more jails. We will sure lock them up
then-and hire the other half of the
people to sit outside and watch them.
This is no laughing matter and any
one who laughs at this is going to be
reported to the society. Wait and see.

Who Won the War?

" no won the war!
This question properly belongs to
the ''old stuff" department. Both
Americans and Europeans are sick of
hearing of the war and refuse to talk
about it. From our own standpoint
we have been willing heretofore to
let England and France set the value
on our services and our contributions
in the conflict. Yet it seems, in dis
cussing war debts and payments both
England and France aver that Amer
ica's entry did not win the war Ger
many, on the other hand, says if we
hadn't come in she would have licked
England and France proper. And
most Americans take the German view.
And barking back we get an opin-
ion from one now in the grave. In
speaking of what actually occurred at
the time when things were at white
heat Woodrow Wilson told the truth

 So it was that Paddy the Beaver, Mrs. Paddy and the two nearly grown children were hunted no more, Oid Man Coyote having long since decided that it was waste of time to go way over there with the chances all against him.
