COCKTAILS PASSES ON


General Goethals, called to his reward after
lifetime of service to his country leaves behind him
lasting monument Of achievement-the Panama
canal
His victory the many obstacles that confront
ed this gigantic engineering feat ranks him of
the greatest of the nations heroes for he batted
courageously and untiringy in the field of engi-
neering, as did Pershing, Grant Sherman, the
battlefield.
Called to take charge of the Panama operations
after civilian engineers had made little if any prog
ress, he went at the job in the true army fashion
sticking to it until the job was done.
Goethals called driver but he drove himself
as hard as he drove the under him. He was impa-
1ient with mistakes and stupidity but was not slow
to recognize ability when it was shown among his sub
ordinates.
In the short space of seven years he succeeded in
accomplishing what the best engineers in the world
had failed to do severing the North and South Amer-
continents
Coincident with his arrival in Panama was his be-
lief that others had failed because the country was
not fit for the white He knew that the successful
completion of the canal depended upon the white man
to supervise the work of other who must do the
manual labor. With the late General Gorgas he set
about riddng the tropical Panama country of the
quito, which was known to carry the fever germ and
the two planned and carried out the work of sanitation
so we'll that today Panama is as habitable for the
whites any of our cities.
Ordered to construct the canal on the lock princi-
pie, he solved the problems which had baffled even
the great de Lesseps builder of the Suez canal and
caused him to abandon his project of sea-leve canal
1T Panama.
undid much of the work already accomplished, Goeth-
ais plodded on and finally finished his job.
Retiring with the thanks of congress, he again
turned to active duty when his ability organizer
was badly needed during the World War He reorgan-
jzed and systematzed the quartermasers department
of the army and again showed himself to be real
executive
A resume of his career shows that he was born
leader in his particular field but his name will go
down in history synonymous with his greatest achieve
n!ent, and who could ask more fitting monument for

Money and Senses

George Lawrence, who arrived
here recently from New York state,
was reported left in a dazed condi-

his automobile, money and watch
being taken by three youngsters
whom he had picked up on the road.
The car was new Stutz and he
reported that he was minus about
$500 in cash.
According to information furnish
ed by the sheriff S office last night
Lawrence was in the vicinity of
DiXieland when he met Ford car
with six boys in it. The youngsters
hailed him as he passed, asking that
he give them a lift to relieve the
crowded condition of their machine.
Three of the boys got out and
into his car when he replied favor
ably. The ears continued ON toward
San Diego. One of the boys then
offered Lawrence n drink, the driv-

statement he had been left at Plas-

gave the pumpkin another shove to
roll it along the ground.
Just then, all of sudden, there
was noise in the bushes beside
the path, and voice growlcd:
Speaking of adventures, you are
going to have another one right
away, Uncle Wiggily, And il ism I
going to be a Jolly one, cithcr,'
Who is that?' whispered the
cold pumpkin.
Tit sounds like the Bob Cat :
sighed Uncle Wiggilv. "Ycs. it is
the Bob Cat" he added as he saw
tie short tailed creature. And he
is after my ears, am afraid. "
Don't be afraid, whispered the
cold pumpkin, 81 will save youh'
And how the cold pumpkin saved

"Poor thing said Uncle Wig
gily, striking a match to look for
the cold pumpkin. He found the big,
yellow vegetable down in the fence
corner, with its vine all dried up.
You are too big for me to carry, .
Mr.. Longears said to the yellow
pumpkin, "but | can roll you along

woods, after dark, often the Fox
or the Bob Cat roamed around look

"And those bad chaps think rab-
bits are extra good to eat,'' said
Uncle Wiggily to himself as he
kept on hopping across the field.
Mr. Longears had gone to the
store for Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy.
He had bought the muskrat lady

some tallew candles.
'Why do you need candles whcE
we have electric lightning bugs in
