Hello Folks:

Thanks a Million" to several
unknown people out there in space
who sent in valentines. Why didn't
you put your initials on them and
maybe something would have come
of it? Especially to the one who
sent the. lovely red satin heart
shaped box of candies with the
sweet inscription on the top. Who
ever you are, did you mean that
touching verse? Let us hope so.
And what st. Paul person, with a
huge sense of humor, sent about 20
valentines over here to Minneapo-
| lis? Some were cute and some
were atrocious, rawther. Anyway,
the kids took them all good ma
turedly.
AS the 18th was Lincoln's birth
day we are reminded of one of the
best morsels of wit ever uttered by
President Lincoln, bearing upon
his annoying problem of patronage.
1t was when he had a mild form
of smallpox. 1t may have been mild
but it was the smallpox just the
same and so thought the people,
for no one dared to come near the
White House. The weary man en-
joyed the respite wonderfully al
though he said: "Is it not too bad
that now while l have something to
give to everybody, no one comes
near mel"

PatheisTn

The name pantheism has been
used since about l705 to denote any
system Of belief or speculation
which includes the teaching, God is
all, and all is God; in other words,
the Identification Of the universe
with God or Of God with the uni
verse. The term pantheist is thought
to have been used first by John

Transferring Allegiance

With the exception Of the United
States and Great Britain, says Col
ier's Weekly, nearly every country
in the world refuses to recognize
the right Of citizen or subject to
transfer his allegiance to another
nation. They maintain that every
man is subject to recall to his ma
tive land for military service, even
when he has been a naturalized citi-
zen of another country for years.

Antaeus, Giant Wrestler

In Greek mythology Antaeus was
a gigantic wrestler (son of Earth
and Sea, &c and Poseidon), whose
strength was invincible so long as
he touched the earth. and when he
was lifted from it, his strength
renewed by touching it again. It
was Hercules who succeeded in kill
ing this charmed giant, by lifting
him from the earth and squeezing
him to death.

Praising wynn m ing both as
healthy exercise and sport and en-
phasizing the Importance of knowing
how to swim as safety measure, DR..
Ballou said:
swimming Is wholesome and
popular sport, splendid exercise and
q healthful means of real fun for the
growing youth. I believe that every
school child of proper age should know
how to handle himself in the water.
swimming is not only a healthful
exercise that should be encouraged,
but is safety measure of great i'm
portance in the conservation of hui
man life. The person who does not
know how to swim is badly handi-
capped in an emergency on the water.
Besides risking his own life he may
cause others to risk, If not sacrifice,
theirs.
L am, therefore, glad to encourage
the program by which boys of school
age will be taught the art of SWIM
ming under expert instruction, be-
cause it will prepare scores of youths

1oying various sports on the water"

will be held each day from am. to

Senator Caraway Says Activities

Senator Caraway, Democrat, of
Arkansas believes lobbies constitute a
threat to the South's cotton industry.
The woman Senator said yesterday
1t was becoming increasingly difficult
to obtain consideration of important
national questions without interfer-
ence from pressure groups"
I'VE might as well face the issue
squarely and decide whether we are
going to yield to Government lob
bies or proceed by orderly statutory
processes" she asserted.
Pressure groups seriously threaten
the cotton farmers welfare through
their agitations directed toward dis
rupted international relations. Their
untimely and ill-advised proposals to
boycott the use of silk in this country
would irreparably damage our trade
In the Orient and would be disaster
to the cotton growers who must have
outside markets and also increase en-
ployment in our textile areas"

BILLIONs FOR sEcuRITY

There is one industry that vies
with government in the distribution
of billions of dollars to alleviate
human suffering. and that industry
is life insurance What is more. the
billions It has distributed were not
borrowed on public credit. From
1890 TO 1887, inclusive, the 314 Amer
lean life insurance companies paid
$13,717,915 to poiicyholders and ben
eficiaries, of which about two-thirds
or $S.493. .43s. 1856, was paid directly to
living pOlicyholders. One hesitates
to contemplate what might have
happened If this $13,0OO,O 200, 900 had
not existed as a depression cushion.
Nearly half of the population of
the United States own life insurance

DOES AMERICA WANT

Upon the outcome of the present
controversy between the utility in
dustry and the Federal government,
private versus public ownership,
rests the future of private enterprise.
As David Lawrence recently pointed
out, the principle involved is so
far-reaching in its implications that
the American people may want to
decide at the coming congressional
elections whether public ownership
is to be a national policy. whether
coal mines, automobile companies,
railroads. department stores. retail
shops and what-not shall be owned

A few private electric company

guilty of scattered abuses of public

point, these abuses can always be
corrected by intelligent public regu-

owned by the public and operated by
public agents. the private citizen
would be utterly helpless in seeking
recompense for injury. He would
inevitably find himself hghting
