On the 2nd of November, when the people wil remember All the tragic tribulations that have been their lot before, They. will reach a prompu decision to compel com- plete ‘excision Of the men who've held commissiorf !rom the votm heretofore. With their marks upon the ballots they will even up the score, Swearing softly, “Nevermore.” Years ago the trouble started, when republicans departed With the country’s course uncharted on a demo- cratic:shore. Ruthless Underwood and Simmons. tore pratectlon into: ribbons With a tariff law the like of which was never seen before. Al republican prosperity was gone except the core. Will we keep it? Nevermore. ‘While industrial depression fcllowed closely the pos- session By the democrats of license they had seldom sensed before, To the south the Carranzistas shed the blood of vile Villistas. Both took toll of Huertistas with a vengeance ‘born of yore. [ “Cease your quan‘elmg, my children,” Wllson chid- ed. “I implore.” Did he stop them? Nevermore. When the bloody German Kaiser took the role of world reviser, Woodrow Wilson, moralizer, while the earth was wet with gore, Wrote the Klohenzollem pirate thus: “I feel a trifle ‘irate That you sunk the Lusitania and from rescues you forebore. We are all’ too proud to fight, bub repehtxons we w/ deplore.”” |l Did-we hke it? Nevermore. Aa each submarme dmster saw. the paclfist school- master With his forces ‘failing faster to suppress men’s anger more, honor. to restore. Will we lose it? Nevermore. When the cruel conflict ended Mister Wilson com- g prehended That his mission ‘was world sav:or—let his egotism soar, He proceeded then to Paris, and the homage paid him there is Shll a source of constant wonder on America’s home shore. But they soon discerned the motive in the message that he bore. It was Wilson, nothing more. With an overweening notion that he knew a peerless potion To control all men’s emotion they had yielded to before, Heo contrived a league of nations and with artful explanations " -Gained the favor of his, colleagues 'round the table —the Big Four. Tongue in cheek the members signed 1t Wilson thought that®war was o’er. Did they think so? ' Nevermore. When the treaty left his pocket, and upon ‘the senate H docket Fell, much like a burned-out rocket, there to lie and ' _rise no more, Patriotic votes rejected and with stern command directed " That the treaty be delivered to the man whose name it bore, There to stay forever after—hut a bit of ancient lore. . Did he grel it? Nevermore. fo.h his treaty clgSe beside him, there he sits " _while all abide him *Till the 4th of March shall signal that. his lease 3 on pow'r is’o'er, ‘While his ‘days of reign we number, still he’s schem- ing to encumber All our nation’s independence thh the league we’ve shown th¢ door; Still with stubbornness insistent cries, “Surrender,” nothing maore. Will we do it? Nevermore. —— Don’t worry ‘over the_troubles of your neighbor. The modern way is to let him worry over yours. A —_— E.H.

SIS SR NEWSI’APEIS AND FREE PUBLICITY “ The Corn Exchange, a Philadelphia newspaj after a seriatim review ot what a’ newspape : published for, says: “So ‘the newspaper gives more of its. services free than'almost nny other inltitw- tion that is not an endowed-charity.” It comes to this. conclusion after: proving ‘what it aur;ed to Pprove, speaking of its own' city, and the same lp-' plies to all cities, in uylng. ““The people of this clty never expect a slnpyl(d to do.anything but build ships.

TEACHES THRIFT Rgliutlofi of over $500,000 a year fron the sale 'of waste material which . ‘otherwise would have been thrown away.is the achievement. of the Pa- eific; Division of the American Red " Cross,’ eLibracing California, Arizona and “Nevada; according to a report i " Just lndfl'ed to National Headgquar- ) quita trivial’ to ‘save the 01 {in foil from'a stick of gum or & package of tigarettes, but the idea. ot getting people to save tin @ of tm'owing it away is Yésponsible for & very remarkable de- velopment of the Salvage and Shop | movement in’the Pacific Division. 1n ':(ornla, '.h'ought of the idea of saving tin foil for the red Cross and the first month’s sale of $50.50 was sd‘encour- aging that the work was continued. The business grew and expanaed into 8 Red Cross Salvage Warehouse and a Red Cross Salvage Shop, and through these many thousands of dollars are being turned monthly into the.treas- uries of the Red Cross in that divi- sion. This money is used for carry- éng on Red Cross work in the Chap- s, T “Phe purposes of the work are many, lor it can be looked at from the finan- clal side, the social service .side and the economic side. ' In the Salvage Warehouse ‘are collected and sold all forms of junk—paper and magazines; metals, rags, rubber, tin foil, bottles —which’ ordinarily . would -go . to waste. Paper and magasines are us- ually gsold in carload lots and one ‘chapter in a California town of ‘less than 10,000 population makes an in- come of seven hundred dollars a month from waste paper.
