the endorsement of at least a full

tion of the office of judge has been
faithful and competent, I confidentlv

POETS BRAVE FIGHTING MEN
Writers of Deathless Lines Also Won
immortality on the Bloody Fields
of Battle.
What power have the sacred Nine
over their loved ones to make poets
take to war?
Sidney, writer of deathless lines,
died a gallant soldier.
Danle defended his tenets In arms.
By ron contracted a mortal fever help¬
ing to free Greece from her tyranny,
and Burns was a member of Scotch
dragoons, with no opportunity arising
for heroics that marked him a soldier.
He was, however, valiant, and left
what is probably the greatest war
poem in all poetry, “Scots Wha Hae
Wi’ Wallace Bled!”
And now out of the great defenders
of humanity in the war just being
straightened out comes D’Annunzio,
Italy’s hard, fighting the fight of a cap¬
tain who will hold out “if It lasts all
summer !*’
Joyce Kilmer sleeps In France.
Allan Seeger Is proud “a few brave
drops were ours.”
And Robert Service was at the front
bringing in the mangled, and has given
us a poem iu his “Rhymes of a Red
Cross Man,” entitled “Grand Pere,”
that will make the bravest shudder.
O, ye, who called the land to arms,
ye hypocrites that gave an outburst ot
fine tire witli your pens, redden with
shame ami how an humble head to
these who, as Edwin Markham says
“fought the poetry they sang.”—Mil¬
waukee Sentinel.
Land Question in Chile.
The land question, particularly as It
relates to the Indians, has of late been
receiving attention from those inter¬
ested in the future of Chile. The
tendency has been to take every ad¬
vantage of these natives, who, despite
the many handicaps that official and
unofficial greed have placed in their
way, are admitted to be making sub
stantial progress. They have, as might
have been expected, shown themselves
particularly proficient in agriculture
and cattle breeding. Crying evils in
the administration of the lands have
been pointed out in the public press,
but as yet the authorities do not seem
to be sufficiently interested in remedy¬
ing a state of affairs that does much
to alienate the sympathies of an im¬
portant, if subordinate, part of the
population.
Preserving American Scenery.
While the members of the Associ¬
ated Mountaineering Clubs of North
America are not all devoted to moun¬
taineering, they have a common bond
of interest in the preservation of
American scenery arid in the protec¬
tion of plant and bird life in their
natural environment. The association
Is co-operating with the national park
service for the creation and develop¬
ment of national parks and “monu¬
ments.” A fine collection of litera¬
ture on mountaineering has been form¬
ed by the association at the New
York public library and bibliographies
are being compiled and published.
When this organization was founded
in 191G, it embraced nine clubs and
societies*. Now there were 29 and the
aggregate membership is over 45,000.
Bombarding Sky With Names.
By means of new wireless invention
it will be possible to project sounds
Into the air which will enable an avi¬
ator to know exactly where he Is. For
example, suppose he were passing
over Calgary, from the moment he
approached the region he would re¬
ceive the message “This is Calgary”
until he had left it behind him. And
so on with all places over which he
may pass. In this way his chances
of losing bis way will be considerably
diminished.

ate an indorsement for the second term.

LAND OF SHOCKS
Tahiti Should Be Accustomed to
Earthquakes.
Average of Two a Day for the Last
Two Months Is the Record, Accord¬
ing to Dispatches — Society
Islands All Volcanic.
Two earthquakes a day has been
the average for the last few months
In Tahiti, newspaper dispatches state.
This rocking island is described by
II. W. Smith in a bulletin of the Na¬
tional Geographic society, as follows:
“Tahiti, of the Society islands, is
one of the most Important of the
French possessions in the Pacific, with
steamship connection to San Francisco
and New Zealand.
“The Society islands are of volcanic
origin, arising from the low bed of the
ocean, which has depths near the
islands of 1,500 to 2,000 fathoms,
while the highest peak, in the center
of the island of Tahiti, reached an al¬
titude of 7,300 feet. On a clear morn¬
ing the view as the ship approaches
the harbor of Papeete is most beauti¬
ful, showing deep valleys penetrating
from the coast to the mountain peaks
of the Interior.
“Near Papeete the beautiful Fatauua
valley may be visited In an afternoon.
For a good part of the way a car¬
riage road leads up the valley, offer¬
ing changing vistas.
“Why, indeed, should the Tahitian
toil? There are great leaves of tire
wild ‘tarto’ growing by the roadside;
the young leaves are delicious boiled,
and the curious stranger will find many
other new delicacies of the table—
the alligator pear, the baked pap.va,
the Mantis crab, the raw fish, as good
as the best oyster, served with
Tahitian sauce, and on rs
a salad made from « ht„i ji me
coconut tree.
“In Tahiti, as well as In most of the
South Sea islands, great numbers of
coconuts are grown, and, after being
dried for copra, are shipped in large
quantities to Europe. \Ve were much
interested in the different methods of
gathering the nuts in various Islands.
In Tahiti the natives climb the trees
with the help of a strip of green,
fibrous bark torn off the stem of a
hibiscus tree. After knotting the two
ends together, the climber slips his
feet half through the circle, and,
standing with his legs apart, so as to
stretch the thong tight, ascends the
tree in a series of leaps, with a foot
on each side of the trunk.
“A practiced climber will thus
mount trees of a very considerable
height with a celerity and ease which
do not suggest the long practice actu¬
ally required. On making a trial ray
self, I found it difficult to climb even
so much as a foot frotn the ground.
“In its fresh, green state the coco¬
nut provides n most refreshing drink,
but as It grows older the ‘milk’ hard¬
ens and forms the white inner rind
with which we are all familiar. This is
the celebrated copra and u Is commer¬
cially put to many different uses. In
Tahiti It Is used for sauces and for
coconut oil. One sauce, which was
served with fish at a very enjoyable
picnic, although compounded of
scraped nut and sea water, was palat¬
able.”
Ready for Gabriel.
A negro doughboy who had hit
Paris on A. W. O. L. and supplied
himself generously with the vin sis¬
ters, mingled with stronger waters,
woke suddenly in a still befuddled
condition in the great urban ceme¬
tery of Pere la Chaise, whither his
uncertain steps had taken him. To
make it worse, there was an air raid
going on.
The brother looked around him out
of half closed eyes. On every side
stretched long rows of white monu¬
ments. Sirens shrilled from the city
streets. Dazzling beams of white
Ugjit stabbed the heavens. There
cauld be but one conclusion.
Hastily searching his pockets, he
drew forth his remaining possessions
—a bottle of vin blanc, a pack of
greasy cards, a much worn pair of
ivories—and burled them from him.
“Git gone away Cum me, evidence,”
he muttered. “Now come on, Midtur
Gabriel, I’se ready.” — American
Legion Weekly.
An Extended Tour.
Just before the St. Mihlel show the
Germans blew up an ammunition
dump near a company of Yanks. It
was reported that there was a large
quantity of gas shells in the dump,
and as soon as the explosions began
the Americans Immediately made
themselves scarce with great rapidity.
When the danger had passed all
started drifting back with the excep¬
tion of one man who did not appear
till the next day.
“Well, where yon been?” demanded
the top kick, eyeing him coldly.
“Sergeant," replied the other earn¬
estly, “I don’t know where I bee r
bnt I give you my word I been all day
gettin’ back.—American Legion Week¬
ly.
Making Him Useful.
Mrs. Harrigan—An’ does yer hus¬
band iver get loaded these Volsted

Mrs. Horrlgan—He does that
Mrs.—Harrigan—And what do yon

Mrs. Horrigan—I go right to wowk

Mrs. Harrigan—But don’t ye notice
him at all?
Mrs. Horrigan—I do that I use him
fr th’ mop.—Americas le0m Weekly.
