Commissioned by the latter, this original man has several times travelled around the globe, has written the best ethnographical works on Indians, and founded on the Pacific Ocean the first American Meteorological Institute. In his honor, they have named a creek in Kansas, which he himself discovered, Xantus Creek. “In the postscript,” she answered. “It said: ‘Dear Alice, don’t forget to give this letter to George’.” • Matter of Time Sailor—“Kid me if you like, but I’ll bet that ten minutes after we hit port I’ll be walking down the street with a beautiful woman on each arm.” Marine — “G’wan. There » never was a tattoo artist who could work that fast.” cent of the nation’s coal, about 20 percent of its forest products, nearly 20 per cent of the output of steel and rolling mills, and over 20 per cent of the output of foundries. They purchase the entire output of the great locomotive and car manufacturing plants, save for the small amount which is exported. And railroad securities constitute about 20 per cent of the par value of all corporate securities listed on the leading stock exchange. It is difficult to visualize America’s stake in the privately-owned, publicly-regulated railroads. The lines employ hundreds of thousands of workers—and, on top of that, through their purchasing of supplies they are indirectly responsible for the jobs of millions of others. Every citizen who owns a life insurance policy or a bank deposit has a personal interest in the welfare of the railroads—a large proportion of bank and insurance company assets are invested in railroad bonds. And railroad purchasing, far from being centralized in the great industrial cities, is felt through out the country, and is a significant factor in the economy of all the states. Many a small town factory, no less than a giant industry in a metropolis, lives on railroad orders. To the farmer, the railroads are the transport medium which makes it possible to sell perishables in profitable markets thousands of A Beauty North High: “Where did you get the black eye?” East High: “I went to a dance and was struck by the beauty of the place.” • Opinions Differ Traffic Officer—“As soon as I saw you come around the curve I said to myself, ‘Forty-five at least’.” Woman Driver — “Well, you’re way off.

Not that I couldn’t do it all by my lonesome, but I’m uot that greedy. I hear the president’s wife is out of town for a couple weeks, No wonder he looks so glum. I’m glad Mike Easal had his tonsils out; I’m so tired of talking about my own operations. Davy Orbán is so-o-o-o tired by the end of the day he can’t even attend one teeny-weeny meeting I'm telling you—he’s missing miles away. To the manufacturer, they are the transport medium which enables him to deliver machines and clothes, furniture and beverages, to distributor and consumer at maxium speed and minimum cost. To all shippers, they are the sole means of transportation which goes through with rarely a delay, regardless of weather or the whims of Nature. This is but part of our stake in the iron horse. And it illumines vividly the sweep ing public interest in proposed regulatory policies and laws which are fair and equitable, and contribute to railroad progress, spending, employment and community betterment.--------------O-------------THE DEVELOPMENT of the Fraternal Insurance System has fe-oen brought to its present standard of efficiency by the power of men and women working together in an intelligent manner for a cause that has contributed much to the Soft Snap The top sergeant sang out just before the company was dismissed: “All those fond of music step two paces forward.” With visions of a soft job in the band half a dozen men stepped out. The sergeant growled: “Now then, you six mugs get busy and carry that piano up to the top floor of the officer’s quarters.” GIRLS! HERE’S NEWS!!! — Branch 434 is sponsoring a POPULARITY CONTEST in September. Bigger and better prizes than ever. Pres! oh, Pres!—Hand me the brillo. I want to powder my nose! Here’s to—the winnah!

It is real evidence of earnest cooperation and harmony in the general good for all concerned.--------o-------PATRIOTISM Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever. —Dcniel Webster--------o--------THE FRATERNAL LIFE INSURANCE policy is a great safeguard against destitution of those dependent upon us whom we may leave behind. It is the saving fund and protection of the man who is compelled to earn his living “by the sweat of his brow.” THE 20 PER CENT INDUSTRY One of the most accurate descriptive terms ever applied to the railroads is “America’s 20 per cent industry.” The railroads normally r\nv*/>V*n nn iyiovia ihn v» OA v\<•>v Branch 434 — South Bend, Ind.

I hope all my friends don’t go off and leave me like that, because if they do I won’t have a single soul to keep me company by the time I get to be 60—70 years. (P. S. I’m just another career girl.)
