THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918
Lesser things will drop out as the hand closes upon the larger duty or the greater blessing, just as the hand that reaches out to grasp the strong oak lets go its hold on the blade of grass it had gathered,-Phillips Brooks.
AN OVERSIGHT?
TWO soldiers, members of S. A. T. C, were seen to take no notice whatever of the large American flags carried through the streets of Lawrence by women members of the Salvation Army during the Haskell victory parade, Monday,
Would young men who hold so little respect in their hearts for the flag of our country follow it very far on the field of battle? It is doubtful.
Fair play is an essential American quality.
Their position is similar to that of a man who accepts the protection of another man whom he has snubbed and abused.
The ban on sweets is lifted. Retail sales of candy are no longer restricted to pound lots. Be tactful.
KEEP AN EVEN KEEL
GETTING up on the wrong side of the bed is a common ailment, but getting up on the right side and marching through the day without trouble, and going to bed on the wrong side although unusual, is possible.
No more K. P, duty? Too bad. Mother was beginning to look forward to a complete transformation.
Perhaps we have a day full of problems and solve them all, except the last, with a smile. At the end of the day, with the slate clean, when we are about ready to shut up shop, someone comes in and interrupts us. We may be in a hurry to go home—perhaps we have to meet someone—an unpleasant remark escapes us, someone goes away disappointed, and we go home feeling that the day has been a failure. A little more patience will round out a perfect day and send us to bed on the right side.
There are so many people worrying about how all the minute problems of peace are to be arranged, that they haven't time to celebrate the fact that the fighting is over or to use their influence and money to get the boys back home again, and to keep them comfortable until they do get home.
WHAT IT COSTS TO FIGHT
FIGURES tell tales. A let up in the program of the ordance department will swell Uncle Sam's bank account considerably.
A good bookkeeper, with little trouble, could figure the amount to be saved when he knows that $12,000,00,00 was scheduled to be spent in a two-year campaign against Germany.
When one knows that $9,000,000,000 is the value of all the gold in the world, and that $3,-
000,000,000 is the total of all the gold in the United States, one is better able to estimate the extent of the war program.
According to a government statistician $1,000,000,000 in twenty dollar gold pieces would load sixty-three freight cars to a capacity of 60,000 pounds each—a train load three-quarters of a mile long.
All the money the government had ever spent in 138 years of its history, before the declaration of the war, amounted to $25,000,000,000.
Trifity Italians in Manchester, Conn., have discovered that rabbit meat cuts the cost of living. Because of crowded quarters, it has become necessary to raise the rabbits under front porches. Tony now steps out and gets a stew and does it without leaving his own veranda. The corner meat market is having a hard time to beat the rabbit competition.
HERE AND THERE
It almost always surprises our French friends to learn that New Mexico and New Jersey are about as far apart as Carrie Nation and the Model License League. Some of them, educated by the movies, imagine that cowboys roam through the canyons adjacent to Wall Street, New York, and that buffaloes woof and snort and paw the earth on Boston common.
For our own part, most of us are in turn hazy as to the location of French places. It comes as a sort of shock to learn that Nice is not on the Atlantic coast, or that Lyon is not one of the base ports the names of which we can't use in our letters. And it is little short of shattering when the truth finally comes home to us that the province of Maine, France, is an island as Iowa.
Something tells us that, as a result of our sojourn here, the little Willies of the future will pay even more attention to the contents of their jagerries than the little Willies of the past pains to the copes of Diamond Dick and Frank Merriwell that they used to smuggle behirr those bulky books. Something tells us, too, that the little Pierres of the future will be able to bound Oklahoma and define Kansas with the best of us. -The Stars and Stripes.

MEDALS AND BADGES
In the military and naval service of the United States there are a number of authorized medals and badges presented to the officers and enlisted men in recognition of thir gallant services and deeds in the wars in which our Country has been engaged.
These are usually suspended from a small section of ribbon, the colors of the ribbon being distinctive for each medal. With undress and service uniforms the medals themselves are not worn. The ribbons are worn on the left breast, the one of oldest date being worn nearest the center line of the coat and the others in order of precedence toward the left shoulder.
Medals and badges are proudly worn and highly prized by their recipients and are often handed down to posterity as valued heirlooms.
The regulations of the present day forbid the wearing by the officers and enlisted men of the services of the United States of any medal or decoration granted by any foreign state or ruler, although the Congress has in a number of instances authorized officers and enlisted men to receive such decorations.
The following medals and badges are authorized by Act of Congress or by executive order:

LOVE'S LANTERN
Bits of Readable Verse
Discovered and Handed in by Readers of the
University Daily Kannan
Because the road was steep and long
And through a dark and lonely land,
God set upon my lips a song
And put a lantern in my hand.
Through miles on weary miles of night
That stretch reliessit on my way
My lantern burns scense and white,
An unexhausted cup of day.
O golden lights and lights like wine,
How dim your hoisted splendors are,
Behold this little lamp of mine:
It is more starlike than a star!

THE SMUDGE CURE
"Nervous breakdown, debility; nothing much to worry about. Get in the country; long walks in the open sir, etc. No alcohol in any form, and—"
The doctor packed away his tools.
"Oh, doctor—not that!"
"One cigar a day!" reiterated the doctor, inexorably.
Six weeks later the patient returned to town.
"How do you feel?" queried the doctor.
"How do you feel? Quirked the
Splendid! Fit on a fiddled!"
"And you liked it all?"
"Yes, everything except the one cigar." The doctor wagged his head and smiled. "The to-bacco habit, my dear sir—"
"Ian's any joke," put in the patient ruefully.
"It is hard for a man at my time of life to take
up smoking!"—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
“Remember, this war is for the sake of peace.
“I'm already beginning to feel the peaceful results in my own home,” replied Mr. Cumrox, confidentially. “Nobody plays Wagnerian music any more.”—Washington Star.
BLESSING OF WAR
BENIGHTER BOSTON
Owing to the war a distinguished Boston man, deprived of his summer trip to Europe, went to the Pacific coast instead. Stopping off at Salt Lake City, he strolled about the city and made the acquaintance of a little Mormon girl.
"I'm from Boston," he said to her; "I suppose you do not know where Boston is?"
"Oh, yes,' I do," answered the little girl eagerly. "Our Sunday-school has a missionary there."—The Argonaut.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS MY SHARE
By BRUCE BARTON
He is a conscientious gentleman, who honestly wants to do right. And he came to me shaking his head.
"I want to do my full part in this United War Work Campaign," he said. "Do you think a hundred dollars is my share?"
And I told him that it would be hard for anyone but himself to decide. "There are so many different ways of looking at money," I said.
It's a dollar and seventy cents for every man, woman and child in the land; it's more than eight dollars and a half for every household.
A hundred and seventy millions looks big at first glance. It is forty times what Jefferson gave for the Louisiana territory.
"Of boys?" he questioned. "I do not understand."
It's less than fifteen cents a day for each of our soldiers and sailors," I answered. "Fifteen cents a day to give them warmth and comfort and entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the thought of mother and of God."
"You can figure it on that basis," I told him. "On the basis of dollars and cents. Or you can figure it on the basis of boys."
"Fifteen cents a day for a boy: two for a quarter a day. How many boys will you take?"
And his eyes kindled. "I think I could take ten at least," he said. He drew his cheek book out.
"Figure it out and tell me the price," he said. "I want you to give them the best you've got. What is it going to cost?"
-"for ten boys, for a year, at two for a quarter a day?"
So I figured it out for him: suppose you figure it out for yourself.
