Another old veteran has answered

Many men are slip-shodding over
the state in one capacity or another
at the expense of teh taxpayers, in

Managers of the Coolidge cam

Congress must do something to re

may be badly needed this fall. They

Hi Johnson says tlte manager of
the Coolidge forces is giving out
false reports in regard to state dele
gations to the Cleveland conven
tion. He says Coolidge may be nom-
chaincd to a desk and far from the
wild, free life of the wilderness, it
was too much. The trenroiing hand
loosed the doors of the cage and
Denby flew to the open spaces he
loved so well never to return again.
Truly President Coolidge is a tender
man.
Or it may be that there is another
picture that we ought to call to mind
in interpreting the announcement of
the chief magistrate by which the
resources, the resolution and the
plighted honor of these United
States is dedicated to the proposition
that the out-of-doors shall not be
moved in the woodshed of plutocracy
of the crass industrialism of our' fair
land. Shade the eye of imagination
with the hand of fancy and see if you
do not decry the outlines of an
earnest man bent intently upon the
reading of a book. The book lies
open of itself, giving evidence that
the page has been well road and of
ten. It is biography. The book is
the book of Theodore Roosevelt,' the
elder. The page is the page on "Get
ting the Ear of the Populace." There
is set down the story of the "Inter
view on Reformed Spelling and the
Declaration on Race Suicide," to
gether with many another. There is
told how, by giving out "cold" copy
to the newspaper boys on Sunday
evening, the poor, starved Monday
papers leap upon it and give it head
lines free of competition such as
events of week-days ordinarily be
get. It was T. R. who learned the
secret of the first page on Monday
rather than page fourteen on some
other day. The man in our picture
closes the book, draws the foolscap
toward him and indites his message
to the world. It is released on Sun
day evening.
Somehow, says the president, the
country itself must take the lead.
Realizing that so tremendous a sub
ject is tilled with dynamite and tee
tering on the brink of an abyss, he is
vague. Other men have been vague.
The republican platform was vague
on foreign policy. Mr. Fall has been
known to be vague in some of his
statements in public. Mr. Lodge,
forthright and outspoken apostle of
advancement that he is, is vague
about what to do next. But it is the
characterizing distinction of the
president that he can take a subject
as vague as all outdoors and evacu
ate, so to speak, vagueness itself.
The country is to eo-operate in co
ordination, we gather. Probably the
out-of-doors under a Coolidgean
epoch would be thoroughly ventilat
ed with access to the open air daily
and left to the free play of wind and
weather. Appropriations to that end
aren't in order yet. but the leaven of
the idea has not had time to work.
In due season the appropriation ex
perts will be able to meet the situa
tion. Co-operate, in the lexicon of
the federal union, means to co-appropriate.
The treasury contains
treasure trove, and thence will come
the money for Bull Creek picnic
grounds hereinafter to be annexed to
the great out-of-doors by act of con-arr-
ss - assuming that nature over
looking the matter. It is a ereat
movement, and to Mr. Coolidge goes
the credit.
college president each has found or
shall find his true place in life in the
nature of the idea that dominates it.
Man is cowardly or heroic, worth
less or useful, wretched or happy,
by this one test what is the big
idea?

A LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS

thing like this:
Once upon a time, a man had a.
furnace which was not heating his'
home with satisfaction. One day he
became angry and going down to th
basement stood before the furnace
and exclaimed: "Not another lump
of coal will you get until you give
me more heat." The poor fellow
froze -to death.
Herein is a lesson for advertisers.
Some men put a little ad in the pa
per and If it doesn't bring the re
sults that he expected, he says: "I
won't advertise again until the other
ad bring results." So the poor fool
starves to death.
For farther proof of this look up
statistics and compare the figures of
failures among advertisers with the
figures of failures of non-advertisers

OME flour, shortening, spice, sugar, salt, eggs and milk
do not assure a light, delicious cake. Similarly, gasoline
containing all desirable ingredients low, medium and
higher boiling point fractions may be either first-rate or
decidedly inferior motor fuel. In each case balanced proportion
is the determining factor.
So-called "improved" gasolines are always deficientin some im
portant particular. If it isn't slow starting and pick-up, it is poor
mileage, heavy carbon accumulations or some other big defect.
Varying the proportions was tried with Red Crown, but in
numerable tests and experiments demonstrated that you can
neither add nor take away any fraction of Red Crown and have
as thoroughly satisfactory, dependable and economical motor
fuel. It is balanced for quick, clean burning, for developing
maximum power, for delivering most miles per gallon.
To get the most out of your car drive up to any Red Crown
Service Station and get a filling of Red Crown, the balanced

service, full measure of uniformly high grade gasoline and
