To Provide for Common Defense Most Americans believe that this nation should never be found as unprepared'for national

defense as it was when it entered the war. De

plorable conditions then revealed the necessity

of adequate armed forces and sufficient muni

tions to protect the national honor.

The Kansas City Star believes it is the para

mount duty of Congress to provide for the common defense, adducing the following argument: The army general staff's program to make

universal military training and service a part of

the army organization plan the plan that will

was called eastern Indiana's pioneer merchant,

and retrospection shows that he well deserved the title, not only because of the length of his business career but also because of the high integrity and nobility of purpose that characterized his life.. In the course of the last few years, Richmond has lost almost all its pioneers. Mr. Knollenberg was one of the last in the illflstrious catalogue of men who years ago set out to make Richmond an ideal city. The greatness of Mr. Knollenberg is not to be found in his mercantile success, brilliant as it was. His sterling traits of character, his devotion to high ideals, his liberal support of meritorious enterprises, his expenditures of thousands cf dollars to educate poor boys and girls, and his active participation in every civic improvement that would redound to the welfare of the city, marked him as a true leader in the community. Financial success did not harden his heart against the appeal of the poor and lowly. A poor boy himself, he never lost sight, during his career, of the obstacles that confront persons in adverse circumstances, and was always willing

The present Congress will not be able to plead

even so poor excuse as political expediency for neglecting an imperative duty. Such considerations

ought to have a mighty little weight with this

Congress which is drawing to its end. If this Congress thinks the country made a great mistake in not returning it last month it might induce the country to share that view by an act of real statesmanship performed after the possibility of any political reward has passed. It could take no nobler revenge upon the incoming Congress than to anticipate the action that Congress will be almost certain to take, by passing a universal service law now. The present Congress probably will have

His benefactions were so many and so varied that they cannot be catalogued. He helped relieve distress, educate poor boys and girls, establish institutions of learning. Thousands of dollars were given by him for church purposes, missions, civic affairs, education, cultural and reform movements. Most of his benefactions were given quietly and without publicity. His life and career will not be forgotten quickly in this community, where hundreds of persons were benefited by his kindness and influenced by his character. Such a man is an asset to the city. He is a determining factor in its development. He is a center from which radiate unseen but powerful incentives for right thinking and right living that do not perish with the man but go on, indefinitely perpetuating themselves and continually inciting others to seek high ideals and to manifest them in life. The man is dead but his influence in this community lives on. His worth is not estimated in the value of his estate but in the greatness of

his character and his willingness to help others army deserve well, of the country.

By GEORGE L. VON CARLESON. In these days of hurry and worry, the business man feels the necessity of some sort of recreation that will answer as well as relax something that will take his mind off the cares of the office or the store, and give him the rest needed by an over worked physical system. But rest does not always mean doing nothing. The ideal rest, such as the business man needs, is that secured by a change of occupations, which will give his nerves a chance to let up on the tension they are under during the day, and furnish something for boths hands and head to do, so unlike the activities of ordinary business life that new set of muscles and thoughts are called Into play. I know of .nothing which affords more healthy recreation than garden work, and the pleasures of it cannot be overestimated. Indeed they can only be properly understood by the man who becomes a gardener for an hour or two daily. Nine men out of ten who drop the pen and the yardstick for the hoe and spade for a little times each day, soon become so in love with amateur gar dening in Its various phases that they catch themselves thinking about It during business hours, and when the books In office are closed, and all business worry is left behind when they hie away to the home where a bit of ground is a waiting for them to expend their energies on. I know of many hard-worked men who have taken up gardening as a means of pleasure and relaxation, who declare that they find in gardening work a tonic far more effective than any a physician has ever been able to prescribe for them. It gives their weary, cramped muscles just the exercise they need to rid them of the soreness of the day's work indoors. It takes them out into the fresh air, where the sight of "green things growing' rest their tired eyes as much as the use of hoe, or rake, or spade rest their limbs, and they breathe in new life and strength, and find health as well as pleasure in their new occupation. But the best of it all is, they soon become so in love with it, that they never care to give it up after it is once begun, and the benefits derived from it increase yearly. The habit of gardening is easily formed and from this fact we might argue that there is a tendency for us to revert to the original occupation of man, which was that of gardener, we are told when "Adam delved and Eve span."

ness as a means of national security. If it ad- t hn""en l'T2 fi ain J I the soil, and the full-grown man is journs without providing for the future national I simply going back to first principles defense it will leave the country the choice of two cbnee lny mLM thfjossibiiconclusions either that this Congress is so j ities that lie wrapped up in a little

piece or ground until ne begins to aig after and develo pthem. Then he finds flowers and vegetables there waiting to be evolved from the chaos of the primitive soil by the magic wand of the hoe and the spade. He has a vague idea, when he begins, that a bit of ground a few feet square is simply a plaything which will afford him amusement for a little while, but as soon as he gets down to work on it he finds out that the possibilities are limitless. This is one of the chief pleasures of it the delightful diversions that are constantly being made In it, what we flnd"out today piques our curiosity as to what will be found out tomorrow, and the fascination of it is like that of a game which we never know" what is going to happen next. v Now, I am very well aware that what I have said about gardening as a means of restfull, healthy recreation for the business man sounds a good deal like an essay on Jhe subject, but I did not intend it to be that I wanted to present some of the arguments in its favor in such a manner that they would attract the attention of overworked business men for whom I am going to write a series of practical, sensible articles on gardening on a small scale, knowing that if they can be interested sufficiently to begin the work they will hold to it there after, without anybody's urging. Most homes have a little space about them which can be given up to flower beds. And most homes have in them women who need Just the kind of tonic, work Out of doors will give them;, women who have flowers and would be glad to have them all about the home, grounds. Let me suggest

sailles. This Congress, therefore, can have no knowledge or guarantee that the peace conference will evolve anything a League of Nations or any other plan to take the place of prepared-

spiritless that it is willing to leave the credit of a great constructive measure to its successor, or that it is so devoid of national feeling that it is willing to believe, without proof, that an international league will be the outcome of peace, that it will be successful in operation and that the American Nation can safely turn over to it the most sovereign function a nation can possess and exercise. That function the constitution of the United States includes specifically among those for which the Union was formed "to provide for the common defense." It is not delegated to any foreign or international agency, nor will any Congress that so delegates it without providing defense by a national

But the dividends will be large, in more ways than one flowers, shrubs, etc., to enjoy and, to give away to your friends, and the health and pleasure which constitutes a profit not to be reckoned in dollars and cents.

When you examine it you will see for yourself that nothing has been overlooked every detail is in keeping. That mighty worm drive axle, that 7 to 8 inch frame, those extra wide springs, with their heavy bushed shackles gusset plates that look as though they were designed for bridgework. So you can go on throughout the entire truck, and you will find each part has strength, and to spare. This means lack of trouble for you low upkeep and steady service. Is it any wonder that Clydesdale Trucks have built up such a splendid reputation for strength and durability, and that analytical truck buyers are increasing their equipment with Clydesdales ?
