Two methods have been suggested. On the one hand, it has been sug- gested that the Republican members hold a caucus called either by the Chairman or by the Secretary of the Republican State Central committee. This plan meets with sincere and. respectable opposition from a number of the delegates elect, upon the ground that it gives too much of a partisan aspect to a work which is above and heyond parties and may imperil the ratification of any con- stitution, however meritorious, which may be proposed by the convention. The opponents of the caucus sug- gests as an alternative that the Con- vention, before it proceeds to the election of a President, might adopt a rule substantially as follows: Resolved, that for the election of a President of this Convention there shall be required 60 (or 68) votes: Resolved further, that this rule firmative vote of at least 76 delegates. To the end that there may be full and free discussion of the plans above suggested, or any other plan, the fifteen delegates take it upon themselves to invite citizens with a large majority of the delegates elect to attend an informal meeting to be held at the Leland hotel in Springfield on Monday evening, January 5, 1920. at 7 o'clock, to consider 'the pro- cedure to be followed in organizing | the Convention. i t is not intended that the accept- | ance of this invitation will commit | any individual to any procedure and | he delegates, it is said.are issuing this | invitation only for the purpose of| ascertaining informally the sentiment | of the great majority of the delegates | elected to the Convention as to the | wisest and fairest method of organ-| izing it. i} SAVE THE NICKELS i "By. saving nickels and dimes =a on lays the foundation of | e--James A.

NH sn And néver, 1 believe on all the ws vy ; re i Will burdens bear so -de : Ey Stephen A. Lloyd. ge Sep: 'long shadows of the old year fade in the dawning of the new, it is a good thing to sit at twi- light and let memory, that faithful ctistodian of our life's history, bring béiore us the pictures that are used the volume marked 'As the last to illustrate "1919." 1e there are, golden with the joy attained ambitions, from some the landscape breathes the fra- grance of kindly thought and gentle helpfulness, hut not a few-are gray and cold with the pencilings of de- feated purposes and unfulfilled hopes. Not all of them have attained the beauty or coloring which they, had in the vision of those-early hours of the now dying year, and yet, "What is our failure here umph's evidence For the fullness of the days? and we can say with Rabbi Ben Ezra, "What 1 aspired to be, And we as not, comforts me. and face "1920" with new courage "tq, live w 11 our might while we: do:live," because the past was not all bad, and again the vision is rose and gold and crimson. I recall having seen John Mulvany, the painter of that heroic panel rep- resenting *"Custer's Last Charge," take, on one occasion, a rough piece of board and, with pallette, knife and brush and color, develop a beautiful landscape which his membry had brought from a glen high up in the Irish hills. So the New Year places before us the object that is to receive the labor of our souls for the next twelve months. It may be a pre- pared canvas, stretched and sized, or it may be a rough board and its name is "Environment," but the col- ors are ours, and we may mix them as we will, the brushes are in our hands, the vision in our hearts, and only faltering fear or indolent heedless- ness can spoil the picture for the gallery of the year. Only let us be ourselves, keep clean the tools with which we work, be willing to sweat for what we want, feel within ourselves the striving of the man we wish to be, and above all keep smiling. God no more intends that the pic- ture of our lives shall grow out of the achievement of our fathers than He does that the glories of the sun- set shall be used to color the sky at mid-day. History, bilology and tra- dition are not moulds into which our | "lives are to be poured, but shrines but tri-| whence we may draw inspiration. Therefore-- --Be thyself. Thoughts are the colors which taken upon the brushes of our word are painted upon the minds of our fellowmen. Therefore, let every thought be transparent, every word inspected lest the muddiness of the one or the impurity of the other spoil the canvas. -- --Be clean. Every success or happiness worth having is worth working for, but no principle of fame is worth WOrry. Approach the day with mind alert and hand steady and a firm reliance in God for the strength of the hours, for as Klingle says-- f "God broke our years to hours and days, That hour by hour And day by day, Just going on a little way, * We might be able, all along "To keep quite strong.

The Public Health By Harriet Fulmer (= (On Look closely at the American Red Cross Christmas seal and see what an interesting story it tells. Old Santa Claus thought so much of our health and happiness that he had his bag marked with the American Red Cross and below he said, "You cannot have happiness unless you have health", then in each lower corner he put the double red cross which is the badge of the Modern Health Crusaders when they start out on the journey to fight in the crusade against Tuberculosis. What a big story on a little stamp! The 1919 sale of Red Cross Christ- mas seals is the largest ever record- ed. This means a wonderful contri- bution to Public Health service throughout the country. The Chica- go Tuberculosis Institute is the agent for Cook county. Any school in Cook county desiring the 'installation of "The Modern Health Crusaders" may have the serv- ices of a nurse for this purpose upon application to the County Health of- fices. UNIQUE BELGIAN SPORT Sand-boéat racing is,a sport enjoyed by Belgians and visitors along the sand dunes of La Panne. The boats are so named because they are sailed on the shore. A small frame is spread on four wheels and on the cross bars ized mast and sail. This wheeley cr 15 guid- ed by a rope, as hoys steer a heh sledge or a small wheel. In a good breeze the boats make 15 to 20 miles an hour. The sand sailor can tack or turn his craft around just as easily as if he were sailing on water.
