Entered at the postoffice at Winnetka, Illinois. as mail matter of the second class, under the act of March 3, 1879, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 Columbus Day Columbus Day is now a holiday in 32 out of 48 states. It comes at so pleasant a time of the year for out of doors activity, that it is becoming uni- versal. A holiday ought to commem- orate some hero or great event, and the man who discovered America made a record of courage and deter- mination that can well be emulated by all ambitious people. The group of men who first explor- ed the savage shores of America were one of the most splendid examples of heroism that the world has produced. In these days of safe navigation, peo- ple have no conception what it meant to start out across the wild seas in the frail cockle shells of the 15th century. Many who tried these adventurous voyages never returned. Man seemed but an insect fighting against the ter- rific force of sea and storm. Those who braved the terrors of the waves believed that the adventurous spirit could accomplish great things for human progress. Most of them did not get much personal reward. They opened the way for others who followed in their footsteps and took advantage of their toil. Modern pro- gress was infinitely advances by the labors and efforts of the original dis- coverers. The opening up of America meant relief for the congested populations of Europe, and the development of new resources and opportunities. Eventually it led to a great free re- public, so that we all owe something to the genius and devotion of Colum- bus and his associates. There ought to be something of the spirit of Columbus in all our daily life. There should be a willingness to try new things, to hazzard new adven- "tures, to work for the great ends of human progress. If Columbus Day does have something to keep alive this great example of heroism and leadership, it serves a notable purpose in our daily life. The Hunting Season While the growing scarcity of game has made hunting less attractive, yet many men travel many miles for a lit- tle sport in the woods, and the auto- mobile makes distant hunting grounds more accessible. A good many people nowadays do not approve of hunting. They would prefer to see wild animals and birds to enjoy their life unmolested. Still hunting is so deep rooted an instinct, inherited from so many generations of primitive ancestors, that it will be a common practice for many years. If it is legitimate to kill a sheep for her luscious mutton chops, it must be equally legitimate to kill a deer or wild duck for use a food. Hunting takes men out of the wear- isome routine of their daily life, brightening up their wits by the ne- cessity of matching their brains with the instinct of wild life. Most men return to their work refreshed by a hunting trip, with the strength of the hills and the restfulness of the woods giving tonic to their previously weary steps.
