"On the OOth anniversary of the birth \ of Womlrow Wilson hundreds of h : s admirers in all parts of the country held dinners and other events in honor of the memory of the War President. The United States government lent its hand to the occasion to the extent If? of issuing on that day the stamps I bearing a picture of the former Pres ident. The ceremonies in honor of the day were planned by those persons who ft... classed 11*25 as a “Woodrow Wilson” ft* year because of the steps made during aft the year for world peace. While all ft that could have been done was not ft done, rmftiy definite things were ac ■p complished nevertheless, and the world ft is much nearer a lasting peace policy ft than it was when the year began. * The United States is not going to B§. join the League of Nations but just the same it is going to give careful ME thought if not sanction to an arms ft conference called by tin* council of ft the League. At the same time Presi- U' dent Coolhlge and other national fig fi| ures are working for American partic ; B ipation in the World Court, an or | ft ganization whose chief aim is estab | lishment of agreements that will out - i? law war. Many people will not aim it il but | Woodrow WilHon was the man who Bs started the world thinking of a defi nite peace policy. He had the con ■ §T victiou and the eounigi*" to back the ■jp conviction. He started a movement that eventually will lead to a peace Ijl; treaty endorsed by every leading na "tion in tile world. Such a pact may not be named the League of Nations IIK but it will of necessity embody the li Jr principles set forth by the former President in his League. it has been a "Woodrow Wilson” Gt year to be sure and the world should WS,. hope that 1926 will see even more ■iff staeps looking to world peace. 1 | the FORERUNNER OF A SE- K VERB WINTER. |K ; Those persons who have read about Hp 1 ' signs of a severe winter are shouting Bii;,. w I told you so.” now that the mercury Hp 1 has been flirting with zero in this »!

Striking miners and owners of the nrtjie in which they formerly worked, are meeting about every day now in hope that a settlement can be reach ed. Usually, representatives of the two groups meet in tlye same city Nut in different hotels, draw up their pro posals and then meet jointly. The pro posals for the most part are about the same as the demands made by both sides on the day the strike start ed. Millions of dollars have been lost in wages, children in the mining towns have been hungry and cold and the public has had to pay more for its coal, as a result of the strike. So far as can be seen now the miners are go ing to gain nothing that will mean j much. The operators have been con tent with the shutdown and the pub lic has been forced to substitutes for 1 fuel. Football Facts. Charity and Children. This scribe has never been a foot ball fan. In fact, he has deplored the steadily rising sentiment in favor of a game so brutal: and he protested against it as long as he hoped feeble protests would avail anything. But the tide in its favor continued to rise, and the "noble” and "manly” game (about as noble anfl manly as a Mexi can bull fight) continued to grow in public favor. !We are glad to see some of the leading universities of the country are beginning to discredit the game and to declare that it has been over emphasized to the injury and neglect of the regular college course for which the institutions of learning were founded. In other words, these universities see tfie follly of allowing the tail to wag the dog. This is a good omen of a better day. It means that a fast anfl successful ball team will not in future measure the stan dard of a college. It was never a fair test, for it did not even test the capacity of a student body to endure hard knocks and rough kicks in the pit of the stomach . Professionals have been employed by hook or crook (mostly by crook) to join the local team. Sometimes these aliens are hired to take a course in college and thus are nominally college students, but really mere employes whose hearts are in the game rather than in col lege work. The maintenance of a good ball team means money and a lot of it: and the college with the most money has every advantage over the institution that cannot pay its professors decent salaries. If Duke University placed the emphasis that some colleges do on its ball team, it could easily become the champion of the South, if not of the United States. We hope that Duke will not put the emphasis on its ball team but on high er and worthier things. It is proper and right to cultivate college athletics but physical fitness should never over shadow the development of mental power: and in many of our schools physical training has taken the first and highest place and head work sub ordinated to a lower and less import ant one. Florida’s First Balk. Wilmington Star. Florida has met with her first dif ficulty. and one entirely unexpected, in connection with her constitutional amendment forbidding the levying of an inheritance tax by the state of Florida. The proposed internal rev enue law now pending before con gress, proposes in ille collection of estate taxes, to allow credit for in heritance taxes paid by the taxpayer to the states, up to SO per cent, of the tax charged by the federal gov ernment. At thiA provision Florida balks, because under her constitution I no inheritance tax is paid to the] state of Florida, and therefore the es- 1 fates taxed by the federal govern ment in Florida would get no credit.! Congressman Green, of Florida. I charges that t'uis is a direct thrust at the state of Florida and should not be indulged in by-congress. When asked what is the reason Florida adopted such an amendment to its contitution he balks and gives cximscs. ami has to admit tinder pressure of questioning, that it ’would not make any difference to the taxpayer in Florida, so far as the amount lie would pay. if the proposed law is not enacted.

But “Uncle” Buck said there was another need and that was the country needs a good pair of cotton socks that would sell for fifteen cents. A sock that would not be so thin that you could read The Enterprise through and one that would last for two days. H's clothiers have informed him that the type of sock wanted by him is not being manufactured any more but in stead 'a sock with a little cotton and a fittle near beer silk is being made, Mr. Meadows says, and we agree with him that since the price of cotton is where it is that it seems pos sible to have a sock of his design and at a reasonable priee.

Anchorage, Alaska. Dec. 28.—0P>— Several new “pay” creeks, skimmed over when mert were seeking a repeti tion of the Dawson days, have been discovered in the season just closed.

Mrs. Lena Kotxin, of Washington, does not believe in refusing a person a "lift” jn her auto when she is out driving. At least, she didn’t up to a few flays ago. Then hmnething hap pened which might explain why she would give a person at least the “once over” before giving him a free ride in the future. Mrs. Kotzin was driving through a suburb of the capital when a man she was about to- pass asked lier to take him in. She took the m,an a distance t f a mile or so, then lie asked to be let off. The woman drove home:.. There she discovered dliat her passenger had taken her purse. She had left It on the- seat of the car while driving and the passenger had evidently “bor rowed'’ it without thinking to men tion the fact’. Such thieves always get caught, sooner or later.

SYNOPSIS Aunt Celimena, searching for Ahr niece, Connemara Moore, finds hersglf —not Connie—aboard a mysterious motorboat in Long Island Sound. Young David Lacy, thinking fie is in Connemara’s company, discusses svseet !y, but becomes more abrupt vsheu he discovers his mistake. Connemara teas to have announced her engagement to night, but disappeared from auntie’s Connecticut home. And vohist a night of adventure it has been.' CHAPTER Xll—Continued “An’ you fool enough to still tty to run for ijt,” he said in frank dis gust. “You ain’t neper been much loaded up 1 with brains, Swede, an' ’hat’s certain. O’ course,” he added placaringly, “if you’d bumped off the Scotchman, that’d been different again. But with him loose, an’ all this crew on board, we ain't going outside on no run tonight. Not usl You cSIi Doc in on this. He’s got a bean on him. He’ll bffck me up.” The Swede appeared reluctant, but somewhat impressed by ' this logic. “Well-11,” he muttered, doubtfully. “You want to head back to the usual place, then, an’ lay low till tomorrer night. That it?” “You’re right, that’s it,” Pooch said* with decision, “an’ damn quick, too.” CHAPTER XIII JU By Wallace Irwin Connemara could swim; she’d -learned when she was four years old ILLUSTRATION “Home, Bugle, let’s go home!” and practiced every summer. While she had never reached the cup win ning, , near professional class, she handfed herself in the water with such ease that “amphibious” was employed in her praising almost as often as “delicious” when in a very simple one-piece bathing suit she played in the Sound like a goldfish; a goldfish in a costly aquarium with castles and bridges and orchids, or even, to some observers, like an an gel fish in «te coral caverns of the southern seas. - But swimming in the dark in a tightish dress and high-heeled slip pers are two different things. In stead of serving her as propellers, her legs seemed to be excess bag gage. “I don’t know where we’re going, but I’m on my way too,” she said recklessly to McTish, when, after making a long, deep dive following his, she Sped through the water and came up near him. “Don’t talk,” he returned curtly, “and swim as quietly as you can.” It was very dark, and it was get ting rough. McTish was on her right, and when she turned to look for hid) in the darkness, nasty little waves slapped her in the face. Still, she knew he was there, for talk as he might about swimming quietly, he was breathing like a grampus. And she could see a blob, less black —a little—than the nfcht when she turned his way. m It was hard work to swim, imped ed as she was. She stopped swim ming, and, treading water, balancing herself in the waves as a real swim mer can, tried to kick off the silver •Uppers which so hampered her feet. But they were dancing slippers with complicated interlacing straps which, like the -complications they had helped to weave, had first to be unfastened. McTish', she perceived A Real flecd Rain. Cloudbursts are notliing uncommon on the Ncvnila’NUsi'rt and no one seems lo consider them especially de lightful. Not long-ago there was a ckjjldburst on the laud of , Is L.

After the storm hudx©nse*i the owner went out to inspect the damage- Lone.v discovered that the rain had uncovered a vein of mineral near Uis house and he started to dig. At a indistinctly, was going past her.' She gave up ridding herself of the slip pers. They were a nuisance, but she could manage. The dress, however, was another matter and too great a. burden. / “McTish!” she billed. “Wait!” Treading water, she pushed up the belt which Sweetie had knotted so securely round her hips and man aged to wriggle the whole thing off. over her head, and let it go ou the water. “My new dress too,” she sighed. It had been hard to do, And tak en longer than she’d realized. She was getting cold. That McTish would leave her she had not dream ed, but, as in her new freedom she took long, powerful strokes, driving herself somewhere, she realized that he was not there. She was alone, alone in Lonp- Island Sound, in the dark, in the middle of the night. She knew she should have been ter rified, but after the preceding hours any peace, even a black and solitary peace, seemed grateful. She did not feel the cold now, ana swam easily for an hour, wondering with each stroke where it was tak ing her. The shore, she thought vaguely, could not be far ahead. Well, she was in no hurry; the'shore when she reached it—if she did— would be just another problem. No place to go, no food, no clothes, no friends. And after this, anyone with whom she talked would be a friend or a policeman. No more chance acquaintances, please! What a goose she had beenl Mar rying either of them, or both of them for that matter, would have been preferable to this adventure, since it had got wet and dirty and rough and lonesome. It was prob ably the lonesomeness which Con nemara minded most, and next the fruitlessness. She’d lost a home and a sapphire bracelet, probably her reputation, maybe, even yet, her life. And what had she gained? Only experience, and that of dubi ous quality. If she’d had her nerve, she tokl herself, she’d have kept that fifty thousand and let Aunt Celimena’s money go hang. Then she might have married or not as she pleased, or started a shop or a movement, or gone on the-stage or-made candles or batiks. She’s made a m«ss of it any way you took it. Even Mc- Tish had desert’ed her. Or had they jujst lost each other in the night? She felt tired and turned ovel”on her back to rest. Not a start, not a ray of light, and only the sound of water rushing past her ears, and the lap of little waves on her face. Was it very different from this when you died? Didn’t you just see nothing and hear nothing, and feel nothing? She was feeling very lit: tie, oh, very little. But she heard something. A small boat, probably a canoe by the muf fled drip and swish, was coming near her. She heard low voices, on a basso grumble which carried ms finctly. “Come, home, Bugle I That’s a good boy!” And a heavy body splashed into the water. It began to swim. A curious stroke, thought Connemara, who knew all strokes by name. But this one she could not classify. Connemara was as nearly fright ened as she had ever teen. The strange swimmer was coming near er and nearer. What new terror was this night to hold? Whoever it was, was close beside her. She would* float, and avoid any new en counter by attracting no attention. She was very tired, and unless she was sure it wag a friend, she pre ferred to spfend th, test of this night alone. Surely there was not much more of ft. Closer and closer the sound came. She tbok a long stroke, and the gur gling, pulling swimmer was upon her. That collision was a blessed thing, though not with manvor worft an. Wet fur brushed • her shoulder, and the . friend-seeking nose of a dog was thrust into her face. “Nice boy!” she said quickly in,a low voice, and awkwardly caressed him, meanwhile maintaining 4, pre carious balance. The answer was a rumbling pleasant growl. “Dear thing!” she whispered. “Home, Bugle, let’s go home I” I or the first time since she had the hampering peace of her aunt’s house, where living had be come so suddenly and completely complicated with hair and suitors and wills and working girls, Conne’ mara felt she had a friend.
