Our Friends.
H. D. c..

Paper read before the Chda,td1Qud CircIe:
l have not chosen this subject because l
think know more about it than you or be-
cause have more or less friends than you,
but lately have been trying to find out
Just what the word means and then if pos
sible take an inventory of the stock of
friends / now have, and I believe if you
will do the same you will be surprised to
find out that you have practically no
friends of the right kind.
Webster defines friend as zone attach
ed to another by esteem, respect and
affection, we'll wisher, and an intimate
associate. To men placed as we are few
of us have friends that think of us with re-
spect, esteem or affection and the reason
is veryobvious-we did not have the right
kind of friends Our friends were fair
weather friends, those who pledged their
friendship when we were successful and
popular but whose friendship could not
stand adversely, sorrow or disgrace. Try
now and imagine any one of. your past
friends who would acknowledge you now
Before the world as his friend-I mean now
in your present trouble and misfortune.
They would be more apt to deny any such
friendship with the statement that you were
chance acquaintance or they just hap
pened to know you.
| We use the word too carelessly and give
all our acquaintance the almost sacred
title of 'tfriend.'' Cicero defines friend
ship Gas the only thing on the importance
of which mankind are agreed, and Addi-
son explains it as ga strong habitual in
clination in two persons to promote the
good and happiness in each other.
There is no doubt but that friendship is
one of the most necessary and important
of life's relationships and while we arr
taught to think we'll of all men we may
define our friend as one who stands next
lin all that makes life worth living. Ths
dearest thing in this world is true, loya
friend. One who understands US, believe
in us and trusts us at all times; or in word
of the proverb ga friend is one who know
!. all about you and still sticks Money
can buy everything else, and the world
at your command, and yet without sin

meath it all they have dislike for us.
The Cuban, like the Mexican is jealous
of our ability to make money. They hate
to see the best things in their country
slipping into the Yankees hands. 1t is
easy enough for us to understand why the
Mexican dislikes us, but it is hard to see
why the Cuban does. Besides the United
States has done great deal for Cuba and
the Cubans should be grateful. But there
lis no reason why any Latin-American
should dislike us for we have never done
them single wrong. Indeed our govern
ment has always tried to promote feeling
of friendship and sympathy and but for
the interference of European meddlers our
influence would be paramount in all parts
of South America.
1t was October when l again passed
Sandy Hook and saw the skyline of
Little Old New York come into view. If
a natural feeling of sadness comes to us as
we leave our native land, it is equally true
that spirit of exultation possesses us as we
once more come under the folds of the
Stars and Stripes. The statue of Liberty
means something real to us as we pass by
its welcoming hand and everything looks
good to us, as we feel that we are home
again.
The customs house officers came aboard
off quarantine and handed each passenger
a paper on which to list his dutiable art
icles; also the port physician might place
a thermometer in your mouth as test for
fever. But no true American should OBJ
ject to the performance of duties imposed
on the customs or health officers even il
they do seem unnecessarily strict. II
means efficiency and that is what the
United States of America stands for.
In closing, cannot refrain from men,
tioning the splendid opportunities open to
enterprising Americans possessing capital
that present themselves in hundreds o
ways in all parts of South America. Oul
| Spanish cousins are clever, bril-
liant, hospitable and enterprising, ane
their pleasant ways make them ideal per
sons with whom to do business.

autumns. There was one instance Of
six consecutive warm seasons. More
than three-Quarters Of the periods Of
unusual weather occurred between the
middle Of autumn and the end Of
spring. Many times during the eight.
eenth century the same apparent anon
allies recurred at the same seasons In
several successive years. In every case
the seasons regained their normal char
tcteristics.
There have always been persons who
Imagined that the seasons were becom-

YUMA'S BUSINESS Is
 ON A VERY FIRM BASIS
(From Tuesdays Examiner

Yuma county is larger. in area than six New England states and the farm ing territory is scracely scratched.
 Thirty million people could live in Yuma county and the section would not be overcrowded.
 A glance at the advertising in to- days Examiner will satisfy anyone that Yuma does not need more busi- ness firms at this period to increase the prosperity. In anticipation of the large influx farmers which will come with the completion of the Yuma pro- ject, the business portion of Yuma has increased as it should, but the far mers to support this business element have not arrived. Hence the Examin- CTS statement that Yuma needs far urrs is true, and any school boy must realize that this condition will con tinue until Uncle Sam completes hla contract with the people,
 An abnormal condition of business now prevails, and Yuma's commercial interests must take an Optomistic view of the situation until the dawn of a new day which is destined to soon be ours.

CHRISTMAS TURKEY
 WILL RE A RABBIT

PENDLETON, Ore, Dec. 23-Many poor families of Oregon and other parts of the Northwest will feast on rabbit done in various styles on Christ mas days, because they feel the pres sure of the high cost of living and can not afford turkey and Christmas pres ents for the youngsters, too. The best feature of it is that the rabbits will be furnished free by farmers, who are waging war against the little animals which have destroyed so much Fall Sown wheat.
 The farmers are trying to clear the wheat fields of the pests and have kll- led thousands of rabbits as a result These have been sent to large cities for distribution among the poor.
