UNDER HARVEST MOON

Last year the harvest moon looked
 down
 On bounteous fields of grain. A peaceful scene where lovers strolled Along the shady lane. In hapry homes the mothers sang Their evening lullaby. And little children had no fear Of danger lurking nigh. Put now the demon war is loosed And terrors fill the night, The dangers of the burning home, The dangers of the flight. Mothers and children hide and wait, They listen fear and pray, While shells are bursting all around And armies pass their way. Tonight upon the harvest field The moon is shining bright, .. Where soldier forms lie mute and
 still
 With faces ghasty white. Oh. what a reaping. Oh, what loss. The flowers of earth cut down The voice of mourning in the field And by the ruined town!

After being run two days in Phoenix, the pictures will be sent out over the state.

Judge R. E. Sloan, addressed the high school club last evening at the Y. NJ. C. A. on the opportunities for young man in the legal profession" About forty boys from the Phoenix high were present and keenly enjoyed the schol- arly address of Judge Sloan.
 Commenting on the room that there always is at the top for the masters of the profession, Judge Sloan said that the average lawyer has no better standing in the community at this day and time than the average grocer The qualities that are needed for a success fuI lawyer are: natural aptitude, an analytical mind. and ability to draw sound conclusions, mental energy. per sistence, concentration. mental pa tience. power of persuasion and a power to express ones self. Coupled with this must be a willingness to go through the starvation period of four or five years, during which time the study of the law must be persistent. insistent and consistent
 The club has plans for addresses from members of the various profess sions throughout the winter Judge Sloan's address was the subject of much enthusiastic comment by those who were fortunate enough to hear it.

Flanders is at present considered fairly safe from the German attacks which, when they do materialize it is believed here will be directed more at the French center The Russians at last have admitted the occupation of Lodz by the Germans. but in statement say they evacuated the city fifteen hours before the German occupation and that they changed positions without the loss of q single man. It is apparent from the various official reports that there are converging German move ments on Warsaw from the north and center, combined with outflanking movements to southeast of Cracaw. The success of any of these movements would require the Russians to turn back from Cracow which they have not done thus far.

of the black taffeta. The skirt was
draped up a wee bit at tho back to

gloves of very pale tan silk, embroid

Just at the age when ears and tenn

Exaggerated loop OF hair extending
forward over the cheek, but all women
may arrange the side locks softly and
becominsly over the ears. If there
Iare any struggling wisps of hair not
Hong enough to wave softly back they
should be kept curled. or at least
"fuffed up" This flutflrg Is done by
catching the end of the wfsp between
