A REAL FRIEND.

There is one friend who will never
fail you while you have hands to move
and brain to plan. In your drear-
lest hours she will be your sweet ref
uge and in times of prosperity she
will guard you from "the pride which
goeth before a fall" She will bring
you long nights of restful sleep at the
end of your busy days anu when other
friends grow careless or disdainful
she will absorb you more and more.
Her name is Work, and neither the
highest nor the lowest can be happy
for long without her; and after work,
"Zumalweiss" beer to strengthen and
refresh, finishes the perfect day; ad-
vertisement. VIM. Schreiner, Tel. "a.

Ford is Besieged

New York, Jan. 9-President Ford
Of the Ford Motor Car Company, of
Detroit, is a guest of Hotel Belmont
today. He is besieged by hundreds
of jobless men asking for work in his
plant, where a profit sharing scheme
was recently announced. He was also
visited by many business men, to
question him regarding his scheme.
Ford explained: "Our theory is that
the man sweeping floor is worth SIS
for eight hours work. 1t costs him as
much as a floor sweeper to feed his
babies as it does the motor construc-
tor engineer. The distribution of ten
millions profits is not charity. 1t
is simply good logic and common
sense to pay your men living wage.
There will be no ifs attached to our
plan. The men will receive their
share of profits every two weeks"

Martha Washington at all COSTS" de-
tlared Commonwealth Attorney Grand
all Mackey for Alexanted county. eff
he knows the will was stolen-and we
Virginians have proved that it has
been--Mr. Morgan, as a receiver of
stolen property, is no mort entitled
to the historic document than the
thief who stole it.
"Until Mr.. Morgan persisted in his
refusal to return the will to the arch
ives from which it was purloined, the
fight was one between him and the
people Of Fairfax county, to whom the
document belongs, but now it has be-
come statewide question. 1t is Vir-
ginia versus Mr.. Morgan, and Mr..
Morgan will realize that as soon as
the Old Dominion starts her legal ma
chinery to work on the matter"
The Falls church chapter of the

bour, it's regent, in writing to Mr..
Morgan to request the return of the

the Michigan copper strike must

nounced that he would return to

The general impression here, as a
result of recent Investigations, is that
the president has some plan by which
he hopes to end the strike. President

The New Year

Walt Mason: The year is young and
joyousu the year is glad and gay; no
gloomy doubts annoy US, as we jog
on our way. We've shaken all bad
habits, we're righteous as can be, and
so, as blithe as rabbits, we gamboI
in our glee. No more from brimming
flagon We'll blow the creamy foam, no
more, with Alpine jag on, We'll go at
midnight home. The fleshpots are
deserted, we scorn the demijohn, the
jugs with which we flirted are BAN
ished now and gone. We've fired the
old rank briar that caused domestic
strife; we're striving for the higher,
the better nobler life; we've joined
the moral fogies who are In virtue
versed, and shun the long black stog-
les which smell like wienerwurst. No
more to back the ponies our footsteps
will be bent; the bank will get our
moneys and pay us three per cent;
We'll dodge the stale devices that ev-
cry spendthrift knows, and swallow
cherry ices instead of tangletoes. Our
pledges are not shallow, they're found
ed on the rock; and every man a halo
will wear around his block. Now may
the gods who guard us from their
siesta rouse, and brace us and reward
us with strength to keep our vows!
Oh, may our lives be holy while this
glad New Year stays, and may we
never slowly drift back to evil ways!

RETURN WASHINGTON
WILL is DEMAND

Washington, Jan. 9--The news of
J. P. Morgan's refusal to give up the
Martha Washington will is stirring up
the Virginians in Washington as well
as those in the state.
Representative Charles c. Carlin,
who represents the Fairfax district of
Virginia, said today that Virginia
would not only institute civil suits
against Mr.. Morgan to recover the
will, but would charge him with theft.
owe will try to indict him for theft
if he persists in keeping this historic
document, now that he knows that it
was stolen," declared Congressman
Carlin.
"Under the statute man who keeps
in his possession stolen property is a
participant in the crime.
"The people of this state are arous-
ed over this matter. The will is ours,
and we are going to have it restored
to where is belongs"
"Virginia will recover the will Of

Marvels of the Era of Science

New York Press: Has this world
really become so used to the marvellous
that even epochal inventions seem too
commonplace to attract attention?
Thirty years ago about one person in
a hundred knew how to use tele-
phone. Now coherent message has
been transmitted by wireless telephone
from Germany to New Jersey-over
1000 miles of land and sea-and the
event excites hardly more than pass
ing comment. What furore it would
once have created! The wireless tele-
phone, of course, seems to be the log
ical next step beyond the wireless
telegraph, just as the transmission of
vocal sounds over the wire was the
next problem to the transmission of
dots and dashes over it by the Morse
system. That that step was bound to
come we accepted as a matter of
course, nor thought much more about
it in the meantime. AS the wireless
telegraph triumphed, mile by mile,
over distance, we watched its pro-
gress with interest. 1t was a brand
new thing, and it takes a brand-new
thing to startle us. The adaptation
of the same principle to telephony
offered no chance for sensation. And
so the inventors have gone along al
most unnoticed, until suddenly we find
ourselves in possession of new
means of communication almost as
remarkable as the wireless telegraph,
so far as distance that can be covered
is concerned, and great deal more
wonderful in every other respect, and
we are too blase to give it's achieve
ment ever first page notice in the
newspapers.

Club Women Seek
A New Location

The first meeting of the year, for
the Woman's Ten Thousand Club, was
held yesterday afternoon, devoted ex-
clusively to matters of business and
proved to be an interesting as well
as important session.
A resolution presented by Mrs.
Violet Campbell expressed the con-
sensus of opinion of the ladies that
the site of the six lots belonging to
the club on State street is no longer
considered a suitable place on which
to erect a club home, ON account of
business encroachments. Several
more appropriate locations were dis
cussed, and the ways and means COM
mittee, composed of Mrs. r. B. Vaile,
Mrs. Violet Campbell, Mrs. C. E. Par
is, Mrs. Dan V. holland, Mrs. J. w.
Lindsay and Mrs. Virgil McCombs,
were instructed to get option on To-
cation and devise means of financing
the purchase OF same.
In lieu of not having a. regular
reciprocity day and acting on the sug-
gestion of the president, Mrs. w. S.
Fawcett, the members of the Holt
vile Study Club and the Woman's I'M
provement Club of Calexico win be in.
vited to be guests of the club on Janu-
ary %, at which time "Civics," under
the leadership of Mrs. R. B. Vaile,
will be the subject considered, and
DR.. Louise Harvey Clark, of River
side, district chairman of the legis-
lation, will be present and deliver an
address.
On February the members of the
Woman's Club of Imperial and the
Brawley Woman's Club will be guests
of the local organization. Mrs. A. w.
Swanson, first president of the Wo-
mans Ten Thousand Club, will be the
leader. Mrs. F. C. Martin of Beau
mont, district chairman Of "History
and Landmarks" will be here and
present the subject of the afternoon.
Every member of the club feels a
personal pride in the splendid achieve
ment of the few ladies making up a
committee from the club, who in CO.
operation with the business men Of the
city furnished a Christmas dinner at
the home of Mrs. S. H. Embury. Six
ty-six men and six families were
made the happier on this "great"
day. Mrs. r. B. Vaile was at the
head of the committee of ladies, Mr..
Durham, whose idea it was, repre-
senting the business men.

Music and Talk

Walt Mason: We begged that fine
musician, the great Professor Prunes,
to help our souls condition by playing
divers tunes. He didn't wish to do it,
for he was tired and stale; we had to
force him to it by plea and threat and
wall. Then on the keys his fingers
began to travel light! his tunes were
all humdingers, his skill was out of
sight. And faster still and faster his
magic fingers flew; from this and that
old master sweet ecstacy he drew. His
brow began to darken, he sternly
scowled around; he saw we did not
harken to all that burst of sound. Like
sundry bonehead vandals we chartered
in our seats, withdrawing ancient scan-
dals from out their winding sheets;
with lungs of brass and leather we fill
ed the room with yawps; we talked
about the weather, we talked about the
crops. And then the great musician
rose from his padded stool, and said:
"It's not my mission to be your private
fool" He promptly wrecked the shan
ty from roof to cellar stair, and buried
Dad and Auntie beneath a Morris
chair. And when, all bruised and
broken, we crawled out from the
wreck, these words were sadly spok-
en-: at served us right, by heck'
