that's absolutely wrong. The United
States has a clean conscience about
the war. We didn't start it. We have

we have taken up the work of caring

road to peace. What more can we do?
We are sorry, of course, for all the

because of the war, but that's no rea-
son why we shouldn't for one day
make the most of our own homes and

MEN PREFER SMALL TOWNS

A great deal is said and written
about the desirability of living in
great cities, but as a matter of fact
there are no such things-simply be-
u men will not live in them. Even
a great city is but a union of communi-
ties like this. London, the largest city
in the world, grew out of a collection
of villages hat still retain much of
their old identities. Investigate Chica-
go or New York or any other great
city and you will find that, while men
will huddle within a small area for
purposes of business, they insist on
getting out into the suburbs or into
independent residential sections for
the purpose of living.
Now, living is the most important
business that a man has to do. He
picks out a place for it with the same
care that he picks out a location for a
factory, a store or an Office; and, when
ever 1t is possible for him to pick out
the place that he likes the best, he
picks out a small town, unless he is
one Of those foolish persons who think
that joy is to be found in a carabet and
pleasure in a crowd. II the normal
man cannot take up his residence in
a small community, that is his dream
of the future.
Certainly those of us whose lines are
cast in smaller towns therefore ought
to congratulate ourselves. We have
here n of the best towns in the
world, at least in the making. We
don't have to nov to a metropolis to
be happy. II u tastes and u desires
are normal. We can make ourselves
happy and the whole town happy by
trying to make this not a big town so
much AZ q good one.

Ford's Theatre closed as an amuse-
ment house the night Lincoln was
shot. The government acquired the
building, and used it for various Of
flee purposes. On June 9, 1898 it be-
came the scene of a second tragedy.
Between 400 and 500 clerks were at
work, when suddenly the three floors
dropped, and this great mass of hui
mainly was pitched into the basement.
Twenty-one were killed, and many
injured. Mr.. A. G.. Yount and
Mr.. L. A. Rosafy escaped death, and
both carry scars as evidence of their
injuries. This occurrence was due to
insecure supports being supplied by
contractors who we're rearranging the
floors and interior of the structure.
Ford's Theatre is an institution of
the nation. It's outer walls afford the
view that satisfies the tourist and the
sighseer who takes a running look at
things as he passes. There is no
danger that it will be torn down or
changed for a great many years, and
meanwhile it will continue to serve as
a habitation for government business,

WHEN YOUR AUTO skIDs

Were you ever in an auto when 1t

had such a sensation. You feel as II
the world had lost its balance and
you were the victim of the universal
chaos. Like Dolly Warden, you might
explain: "Tm a-whirling! I'm a-whirl-
ing! There is something the matter
with me inside" You give up entirely
have to-and await your impend-
ing doom. You imagine you are a man
Of nerve. Try a skid and you will be
certain to think that something is the
matter with the inside of 1t. The law
of gravitation remains intact, but you
are not in it. You are outside the law
when you skid-you feel as IL you be-

mas day. The mere marking of times
and seasons, when men agree to stop
work and make merry together, is a
wise and wholesome custom. 1t helps
n to feel the supremacy of the com.

minds a man to set his own little

But there is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas day and that
is keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people, and to re-
member what other people have done
for you; to ignore what the world
owes you, and to think what you owe
the world; to put your rights in
the background, and your duties in
the middle distance and your chances
to do a little more than your duty in
the foreground; to see that your fell
low-men are just as real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces to

that probably the only good reason for
