1t quite often happens that personals and
other items come to this office Wednesday
after the paper has gone to press, and some
times as late as Thursday. In many cases
they might have been sent in Monday or even
earlier. In order for The Journals for out-of-
town subscribers to get into the Thursday
morning mail it is necessary to go to press
Wednesday afternoon, and the earlier matter
for publication is sent in the better. Last
week we received some out-of-town items
with nothing to indicate what town or section
they came from. That should always be given
and if the date of writ g is added it will often
save much trouble.

Paint and Not

Paint was SO high the last few years that the
market was flooded with trash.
What is trash?
1t looks like paint and pretends to be paint,
but isn't worth painting 1t costs painters
day's-work to put-on gallon of paint, good or
bad; and a painters day's-work is s. or 81.
Add that to the price of gallon. That is the
cost of gallon. Devoe is IS or Sc gallon;
and trash half-dollar less.
But Devoe is all paint and more too; you add
oil to it; a gallon is or quarts of perfect
paint for the painters pot. But trash is three
quarters two-thirds or half paint; you pay
half-dollar less for nobody knows what-it-is
10 gallons Devoe is enough for the average
job; it takes Is to 20 gallons Of trash. And the
wear the same. way Unfortunately, they look
alike when first put-on.

Council of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs approaches widespread
interest centers on Portland, Greg,
where the meeting will be held, begin
ming June 1. The council will bring

women, all eager to get new ideas Off
their respective clubs, and to meet and
brush elbows with the great women of
the United States, who will add to the
! importance of the occasion.
: An election of officers will take place
and that alone will attract many to the
place of meeting. For two terms, Mrs.
Percy V. Pennypacker has been ma
tional president of the Federation of
Women's Clubs, and her term has been
successful and attended with rapid ad-
vancement for women in all lines of

SUGGESTION OF
HISTORIAN GENERAL

The historian general of the D. A. R.
suggests to the individual chapters the
following practical plans whereby the
great movement toward compiling the
nations history may be advanced
through the D. A. R.
Preservation of family Bibles and
traditions, court and church records,
marriage registers, study of old wills,
manuscripts, letters, newspapers;
study of American history, early pub
lications and town histories; retaining
ancient names on streets; marking
trails and forts; historical papers; es-
tablishing chairs of history in col
leges, as is being undertaken by chap
ters for Vanderbilt University; pill
grimage committees. This last would
be delightful feature in this day OF
automobile travel.

WAR DRAMAS
NOT POPULAR
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 24-The "Kommandan-
tur," the Belgian war comedy-drama,
based on the German occupation of
Brussels, after a successful debut in
London made doubtful success IN
Paris and has now been condemned TO
an early withdrawal by the prefect of
police. 1t is the appearance of Ger
man uniforms on the stage that consti-
tutes the principal French objection to
the piece. The critics find another in
the attempt to mix comedy and drama
A revival of the piece is promised af-
ter the war.
La Priere dams la Mutt" by Mon
sieur Noziere, is another war drama
in which espionage is the basis of the
plot and which, like the "Kommandan-
tur," ends in violent and tragic justice
to the enemies of Belgium and France.
"Colette Baudoche," taken from the
novel of the same name, by Maurice
Barres, is not a play of the war, but
is timely as showing the conditions in
Lorraine before the war and the con-
f1ict between the native inhabitants and
the German imigres.
All of these pieces have ardent crit
les for the reason that eacn of them
treats dangerous subjects and lays
bare the irritations to which France
has been, or still is, subjected. The
only successful theatrical production
since the opening are the traditional
"Revues," in which the poignant is
sacrificed to the simply patriotic, and
in which wit is given full play. Such
is the Revue entitled 1915" by Rip
now having almost as successful a run
at the Palais Royal as had, previously
LES Huns ct Les Autres" at the
Theatre Antoine.
Altogether the brief "war" season
has not been a remarkable success f.
nancially, excepting patriotic benefit
! performances which alone fit the pre-.
vailing sentiment.

GAMBLING HOUSES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 22- Sir Ed Carson
who a year ago as leader of the Ul-
sterites' campaign against home rule
was one Of the most talked-of men in
Eng ard, has started crusade against
gambling bouses, which, he asserts

progress of the British campaign
against Germany

ago Mayor Mitchell showed his luke
warmness on the subject by saying
that he was convinced women did not
need suffrage to bring them into
public life. New York's vote upon the
equal suffrage constitutional amend
ment next fall will be of great sig
nificance to the suffrage issue through
out the country, and friends of the
movement are to be congratulated on
having the support of Mayor Mitchell
added to that of Governor Whitman,
already assured.
Although we have the most demo-
cratic government in the world, we
will not know what real democracy is
so long as half of the people have no
say in the affairs of the nation. Speak
ing at the same meeting where Mayor
Mitchell promised his support to the
equal suffrage movement, Senator
Clapp of Minnesota declared: Viewed
from the standpoint of democracy, the
right of woman to vote is the same
as the right of a man"

bondage to them. He should have
the support of all God-fearing people,
as King Asa had. In proportion as
the idols and their worship would
cease. the repair of the true altar OF
God would progress; and many
would rejoice to present their bodies
as living sacrifice, holy and accept
able to God, in His service. Not by
physical force, nor by cruelty. nor by
literal axes, would these creed idols
be destroyed. but by the presentation
of the Word of the living God. In
proportion as the Bible is rightly un-
derstood the follies of the creeds and
more be appreciated.
True COYenanters. All of Us,
The account of. how the people of
Judah and Benjamin, the most re-
ligious people Of that time bound
themselves with an oath. or covenant,
to God reminds us of a similar re-
ligious movement in Scotland, in
which some of Gods people swore
allegiance TO Him to the best of their
knowledge. and signed the covenant
with their own blood. The day has
come for other covenanters to come
/ forward and enter into a covenant
with God that they will be loyal to
Him and to His Word, and will put
away the creed idols. We have
greater knowledge than had the
covenanters of Scotland; but Chris
tian people need their spirit Of full
conservation 10 God. We have much
more knowledge than had the people
of Judah; but we need their spirit
for destroying idols and entering into
covenant of loyalty to God.
Many forget that in joining any
church. its creed is indorsed publicly;
and that a private denial does not
annul their obligations. Many say,
"We do not believe the creeds: but
they are popular and we will support
them" They do this because to do
otherwise would be to come into con-
fiict with some of the wise and great
and rich who, although they do not
believe the creeds themselves. seem
interested in maintaining them as
shackles upon the masses. Under
these conditions we are not to expect
any reform. nor to think that those
faithful to the Lord will be approved
before men.
We are TO expect. however. that
when Messiah's Kingdom is fully es-
tablished, II will fully overthrow the
entire system of evil which has
bound mankind with shackles of ig.
norance and superstition 10, these
maiy years. and has kept the people
away from God.

And she would pray so soft and low
Until the last Amen.
Then / would kiss her dear old face,
Her blessing / would take;
Oh, l will always love those days
Just for her dear old sake.
She's safely housed from all the

No cares can reach her now;
She wears a robe of spotless white,
A crown upon her brow.

There we will be at home again,
Where all our joys shall last.

But see it all as plain tonight
AS l did long, long ago.

Let it be plain or grand
But the sweetest, memories Of my
