Squabble

Epithets that would tend to
provoke an assault IL they passed
between mere common people,
were hurled back and forth be-
tween Mayor Fawcett and Com
missioner Mills in today's coun-
ell session.
Mills shouted abuse at the ex-
ecutive from his chair at the
council table, and made such q
spectacl of himself by doing so
that he set the entire audience
to laughing.
He accused the mayor of being
a "joy-rider" and a "grandstand
artist" and ended his attack by
shouting out the unusual charge
that the mayor had taken whisky
and wine with him on a "joyride"
of city officials.
The mayor calmly admitted
the charge, and the council broke
up with some of the members
laughing uproariously and the
others flushed and quivering with
anger.
Fawcett had ordered several
city employees OF attend the coun-
ell meeting, and offered verbal
charges that city automobiles
were being used for "joy-rides."
Among the employees who were
forced to attend the meeting
were Pure Food Inspector Mrs.
II. II. Johnson, District Nurse
Miss Donaldena Mcdonald, Quar-
antine Officer Joseph German,
Electric Supt. B. F. Collins,
Chauffeur Thomas Miller

Our Mineral Wealth,

The United States Is not only the
worlds greatest producer Of mineral
wealth, but It possesses by far the
greatest known reserve OF any nation
in most Of the important minerals.
This Is one OF the things that has
made Us great and which Is destined
to make Us far greater as measured by
world standards. In some instances.
such as coal and oil and phosphate
rock and radium ore, the United States
possesses more than all the other
known deposits OF the world, and the
only essential minerals Of the first rank
of which the United States has no
known supply at all commensurate
with its needs are nitrates, potash
salts, tin, nickel and platinum. But as
it stands today no other nation In the
world so nearly approaches absolute
independence In respect to mineral re-
sources. notwithstanding the vast mag
nitude Of our home consumpton.-Re-

thousands OF fires, and rats and mice

The laws OF war have always dis
tinguished sharply between stratagem
and perfdy. 1t Is legitimate strata
gem to send bogus signals and tele-
graph messages and bogus dispatches
or newspapers, to be intercepted by the
enemy; to make use Of the enemy
signals, bugle calls. watchwords and
words Of command or to clothe the
men Of a single unit In the Uniform OF
several units. so that the prisoners and
dead may give the idea Of a large force.
On the other hand, It is perhdy to
take advantage Of the enemy by de-
Hberate lying or deception when there
Is a moral obligation to speak the
truth. 1t would be perhdy, for In
stance, to pretend an armistce when
none had been agreed on, to break a
suspension Of arms by surprise, to vio-
late a safe conduct or any other truce
or agreement. to fire on the enemys
uniform.-LOndon Opinion.
