Lehi F. l. A. held it's regular meet ing Thursday evening by the light of the farm advisors Ford in front of the westinghouse, which was pre-empted by the singing school in charge of Prof Jones, until they discovered that their lamps had no oil. This meeting was very interesting there being more farmers present than any meetings held heretofore. The general subject of Blackleg was discussed and vac cinating demonstration arranged for next Monday afternoon at l D. m. on the ranch of J. J. Huber. Huber vac- cinated all of his cattle about six months ago. but now has a number that were too young to vaccinate at the earlier date. Everybody is specially urged to be present.
 Five new farm improvement associa- tiOns are in process of formation.
 Dynamite used as an ant destroyer is a failure. Recently the farm advisor held a demonstration on the ranch of w Fl. Allen, southeast Of Mesa.

Should there prove to be generous flow, the city will begin planning a pipe line 36 inches in diameter, to carry the water by gravity down the Verde, into the valley or the Salt, and down that on a 300 foot drop to the city. With such a drop,

 Last month the improvements con- sisted of the addition of two more multigraph machines, and better light ing arrangements for night work, and altogether getting ready for the more convenient handling of large quanti- ties of work without the mishandling of the smallest assignment.
 The unusual features of the O'Neil , service lie primarily in the compre- hensiveness of the idea, together with it's large complement of expensive and up-to-dat machinery, and the fact that there is not a single organization, lodge, church, promotion proposition, business or professional man, or pub lie official in the state who cannot, sooner or later, find here a conven- tent service to meet his needs in the conservation of time and money, and the transferring of the supervision of much typewriting and mailing work from the executive officers shoulders to those of the business service com pany thus assuring more efficient re- suits.
 Another enlargement of the business promised for the future is a post graduate school for stenographers, and a round table evening school for office workers,

O'NE|L'S IDEA HELP
 ID BUSINESS MEN

In the basement of the Goodrich block, together with equipped bl lanch in the Hotel Adams lobby, is being conducted one of the most com = plete and largest public stenography, typewriting and multigraphing shops in the entire west, not excepting the Pacific coast cities.
 w. D. O'Neil, the proprietor in an interview with a reporter of The Re publican outlined the history of his business idea, and the aims of it's proprietor furnishes an interesting story for the business people of Ari- Zona.
 O,Neil conceived the idea that many of the up-to-date labor saving ma chimes, such as the multigraph, were too expensive to buy and operate for the averaged sized business concern, and therefore figured that we'll equipped custom shops could be made to pay, if they were installed and handled by experts.
 Experiments were started four years and a half ago in small sub-let space in the basement of the Good rich block, with the result that today O'Neil claims to have the largest and best equipped business service office in the west and one of the most unique of it's kind in the United States.
 O'Neil states that there has never been since the business started in its small space. until recently when It absorbed the entire basement and added the Hotel Adams branch, month when new equipment, new

WE WANT PEACE BUT WITH HONOR
 Thomas R. Marshall.
Vice-President Says Amer jean Citizens Do Not Want Peace at Any Price, and That Preparation is the Best Preventative
Thomas R. Marshall.

"The people of this country want peace with honor" said Vice President
 Thomas R. Marshall yesterday as he gave his reason for advocating prepar- edness American citizens do not want peace at any price but prepara- tion is war preventative. The people expect the president to maintain the right of neutrals and to insist that every nation respect the laws of neu- traIity. We should take steps to be in some sort of shape to meet foreign na- tions if they should take any action Before the nations of the earth are ready and willing to ratify peace they must become as educated and as christianized as the United States ac- cording to the vice president.
 In answer to the question ;how long will the war last?" MT. Marshall
 promptly replied Until some one gets licked. We can never hope for the establishment of permenent peace until
 then. The war must be fought out or
 it will be on again in another ten
 years. I started in to pray for peace
 but now I'm going to let the Lord run
 that-When He thinks they have had
 enough He'll stop.'
 Many years ago when I lived iE In-
 diana" he said reminiscently "Satur-
 day was fight day. That was the time
 disputes were settled, and once let the
 participants be interfered with and it merely meant a continuation of the af- fair they never made friendes until the
 battle ended
 "WhC is going to win? That's none of my business. The speculation of the American people has caused more trouble than they themselves realize They have not paid attention to the presidents request to observe neutral ity. The opinions of this, that and the other person have been telegra phed to the diplomats in Washington and promptly cahled to their nations and rift in international relations has been the result. They think we are divided The Germans believe that all who are not Germans in this country are for the allies. while the allies have just the opposite belief. If that has not directly led to the trouble it has at least made it moro difficult to adjust. As a matter of fact the people of this country are neither for one nor the other but always for the Unitet States What difference Goes II make to us what sort of gov ernment they have across the sea What if they want kings and dukes and belted earls. they'll soon get tieed of them"

Byron is probably the most indiffer-

He is firm, but never does he take to
heart the remarks of the players and
spectators. Never does he brood over
his troubles. In fact, the more the
players and fans are after him the
more he sings.
He drones queer little sing-song
things that he makes up as he goes
along. The tune, according to the
players, always is the same. It's about
the same tune you used to use when
you were a kid and sang "Johnny's

Is the American Indian passing out
of the big leagues? Is the red man
becoming extinct in high-class base
ball, even as on the prairies, where
he once roved supreme?
Take a census of the Indians now
in fast company; then think how
numerous the redskins were a few
short years ago, and what a craze
there was for Indian ballplayers.
Slowly but surely the Indian is 60
ing out, and unless new aborigines
come into the big leagues, few
more seasons will know the Indian
ballplayer as a memory and nothing
more.
