babies into the world and nurse them
and love them and raise them to fine
young manhood in order that they
may be targets for cannon-the meat
of bullets-the prey of pestilence-
torn and mutilated flesh in battles
they wage at some one else's bid
ding?
Mothers! Won't you do your part
to stop all future carnage and all
bloodshed on the wholesale?
Don't buy your boys toy imple-
ments of warfare. Don't teach them
war songs. Instead, plant the lovely
sentiments of peace in their hearts.
Teach them that you have not given
them life to let them throw it away
in battle.
In every vaudeville house when 81
Didn't Raise My Boy to Be Soldier"
is sung, the audience throbs with the
most beautiful sentiment in the world
mother love is in the air-and in
surging blood every one who hears
pledges the cause of peace.
War robs women of everything
and does not give her even glory or
place in history in return. And
shall women sit idly by and do moth
ing to hasten the glorious day OF
universal peace?
Mol Woman must sing to her chill
dren and teach them to sing to the
generation yet to come the songs OF
peace. In the melody of song, there
is a woman's way to peace. All you
mothers whose boys are safe at home
make sure that they will be allowed
to stay there. Teach them to sing,
81 Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Sol
dier'-teach them to understand it,
and to feel its fine sentiment. Teach
them what it means to you.
The melody will enchant you and
the splendid thought will inspire you.
Sing the song of peace and progress
the song of civilization. Let song
bring in the rise of new dawn that
shall mean perpetual peace.
In the words of Victor Hugo: "Let
US dishonor war it is not good
to make corpses." Let us sing for
peace-and life our voices to proclaim
81 didn't raise my boy to be sol
der"

i. c. Gilbert Home From
Expositi0ns.

After very interesting trip of six
weeks duration, F. c. Gilbert, man.
ager of the Durango smelter, return
ed home last night. He and his fam
lily left here the latter part of Janu-
AIRY, California being their destina-
ton. En- route they spent few days
IN Arizona visiting the Grand Can
yon. Early February found them in
Riverside, Cal, guests at the Mission
Inn, one of the most noted resorts
in the state. Later they journeyed
t, San Diego and attended the ex-
position. They found this wonderful
in two of its features, horticulture
dnd landscape gardening. The exhib-
its were not extensive but of very
high class and well placed. Here, as
in other parts of the state, it rained
at least every other day, but of course
The residents assumed them that was
very unusual" While in the city
they had the pleasure of meeting sew
eral Durango people, including Mrs.
X. A. Gagg and Rudolph, Mrs. f. C.
Perkins and her sister, Mrs. Miller.
In Los Angeles they spent day or
two with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Schultz
in their cozy home at Hollywood Mr..
Schultz is night cashier of the He'll
man bank. They are contented and
prosperous in their new location.
While in Berkeley they met Mrs. John
Haggart and Mrs. +. S. Balster and
Dorothea. who are delighted with
their surroundings. Dorothea is in
college and very happy and success
full in her work. With them they WIS.,
tied the famous Greek theater. The
San Francisco exposition they found
was not quite completed when opened
1t is constructed on very extensive
scale, the buildings are exceedingly
artistic and the harmonious blending
of colors most pleasing, but the ex-
hibits were not fully placed. Among
those completed Canada easily ranks
first, showing the benefits Of pcrma-
nent exposition bureau. Santa Bar
bara, where mountains meet the sea,
proved very interesting spot to
them and it is there Mrs. Gilbert and
Clifton will tarry for several weeks
Or months as inclination dictates.
