OUAKERS WANT
GREAT BRITAIN
To D|SARM
Murray's Pharmacy.
(By Associated Press.l

LONDON, June 24.-At the annual
meeting of the Devonshire House
Quakers, already referred to in these
dispatches as divided on the question
of warfare, one of the chief SPEAKERS,
Mr.. George Benson, spoke against
the growth of ornaments, and said
that the policy of non-resistance
which meant that a nation which was
not armed would not be attacked, was
the safest policy for a nation to
adopt.
"The great danger to England will
great danger of the British army and
the British navy :" he said.
This was more than part of the
audience could passively endure, and
there was a chorus of protesting
'"Ohrs!" But the speaker kept on
bravely
"Once we have abolished che British
army and navy, then for the first time
in the world we shall have a nation
that is safe, a nation which fears
neither foe nor false friend. We can
do it If We wish, and we may know
that in doing SO we are Strengthening
the hands of the pacifcists of the
whole world and weakening the hands
of the War Lords on the Continent.
Non-resistance is neither foolish nor
foolhardy."

If you are victim of any of the numer-

For half a century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by tho
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our Office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM

ence: mo, it's lunacy." The speaker
ignored the interruption:
1T is the possession of armaments
that is booth foolish and foolhardy.
The nation that possesses a powerful
army and navy must be brave, for it is
attracting to itself the animosity and
suspicion of the whole world. There
is one method of safety, and one alone
and that is to see not that we are

that they have no reason to prepare
against us"
At the close of the meeting mem
ber who said he was sixty years old,
asked in vigorous language is young
men in the room had an excuse for
not being in khaki.
The chairman, young man, repli-
ed: Il am glad the question has been
put / have frequently explained why

who does not honor and appreciate
the feelings of those who are wear

must say that, seeing the thing as we
see it, enlistment is absolutely i'm
possible. Even if it were a question
of being compelled, we could not"
The chairman was applauded, but
the questioner came back at him
heatedly, describing him and the
other young men in the room as
"slackers and shirkers.' There was
good deal of noise and a number of
young men rose and tried to protest.
The chairman tried to close the
discussion by remarking. I'VE don't
mind any name that may be applied to

A woman member suggested that
! the United States had never been at
tackled because it had such a small
army and navy, and the chairman en-
dorsed her point of view By remark

if Great Britain had not had an army
and navy, she would never have been
attacked. War" added the chairman,

Our Pastime play house and dance hall have met with such success that we avail ourselves of this opportunity of thanking our patrons, and also to assure them that everything possible is being done to merit the contlnu- ance of the liberal patronage we are receiving.
 Our Billiard Department is nothing more than a public club room for men and young men who know how to conduct them selves as gentlemen. The ob- jectionable features which some times attach themselves to public places have not appeared; if they do they will be eliminated at once.
 Young men and older men who cannot afford to spend an occas- ional dime or quarter playing clean, decent game of billiards are urged to refrain from pat ronizing our place.
 Billiards. Tn the proper envir- onment. are merely innocent games of skill. but should only  be indulged in by those who can devote little of their time and money to thls harmless pleasure.
 A great many yonng men fre- quent our sThe Palace Billiard Hali. If it is known tfisE they are under eighteen years of age their trade is refused.
 We solicit the assistance of Holbrook people in general in maintaining the good name of this amusement house. If there are any parents or guardians who have sons or wards who visit our place. and if they feel they are wasting time or money needed at home, please notify me at once and 1 will see that their patronage is immediately discontinued.

Rsrmuda,. Drinking Water.

The rain catch is a notable incident of the Bermuda landscape. There is no other good water. All that is gained from wells is brackish. So the people either use their white washed roofs as a means to catch rain water or they build big open catch" on the hillside, with a covered cistern at its foot into which the rain, thus collected, runs and is stored. The soil is scraped away from large sur face of the white coral rock that un- derlies all the island. This surface is cemented and whitewashed, and low wall built on three sides with the reservoir or tank at the bottom.

NeUs Notes From County En-
 gineer's Office

Heavy traffic incidental to wool hauling and government freighting is grinding our dry clay roads into deep ruts and dust holes. This cannot be remedied until it rams. Only heavily gravel surfaced roads will withstand the hard pound ing of steel tire loaded to the limit and not then when narrow tires are used. These last cost the county twenty per cent ot the road taxes yearly.
 Over eighty percent of the traffic of the county passes over the mile of road which was gravel surfaced this spring at Holbrook; an examination of this will show it's value.
 Double flooring of the Hol- brook bridge is nearly completed.
 In answer to many inquiries to this office as to the cost of the new steel span across the Little Colorado river at Bolbrook, the steel complete f. o. b. Holbrook cost $1. .560.O0 for the one hun dred and thirty foot span. The cost of it's erection. cost of piers. etc. is in process of compilation and will be published soon.
 Did it ever occur to your mind that the U. s. Government is the heaviest user of our county roads and that the taxpayers of the county pay for this?
 Pneumatic tire travel is highly beneficial to all roads of the kinds we have in this county. For this reason alone touring should be encouraged.
 We need many more bridges both large and small A peti- tion for a bond issue election for this purpose will soon be in cir culation.
