WHY NOT SMILE?

Are you angry? Is your lip
cracked? Are you afraid of
wrinkles? Are you suffering
from an ingrowing crouch? None
of them? Then, why cont you
smile? History tells us of men
who trained themselves not to
smile, because they wanted a
stern expression of countenance.
The savages also prided them
selves on not showing any sort
of emotion. Have you noticed
in the photographs, that the
mothers of the war heroes of
Europe are not smiling? Neither
are the generals who are doing
the killing. Only the heroes
themselves are smiling. A hard
and stern expression does not
indicate good heart nor a clear
conscience. A thief seldom
smiles. The woman of t h e
streets smiles with her lips, but
her eyes are hard and cold.
The poverty stricken man on
the street who begs for dime,
sends his plea direct to your
heart if his appeal is accompa-
MED by a smile. Only the fail
ures of life never smile. A
smile is the cry of the sentry of
the soul. -Ex.

affidavits which have been exc

these affidavits reached Phoenix

The affidavits show that for

that all was quiet and orderly in

affidavits, was unable to prevent

SOFT BERTH FOR RUSSIAN
His knowledge Of Japanese Super
fetal, But It Secured Him
Professorship.

The war in Europe and rumOrs Of
war nearer home have given occasion
to Japanese papers to publish some
"reminiscences of the war with Russia.
When peace was concluded between
Japan and Russia the study Of the
Japanese language became something
like a craze among Russians. At Har'
bin, for instance, Japanese we're in
great demand as teachers of theil
mother tongue. Many Japanese bar
bers and laundrymen shut up theil
shops and became instructors of Jap
anese. AS in most cases the instruc
ton was not conducted on a systemat
ic method, many Russian students Of
Japanese only succeeded in acquiring
a smattering Of the language. Some
time ago q Japanese interpreter WIG
taught Japanese to Russian railway
men at Hardin, received a letter from
one Of his whilom pupils asking for q
certificate of his proficiency. AS q
matter of fact, his knowledge of Jap
anese does not extend beyond what
may be called pidgin Japanese, but a
certificate was forwarded to him as
required. A few weeks later the in
terpreter was surprised to receive q
letter from the Russian, informing
him that he had been engaged by the
government as professor of Japanese
1t q monthly salary Of 500 roubles.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Cost Of Hauling Farm Products Over
Common Roads 10 Twenty-Five
Cents q Ton Per Mile.

After careful inquiry it has been
found that the average haul of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station Is IL miles, and the aver
age cost of hauling over the common
country roads is Is cents q ton per
mile, or three dollars a ton for . r.
mile haul. says Portland Oregonian.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 300,000.000 a year. On the
estimate Of three dollars ton for ~
miles this would make the total cost
Of getting the surplus products of the
farm to the local market or to the
railroad no less than 500, 900, 0O0-a
figure greater than the operating ex-
penses Of all the railroads Of the Unit
cd States. II anything could make IN
argument for good wagon roads this
statement surely may.
