SEES WORLD PEACE
AS RESULT OF WAR
George H. Shibley. President of Paci-
FIST League, Commends Wilson.

This Christmas II to become memora-
BILE in the fact that peace on earth for
all time is now assured when this war
shall have ended" says George H. shib-
ley. president of the League for World
Peace.
Cannot the experts In government
realize" he asks, that the awful war Of
nations has reached the stage where the
German governments self-interest In the
future has caused It to accept the allies
splendid dsmand that the nations Of earth
shah henceforth substitute law for war
as the determining factor among ma
tions2
such being the case. why not realize
that the allies have won2 Militarism IL
to be banished from the earth. The long
looked for federation Of the world is at
hand, and Christmas, 1916, Is an appro-
pirate time to recognize It.
Thanks to President Wilson the world
Is beng brought to realize 1t. 1t Is wax
ing up. He as a political scientist sees
that the main event for which the va
liant allies are hghting Is probably al
most an accomplished fact. His words
In the note are: Tt may be that peace
is nearer than we know; that the terms
which the belligerents on the one side
and on the other would deem necessary
to insist upon are not so irreconcilable
as some have feared
Tn other words. the Prussian rulers
realize that they cannot become the
dominant power in the world and now In
self-defense for themselves and their
people are declaring for the termination
OF competition in armament and war. ex-
actly as Is being demanded by the al
lies.
The Forthcoming system Is to be the
usual one for a federation, a constitu-
ton marking out the fundamental rights
and duties Of all nations, along with
provision for the establishment of an in
ternational government, probably to be
known as the peace council, to attend to
the peaceful administration of the spe-
cific rights and duties and that as be-
tween the nations of earth their future
development Is to be through mutual
agreement.
That Is the plain meaning of the Ger
man governments repeated declarations
during the past twelve months-that Il
stands for Tasting peace that all Bu-
ropean disputes should be settled peace
fully that Germany is at all times
ready to enter a peace league to restrain
the disturber of peace
How can the statement be moro di-
rect?
President Wilson suggests that botn
sides in the war should give added de-
tails and on all points at stake. The fact
Is that both sides in the war are now
where their self-interest Is compelling
them to insist that in the future there
shah be no more competition in arma-
ment and war.
Realize that and one can then see that
Christmas this year is to become memoir
able in that peace on earth for all time
is assured"

1T Is a birthday event, the birthday OF

King was laid in q manger. Christmas
is the birthday Of One at whose advent
shepherds wondered, wisemen worship

of the Christ.
christmas Is a universal day. It comes
to US not In the name of a race, or sect,
or nation. but in the name Of all the
people Of all the earth. The Christ of
Christmas is the revealer of God, the
Unifler OF the races, the Diffuser Of good
things. In a word, Christmas Is con-
tact with Christ, and contact with Christ
means happiness. We doubt II there Is
real happiness anywhere outside the
range of the light that shines on Christ
mas Eve.

CHRISTMAS SERMON
ON Opened HEAVENS
Rev. ]. Shera Montgomery Tells of the
Prince of Peace.

The Opened Heavens" was the topic
OF the sermon yesterday ct the Cavalry
M E. Church by Rev. ]. Shera Montgom-
cry.
The heavens were opened and out Of
the Fathers mystery and mercy came
Jesus or Nazareth. and like the eye of
child the world was filled with wonder"
said the pastor. He came with divine
riches that earthly wealth cannot buy;
he Is here with a power that earthly
might cannot awe. The heavens were
opened and He Is speaking, not to in
name, but to persuade: He lifts His. holy
hand not to smite. but He raises IT In
holy benediction. He fingers at the door
OF every life to pardon, and about the
neck Of every heart He would hang the
pearl Of Joy. The heavens were opened
and today Mary's child is the divtnest
memory in all the world, for We hear
His voice beating like a gentle wave
upon far-away shores.
''The Prince of Peace is here In the
world today, while sin is in its breast,
dancing like a naked demon, for nigh a
billion Of the worlds hosts are at one
another's throats like a pack Of dogs at
the same bone. Yet the Prince of Peace
Is here and He is to come forth like
pale sun from a slaty sky becoming the
isthmus that is to bind together for time
the old and the new"
anced utterances to the dogs of war are
somewhat slits OF sunshine after days OF
darkness. In the foreglow OF this Christ
mas tide, we should be as full Of loyalty
to the teachings Of Jesus as q running
river Is full OF laughter. For how fitting,
and how much in keeping 1t is for US as
Christian nation to declare. again the
message of the Prince of Peace. May
there not be one false note in our claim
to the word Christian and may there
not be gathered another single glory leaf
to bind to the wreath of our martial
spirit The glory OF our country Is not
closed fortress. but the open door of
the freeman's cottage.
May our country look today In speedy
contemplation on one Of the most sig
nifcant scenes in the history of her great
drama Not upon a brazen sea with
drawn shields, hiding the hearts OF in
vaders and oppressors; may its gaze not
fall upon a forest of plumes waving over
the brows of swarthy warriors. but in
our country's vision may she see waving
palms in Heavens golden sunlight, wait
ing for the gates OF an earthly Jerusalem
to swing open. Another Conqueror is
knocking for entrance, another Sovereign
Is claiming a throne. He stands not bid
ding the vanquished to lick His hand; He
bears no sword in His hand; no legions
are marching at the blast Of bugies; no
chartots are ladened with the spoils OF
war; no weeping captives are In His
train. The grim war clouds are being
chased by the divine radiance Of His
Holy brow and again are seen the re-
ceding skies-His name is the Prince OF
Peace"

SEVENTEEN SILOS
AND MORE BUILDING
Richland Correspondent Insists
On Having Last Word with
Live Wire Editor

Far be it from the mind of the Rich
land correspondent to enter into any
controversy in regard to silos with
Mr.. Live Wire Sparks from Finley.
However, we believe that Richland can
deliver the goods when it comes to
having the most silos and best equip
ped dairy ranches in this part of the
valley, taking into account the short
time in which the ranchers in this Sec
ton have devoted their efforts toward
dairying. It is only within the past
two years that it has dawned upon the
minds of the progressive and thinking
part of our population that the future
OF this project depends upon it's dairy
ing and not upon strawberries or any
other fruit crop. OF course, there is
big money to be made from strawber-
ries, but there are always so many diff
ferent things which may effect this
crop, while cows, hay and corn are
something that can be depended upon
from year to year with little variation.
In Richland we now have seventeen
silos completed, with several more to
be built in the immediate future. All
but seven. of these were constructed
this year. The dairymen who have 81
los on their ranches are F. A. Howes,
William Young, the Abbott ranch, the
Knapp ranch, Walter Holt, Martin
Wienenga, T. ]. Chalcraft, F. A. Frier-
mood, c. G. Harding, Henry Hartung,
James Kaas, L. Dietrich, Geo. Zurcher,
B. 7. Simmons, X. Larson, S. M. Ross,
and A. L. Keller.
In regard to the acreage necessary
to fill the average silo-this varies a
great deal, depending upon the quail
ity of the soil, seed and irrigation. T..
J. Chalcraft and S. M. Ross filled their
silos from between two and two and a
quarter acres Of corn, having a fine
stand. Martin Wienga needed close
to six acres to fill his on account of
the fact that it was a very poor piece
of land which he planted. On an av-
erage about five acres should be a
large area. from which to fill an or
binary silo. With hay at the price it
is at present and with the full know
ledge of the benefits which the herd
will derive from ensilage fed in the
winter time it is no wonder that the
farmers are doing everything they can
to get silo on the farm.

nursery in town. A large greenhouse

ing advantage of this to beautify

aged to get away from him and dis
last Thursday. The sup
position was that some aoto tourists
who had stopped at the ranch just at
the time the dog was last seen, en-
roure to Prosser, had picked the little
fellow up and taken him on with them
to the county seat. The sheriff's Of
fee was notified and every car driv-
ing thru was searched for the dog but
without any luck. However, Monday
a rancher found him about five miles
north of town in the sage brush, so
the Mitchell family is perfectly hap
by again and needless to say will keep
the pup under careful survilance from
now on.

Office Seekers to Address Meeting of
Strawberry Grange October 20
Strawberry Grange announces that
it has again corralled a lively bunch
of Office seekers and will give them a
chance to tell what fine fellows they
are on Saturday, October %. The

cry candidate for Office who has been
written in regard to this matter or
who has been interviewed about it
states that he will be glad to attend
and do his best to convince the popula-
ton of Richland that he is the man
sthey need. As a particular incentive
for every citizen of the district to turn
out, the grange has a positive state
ment from Miles Poindcxter that he
will be here on October %, without
fail and this alone should be enough
to guarantee a record-breaking at
tendance. More facts in regard to
the program will be given in this de-
partment next week.
