tunes of war that children must suf-
fer. Why should it be-? Real men
and women hate the individual who
derives pleasure from teasing a child.
1t shows him to be bereft of the
sweetest instinct God implants in the
human heart, the Instinct of appre-
ciating the humin bud that has just
blossomed under the warm breath and
shining smile Of God Himself. How
much more should calm deliberative
humanity detest the government or
form of government or rulers Of gov.
ernment or members of government
who thru war, permit children to
perish thru starvation.
Fathers, Mothers of Colorado, as
you serve your children today; as
they toddle around the table for an
other helping of the meal, imagine
if you can your feelings if you saw,
instead of their CHEEKY, chubby faces,
their faces drawn with hunger or
their last jerkey twitchings as God
took them to His own bosom, because
your country had billions to spend to
kill their "Da Das," but nothing to
keep your children from starving.
Can we be thankful and at the
same time buy bonds, the proceeds
of which will go to starve still more
children Or will we send our mites
to help Europe do what war has de-
based her until she will not do-feed
her babyhood.
The two advertisements are before
America today. One to buy bonds to
prolong the war. The other appeal
ing for aid to fedd the babies, which
the war has made hungry. 1t is not
for America to say that King-Kaiser
Gar or Emperor is to blame. Amer
lea knows all are to blame. America
herself is not blameless. Her desire
for riches; her determination to be.
come the financial ruler of the earth
has made her blind to Europe's starv.
ing children.
Today we sit in solemn thought,
we take an invoice of ourselves and
are thankful. Let's close our eyes
and with memory draw two pictures,
The one of the battlefield with all of
its horror while over it peering thru
the clouds of smoke and fire, are the
rulers, who brought it on, and who
see nothing but the glory of fame
and power. The other picture of the
cheerless home--the "Da Da" photo
bordered with crepe-the red cross
official letter that told the tale lying
on the floor-the mother bent for
ward over the table long unused for
serving food, her haggard face bur-
led in her hands-the child, sick,
emaciated, dying of hunger and
knawing at the bone the dead dog
discarded.
Men and women of Colorado, the
two pictures are in reality the two
advertisements. In which will you
invest your funds this Thanksgiving
day?

THE EMBARGO
The Talk of an Embargo


For some months past there has
been sporadic demand that con-
gress prevent the expectation of
foodstuffs. 1t has been obviously
and inevitably reflex Of the rapid
ly rising prices of the necessaries Of
life. Numerous petitions, it is stat
ed have been prepared for presen-
tation to congress, praying that an
embargo be laid. The movement has
been scattered and not very author
itative; but now the subject is given
Importance, tho no great dignity, by
the public announcement Of the
chairman of the appropriations
committee of the house of represen-
tatives. Mr.. Fitzgerald declares not
merely that he favors an embargo,
but that he will introduce and press
vigorously bill to authorize and
enforce it. 1t will soon be time,
therefore, for discussion of the
whole matter.
Concerning one underlying gener-
al principle, there can be little dis
prte. If the selling of food abroad
were to leave the United States bare
and fainished. the duty Of the gov
ei-nment would be plain. It could
not see its own citizens brought

TWO ADVERTISEMENTS
By Alva A. Swain


America returns thanks, today.
This is her day to express her APP
probation to the Creator for his
many blessings. While America is
returning thanks, children in war rid
den Europe are starving. Europe
can spend one hundred million dol
lars a day to kill husbands, fathers
and bread-winners but she can not
spend ten thousand dollars day to
feed the starving childhood The
shame of it all. The curse of it all.
Along side the advertisements in our
daily papers offering war bond is
sues TO raise money to kill the father
hood of Europe are published adver-
tisements from the relief societies of
America, begging for pennies to save
starving European childhood. The
horror of it all. The lust of il all.
King -Emperor-Czar or Kaiser, call
them what you will. Sometime, some
where each and all must answer for
his part in this great vortex of he'll
for power while childhood is the real
human atom that is being crrshed
beneath the heel of Europe's war rid
den giant.

In tuning up a six-cylinder motor
one should be very careful to note
that there is good compression in
each cylinder. In four-cylinder
motor the sound Of the exhaust will
reveal weak cylinder. From the
exhaust of a six-cylinder motor
however, the condition of a partic-
ular cylinder is hard to detect on ac-
count of the strokes tapping. Very
often a weak cylinder is not detected,
and the carburetor adjustment is
changed to eliminate the supposed
thump in the motor. In reality, the

special form of carburetor is neces-

MITCHELL IS NAMED
To PILOT The CUBS
George Stallnss' Famous Aid to Man
age Chicago Player Limit Raised.
fRv INNIs RRowN

New York, Dec. 12-The fact that Fred
Mitchell, aid to Manager George Stall
ings of the Boston Club, will become the
next manager of the Chicago Cubs, and
the announcement that the player limit
for clubs of the league has been raised
from twenty-one to twenty-five men
were the most prominent developments
of the first days session of the National
League meeting which opened at the
Waldorf Hotel today.
Mitchell will lead the Cubs next season
provided the Boston Club and the Cubs
can come to a satisfactory transfer of
his contracts. He announced that he had
conferred with President Charles Weegh-
man. Of the latter club, and come to an
agreement on terms, provided the ex-
change can be arranged.
According to the best information to
be had, Manager Stallings is asking for
Outfelder Leslie Mann and a pitcher.
However, 1t was rumored that Cy Will
liams, another outflelder. was the man
really wanted by the Boston pilot. Jus.
which one of the Cub twirlers is wanted
could LOT be learned.
The move to increase the pl>yer limit
includes a restriction. In making the
maximum number of players twenty
two, the meeting voted to discontinue the
disabled list, which has been in ex-
istence. In other words, the new limit
is to be an iron-bound one. In case of
an injury to a player. he must be either
retained or else released before another
man can be taken on to replace him.
The limit will be applied starting May
Is and continue until August q, instead
of beginning with May 1 as has been the
case heretofore. This will AFFORD an ad-
ditional fifteen days for managers to
size up their material. Before this slight
increase in the limit was made, the
Giants had offered a resolution to in
crease the limit to twenty-five men.
However, only the Cubs and Giants
supported this measure, and 1t was lost.
President Charles Ebbetts offered the
substitute motion which was adopted.
