WHO HAS KEPT US

OUT OF WAR?
President Wilson has credit for
having kept us out of war;" Win
someone please tell what Mr.. Wilson
might have done, more than he has
done, toward involving US in war?
What reason could he have for declar-
war ON any foreign power? What
reason has any foreign power for de-
claring war on US? Has any such
threat been extended toward the Uni
ted States, and if so, by whom? Euro
pean countries have trouble enough
at home. Moreover, Congress has
something to say about declaring war.
If Holland, and Sweden, and Nor
way, and Denwark, and Switzerland,
and Spain, in close proximity to the
zone Of hostilities, have kept out Of
war, why should not the United States,
thousands of miles distant from tho
vortex, keep out Of war? Or has
President Wilson likewise kept Spain,
and Switzerland, and Denwark, and
Norway, and Sweden, and Holland out
of war?
Now, what has President Wilson
done toward not keeping out war?
He has tabled and ignored Japan's
request for settlement Of the Cali
fornia land question. The fire still
smolders; an aggravating smudge.
He has purposelessly invaded Mex
leo on three different occasions, and is
no nearer the end of the road.
He has sent armed forces into the
West Indies, and threatens interven-
tion in the little island republics.
He has sent ultimatums to Ger.
many, intending to leave but one
course open; but he has been outgen-
eraled, automatically, by Berlin's
foreign Office.
There is just one reason why We
are at peace with Germany, and that
is because Germany does not want
war, at this time, with the United
States. Mr.. Wilson threw down tn,
gauntlet. Kaiser William would mo-
pick it up.
i Cool and candid analysis of tn
facts proves that we are out of wa
not because of the President but i,
lspite of him.-Santa Barbara Press

AT THE CHURCHES
TRUE CHURCH OF GOD

On account of the busy revival sea-
son, the debate that was to have been
held at the club house between the
ministers of Kennewick, has been
postponed to a more favorable time,
when all the ministers will be enabled
to take part.
All the ministers of Kennewick, re-
CARELESS of your denomination, are
earnestly requested to notify Elder S.
S. Kilmer or Elder F. L. Harsh as to
a date near which you may be free to
discuss the subject.
This will permit of meeting OF
those concerned in which further ar
engagements and adjustments may be
made. The decisions then made will
be made public in the Kennewick pa
per.
The subject under discussion IS:
"Do or do not God and the Bible en-
dorse denominationalism?" What is
the truth? Defend it.

CHERRY GROWERS, ATTENTION

In California, they are growing two
cherries, one the Burbank and the
other the Abundance. These two var
ieties are very early and are said to
be very fine, prolific bearers, etc. That
part Of it however, will have to be ia
ken for what it is worth. My sug-
gestion is that you procure thru your
nursery, Of wherever you see fit, one
or two trees of each of these varieties
and set them out. When you cut the
tops back, as you usually do; when set
ting trees, take these buds and bud
them in to some other trees. 1t will
take then, about two years for these
buds to begin to bear, and will give
us some fair, accurate knowledge of
what these cherries will do in this
country.

How TO Make . Pretty 8sdsprsad For
Your Bedroom.

How TO Make Pretty Bedspread For
Your Bedroom.
When a bedroom or small dressing
room is papered with anything but u
plain or neutral paper. bright colored
or lowered chintz should never be
used. but often little color is needed
to add tone to the room.
Select plain white spread OF good
quality and rather heavy.
Cut from chintz a bunch of roses or
a spray of gay colored flowers and
haste one in each corner. with larger
one for the center.
Sew to the spread and finish the raw
edges with fine feather stitch or with
a long and short buttOnhole stitch.
This idea can be carried out for
scarfs to cover the dressing table and
bureau. Make the scarf or linen cut
to 1T the top Of each and finish the
edges with scallop or q hem. and fin
ish this with the stitch that was used
on the spread. Cut out the flowers and
applique to the edges Of the scarf.
Bunches of the same flowers can be
added to the corners Of the white cur
tains with good effect
