by, with the words ringing in their
be forever" gallantly promise that
they will sit down most every night
and write them how they are getting
along and just all that happens Of any
interest. Among the many, whom the
cars \. hirl rapidly away, there is usual
~ one who is taking his chances of
betterment, which he expects to find at
the end of his journey. He looks va
cantly, yet wistfully, out at the unfa-
miliar scenes, SO different from his
own surroundings. Try as he does, he
finds it impossible to fight off the
downcasting shadows that loom up
before him.
Strangers are kinder than ones own
thoughts sometimes. Chance throws
many people together, some of whom
prove to be valuable aids when the
turning point of ones life is reached.
Somehow, the wanderer sees an honest
light in the eyes of the blunt man
who shares his seat with him on the
fast-bound express. They chat not like
strangers, but as friendly acquaint-
ances whose natures are worthy and
easily read.
The young man tells his brief story.
He says he has never gone so far
away from home before and tells of his
earnest intention to pave his way
alone. Mems hearts, in many in
stances, open out to those whom they
can read like book and find truthful
Ere the journey is over, the young
man has received good, sound advice,
which is worth kings ransom to him
as he goes along, the rough places he
must climb, the temptations he must
face. In the turmoil of his busy days
and tiresome nights, he feels able to
write only a few lines back to the old
folk and dear little brothers and sis
tiers, now and then. But his idle mo-
ments are ever dwelling on them as he
pictures the old familiar scenes, the
home, friends, he has left. e..
It viii be many a day, months and
years ere they clasp their arms about
one another, he realizes. At last, comes
the wedding announcement of his fa-
vorite sister. She sends him warm,
loving letter, inclosiug her intended's
picture. Her last lines are that he is
welcome home and that his mother,
who is failing, hopes daily that her
wandering boy will soon come home,
if only for little while.
He packs up his belongings, quicker
than it takes to tell and speeding back
with a light heart, forgetful Of his
trials and inconsistencies, he shouts his
own welcome home as he rushes
across the threshold, smiles amid his
tears and is at his best in the bosom
of his family and old home.

IF HE'S WELCOME AT HOME.

Some find work where some find rest
And so the weary world moves on.
I sometimes wonder what is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake
And so the weary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts
break.
/ often wonder why it's so.
This world is full Of bright, anxious,
striving young men who have vowed
that nothing can tempt them to burden
parents when they are old enough to
leave the home roof, and support them
selves. 1t is hard to get footing for
lust the right kind of a start. But
the youth who is seeking for an honest
opportunity, who has left father and
mother hundreds of miles away to go
forth among strangers and exc out his
present and future perhaps, soon
learns by bitter experience that it is of
no use, to be particular or to harp up
on how he was raised; how much he
knows

eve of bidding their loved ones good

HOW LONG DOES LOVE LAST?


Fen in the happiest choice, where
fav'ring heaven
Has equal love and easy fortune given.
Think not, the husband gained, that all
is done;
The prize of happiness must still be won.
Oft the careless find it to their cost.
There are people, and supposedly
people of good sense at that, who be-
lieve that love is a plant, which is in
destructible; that you can slight it or
nurture it, fondle or abuse it, but moth
ing can alter or kill it.
There never was a greater mistake.
Love is only strong as it is fed and
coddled. 1t can be made to grow wings
or it can be hoofed or horned, accord
ing to the atmosphere in which it
lives. There never was a daintier
plant than love. 1t is like the down
on the harebell. One rude jar may
scatter it to the four winds of the
earth. Love depends upon kindness,
sympathy and appreciation. 1t is i'm
possible for the wife to keep on low
ing the husband who is rude in words,
brutal in action, tantalizing, stingy.
Disgust for the husband who makes
a household drudge and slave of her
can in time kill the most devoted love
in the heart of wife.
Nor can a husbands love, no mat
ter how strong it may be, endure the
constant nagging Of a wife or her
fretting and tuning, without his af-
lection for her whitening soon or late.
With a rightly-mated pair, true love
for each other would endure for all
time. With other couples it would be
like the poppy-blCom today and With
er tomorrow.
Affection lasts only as long as the
two are deeply interested in each 9TH
er. When either begins to weary Of
the society of the other, it is the fore
runner of loves decay. How long it
will last after this sets in is matter
of endurance. Very often loving
word from the lips of either would
turn the tide. 1t is unfortunate that
those who have loved truly are often
too proud to make the first overtures.
It is not beneath a wife's dignity to
make the first advances. She should
not forget how sweet and gentle she
was to him in the days of their court
ship. Even a man who is Indifferent
to q wife cannot help having a kind
Iier regard for her if, after a morn
ing's row, he returns home, expecting
to renew the wordy battle and in
stead is met by her with outstretched
hands, a smile on her lips and the
murmured words: Il am going to for
get that we have had an unpleasant
ness, dear. Let's begin our loving all
over again." A man would have to
have a heart of adamant to refuse
such a plea.
The outstretched hands of husband
and wife coul easily bridge over the
chasm so wide and so deep that no
human power can span it from one
heart to the other Love lasts only as
long as hearts are kind, true and af-
fectionate. Lovers should make the
compact ere stepping to the altar
that. after wedlock, the sun should
never set on them, finding them in an
ger with each other. AS the years
pass. they will cling closer to each
other. 1t rests solely with each couple
who plight their troth how long their
love will last.

attend some jolly affair every evening
Of the week Sunday excepted), dane
ing far into the wee sma' hours, and
up with the sun the following morn
ing, bright as dollar, and fresh as
daisy, and that it is sheer nonsense
to believe continuous rounds of gay
ETY. told on girls health or looks?
Turning night into day can be kept
up but certain length of time. The
pretty daughter of wealth need not
know when the sun rises; it is not
reminder to her that time is passing.
She can sleep well into the MONDAY,
wooing the roses in her cheeks to stay
by her.
But what the heiress may do with
out dlsmay is positive harm to the
pretty shopgirI who has nothing but
her energy, health and youth to bank
on. No matter how youthful and seem
ingly tireless she may imagine her
self to be, the nightly pursuit of
pleasure will all too soon demand Of
her it's toll.
The proverbial forty winks of sleep
each night may suffice for a little
while, but nature will soon rebel.
When the sun throws its first beam
OF golden light into her room, a sigh
instead of laugh will soon break
from her lips and she will wish from
the depths Of her heart that she could
sleep just a little longer-only five
minutes more would be boon.
But there's just so much time to
dress, swallow her coffee and rolls and
get to her place of business. Time
viii not loiter for her convenience. She
gets up tired. The gay life slowly but
surely makes inroads on her health,

To Uphold Arbitration

CHICAGO, August 24.-The Illinois Manufacturers association today called conference of similar organizations from many states to meet in Chicago August 29. to uphold the principle of arbitration and to secure united action on the part of industries with refer ence to the controversy between rail- roads and their trainmen."
 Telegrams stating the purpose or the conference were sent to the Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Michi- gan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts State Manufactur- ers' organizations, the Minneapolis em- ployers' association and numbers of large individual manufacturers in all the middle west.
 The Chicago Association of Com merce sent lengthy telegram to President Wilson tonight urging that the. association be permitted to pre- sent it's views to him before he acts further in the pending railroad con- troyersy
 The railroad presidents are under stood not to be insistent upon the commission idea for the settlement of future disputes, and the main diff culty has been the working out of operating plans under an eight hour day and of giving assurances to the presidents and managers that they can count upon a freight rate increase. Presidents and managers agree that
Arizona republican., 1916-08-25

the operating problem presented is one of the most complicated they have ever undertaken. There seems to be a general opinion that the eight-hour day must be granted, but roads which now are operating only on a narrow margin of profit or on which the phys ical differences are unusual, present serious problems to be overcome.
 The effort has been to include in the eight hour day concessions solution or some other questions, such as overtime pay, etc, which might make it less ex- pensive to the railroads. There were reports tonight that some of the ex- ecutives still are unalterably opposed to granting the eight-hour day under any circumstances. and might attempt to- morrow to force a decision which would bring the negotiations to an end, one way or anotner.
 It has become kn,.Gn that in their conferences with President Wilson, the executives pointed out that since it was his view that the eight hour day is approved by society, apparently it eventually must be extended to other railroad employees and to those in other lines of endeavor. An estimate of the ultimate cost was given the president
 President Wilson is said to have ldhen tne bpSItion ludl the ITelSnl rate increase will be forthcoming because the weight of public opinion will back the eighthou day, and will also back any plan to give the railroads the rev. enue to provide for the added expense
 Statements were issued tonight by

BERLIN, Aug. 24 (Via London, Aug 25)-From all parts of Germany, Austria Hungary. Bulgaria and Turk ev messages of congratulation are arriving for Captain Koenig and the crew of the Deutschland One came from the Hungarian lower chamber to the German reichstag.
 Count von Reventlow, in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung is almost alone in taking a pessimistic view of the entire affiar. He calls attention to the fact that ever estimating the value of the merchant submarine Is detrimental to German national in- terests. The general comment how ever is confined to keep apprecia- ton of the daring displayed in build ing and navigating the submarine.
 Captain Koenig and his crew on Friday at Bremen will be giveV on official reception which will be at tended by many high government of ficials.
 Most of the buildings here are decked with flags in celebration of the return of the merchant submarine Deutschland. The newspapers give the exploit of Captain Koenig the prominent place on their editorial comments and discuss the possibility of the empire getting certain much needed materials through merchant submarines. Captain K0cuig and his crew have been feted as heroes. The press gives liberal praise to the fair and neutral conduct or the United States government. The Col peue Gazette says:

 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug 24.-Thomas Gwillim, prominent ranchman of Falcon, thirty miles east of here, and Mrs. Mary E. Simmons, his housekeeper, were found dead with bullet holes in their heads today, ac- cording to a telephone message re- ceived at the sheriffs office Details are lacking, but conditions surround ing the bodies are said to point to mur- der and suicide.
 Viva, the lS-year-o daughter of Mrs. Simmons returned to the house from the village shortly after the shooting. She found her mother dead and Gwillim apparently lifeless in the same room. The girl jumped on a horse and rode five miles to the near est neighbOr for assistance. When the sheriff and coroner reached the house Gwillim's body could not be found. It was later discovered, when the door of closet was opened. A jug of whisky lay in the dead mans lap. Sheriff Birdsall expresses the belief that Gwillim killed the woman with a shot gun and then turned the weapon on himself. The charge missed and went into the ceiling. The ranchman. it is supposed, then seized a rifle, the sec ond bullet from which struck him under the chin No motive for the crime has been learned

 After reviewing the developments of Mexican unrest. which he pointx out began to manifest itself long before Woodrow Wilson became president, MT Baker continued:
 President Taft declined to recog- nize the dissolute monster Huerta); Secretary of State Knox withheld the approval of the United States from that sort of treachery President Will son withheld recognition from Huerta, and the long and troubled course of our dealing with Mexico has been, in part, at least, because both President Taft and President Wilson believed that nation loving justice, as 1 hope We love it, could not extend it's favor to this medieval despot, cast up with all of his villainies upon his head as ! flotsam by the waters of a revolution otherwise hopeful and pure as to it's l object"
 MT. Baker expressed the hope that American soldiers on the border may
 not be required to fire another shot.
 but that their ultimate victory and the
 restoration of peace and contentment and prosperity in northern Mexico may ] come as the climax to a series of
