WAR ON THE WANE

Europe is tired of war. The fires
of passion have about burned out
There is little doubt that both the
allies and the central powers would
quit tomorrow if they could. Peace
talk is becoming familiar. The truth
Is that Europe cannot afford to pay
the price in men and money much
longer.
SO far Germany has had the best
of it, but it looks like Germany is
being starved into submission.
England has not played a conspicu-
Gus part, so far as fighting is con-
cerned but the war would have been
over months ago if it had not been
for England.
France has played brilliant part,
the French always do this, but France
would have been helpless had it not
been for the silent support of Eng
land.
1t is the English blockade that is at
last beginning to tell. The German
nation must be fed. The German
food supply seems to be growing
short. Soldiers cannot fight on empty
stomachs They must be fed and
substantially fed if work is expected
from them.
The new food regulations indicate
that Germany realizes that it is nee
essary to be frugal with the food sup
ply if the war is to continue.
There is little doubt that the other
nations involved in this pitiless COM
bat are willing to quit, but like bull
dogs they do not exactly know how
to let go Ambition and pride will
be stumbling block. The nations
are not agreed on the terms Of peace
and they will never agree. But when
want and waste are weighed and the
black disaster of Europe is appreci-
ated all concerned will no doubt be
willing to concede something.
In the meantime Russia has made
her re-entrance on this stage of war
and no doubt in the long run Russia
will play the most important part, for
the armed force of Russia is greater

He gathered together all of his
goods and turned everything that he
possessed into cash, and with $4,000
in gold he set sail for Argentina,
After looking over the ground he Of
fered to found with his money a
school for the Indians of Argentina.
But the law Of Argentina did not per-
nit the granting of a deed to any
church or mission not recognized 6y
Roman authority, and his gift could
not be accepted. Disappointed but
more earnest still, he went to Bolivia
where he found the law more favor
able, and where his money was ac-
cepted as an endowment for a Pro
testant educational mission to the
Indians of Bolivia. Thus the Bible
sold to Antonio Shiriatti has founded
4 school which will spread the light Of
he gospel through many years TO
come in the far corners of South Am.

Notice to Generous People.

TheSeXpenses of erecting the tab
ernacle and of conducting the series
of meeting have been somewhat in
excess of the first estimates, and
the committee finds itself about $500
behind. Those who have subscribed
to the expense fund are earnestly
urged to hand in the amounts of
their subscriptions to Fred c. Carr
and all persons who are generous
enough to give to this fund are asked
to do so. We feel that the meeting
has accomplished a great good and
the amount yet to be raised is but a
small sum, and all persons who are
so inclined are asked to hand in a
small sum to meet this requirement.

A MATTER OF MANNERS

If a person rings the front door
bell he is not supposed to ask: "Who
are you?' of the one who answers the
summons. Yet that is practically what
is done when telephone caller
greets the responding Hello" with
"Who is this?" There are many little
annoyances in telephone usage, but
this is perhaps one of the most pro-
voking To be called to the phone
and then asked to establish identity
is calculated to unbalance the equan-
unity, especially of a busy person.
Telephone practice is after all large
ly a matter of manners, notwith-
standing the separation in distance
of the persons who are talking.
Probably the one who asks "Who is
this?" on calling another is mentally
off guard momentarily on hearing a
voice other than that which is eX-
pected, but even so the effect on the
person who is called is unfortunate.
Telephone users should always bear
in mind the fact that it is best to

WINNING AGAINST FATE

To suffer stroke of paralysis at
the age of four, depriyng the use of
both legs and left arm and still be
able, in later years, TO gain an eX-
cellent education by continual home
study with limited number of books:
to become an editor and newspaper
correspondent at 20 to be chosen
mayor of Imboden, Ark, five months
before reaching the age of 21; to
write a successful sociological sub
ject, The Unheard Cry" at 90; to
begin VI brk on the lecture platform
in a wheel chair at 90; and at "a
to become managing editor of a mag
azine for cripples, to become instruct
or of big Detroit public school and
to arouse great nationwide inter
est in the work of adopting an edu-
cational system for the 100000 Grip
pied children of America so as to at
tract the attention of President Will
son and cause him to write a letter
of commentator and encouragement,
are not ordinary accomplishments
but such is the remarkable and in
tensely wonderful life of Joe f. Sui
liyan, 80 Kenilworth avenue, Detroit,
Mich.
Joe Sullivan is an orphan and
self-made man. BY dogged determi-
nation he has lived and studied, work
ed and achieved, and his career even
up to now reads like romance. Pick
ing out wonderful articles with one
finger on typewriter and getting
them before the public in behalf of
neglected American cripples has
caused his name to become an au-
thority on cripple welfare work and
his name to become household
word in thousands of southern and
northern homes.

SYSTEMATIC DEVELOPMENT.

The age of town booms," based on
town lots and extrayagant claims for
the future has about passed, and com.
munities are realizing now that their
growth depends altogether on their
own initiative and accomplishments.
Practically every citizen of Ardmore
feels that the opportunity for big
city is here. They base their hopes
on the fact that this city is located
favorably for development along
strong but conservative lines. Ard
more is hundred miles from any
other large city, either north or south,
and on the east and west there are
no competitors for hundreds of miles.
Ardmore ought to be great whole
sale and jobbing center, it should be
great railroad center, manufacture
ing center, and in fact everything that
goes to make the great city should
be part and parcel of its makeup.
But how to make it such, is the
question.
There is no city on the Santa Fe !
that attracts more attention !
from the train windows than Ard
more. Passengers have the idea that
it is the coming city" Ardmore IS
so viewed by the outside world. If
the leaders of our commercial and re-
.ail interests will get together and
decide just what should be done to
bring about the results all feel Ard
more can attain, they will find no
ack of adherents. The rank and
lie of the men, from the humblest
aborer to the richest financier,
stands ready for the call to arms.
What Ardmore needs right now is
| Moses-not a Napoleon, for no Wat
,rloo goes for Ardmore-but a Moses,
Who shall arise and point the way.
There are something like sixteen thou
iand people ready to hold up his
lands.

Deckert has five pounds the best

JUAREZ VALLEY
To Be IRRIGATED
Engineers From Mexico
City Here to Arrange
Canals for River Flow.

Headgates and new 1aterals for the
irrigation system on the south side Of
the Rio Grande river win soon be IN
der way. if the plans of a commission
Of engineers from Mexico City, now in
Ell PasO, materialize.
The engineering men and their
assistants arrived in EI Paso Wednes-
day evening from Mexico City and are
at the Paso del NOrte. The irrigation
system upon the Mexican side of the
river is an ancient one and in the
treaty between the two republics which
made possible the Rio Grande project
the provision is made for so, 900 acre
feet of water annually as MexicO's

Engineering Party.
During the Madero regime in Mexico
a similar delegation came to the border
and established headquarters in Juarez.
When the Felix Diaz revolt occurred
the commission was Withdrawn and
until now the matter has been in abey-
ance. The chief engineer of the party
is Manuel Bancalari. His associates
in the undertaking are: Vincente
Soils. Jose A. Ortiz. Adrian del Paso.
Enriques Rubis, Rafael Peres and
Pauline Tapia.
To Irrigate 10000 Acres.

all the land that is made possible Of
irrigation under the treaty The $4,000
acre feet are capable of watering some
10000 acres. In so far as the develop
ment Of the canals is concerned there
is little to be done, save slight changes
and alterations. for the canals as they
now exist in Juarez and east are the
result Of some 900 years OF actual irri-
CATION Headgates and laterals are all
that are essential in the Mexican un-
dertaking. For the purpose of the
work Andres Garcia, the Mexican con-
sui in El PasO, has been authorized 20
place $4,000 at the command of the COM
mission to carry on its work
From Mexico City.
The members of the party come di-
rect from Mexico City, but received
their instructions from the first chief
at Queretaro. The probability is that
while in the north the commission viii
have its headquarters at the Paso del
Norte hotel. 1t is the intention of the
commission to make visit TO the Ele-
plant Butte dam while In FL PasO, but
this viii be a diversion as their work
has no connection with the dam. and
their interest in the project begins
with the headgate above FL Paso
which turns the Rio Grande waters
into the Mexican canals.
