LIKE TO BUCK UP?
ALI right, EAT A GOAT
But Don't Butt and Don't Say Ma-a-s,
I'LL Give You Away.

the high cost Of living. Perhaps you
ate goat for dinner last night So be
careful this morning, or you VIII greet
your friends In sort Of a canny manner,
which may get their Nanny aroused, ~
they also ate Of the latest addition TO
the morsels on the market
A nice slice or two of Billy or Nanny
goat is quite the thing for your market
basket II you want TO be up to date.
Why not? Although you may not have
known II, chances are you have eaten
many pound OF horse and other kinds
OF flesh which are not generally listed in

You are warned about goats paradipE

The School Employees.

Scanning the District of Columbia
appropriation bill as it passed the
House, the public. school employees
find little to commend-particularly
with the consideration that has been
given to the payroll figures that affect
their own pocketbooks.
Congress has been liberal with the
public school system of the DISTRICT
from the standpoint of physical prop
erty By comparison it has not been
as fair with the school personnel.
Corporations of the country have
long recognized that the efficiency of
the working personnel is fully as irn-
portant as the efficiency of the plant.
This is even more true of the public
school system where the product is
not goods manufactured for profit
but boys and girls. Surely our fu-
ture citizens should be trained by a
contented and efficient teaching force.
The high school teachers start at
$1,000 year and after years of serv-
i've reach, (what is the maximum for
the majority, $500.
They spend years of time and much
money in acquiring the education that
equips them to properly mould the
youthful mind. The high cost of liv-
ing affects them equally as much as
any other class of employees.
Under the existing scale graded
school teachers start at $500 a year.
Fifty of them are in that class. Three
hundred and thirty-eight are in the
5000 class, 4o5 in the 5000 class, 434 in
the $500 class and IIo in the $3.50
class. These salaries can stand the
healthful application of revision up
ward.
The money that comes from the
people for increases of this character
will go back to them in better citi-
zenship and better citizens.

GREETINGS!

What shall 1 wish thee for the coming
year?
Twelve months of dreamlike ease? No
care? No pain?
Bright spring-calm summer-autumn
without rain
OF bitter tears? wouldst have It thus,
my friend?
What profit, then, were had at the years

What shall I wish thee, then? Thou
knowest well
II could have my way no shade Of woe
Should ever dim thy sunshine-but 7
know
Strong courage is not born Of slothfll
sleep,
Nor patience learnt by eyes that never
weep.
Ah, would my wishes were of more avail
To guard thee in the evening Of thy life!
Still. let me wish thee courage for the
strife
The happiness that comes of work well
done
And afterward the peace Of victory wont

Carranza, the Obstinate.

Venustiano Carranza has refused
to affix his signature to the protocol
by which President Wilson hoped to
restore peace in Northern Mexico,
gain guarantee for the protection
of American rights and pave the way
for the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexican territory and
from along the border.
1t is stated that Carranza's refusal
to meet the American terms means
that the so-called peace commission
which has been in conference for
three months in New London, Allan
tic City, Philadelphia and other places
is to hold no more meetings and will
disband, its work recorded as fail
ure.
Thus it seems that the Mexican sit
uation is thrown back to the place il
occupied three months ago, before
the assembling of the peace commits
sion. American regulars still are
camped on Mexican soil, American
militia still guards our border, Car
rama still remains stubborn Sphinx
and Villa still continues to kick up
dust and spill blood.
The American people naturally will
look for the next step of the admins
tration. This step has not yet been
decided upon, for Secretary of the
Interior Lane, chairman of the Amer
lean members of the peace commits
sion, has said:
1--WE have no plans contingent upon
Carranza's refusal to sign the proto-
col. If he does refuse we will take
up that matter when it happens" The
time limit for the signing by Carranza
expired at last midnight.
One of the chief characteristics oi
President Wilson is his tience. Al
least, the American people have come
so to believe since Mr.. Wilson ha:
been in the White House. 1t is being
reported, however, that the patience
of the Chief Executive at last has been
exhausted by the obduracy of Car
rama.
However, the same patience which
Mr.. Wilson has exhibited throughout
the Mexican troubles still may be ex-
pected to be the guiding factor in our
future attempts to solve the Mexican
problem.
But though patience may continue
to be one of the dominant factors in
our attitude toward Mexico, patience
with Carranza and his arrogant, silly
obstinacy soon may be exhausted.
Carranza's failure to affix his sigma
ture to the protocol approved by this
government may mean new stage in
the Mexican situation that will mark
the beginning of the end for the first
chief.

Yet even in proposing peace there is
no hint Of guarantees for the future, no
suggestion Of assurances that peace does
not mean merely an armed truce which
Germany Is again to violate at the first
favorable opportunity. The great OBJ
stacle to peace is not the indecisive
status Of the war or the obstinacy of
the French and British governments or
the desire of Germany's enemies for
revenge. 1t il the deep conviction OF
belligerents and neutrals alike that the
government Of Germany cannot be trust
cd and that there can be no security for
civilization until official Germany. has
radically changed its attitude toward the
rest Of mankind. That Is why no neutral
people have taken Germany's peace pro-
posals seriously, and that Is why no
neutral government will urge Great
Britain and France to end the war on
terms which would enable the German
government to proclaim a German VIC
tory.-NsW York World.

HOARD SHE BURIED IS GONE.
Wanting Money After Husbands
Death, Woman Discover. Loss

North Bend. Oreg.. Dec 8-Mrs. Dag
mar Greve's savings of years. amounting
TO $500, have been stolen from the ground
where Mrs. Greve buried the money.
Mrs. Greve is the widow of Clause Greve
who committed suicide.
The husband was an invalid. She kept
rooms and each month there was a small
amount which she was able to lay aside.
This money she converted into gold and
placed n a glass jar which she kept
about her bed. Finally she saved 500
and the sum, all in gold, she placed in a
jar which. wrapped in a cloth, she bur-
led months ago under a tree in the back
yard
Lately Mrs. Greve needed money to de-
fray expenses following her husbands
death. She dug where the money had
been concealed to discover that 1t had
been taken up. There is no clue as to
who got the money.

Aside from the conquest of walIachia

Germany tacitly staked her chances of

That the death rate Of the arjs-
tocracy Is so high is due to the fact
that the lesser army officers are usu-
ally members Of this class. Colonels
and majors and captains and lieutenants
are most exposed to death whenever
there Is call for action beyond the
trenches. Yet there has been no lack of
competition for these posts Of peril. The
aristocratic boy lieutenant nourishing his
first small mustache may not be an in
tellectual or physical giant, but he pos
sesses the requisite quality Of courage
and offers the needful example Of devo-
ton. incidentally he proves that mere
highness of birth does not imply effetee
ness and weakness.
In time of peace there may be no
practical use for hereditary aristocracy,
but in this time of war they have been
useful In showing the rest of the people
how to fight and, II need be, die for the
profit Of the nation. Cleveland Plain

Whatever views Of Germany's peace
proposals may be held by men in public
life in this country, they certainly should
not be controlled or affected by what is
best or worst for America. The people
of the United States want peace in E,l-
rope as soon as a just and lasting peace
can be obtained, and they are perfectly
willing, If that should be necessary, to
sacrifice some Of our present prosperity
to obtain this great end. For our own
part, we do not believe that peace in
Europe will have any depressing infiu-
ence on American industry. But 1t makes
no difference what the effect will be.
