Mr.. and Mrs. Jonathan Fairbanks,
with their six children, came 20 Bos

of Yorkshire, England. in 1899. and
three years later moved To Dedhani,
where they erected what is now
the central portion of the Fairbanks
house, two wings having been added,
one in 164S and the other in 1851.
Timbers used in the old house were
brought by Mr. Fairbanks from Eng

The parlor to the right as you

a fireplace originally seven feet two

On the Soap Box

The New York World has rather neatly put it by
saying that The soap box was better used when

To allow the freedom of speech which is demanded
by the pacifist the l. W. W. and others would be
to put every man above the law; or rather to make
him law unto himself Freedom o speech is one
thing and injury organized society through inju-
dicious speech is quite another
The world is full of faults We all see them about
us on every hand and all have many ourselves, but
the forward looking tries to ntegenty correct

All time there are men with sense TO grasp

New Red Cross Quarters

The Red Cross women are now COM
fortably located in the vacant store
room adjoining and belonging to the
Salt River Valley bank. The bank has
donated the use OF the room. This
brings the work shop down stairs

less Inconvenience and be less in the
way of the various lodges which meet

Phythias have very generously do

What Are We Fighting For?

Lord Northcliffe head of the British war mission
the United States does regard entrance of
this country world an entrance caused
entirely by desire this country to fight for de-
mocracy in general He believes this country in the
to fight for democracy but a very particular de-
mocracy-the very life of these United States as
independent nation He not only believes this but
has voiced his opinion in a very striking way in an
article for Current Oponion.
Northcliffe is of the very striking figures in
England and English life He would have been cap
tain in business life and public opinion in any land and
what he thinks he fearless saying lie rather strips
the things with regard TO the entrance
of the United States into this and him the
whole German scheme first take France and
Russia, defeat Them then turn to and vanqush Eng
land after which the United States would have fallen
before the Teuton toe Briefly put he believes that
the German aim nothing else than complete world
dominion.
Basng his argument upon this theory he believes
that the United States fighting because if he did
the time would come when. alone and unsupported it
would face the Central Powers. He argues that
if it had been the thought into the war solely
for the principle of democracy this country would have
been engaged the and not after the war had
gone for nearly three years
1t almost unbelievable that Germany with
Austria Hungary as its paw could have shot at
such mark the complete subjugation of the four
greatest nations of the globe outside itself but after
reading some of the books about the German mind
found in Germany is ready to believe any
thing. Whether Northciffe is right wrong the
United States at this time is certainly fighting its
existence in in which if it's allies lost it would
have to bear the brun alone. This is very practical
why every grain of wheat, every bit of
every munition and gun to allies is just
effective though to soldiers at the
front for between and German greed there
certainly stands this time only the fringe Of ships
and line of men which England, France, Italy, Russia
and their associates interpose.
