eERMANY,s sUBMARINE VA

Almost like the p%roverbial bolt
from a blue sky came the news last
v,ak Of Germany's wide extension
Of her submarine warfare against
Great Gritain. with its announced
purpose the destruction Of all ships
going TO the islands Of Great Britain.
What effect Il will have upon the
outcome Of the war is problematical.
What Il viii mean to the United
States is also problematical, but the
people MIGHT as well face the stern
Facts of .ha unpleasant business and
decide now as 70 what course they
must take II. as appears likely, the
Lusitania Ease Is repeated with a loss
of neutral lives.
We do not attempt TO solve this
problem, but we tell u readers that
they should at once advise their con-
RTessmen and senators as well as the
president himself Of their wishes.
The United States will act as It's peo-
pie say and you have a right to put
your opinion upon record, and we are
sure that congress- will declare war
at a mandate from the American
people, but not without their COM
mand.

HUMAN NATURE

You can talk with almost any man
or woman in Lordsburg and you will
find him or her a good roads booster.
They all know just how fine the
roads around southern Grant county
should appear to them when they go
automobiling.
But when it comes to improving
the streets along their properties.
nine out Of ten demonstrate and call
it an unnecessary expense.
We think that II it is a good thine
for the country districts to have good
roads. it is likewise a good thing for
the city districts to have good
streets.

White of an Eoo.

The white of an egg is made up of little cells filled with albumen. By beating the white these cells are rup- tured and oxygen from the air is in- closed, which gives the white and light appearance of beaten eggs. The white of stale egg will not inclose as much oxygen, will not be as, light ana as easily digested as that of the fresh egg and is, of course, less valuable. The importance of beating the egg in cold, pure air is readily seen.-Exchange.
