notorious life prisoner, abandoned his

Gil last January committed that pro-
vision of Pomeroy's sentence which
stipulated that he should spend his
days In solitary confinement Pomeroy

liable to labor. His refusal to work
was punished with twenty-four hours
in dark cell and a diet Of bread and
water, but he declined to yield until

TWO LITTLE PARDS

(By Ned White, Bisbee, Arizona.)
Two little pards went side by side
over the meadow green and wide,
They sailed great ships on the tiny
stream
And conquered worlds, in their boy
hood dream.
Two little pards, still side by SIDE
Out upon life's stormy tide,
Drifting along as the years roll past
Sometimes in the whirlpools cast.
Shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand
Two little pards together stand
They are looking over no mans land.
Two little pards today must part
One little pard with a broken heart,
In the trenches now will dream
OF the ships they sailed in the tiny
stream.

Reports received here today from

Chief Disputed Point
The chief point disputed in official
Berlin quarters is the purport of the
cablegram sent by the kaiser to Presi-
dent Wilson on August 10, 1914, in
which Germany sought to justify the
invasion of Belgium.
The full text of this telegram was
printed last Sunday in the Gerard
memoirs. President Wilson gave Mr..
Gerard permission to use the telegram
in his book and the advance Install
ments of it, but publication of an Off
cial document under a copyright caus-
ed some criticism in Washington.
This criticism was answered yester-
day when the state department made
public officially for the press the text
of the kaisers message.
Will Deny Telegram
Germany, it is understood, will Of
ficially deny such a telegram was
sent, although it will admit the kaiser
granted Ambassador Gerard an audi

A LESSON in ECONOMY

The domestic science depart
m mt of the State Fair proposes
to practice what it breaches,
thereby justifying that phase of
its work which just now appeals
most to the people, namely econ
omy in repulsing the onslaught
of the H. C. l..
1t is therefore announced to
prospective exhibitors that it is
not necessary to use up the en-
tire pantry stock in baking for
the competitive prizes. Exhibits
will be judged by their quality
and not by their size. though
there is no prejudice against
"outsizes. A pie or cake six
inches in diameter will take just
as big a prize as though it were
three times as big. providing the
quality is there, and only costs
half as much to make. In like
manner a loaf of bread need not
comply with market regulations
for size. All the judges want to
know is that it is made right.
The exhibit of the Council of
Defense in the same building,
will also demonstrate processes
for economy in cooking and can
ming that will be of special in
terest to those exhibiting in this

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE

Evidently some unknown dis
ease has attacked The dogs of
this vicinity. 1t probably is not
hydrophobia, but some disease
that starts with a fever, the dogs
quickly losing their appetites and
quit eating. The lower jaw drops
and the saliva runs from the
mouth, presenting a slobbery ap-
pearance. When the disease
reaches this stage, the dog wants
to run and bite at everything.
He becomes mad and dangerous,
and there seems only one thing
to do and that is to kill him.
During the past two weeks
seven dogs have been killed by
the officers, among them several
fine-bred pets.
Owners of dogs should watch
them closely, keep them tied up
or muzzled, and if they are at
tackled with this disease, consult
the veterinary. If he cannot
help them, shoot the dog.

to enter the war at our side. He
loved liberty well enough to fight
for it three years before his
country had come to that decision.
In the pride we take over our
army in France and the American
Rochambeau at the head of it,
let us not forget the American
Lafayettes. Three years ago,
like Lafayette, they heard the
call of endangered liberty in an
other land and went to risk their
lives for it, without waiting, as
he did not wait, for the slow pro-
cess of craftsmanship. The seed
Lafayette sowed has yielded a
harvest. Many of them have
given up their lives. as he risked
his for freedom across the ocean.
All of them have longed, while
they have fought under an alien
flag, to see the Stars and Stripes
come over to join them. Ali
through the war Clancy, of Bos-
ton and Texas, carried an Ameri-
can flag in his kit, and when he
heard the news that his country
had at last come up to join him,
he brought it out and carried it

and fell wounded with it in his
hand. The west front is dotted
with Clancys. They are the men
who returned Lafayette's visit.
TO serve America, my dear
general, is for me an inexpensive
happiness" Lafayette wrote to
Washington. In the Foreign
Legion, in the Lafayette Esca-
drille, in many and many COM
mand that steadfast loyalty and
unselfish zeal are reproduced. =

AWARDED LIBERTY BONDS

In the recent contest staged by
the Maxwell Motor Company, in
a nationwide gasoline economy
test, over forty Maxwell owners
on the Pacific Coast were awarded
Liberty Bonds, ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, as a reward
for their efforts in establishing
some new high marks in gasoline
economy.
In San Bernardino, several
Maxwell owners received 5000. 90
Liberty Bonds; one owner making
1915 miles to a single gallon Of
gasoline. together with twelve
other entrants who made a total
average of 1877 miles to the gal
lon.
The highest mileage recorded
was made in Atlanta, Ca, where
one owner made 81 8 miles. Out
of 1000 competitors the grand
average was 22.7 miles to the
gallon and is considered remark
able in view of the fact that no
special adjustments were per-
missable and each owner was
compelled to drive his own car.
Numerous contests of a like
nature will be arranged from
time to time and many owners
are seeking information concern
ing exact dates of the contests,
being anxious to better their
former high marks.

1t is not true, though it is often
said, that General Pershing is

to fight for endangered American

CAMP FUNSTON, KANS..
September 20. 1917.

EDITOR GUARDIAN: To say
that Camp Funston is the busiest
recruiting station in this half of
the world is not presumptuous.
Geographically it is located in
the northeast central part of
the state of Kansas, about four
miles east of Ft. Riley. Nested
happily between two grass COW
cred hills, running parallel on
the north and south, with a
clump of trees growing here and
there at their bases.
A small stream of water flows
through the valley, coursing
closely to the ridge on the south.
Camp Funston is about three
miles wide and four miles long.
The barracks and accompanying
houses are built of lumber and in
rows along either side. In the
center is large field used for
extensive drill work. Each build
ing is intended to accommodate
200 men. Arizonans are being
put in the Field Artillery and the
barracks they occupy are being
filled to 150 or near that number.
The Arizonans look good to
Uncle Sans officers. The dull
monotony of the ever arriving
drafted men was broken this
afternoon, when a train pulled in
from the west. Flags were wav-
ing out of nearly every window
and a noise broke forth that
