 It looks if Mexico may develop into frank ally of Germany. At best the Mexican will keep large part of military forces busy and tie up that could be used to better advantage elsewhere
 And then comes Cuba That delightfully."- irresponsible freed by Uncle Sam. and pacifed by him twice, and doesn't mind being pscided third time But how fortunate that the job should loom just now! There's much ground for thinking that while Cuba has love for Germany. German emssaries have been the tom of the disorder attending the disputed Cuban ton and that possibly German money has financed the incipient revolt.
 We might take of Germany, Mexico. Cuba and Japan all together if had time enough to prepare. But they may not be considerate enough to wait.

The students of the University of Arizona have been greatly incensed by the reports coming ostensibly from l. Colodny, formerly an instructor in the University. who recently published in his personal periodical an account or purported endorsement of him by the student body, and rehecting upon the University authorities. Action to rebut this was taken this week at a crowded student body meeting when it was charged among other things that the writer of anonymous com munications to Colodny's paper had grossly misrepresented the real facts A set of ringing resolutions denoun' cing the action of Colodny and de lending the reputation of the Universi ty were passed and submitted to the focal press for publication.

Remove the Advertising Signs.

Representatives from firm which
advertises largely by mailing signs on
trees along the public highways were
informed by officials of the State
Highway Department in Jefferson
City this week that all road oversecrs
and county highway engineers in
Missouri will be required to enforce
the law which prohibits the mailing or
fastening OF advertising signs to
fruit. shade or ornamental trees
growing along the roadside.
Although this law has been in ef-
feet for some months. there is no
noticeable decrease in the number of
signs attached to trees along the
public roads. The law provides that
it shall be the duty of the county
highway engineer to see that this
provision is enforced, and the State
Highway Department takes this
means Of notifying county highway
engineers that full and complete.
compliance with this law will be ex-
pected.
Local merchants who try to boost
their business by mailing signs on
trees along the roads leading into
town will find the columns of this
paper to ; be a more profitable
medium. The removing of the signs
will do much to protect the trees and
add to the beauty Of our public high
ways.

Boy Scouts Have Drum.

The Boy Scouts have added tc
their troop property brand new
drum, which arrived Monday. Dur
ing the summer the sum of $Io.6
was raised by some of our town peo-
pie for the purpose OF buying a fife
and drum for the Scouts. In looking
for suitable drum, Scoutmaster
Lloyd Gaines discovered that this
was not enough money to buy fife
and drum, except of inferior quality.
a good drum was offered by Nation
al Headquarters Of B. S. A. for twen-
ty subscriptions to Boys Life" a
magazine published in the interests of
Scouts and scouting This magazine
costs one dollar per year, but by col
lecting fifty cents from each of twen-
ty scouts, adding the sum OF $1,000
donated, enabled the troop to obtain
the drum as a premium, and to also
give the twenty boys the magazine
for one year at half price. The drum
is a beauty, SO the boys say. Hupp
4 Sons donated nice piece of paint
ing on the drum for the boys which
declares that the drum is the prop
erty OF Boy. Scouts OF America,
Troop One. Butler. Mo-"
The troop is becoming as we'll
equipped as any scout troop in a
place OF this size, as they now have
property worth nearly seventy-fivc
dollars, and nearly every scout is uni
formed. as well as the Scoutmaster
and assistant. All of this property
has been secured through the efforts
OF the scouts, not cent ever being
advanced by the scouts Individually.
Scoutmaster Gaines believes in his
boys and likes the work, and is rap
idly advancing the troop toward the
First Class Scout" goal. He hopes
to have every scout in his troop first
class scouts by spring.
AT this time. they are closing their
for Liberty Loan Bonds. |
The Government presents every
scout who secures ten subscriptions
Ior. loans from as many different
families with a war medal. Some of
them are nearing the mark that Sc

Basil Bancroft, American represen-
tative of leading English aircraft
concern, spoke thus on his arrival
mere yesterday, sounding grave warn
ing that unless America prepares
and prepares now-to meet the
kaiser's air armada, incalculable dis
aster is inevitable, especially to
American ports and coast cities.
BANCROFT received an honorable dis
charge from the British army after
being wounded in the battle of Loos.
"The war;" he said. must end in
the air. Navies are useless. Gains
on land are too costly. If the allies
want to crush Germany by land war
fare they will reach Berlin in Izo
years, based on their present pro-
gress. ......
"In London we built guns to meet
the airship peril. Germany answered
Us with ships that flew higher than
any gun could reach. and we had to
scrap the protection and build new
guns, But that really was useless.
