| WARS OF THE MACCABEES
A priest of noble character,
Matathias Hasmon, who had five
sons, organized resistance against
the despot. When Matathias
died, in 166 B. c.. his son. Judas
Macabeus, succeeded him and
gained four victories against the
Syrians, but it was not until 139
B. c., that the Syrians were f.
nally driven out of the fortress
which commanded the Temple.
This was accomplished by one Of
the sons of Judas Maccabeus.
Freed from foreign foes, the
people Of Jerusalem renewed
their civil strife. Judas Macca-
beus had made an alliance with
Rome. and on the strength of this

Complete Registration Continued From Page Three)

F. M. Dunbar, Mrs. S. L. Wadin, Mrs P. H. Pinter Miss Eleanor Dunne Miss Mary Prince and Court Clerk Hugo Farmer are on this honor roll They worked day and night in order to get the list out on time and the county is greatly indebted to them for their patriotism.
 Now that this list of names is com plete it will be an easy matter for the authorities to check it up with the political registration list and as certain if we have any "slackers" in Yuma county. With the exception of a few Indian boys who failed to reg ister through ignorance rather than design, it is not known that there is stacker in the county. However, it will be well for every man who has registered to call at the county re- corder's office and examine the list to see if any of his friends failed in his duty. That is about the best way to locate a stacker.
 There are only few disloyal in- dividuals in Yuma county who have been rash enough to denounce the registration law All of these have long since been properly marked" and located, and should they persist in giving utterance to disloyal re- marks they will be dealt with in manner that will do them a world of good.
 Let no stacker escape. If you know of any report him to any of the local officials

"A new decalogue of war for wom- en has been arranged by the profes- sors of the University of Turin," says Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the Woman's Committee of the Coun- ell of National Defense.
 'This decalogue, like that of the Scriptures, applies to both men and women, and by close attention to it's rules, everyone will be able not only to do her part, but to do 1t so sys- tematically and efficiently that there is no demand the government could make that would not find us pre- pared to respond at once. If every family kept this decalogue where it could be in view every day it would remind them of their duty as well as the glory of sharing in the great new struggle which we trust shall bring to us a fulfillment of the Spirit of Him who came to bring Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,"
 The decalogue is as follows:
 1.-Do not chatter. Keep to your self the news you hear, your own impressions, and your apprehensions.
 2.-Do not listen to alarmists. to slackers. or to those who would spread Encouragement. Silence them.
 3.-Be moderate in your spending, neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in your economies. Let everything in your life, even your daily expenses, take on at this moment it's true na- tional importance.

War DecalOgue for Women
 Regulates War Conduct

4.-Eucourage national industries, avoiding imported goods, even though they may seem better and less costly than those made at home.
 5.-Do not look upon the departure to the front of those dear to you as an abandonment. Be with them con- stantly in thought, as they are with you, particularly in the hour of dan ger: and do all that you can to re- place them in their former occupas tiOns.
 6.-Do not complain of the difficult ties, annoyances and privations caused by the war. Think of those who are dying for their country and complaint will halt upon your lips.
 7.-Multiply your activities, in your home as we'll as outside, thereby ren- Gering yourself useful to your coun- try by the work of your hands. the warmth of your heart and the clarity of your intelligence.
 S-Exhibit day by day and hour by hour the same courage man shows upon the field of battle. Instruct the ignorant, uphold the feeble. console those who are stricken; transmit your own confidence to others.
 9.-No matter how long the strug- gle may last, await victory with strength and patience.
 1O-If you are stricken m your dearest affections, bear your sorrow nobly, that your tears may be worthy of the hero whose death you mourn.

HonorinQ French Soldiers

Of the methods of honoring soldiers for distinguished service on the field of battle, the "fourragers" conferred upon the crack regiments of France is one of the most original It consists Of a colored cord ending in brass tag, the name being derived from the French word for tethering rope for horses. Every officer and man in q regiment rewarded for galantry in ac. tion by the fourragers has the right to wear this cord round the left shoul- der. There are two Classes of the distinction, one having green and red cord to correspond With the croiX de guerre, and the other being in green and yellow, on the lines of the rarer metallic militaire.

Exerted Persuasive Power.

Roland was native son" and had taken heed of the conversations of his friends with their many relatives and friends who visited them in California. When a small puppy was given to him the little chap was much disappointed because Pat would not follow him about, but preferred to finger near the milk saucer. After having exhausted all his wiles to no effect, his distressed little face suddenly frightened once more with coaxing smiles. Certain at last that he had remembered an unfail- ing inducement, he cried joyfully: {: "Come on. Pat! Come on down in the canyon with me-awful pretty view down there!"

When bird is about to at- tack q worm he looks at the worm, trying to ascertain whether the worm is a food worm or puff-adder. The mental process of the bird is trans. ferred to the nervous system of the worm, who, now aware of the fact that the bird would hesitate to attack him if he were Il puff-adder, proceeds to initiate the pufS-adder.

THE OLD LADY TALKS

 II see by the papers" said the Old Lady, "that the Germans (funny how you can come to just despise name, ain't it?)-that the Germans have gone down into Italy and done quite a deal O. damage. Only few weeks ago, seems like, the papers said Italy was on the way up to Austria. and marching double quick.
 "Milly Sands boy come home from training camp last Saturday, and said he and the boys woul dsoon be get ting over to France-going to finish up the job O this war, he said. Milly Sands smiled she didn't seem to have much doubt her boy and his friends could do 1t. I daresay that's the way some of the Italian mothers felt when the march was toward Vienna, instead of toward Venice. Folks never seem to doubt thing can be dore. before they try it.
 "My Uncle Benjamin said he'd ct pie for breakfast all his life. and mince pie at that, mostly; he died of eating pie-and custard 'pie-for din- ner. Same thing, only different, hap pened when William White was, up for Congress. Folks all said Why William'll be elected! Sure thing! Williams the best man ever put up on a ticket in this state!' So they mostly stayed home from the polls. election day being rainy; and-Pat- rick Murphy went to Congress.
 And now we're saying we are go- ing to win this war! Makes me laugh. I can't help being reminded of those Wilberforces that come here couple of years ago and bought the old Banks place. MT. Wilberforce was captain of industry-so they said. And SO he said He said lot. Said he was go- ing to have bumper crop on all his land next year, going to show folks how to grow things. He took his folks to the city for the winter. and come out in May, when the weather was settled. We'll his bumper crops didn't bump. One day he took John off by hisself and they had a talk. The root of the matter is, MT. Wilber- force.' said John, you. got to do a. heap O. ploughing before you can grow things said he. Wilberforce had uctcI gwen HAuCn tAOu6AI eO PAOu6" ing.
 ''Ploughing ain't very interesting workout it has to be done, if you're going to get anywheres.
 "I do wonder. sometimes. how soon this country is going to begin to plough I wonder if folks even know what it means to plough!
 "Ploughing is working and pushing and showing and pulling all together, man, beasts and instrument. It means eating down into the earth. eating deep, and turning up every bit O rich ness there is offering it up to the sunshine and the seeds. It's back breaking work, ploughing is. and mo- body likes to do it much. But it's got to be done. and done thorough.

Evolution of the Almond.

One would scarcely suspect the al- mond of ever being anything else than a nut. Outside the shell is a thin coating of green, leathery pulp, too bit ter to eat and not much more inviting than the husk of hazelnut. Yet, within historical times, selection and cultivation have modified the almond into luscious fruit-the peach.
