BIRTH CONTROL
A FALSE NOTION.

A woman went on trial In New York
yesterday for having distributed infor-
nation on the subject OF birth control
The facts at hand do not show in what
mood or spirit she took the trouble to
prepare and pass around the informa-
ton on this very interesting subject.
II may be that she was deeply moved
by spirit of humanitarianism and
hoped, out OF sympathetic heart, to
do good to some Of the prospective
visitors to this earth by preventing
;heir arrival, thereby saving them the
painful experiences that they would be
bound to encounter. But of course
most OF us have a little fun now and
then as we rush madly through life
and 1t is the bright spots in the human
career that make life worth while.
Why not prepare and distribute
more information on how to make use
OF the abundant means the human race
now haF at it's command waiting To be
appropriated for the happiness and
welfare of everybody. II it is neces'
sary TO curb the increase because of
the conditions in the industrial field
the attempt to remedy conditions in
the interest of human happiness will
never &c effective that way. The
same Old conditions will cnotniue to
exist until we learn and apply to hui
man affairs genuine political

That the people of the Warren District, of Cochse county, Arizona and of the country entirely lacking patriotism is shown by the increasing number "colors" which beng' brought into prominence During the last several weeks the number of small lapel emblems. bearing the flag of the United States have gradually increased and have created favorable comment
 One wearing of such flags riding car days ago acquaintance a and asked:
 %What lodge does that represent"
 That represents the greatest lodge in the world American citizenship"
 So it s and that appear be on the brink of which is making when are trying to do right with European adversary and possibly Latin American nation, it is extremely fit and proper that the people fly colors In the hustle and hustle of the everyday Americans life, busily oc- cuped He has little time much than to think of his immediate work In that very is he aiding in the upbuding of greater latent respect for the emblem of this country Sometimes lost in the occupation
 Consequently when the spirit of America is aroused it most certainly is the present time the flying of the flag is proper It is the personfcauon deter minaon of-a righteousness of spirit of will to win that which is right and basis of judgment which is its finest the greatest justice world
 The flag of the United States. forty-eight stars field of blue and thirteen stripes field red should mean the swelling of the breast in pride the uncoverng of the head in justice to standards and nation and determination die necessary for all that these things represent.
