ask through the columns of your
paper. why is 1t that public
speakers and ministers of the
Gospel can use much the same
language on the public platform
and pass unchallenged?
Does it make a difference who

Did 1t take jury of IL men in

language?

HOUSE PULLS
A CUTE TRICK
(Special to The Times.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. S.-That was
a great little trick the house turn
ed yesterday to slip the moose
around the neck of such progress
sive legislation as the return of
home rule to cities and constitu-
|tional amendment by the initia-
tive.
In adopting the committees re-
port for Indefinite postpone
ment" the house went on record
against any form of constitutional
amendment until the voters say In
1918 whether they want consti-
tutional convention called.
What this future decision of the
voters has to do with amending
the constitution right now, none
of the members is ready to say.
Anyway, 1t made a first class
excuse for refusing to give what
the people right now are demand
ing.

FRANCE A MINE OF
 AMERICAN HISTORY

In the historic Spanish city of Se vile. near the famous cathedral and occupying frontage of about 200 feet, stands a building; that is of paramount interest to the people of practically all the American republic. Because of the contents of this building Seville is becoming the mecca of American his torians
 The structure is a veritabf treasure house of authentic facts concerning the colonial period of all the Spanish speaking countries of the New World as we'll as a mine of information rel ative to the early history of very large part of the United States.
 The house is known as the Casa Lonia, and the treasures it contains consist of the general archives of the Indies. that wonderful collection of un published, unedited and for the most part even unindeXed original docu- ments. reports letters, etc. which prac- tically embrace the administration of the colonies under the dominion of Spain in all the Americans.
 The mother country kept in very close touch with her children across the sea. and these detailed reports contracts. cedulas and legal documents of every kind. as well as thousands ot letters of officials-private and confi- dential as well as of a public char acter-form an almost ineXhaustible mine of historical facts.

THANKSGIVING AT INDIAN SCHOOL |S
 HAPPY OCCASION

The auditorium was filled to it's capacity Friday evening at the h. dian school, when an entertainment for the benefit of the boys in the army and navy was given.
 The school orchestra rendered some very good music while the ushers were busily finding seats for the people.
 When the curtain arose, the stage commanded the admiration of the audience with it's beautiful decora- tions consisting of corn stalks which served as a background, and sheaves of wheat which stood at each end of the platform. Flowers were also seen which of course, added great deal to the beauty of the scene
 cord was struck on the piano and thirty girls dressed in white arose and marched to their places on the stage. Soon the audience was listening to a very pretty Thanks giving song, produced by alto and soprano voices.
 After the song. a recitation was given by Elizabeth Enos, in which she urged farmers to offer Thanks giving to Almighty God for their bountiful crops.
 In the next scene was lonely Mrs. Brown, sitting at a table reading a newspaper to herself. Her sad looks were due to the absence of her hus- | band who had died and also her two sons who had answered the call to ! the cOlOrs.

Prices closed nervous. $z to l12 net higher with January S1.20$s to S1.201a and May $1.1S7s to s1.1e. Oats gained B to 2ls. The finish in pro- visions ranged from ten cents decline to a raise of 2l2.
 Notwithstanding that rural advances told of heavier shipments coming, and despite the fact that the trade con- tinued to expect much more liberal ar rivals in the near future, the fact that receipts of corn today were of only moderate volume had an evident tend ency to make sellers cautious.
 Offerings were scarce throughout the session and 1t was noticea ble that pre- dictions of excellent weather failed to bring about any change in pit senti- ment.
 Fresh buying for export interests put the oats market on the up grade.
 Provisions averaged higher with hogs and grain. Realizing sales, however, weakened the market during the last half hour.

BONDS
 AS PRESENTS |S NEW SUGGESTION

The real patriotic American Christmas present this year is Lib crtv loan bond.
 All other gifts this holiday season, even of gold coins, have no place with the purpose and meaning and effect of the preservations of Uncle Sam's bonds which he gives the people for the loan of their money to carry on the great war to a sue cessful conclusion.
 officials of the federal reserve banks are urging the widest possible distribution of the Liberty loan bonds, an especial effort being made this Christmas time to place the bonds in the hands of practically every citizen in the country. Urging the wide distribution of he Liberty loan bonds, the officials of the Twelfth Reserve band at San Francisco have asked Governor Campbell to call the attention Of the people of Arizona. and especially the banks of this state, to a continued effort to place as many of the bonds with the people as possible
 The following letter was yesterday sent by Governor Thomas E. Camp hell to each man of the "A state and national banks in Arizona:
 December l, 1917. My Dear Shs:
 am reminded by the governor of the federal reserve bank of the Twelfth district that a continued ef- fort upon the part of our bankers for the widest possible distribution of Liberty loan four per cent bonds is necessary.
 Our government requires every dol lar of new money available for the purchase of it's bonds during the wal and the real purpose of the Liberty loan campaign is a distribution oi these government bonds among ih- vcstors who will hold them during the duration of the war.
 Officers and employees of all banks are urged Co constant effort in the distribution of any bonds they havt on hand, among residents of theii districts who have Rot already in vested
 lt is pointed out that the approach. ing holiday season may we'll furnish an incentive to the purchase of these bonds Every effort must be mad, by letter, advertisement and per. s0ually to prevail on our people tC huy these bonds as Christmas gift! to relatives and friends. instead O the useless offerings so commonly made at that time.

 With best wishes | am sincerely.

 A further reason put forward b. the federal reserve bank official why gold coins should not be use, this year as Christmas gifts is be cause the government needs all tn gold it can possibly hoard.
 Many people-the rich being guilt in this respect-after failing to fin, gifts that suit them to send to thei friends at Christmas. said the of ficial, drop into a bank the day be fore Christmas and get a "handfu of gold" to scatter around Christina day.
 The only reason why they shouldn' do that this year is that Uncle San needs the gold to help win the wal TO keep up the great system of wa financing which keeps the allie fighting, as well as ourselves. tn
