manity and Of knightly nonor; their
intrigue has corrupted the very
thought and spirit of many of our
people; their sinister and secret diplo-
macy has sought to take our very ter

union of the states. Our safety would

ut is because 1t Is for us a war of
high, disinterested purpose, in which
all the free peoples of the world are
banded together fOv the vindication of
right, war for the preservation of our
nation, and of all that 1t has held dear
of principle and Of purpose, that we

purpose for its outcome only that
which Is righteous and of irreproach-
able intention. for our foes as well as
for our friends. The cause being just
and holy, the settlement must be of

can fight, but for nothing less noble
or less worthy of our traditions. For
this cause we entered the war and for
this cause will we battle until the last
gun is fired.
II have spoken plainly. because this
seems to me the time when 1t is most

we have not forgotten any ideal or
principle for which the name of Amer

nations and for which 1t has been our
glory to contend in the great genera

moment of history has come. The

The Mystery Explained.

Clifton Hess, an employee Of the
Pennsylvania railroad Mt Shelbyville.
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News.
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed q
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leis-
urely along. covering about foot q
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions, Hess walked outside to
get better view. Then it was all
explained. The woman had big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been leaky car of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster, OBJ
livious to all else. was calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread. for there ap-
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. AS the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

PARsIMoNY is NOT ECONOMY
Many People Able to Buy What They
Want Use Situation "a Excuse
for Going Without.

It is curious and mortifying con-
dition of the prevailing ECONOMY" that
many people abundantly able to buy
what they want use the situation rs an
excuse for going without. What does
this profit them? 1t merely makes
them richer at time when the talk
is Of being poorer. says the Hartford
COurnnt.
Food is one thing and clothes and
other articles that shoppers buy
are in distinctly other class.
When Smith cut down the sugar.
there is more sugar for Jones,
and the supply Of sugar Is limited. But
when Mrs. Smith goes without n cloak
for which she can easily pay and
which she expected to buy this season.
she is not helping Mrs. Jones to get
1t; she is simply misering along in her
own way. and to her small ability driv-
ing poor people out of work and dis
couraging merchants whose capital IL
invested. This isn't economy, 1t Is par
simony.
II everybody should quit making
purchases. what would become Of
manufacturers or dealers and of the
larger number of workers? 1t is a
good time to keep level head. Many
who watch the tendency of business
say. frankly that people of limited
means are less saving than those who
can well afford to get what they
want.

1t is said that the reason why sew

is an aspect of his career not by any

New York Evening Post. r
In the spring of 1915 Italy was stiH
uncertain as to her final decision. Clio

in control of the government, still re-

action of the country was as yet
doubtful, when this maker of over

this writer who had been termed the
last word in decadent and dollhouse
literature. landed on his native soil
after five years absence, and COM
menced his crusade. The ostensihle
reason for his visit was an address he
had to make at Quarto, where IS years
before GnribaldI had embarked with
his valiant "thousand:" the real object
his desire to drive Italy into the war.
From Quarto his trip to Rome was a
triumphal progress, punctuated with
impassioned oratory. He arrived in
Rome Just in time to forestall Giolitti.
who had forced the Salandra cabinet
to announce its resignation.
One hundred and fifty thousand
people welcomed D'AnnunziO In the
Piazza dele Terme. In the chamber
of deputies he was hailed as the coun-
try's savior, and the Italian parliament
answered his appeal with declaration
of war. Surely n strange Tyrtaeus,
but one not afraid to sacrifice his life
on behalf of his country.

Sally Crute Gives Warning Against

Sally Crute, who plays the part Of
an adventures in Mabel Taliaferro's
Metro wonderplay, "A Wife by
Proxy which will be seen at the
Alta theater on Tuesday and We'd
nesday is blonde, and contends that
blonde vampires" though rarer than
their dark haired sisters are far more
alIuring and dangeous to men.
I'm the fist place" says Miss Crute,
"the blonde is more conspicuous than
the brunette. She has the chance to
use innocent baby blue eyes, and
because Of the fact that we have
been taught-erroneously asso-
ciate adventuresses with dark hair.
the blonde is suspected of mali
cious motives.
Another thing about the blonde
vampire that 1 have noticed-she is
much more deliberate and convincing
in her work, without making appar-
ent her designs. Let a man tell some
one who loves him that he has met
a charming woman and that the wom-
an is, a blonde, and automatically
jealousy begins to be felt. In my
opinion, this shows that nature has a
real appreciation of the danger of a
blonde
