About forty visitors, gathered from
all parts of the country, helped make
up a crowd of nearly $50, who re-
manned until the last number on the
program had been finished.
Much enjoyed was the short talk by
A. S. Mills on the early history of the
lodge and the pioneer members. He
spoke of a number of the oldtimers,
many of whose names now appear on
the memorial tablet. Some of them
were men prominent in the early de-
velopment of Phoenix.

LETTER WRITING.

Avoid carefully such words and
stock phrases as BEG to acknowl-
edge" beg to inquire" beg to adj

Avoid "the same" as you would a

with" Herewith" is superf1uous.
Don't reply to letter, answer it.
You answer" a letter, and "reply" to
an argument.
Be wary Of adjectives, particularly
superlatives; very" great" tire
mendous," excellent" etc have mar
red many an otherwise strong phrase
and have propped needlessly many a
good word, all-sufficient in itself.
Don't forget that certain small
words are in the language for a pur-
pose. And" "a, the, are import
ant, and their elimination often makes

"'VIRTUE IT'S ONLY REWARD"

The Galena Gazette gives vent to the
amusing and vexatious side of news
paper making, telling how many folks
want the news but get "sore" if some
item is printed that reflects on some
one near them. No use, Mr.. Grimm:
no use, at all. In our experience we
have found that the public, or at least
a part of it, will scold if you, through
a sense Of charity leave out truth
full but discreditable story about some
person being arrested or appearing
otherwise in an unfavorable light
Then if you, in your effort to get out
q bright, newsy paper, treat every
body alike and print just what hap
pens they will knock you for being
malicious. In fact you'll get it which
ever way you jump. The answer is
to keep on doing the best you can and
take your chances. Virtue is it's ON
ly' reward"

LET'S NOT BE HYPOCRITES.

let us be fair about this German
situation even should we go to war
with the Kaiser and all his hosts. 1t
seems, belatedly enough, that we have
broken off with Germany for doing
just what England has been doing all
through the war. In other words, has
not England maintained a strict
blockade of the various ports through
which Germany might get supplies and
actually and absolutely prevented any
shipments of any sort from getting in
to the Empire? AS a matter of fact
did not England seize American ship
ments and hold them ia Liverpool and
other places? That was in the early
part Of the war before the other mar
kets were developed and American
shippers had found out how futile it
was to ship to the Teutons. Understand

EXCESSIVELY GOVERNED.

The political leaders, the small
politicians, the legislators, both
federal and state, have gone daft
with the idea that what we need
in our civilization is more law.
And the people, confused and mis-
led as we'll as misgoverned, have
fallen in with the idea 1t is a
grievous humbug and delusion.
Gov. Willis of Ohio, in retiring
from Office recently said:
'Ohio is er-officered, over-in-
spected, and the people and bust
ness of Ohio are being inspected
to DEATH"

true in Wisconsin, thanks to that

The incorrigible Bryan urges ''the
people to telegraph to President Will
son their protest against entering the
war!
Mr.. Bryan insults the president, who
has moved heaven and earth to keep
us cut Of the war.
The president has no intention Of
entering the war, if he can help it. Any
overt act Of war must come from the
other side.
In shining contrast to Mr.. Bryan is
his fellow pacifist, Henry Ford, who
has offered the government, in the
event Of war, the use Of his great plant
for munitiOn works, and agreed to OPP
crate it without profit to himself"
1t is not likely that the government
will have to avail itself Of Mr.. Ford's
patriotic offer. But hats off this time

"SOME" TREE.

1t was a profitable Eastwood tree that
George Kline and Anton Christensen,
pioneer woodsmen Of Pierce county,
Wisconsin, cut down the other day.
The tree scaled more than LOO feet
of lumber worth $3937. The stump
found fourteen skunks which they
sold for $72. In one Of the limbs was
built cOon's nest The woodsmen
captured four of the little ur-bearing
animals which Melted them a goodly
sum. In another limb they discovered
nest Of bees which produced good
sized tub Of honey. In all, their days

FROZEN WATER PIPES.

The National Fire Protection asso-
citation has issued the following warn
ing bulletin on the usual hazard Of
frozen water pipes:
MANY winter fires are caused by ill
advised attempts to thaw frozen water
pipes A burning match, torch or open
flame OF any description should never
be employed for this purpose To
wrap the pipes with oil-soaked rags
and set them on fire is worse than fol-
ly; it is incendiarism Pipes are al
most invariably adjacent to walls or
partitions where there is an ascend
ing current Of air to feed and spread
flame. Even if the flame does not
start a fire it's sudden local heat may
cause the pipe to break and flood the
premises with water.
Recommendation: Wrap the froz-
en- section Of the pipe with cotton
cloth and pour hot water upon it
(even if the hot water must be OBJ
tanned from neighbor) until the ice
in the pipe gives way. Rags on the
floor at the base or under the pipe
will absorb the waste water If the
freezing is too severe to yield to this
treatment send for plumber Reput-
able plumbers always avoid running
water pipes along outside walls,
where it is possible to do so. Proper
ty owners when building should look
out for this. It may save them money
and veXation"

now, this has nothing to do with our
individual sympathies about the war
1--WE all have them but is just common
justice and right. Let's fight whoever
we want to and break off relations as
we will, but still let's not be hypOcrit-
ical about it. Germany is endeavoring
to do just what England would do if
we had the temerity and desire TO
ship to Germany instead of the moth
er country Isn't it true?

The Iowa legislature is being food
ed with letters stating that women are
not strong enough physically to stand
the hardships of political life. Still,
it does look that if fair share of the
female population can cook, wash,
iron, raise large families of children,
and, in a pinch, take in enough work
to support the whole outfit, a few of
the stoutest might be able to crawl up
to the polls and mark ballot once
in two years.

There is a mighty good reason for
the loyalty shown by the foreign citi-
zen for the United States, Where in
the history of the world has there
been one single instance Of freedom
such as exists here? Where has there
been even 1.-THE of the opportunities
offered the cOmmoner for advancement
such as this country offers? What ma
tion regards all men as free and equal,
Obliterates cast and creed of every dis
tinction and holds liberty of conscience

supreme? In what nation can a man
