OBSERVATIONS.
Concerning Nothing Very Serious
But Worthy of Thought.

The u. S. Government prohibits
the use of liquor among the men
in military service on the ground
that the strength, nerve and brain
power of the men must be con
served and maintained at the high
est degree of efficiency. This be-
ing true, it is high time that bust
ness and professional men, me-
chanics, and laborers be equally
safe guarded by state wide prohi-
bition. If the military man must
be free from alcoholic stimulant in
order that he may be 100 per cent
efficient, then the civilian should
follow the example of the man at
the front. Our vote will be for
Statewide Prohibition.
Nicholas Romanoft is getting a
touch of his own medicine in far
off Siberia.
The Russian men will have to be
fine soldiers indeed to be worthy
of the girls who are fighting in the
Battalion of Death.
Have you little food bill of
your own in your home, or have
you a little bill or two or three
that are seeking food in your
home?
1t is something of a bowling tes-
timonial that patent medicines
were introduced into China only a
few months ago and now the whole
world is at war.

would they ever arrive at the eX-
emption age?

THE ROOSEVELT DIVISION
Composed Of Spanish War Veterans
and Cowboys, Ready for
French Duty.


Dallas, Texas, April THE Roose-
Welt division for foreign service Is or
ganized and ready for war.
This was stated here by Colonel
Sloan Simpson, close friend of R0ose-
Welt and colonel commanding the
Texas Oklahoma regiment, F. Division.
Simpson said that his own regiment,
like all others In the division, was
fully Differed and manned and was
ready to leave on few hours notice.
While President Wilson and most
OF the nation have been preparing
for war, secretly, without ostentation,
Roosevelt has organized a complete
army division composed almost en-
tirely of men who have already seen
active service and who, therefore, will
need none Of the months Of prepara-
ton In concentration camps that has
been proposed for other volunteers.
my regiment is composed of Span
Iish war veterans and Texas Cowboys
said Colonel Simpson. Every man
In it can use a rife and pistol and
ride. They need little drill. We are
ready to mobilize within ten hours
after receiving the call. In ten days
the entire division can be modified
at any given point to such perfection
of detail have the colonel's plans been
brought"
Colonel Simpson said that he in
ferred that the Roosevelt division
would be accepted within week by
the president and would be sent al
once to Europe, probably to fight side
by side with Belgian troops In the
tragic strip" of Belgian territory still
held by the allied armies.
