Lie luk we
thought the Desk was pretty COZ
ceited, but then when the Desk ex
planned that If the Ink spiuttered an,
talked, and If the Desk creaked an,
chatted no one would pay much at
tention to the Black Board for in
stance, and the Ink Well agreed tina
he Desk was right.
"And why do I like attention?" the
Ink Well repeated.
"Yes, do tell me-" said the Desk as
it creaked and gave a queer little
groan.
Because" continued the Ink Well,
Il won't behave properly unless l re-
ceive it. I mis-behave most frightful-
ly if Children don't pay me atten-
ton"
"Oh | see," said the Desk. "And
then you make me suffer-"
do you really know what / mean p
asked the Ink Well.
"Of course" said the Desk. 'sIf
for instance a little Girl or a Boy is
pouring from the great big grandfath-
er Ink Bottle and is giving you some
thing more in the way of e nice Inky
fluid or drink, and if the little Girl
looks the other way, you SPILL

"And do you think it is very nice to

'.Ha, ha," laughed the Ink Well, las
if you cared whether | trickled down
over you or not. You are made Of
wood and you don't care"
'Yhat's So" agreed the Desk s'But
even if l am made Of wood like to
be vanished and made over nice and
fresh every little while. It's just like
having ones face washed"
"But People who have their faces
washed" said the Ink Well, "Cthough
I do believe they always wash their
faces themselves,) do so far more than
once q year. That is as often as you
get your face washed, or vanished"
"Well, I'm made Of wood, you see,"
said the Desk, 'and so / don't care.
Once year does quite nicely for me.
Besides it would be quite utterly use
less any oftener for you'd only spill |
over me and I'd get quite horrid look

That's polite of you, I'm sure" said |
he Ink Well, ''to say you'd look hor-
id with some Of my nice Ink on you.

but it doesn't add beauty
''Well, I won't quarrel with you,

Frank for N. G..

A proposition to extend the freedom
OF the mails to official matter of the
national guard of the various states
has been presented by to the house
by Representative Charles H. Dillon
Of South Dakota Inasmuch as the
guard has been drafted into the federal
service Mr.. Dillon can see no reason
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1917-06-30

why their privileges should be less
than those of members of regular army
organizations. In his bill the war de-
lpartment Is directed to furnish the
various units of the guard with the
necessary franked envelopes, and all
the provisions of the law Of 1877 re-
lating to the use of the frank by the
executive departments are extended to
the national guard.
A Worthless Job.
| One of the easiest ways to relieve the
great pressure of work on the inter
state commerce commission, in the
opinion of Congressman Joseph Walsh
/ of Massachusetts,, is to discontinue the
work of valuation in which they are
now engaged, and which he believes
will be absolutely worthless when
Ncompleted. Instead of increasing the
membership of the commission Mr..
Walsh thinks it would be far better
to dispense with the endless amount
OF labor involved in valuing the roads,
and allow the three members who are
now giving most of their time to that
branch of the work to devote their en-
ergfes to the more important duties of
the commission.
Roman Redivivus.
A stirring tribute to Italy and her
entrance into the war has been paid by
Representative Isaac Siegel of New
York. He considers remarkable the |
change that has occurred in the at
titude of our people toward the Ital-
ians. Men who have criticised the
Italian immigrant are now singing the
praises of his country. The congress
man claims that young Italians will
be found in the army and navy of the
United States in the proportion that
heir population bears to the rest of
he country.

NOTED DRIVERS BREAK JOURNEY
 BY YSTOP HERE

Just casually drifting across the continent, not attempting to make any records. and showing their wives the country. is the manner in which Bar ney Oldfied world famous racing driver. and Louis Chevrolet, also race driver and designer of the original model of the automo0ile which bears his name, holderT of the 110h miles Der hour world speed record in the Frontcnac which he built himself and general manager of the American Mo tor corporation, designate their tour from New York 10 Los Angeles which brought them into Phoenix yesterday afternoon.
 The two famed auto men left Globe at o'clock yesterday morning and arrived in Phoenix at 3: 90 o'clock yes terGay afternoon. 50 you see, said pidfield, we are taking our time, and didn't make any better speed than the stages It is possible you know, for a speed exponent to drive at a reason able rate when he wants to. Besides we stopped on a number of occasions to view the wonders of the Apache Trail. for although 1 have made the trip many times, it is the source Of ever-new pleasure to me. In my opn- ion 1t is one Of the most beautiful scenic drives in the entire United States, and have driven over virtual ly every one of them, including Vel lowstone and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado"
 In case there might be some chance to demonstrate the prowesS of tn. Frontenac car with which Louis Chev- rolet made the worlds speed recO~S iu New York on October 22, the caf has been shipped from one point to another along the course, so that Il could he obtained at any time it may have been wanted.
 We regret that we were unable (, participate in the races to he he.t here during fair week" said Nj Chevrolet We should have beer pleased to enter the Fronten'c. 4 it is, we are going to take the cal to california where we will endeaVc to show the people on the coast what real speed is"
 Nr. Chevlole built the Fron ena himself. and declares. that every CO ceiXable place where the light sturGF metal could be used, has occasioneo the use of aluminium. The enc inc + almost entirely constructed of this metal.
 Oldfield who raced here for thf first time 12 years ago, and who al intervals has been a frequent visitG. to this section since that time, de clalcs he has a warm spot in his heart for Phoenix. Tt was on the Oc- casion of his winning the desert race here in 1915 that he gained the tittlt of Master Driver which he has borne ever since.
 'l am a genuine westerner, by choice, which is indicated in my liv- ing in Los Angeles" said the speed king, "adn this fact is very materially augmented by my fondness for Ari- zona, and especially Phoenix.
 Mir and Mrs. Oldfield and MT. anc Mrs. Chevolet expect to leave early this morning for California. Bott Chevrolet and Oldfield except to take part in races at Ascot and other Cali farria speedways in the near future

SUCCESS CELEBRATED BY BARROWS COMPANY
 DINNER ID ATTACHES

With the closing of October, the Barrows Furniture company complet- ed the biggest month in the history of their business. The business for the month of October was far ahead of october of last year and set a new mark for the firm to shoot at.
 It is evident that much wealth is in the Salt River valley" said G. w. Rarrows president of the BarrowS, Furniture company. We have gone far ahead of any one month since we have started in business which was six years ago. and the people have been buying better grade of furniture and furnishings than they did six years ago. That is good indication of pros- perity.''
 The Harro~-s Fcrniture company burned down three years ago on West Washington St. The fire was $25 ,000 net less to the finn, but that did not stop them, they came back With more determination than ever and today they are one of Arizona's largest furn- iture houses.
 We are so pleased with the won der ful business We had in October and with the establishment of a new busi- no ss record, that We are going to give Il nner for every member and em- employe of the BarroWs Furniture com pany at the Commercial Cafe tonight

Mr. Chevrolet" is it's exceedingly light weight. It weighs but 1,650 pounds. This makes it easy on tires, which is a material advantage in any race. It was originally constructed for aero plane engine purposes, and has 135 horsepower. l believe that it will do better than 125 miles per hour on q straightaway, because I have had it up 10 11S miles on an oval track.
 The tourists say they have had good running all the way from New York in their Packard touring car, with the exception of the stretch of road be- tween New orleans and Shreveport La, which was very bad;
 eve could have come by the south ern route by way of Tucson" said MT Oldfield, but we didn't wish to leave the Apache Trail out of our itinerary. All of the rough roads we encountered were more than offset by the delights of the trip between Globe and Phoenix.

ID KEEP ON MAKING
 CHALMERS AUTOS

Malicious information that the Chalmers Motor Car company is to discontinue the manufacture of auto mobiles have been circulated through out the country, declares J. H. Roper of the local Chalmers agency. and for the benefit of the automobile public he believes the report should be cor rected
 The Chalmers company was never on more solid ground than at present" says MT. Roper, and those who are contemplating the purchase of a car may rest assured that they will al ways be able to procure new parts, and the co-Operation of the company, in case anything goes wrong with their machines"
 MT. Roper only recently entered the local field and feels. that the injustice done him and the company he repre- sents occasions a handicap which may be overcome with some difficulty.
 Why should the Chalmers people discontinue to make automobiles? ?" asked Mr.. Roper, when they are one of the most successful manufacturers in the United States? It is a ridic ulous assumption, but nevertheless there are some who perhaps may lis ten to idle gossip, or perhaps even in
