THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE.

It is trite saying but the less true, that 1t IS the little things in life that count. Especially is this be- ing emphasized in times like those which now prevail It is the host of small savings that makes the aggregate large Recent dispatches tell of Hawaiian cOntr outing small silver rnketS for the good of the American air service At first glance this may seem trivial but not only does it show spirit of Sacrfcal patriotism, but the benefits derived from the plan may well be great.
 In England many women gave their jewels and mon- ey for the cause and others who not fortunate as to have these things also wished to have hand in the work. At length suggestion made that women con- tribute silver thmbeS and other such inkets that out of use
 According to the Seattle POstInteligencer after be- ing collected and melted down these trinkets bought the service seven motor ambuances, five motor hospital boats $OOO for hospital supplies, $1OOOO for disabled sailors agency 250 for Star and Garter fund and $50,000 for soldiers and sailors.
 Undoubtedly there must have been much sacrifice tailed upon of the contributors in the raising of this money but the service it accomplished was probably a sufficient reward for this.
 So the movement started by the women of Hawaii may well be the foundation of general movement among all American toward contribution of things that have ouved their usefulness and have been stored away out of sight and out of mind There must be millions of dollars worth of these articles and while they may pos sess valuable association for their owners there is much good that they do if they only applied in the prop CT place and manner - Fairbanks Citzen)

VANISHING BERNHARDI, TOO!

German having been banshed from most of the Amer can high schools partly because students boycoted the language and partly because boards of education voted it down it proposed to banish from public libraries all German books particularly those of mitarstic charac ter And among these books is Bernhardi's "The Next War"
 Could stupidity go farther? When the war broke out most of the world ncreduOus over the reports of German methods and war ambitions In order to show the world what Germany had been planning the British government printed many thousand copies of Bern hards book and distributed them in this country Other thousands of copies went to other neutral nations.
 With the exception of vOn Bethmann- Holweg's n- famous phrase, "a scrap of paper" Benhards book did more service than anything else for Great Britain and the allies. Later Treitschke Netzsche and other phos Ophers read but they had nothing like the vogue of Bernhard who wrote from popular point of view When the German government claiming that Russia or Eng land started the wart did it's best to suppress Benhard and he wrote long articles to the American press trying to explain away his book saying that the translation did him injustice, and seeking in maze of words to neu traze the perfectly plain blunt statements his now ia nous book

SEA GJLLS ARE THE

BOSTON. Feb. 9. - A plea for the protection of sea gulls, described as the best submarine detectors in the world, was made today by Edward H. Forbush, state ornithologist, at a le- gislative hearing on bill providing for the etxension of the closed SeasH', on water fowl.
 "Airplancs see the gulls and signal for the destroyers to come and tlkc care of the submarines" Mr. ForbuSh said. "Thc gulls follow slbmersibles to pick up refuse, and so they ase sure to detect the presence of such craft"

"Liberty's Torch"

"Liberty's Torch" is the name of the
pretty patriotic play to be presented
by the children at Chautauqua this
season. The supervisor who comes
here to look after that important part
Of the work has had special training
and is experienced in this line of act
ivity. The children will see that every
body knows all about "Liberty's Torch"
before Chautauqua is over.
Real Singing in "The Climax"
why doesn't he play the violin ?"
was common remark during the pro-
duction of "The Melting Pot" when the
young musician put the instrument to
his shoulder but never played a note.
Well, the play wasn't written that way.
But, "The Climax" is different. 1t
requires a very fine pianist and
very wonderful singer to properly take
the parts. The Homer Chautauquas
were particularly fortunate in securing
Miss Charlotte Leslay to take the part
of Adelina in "The Climax" She
played the title role in "Pocahontas."
She then was cast for her first prima
donna role in "Lil Nose" part that
won her recognition from the firm of
klaw and Erlanger and she was en-
gagged by them to appear in the all
star cast of Ben Hur. She has sung
in London and appeared in David Bel

while 8 percent Of hogs and percent
of cattle under federal inspection are
condemned as unfit for food. With
a mortality from tuberculosis that
is decimating the human family, and
in this country where less than half
of the meat consumed is subject to
any sort of inspection, we are facing
a problem that must eventually be
met by drastic measures. Horse meat
is easily digestible, is wholesome and
safe.
In our large cities the high price
of beef, pork, and mutton has made
their consumption almost prohibitive
for the poor, while pneumonia, tu-
berculosis, and other diseases stalk
in the wake of the insufiiciently
nourished. We eat the cannibal whale
and shark, oysters and turtle with
nothing wasted, the brains, livers,
lymph glands and intestines of cattle,
sheep and hogs. Consistency demands
that we do not object to the eating
of horse meat by those who want it,
in the interest of food conservation

MIR WILSON IN THE PEACE
CONFERENCE

President Wilson's decision 10 "l-
tend the peace conference has drawn
earnest protests from sources tna'
have hitherto been very friendly 10
him. In another column OF Inc IN
te,,irencer is presented an editorial
from the New York Times, in when
sarcastic references are made 10 tue
president's unhappy faculty for vacil'
lation. The lntelligencer does not
believe that the peace conference re-
orires the personal attention OF the
President. The interests OF the
limited States in European territorial
questions are naturally limited. anu
there is no good reason why We should
seek to extend that interest artinclalIF'
II is not our place to set ourselves up
either as arbitrators or as dlctators
of the worlds future. On the con-
+rary the weichtieSt voices IN the
neace conference very properly belong

have made the greatest sacrifices anu

For Mr. Wilson. the President OF

at a distinct disadvantage. On account
of his nigh position. he will oufrank

AS TO WHITE FLOUR

The Rocky Mountain News protests
against what it calls denatured -four.
The white -four which we buy from the
millers, and which is used in most OF
the bread that is baked in our oak-
cries, or our homes, has been deprived
of the musk, which contains certain
elements essential to life. Unless
these elements are supplied in other
foods, the body is weakened and ply
steal resistance lowered. Probably
we would all be healthier people II We
lived more strictly according to
dietary rules. The American public
has demanded white bread because It
likes its appearance, and douo1'ess'
also because it likes its caste. Mil
lers have furnished the white -four
because there was a demand for 1t.
So long as we are able TO supply
necessary elements from vegetables It
is not likely that the American pubic
will deliberately 20 back TO the whole
wheat -four. Whole wheat bread is
nourishIng and those who like it can
always get it. but those Of US who
want white -four. want white flour. and
we don't think even our rapidly grow
ing paternalistic government is likely
10 prohibit enjoyment OF that luxury.
