MY OLD PARo.

My old pard said goodbye to me And sailed away across the sea: He came not back for many a year. And yet l felt him always near Could hear his voice. could touch his
 hand
 And hear him say. T understand" And then one day across the sea My dear old pard came back to me; He did not grab me by the hand And tell me tales of that far land; We smiled and walked along the way As if we'd never missed a day. My old pard said goodbye to me And sailed away across Deaths sea And still we wander, side by side. With never a thought death can di-
 vide
 I hear his voice, touch his hand. I heard him say, ~i understand" And some day. by the twilight's rim, l shall come softly up to him And say some casual word that he Was just about to say to me; And we'll go walking down the way As if we'd never missed a day.

A PRINCESS AMONG
 WAR WORKERS

Many and fine are the war workers
 in the Warren district The newspa.
 per man has seen all of them; seen
 them in grand review marching on
 the street, seen them at post of duty
 and in the trenches and going over
 the top when they stormed his den
 without hesitation or hindrance. He has seen them working in the summer
 heat and the winter rain. Seen them
 on outpost duty and under heavy ar
 tillery fire and digging in to hold the
 line. No finer war workers in the
 world than these. In Red Cross room. in active campaign and in council. he has seen and admired and wondered at such resolute effort and undimmed enthusiasm. But the other day it was his lot to see a real Princess Pat among the workers for the war And this was Miss Jeanette Newman. one of the Liberty Girls, on her mission of selling the cunning and charming little woven wool and silk mascots she had made to raise her self-allOtted share of money for war work
 You see, Jeanette has adopted a lit tie French orphan girl, and this tiny ma amselle sent to her godmother from far-Off France one of these lit tie mascots, which is hung about the neck by a cord and is worn by the French kiddies now as a mascot and also as a token of the reborn glory of France. Jeanette hung the French favor about her neck and, while she the fuzzy little poilu at its end, she became possessed with the idea of making them. too, and selling them to raise her portion of S1O as a Victory Girl. We changed our front room into 8 factory" said Jeanette simply to the newspaper man, and surely we have had fine success in and selling the little French favors for the great American war, work. I changed my goal from S1O to $50, and I have nearly reached it now"
 Jeanette gave the newspaper man one of the mascots she had made and he will keep it always and treasure it highly, for is it not a token from small. fair hands to tell how brave and how helpful the American girls have been all through this terrible war. And then, too, it is a decoration, com Ing from this most successful young war worker; a token she had direct from her orphan in France. It is French decoration, not as heroic as he Croix de Guerre or the Legion de 1Onneur, of course, but a decoration, nevertheless. and with more than a title of sacrifice and of accomplish nent behind it. e.

Newspaper correspondents with the armies of occupation all write in the same vein of the German reception of these vic torious troops And study of these writ ings strengthen the belief that the boche was not beaten badly enough before the armistice was signed He is sullen still, if not full of pride He Is far from chastened. He looks and acts and seems to feel that he was the victim of circumstances and un- kindly fortune and not the loser on the field of battle Only fight to finish in the field could have taken it all out of Fritz. He is dangerous still, and with his kaiser still at large and full of plots, and his gov ernment in a chaos, Fritz is still danger ous and uncertain animal Anything may yet happen in Europe Since the world cooled there has never been such mixup and such uncertainty on the stage of the worlds affairs. Already the Poles and Slavs are quarreling. The Bohemains are mobilizing. The Austrians are running amuck The Russian bolshevik are still under arms. In fact, there IS peace and order in Europe only so far as the gleam from the allied bayonets may be thrown into the eyes of these motley throngs. As fighters the allied soldiers seem to be done with their task for the present, but they will be the busiest policemen that any riot ever called from the station house for the next year or so.

white germs were the more skilful fighters. They were also better led and kept their formations better. Driv. ing through the enemy wing the white germs turned sharply to the left and cut in behind the black center. Then the battle became a rout and a mas sscre. grim and great. The white germs bayonetted the black machine gunners at their guns and used them against the retreating hosts. Retain ing their same perfect order and align ment in ranks the white armies ad- vanced as one man all along the line and swept their black enemies away in broken clouds. upon the edges of which the white hosts continued the merciless slaughter.

TIRE END NO MAN CAN SEE"

The apples are ripe in the orchard The work oi the reaper is done; And the golden woodlands redden In the blood of the dying sun At the cottage door the grandsire Sits, pale, in his easy chair. While a gentle wind of twilight Plays with his silver hair A woman is kneeling beside him; A fair young head is pressed. In the first wild passion of sorrow, Against his aged breast. And far from over the distance The faltering echoes come Of the flying blast of trumpet
 And the rattling roll of drum Then the srandsire speaks in whis-
 per;
 The end no man can see But we give him to his country. And we give our prayers to Thee, The viOlets star the meadows, The rossbnds fringe the door. And over the grassy orchard The pink-white blossoms pour. But the grandsire's chair is empty. The cottage Is dark and still; There's a nameless grave on the bat tlefield.
 And a new one under the hill. And a pallid. fearless woman By the cold hearth sits alone; And the old clock in the corner Ticks on with a steady drone.
 William Winter.

MOONLIGHT ON THE DESERT.

  Tonight the moon lights all the desert
 sand; There is no sleep-just waking
 dreams for me; And far see the dim cold mountains
 stand Robed sentries, watching by this
 desert sea. Yet nearer now, close on the deserts
 rim, Red walls of rock stretch onward
 with the plain; There in the moonlight, and the
 shadows dim Weird forms are theirs, of castle,
 tower and fame Last night I saw them by the setting
 sun Celestial most they seemed close to
 the sky; The twilight came, and walls and
 towers were gone, Mist and the moonlight yelled them
 suddenly Above the rumbIing of the flying The lonesome coyotes voice I seem
 to hear; There is not on the land nor any main A cry so desolate, a sound so drear The clustering sagebrush in, the moon
 light seem Gray-coated fairies bidding us to
 stand ind share with them the deserts lure
 and dream, Or dance with them upon the desert
 sand. Three things I love beyond all things
 on earth; The purIle mountains. and the gray
 old sea, And the lone desert; since Creations
 birth, Somehow, they speak of Gods
 infinity. So. in the stiffness of the desert night. With wonder moon upon the desert
 sea, I watch the stars slide downward out of sight. And though alone, have great company. Yet vert thou with me in these silences, Where night and desert seem as things divine, 'Twere like a dream of some sweet blessedness, And doubled joys this summer night were mine. $. H. M Byers, Des Moines Register.

 many sensible men of moderate means and earning capacity in the old days, is needed by but few now.
 The price of everything in the markets of the world is governed by an inexorab'e law of supply and demand. A dull market means drop in prices as sure as the dusk follows the day But we spend and spend and thus keep the market lively and high. Of course the war brought about high prices in everything. European competitors turned their hand from production to de struction. Submarines destroyed thou sands of cargoes of merchandise. Produc- ton decreased and demand continued. But litle change can be expected for at least six months after the fighting ended But there Is sure to be downward trend next year And its extent will be determined in no small measure by ourselves We should use more common sense and less silly pride in the market places. Economy and self-de- nial are irresistible weapons against the high cost of living. And we should watch for the. profiteer, too, and we should spur the politician on to fight the profiteer for us The politician Is our servant and pub lie opinion can force him to act and thus keep the profiteer from becoming too bold Our government has done much lately to regulate prices and protect us from those pirates who fatten upon necessities of lite. It should continue to do as much or more in these first days of peace. And we should study conditions and talk and write and in- sist that this be done But in the matter of luxuries we can protect ourselves by not rushing in to buy at any price.
 More important to the average man even than the peace conference or the changes ot the world maps or the rise and fall of kings or the governmental control problem, is this matter of the high cost of living. County, state and national officials should study it. Economists and statisticians should work on it. Politicians should fight it. And the average man himself should do his own part, he and his household also, to hammer prices down to some just and reasonable basis. It is a mighty and many sided prob lem. This autocrat is still seated firmly upon his throne and the entire world pays him tribute.

The High Cost Of LiUing

While the war Is over and the strain of intense preparation somewhat relaxed and the enormous expenses of the government greatly reduced and all the undesirable kings dethroned and the gnawing of the submarines at the worlds commerce done away with yet there still remains an auto crat stern and harassing, with whom all of us must still deal. It is the high cost of living That old and worn and brass-bound excuse, the war has raised the price, can no longer be used by manufacturer, whole saler, jobber, commission merchant, farmer and retailer, yet the man in town working for salary, is still paying war prices for necessities and comforts, as well as lux uries We cast about for some one upon whom to lay the blame and we find the profiteer and the politician, and so we lay it upon both of them. And one cannot be far off the mark when he lays the blame upon these gentry. Their greed and their duplicity have become by-words. And yet we ourselves are not altogether free from blame and blemish in the matter of the high and still increasing cost of most things that we must eat and use and wear.
 Consider well the old days of low prices of everything, and low wages for labor. In those days the average man and his family were content to live much more simply than they are now. Luxuries then were only for the rich and comforts and convent ences for the well to do. People working for moderate wages had only the necessities of life, with comfort and a luxury and good time or two every few weeks. They saved up for an occasional outing or piece of finery or big meal.
 But in these days the average man and his family must live like the best. They must have a nice home, beautifully furn- ished and car and fine clothes and expens- i've foods and trips and all the pleasures and expenses that only the rich could have in the old days. And this is all right. It is queer or mean man who will not have the best he can for himself and his family. He works hard and he is surely entitled to play and also to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
 But, this demand upon every hand for nice things and for pleasures has steadily increased the cost of things.

As the price of fancy foods and silks and housefurnishings and fine shoes and clothes and pleasures mount higher the men and women in most mod crate circumstances think they must still have them and they buy and buy and take no thought of tomorrow.

Jerome: Among traveling men es- pecially there is bitter complaint that trunks are opened by force, if keys are not effective, in a search by train men for liquor, assumed to be part of the contents of about every trunk or grip that comes into Arizona from New Mexico or California. It is told that not only is liquor taken, but arti- cles or clothing and other valuables are in the loot. Several travelling men announce their intention Of making their next trip with bottles of whisky that have been "denatured" with prus- sic acid, and have asked that all train men be advised. The alleged footing is said to be based upon the fact that the transportation of liquor into Ari- zOna is felony, both under national and state laws, so the victims merely will get into trouble if they complain of the thieves are arrested. On this account, also. no formal complaints have been lodged with the railroad arrangements.
