only ruins remain and $4,000 homes
have been destroyed. More than l.
100000 horses, cattle and hogs have
been taken and all agricultural mach
inery and equipment removed.
For a part of Germany's crimes no
reparation is possible. For the other
part it can and must pay. No one,
not even bleeding France, asks more
than justice; the sum total of the debt
that even-handed justice will compute
is enormous, but no soft and silly
sentiment should stand in the way of
exaeting full payment. Ii is due from
the German people, for though the
kaiser may have started the war, the
people did not protest, but cheered
him on his course until failure came.
With the cessation of hostilities the
Red Cross is called upon to combat n
new epidemic, originating this time
within its own ranks. The affliction
is known as "I'm thru-enza."
The initial symptom is sense of
lassitude-a feeling of whats the
use? It's all over. Why should
work ?" Steps are being taken to iso-
late the gern,-also those who are
carrying it.
The epidemic is not widespread;
nevertheless an effort is being made TO
stem its advance.
"Cold feet" is n marked symptom.
Another indication of the presence
of the germ is forgetfulness (that the
boys are still over there).

parently turns to stone.

Third Liberty Loan
BY Celia Louise Crittenton

Seriously considered, with insight
and understanding, the Third Liberty
Loan means but one thing-stabiIity
The unification of Government and
people.
The much or little which the peo-
pie place at the hands of the Govern
ment, proportionate to what they DOS
sess, will have behind it not alone
the voice of the people but as well
the united will and force of the peo-
Die against a war which threatens to
angulf the whole national family.
We are being just to ourselves if
we place our money where it is safe.
And we are living up to the dictates
Of our national conscience, which also
is our family conscience
The most safe and reasonable in.
vestment possible is with our Govern.
ment. For the Government is but

tying glass.
If we were born in the United
States we love our birthplace. 1t is
home. If we were allowed to adopt
he United States that offered to us
more than our depressing birth. coun.
try; offered to us more freedom. a
wider scope, then through that adop-
ton we have gained a Privilege
worthy of even greater devotion and
love.
So, let us all be glad that a Third
Liberty Loan is pending. 1t is a good
sign that we trust ourselves, that we

Love Bug Is Found.

City magistrates are accustomed to
meeting all kinds of bugs" but never
before had the magistrate sitting In
Jefferson Market court, says New
York correspondent, encountered the
'lOve bug" until recently. Standing
at the bar was modest looking fell
low who admitted that more than 200
pretty girls were after him. All want
ed to marry him, he told the court.
They loved his eyes, his smile and him.
In fact, worshipped him. And hinder
ing his progress, he complained, was
one woman, for whom he earnestly
sought warrant for arrest. Then,
free from the eyer-Watchfpl eye of her
who was bound to ruin his life, he
would go out, love them all, marry
them all, give them all homes ON Fifth
avenue, repay them for the love they
gave him. From behind small pocket
mirror he told his story. A fake of
dust on his cold nose he wiped away
with a lavender handkerchief And
could the judge do anything for him2
In the observation ward at Bellevue
the man at latest reports was doing
nicely.

the office where she worked, the old
man sat at his desk and transposed
the notes of her songs from his brain
to the stated paper on his desk.
He dotted in notes here and there,
making changes adding a hint Of
technique here and sense of rhythm
there. Each page as it fiuttered from
his pen held a dainty score of music
! notes that generati0h to come would
still be singing. They were exquisite
bits of melody, some for the voice and
others for the violin.
The old man pOndered hour upon
hour as to the identity of the girl
whose voice gave to his listening ears
those wonderful notes.
In his own lifetime he had COM
posed songs that would live and live
and re-live, and now he was weary.
He had drained his own cup of in
spiration to the dregs, and now this
girl in the room above had flung into
his soul snatches Of melody that it
were crime to- have lost.
He wondered from whom she had
inherited that gift Of original herding
Of notes.
"TheTe has been music somewhere,
everywhere about her, and yet hardly
think she is conscious that she has
composed score or more Of wonder
ful songs"
And because David Ward was r0-
mantle old man, with soul filled to
the brim with fantasy, he pOndered on
a picturesque way in which to ac.
quaint the girl with her own gift. He
| had the songs for the voice bound in
one dainty volume, and those for. the
violin in another,
And while the old man pondered
Mildred, too, was worrying her brain
and becoming wistful-eyed and trou-
bled.
Il just can't stand 1t any longer"
she told herself, tearfully. 81 must
make some money. Everyone else is
heipipg the soldiers, and don't even
have five dollars extra a month to
help with"
That evening her song was sad; so
sad that David Ward swept moisture
from his eyes as the notes stopped
abruptly in the room above.
Something told him that sobs mad
choked the songbird's notes.
An hour later when the sad little
melody was down on paper, David's
door was flung open and his big
nephew bounded in, wonderful smile
on his face and his shoulders erect.
He was wearing khaki.

"HOGGING TOURIST TRAVEL"

Under date of September 10. Judge
A. G. Grossman of Quar- tzslte, writes
to the Palo Verde Valley Review as
follows:
There is a we'll organized scheme
now on foot, and the job is put up at
Parker, to turn all the tourists and
automobiles in their direction. The
scheme has more or less succeeded
and unless the people Of Blythe and
Quartzsite work together this scheme
will turn what automobiles we now
have entirely over the Parker and
Needles route.
These Parkerites have their hench-
men scattered along the railroad at
Wenden and WiCkenDurg to turn
them from the Blythe
highway. They tell them that near
Mecca it is almost impossible to force
"a car through. Complaints OF miss
representation nave become so mum
erous that the people from Salome
. have written to US about the matter.
Tourists headed toward Blythe have
stopped here and told us how these
henchmen have tried to inrn them
toward Parker
''Of course, Mr.. Lynch. you must
realize that it is the best interests OF
the people living along the Quartz
site-Blythe highway to get in ana
stop this pestiferous nuisance. There
is nothing that adyertises our section
more than this overland travel. The
tourists are the people who tell thei"
friends and acquaintances what they
see on this great scenic highway with
its advantages in minerals and farm
products, so it is naturally our duty
to work together for good roads and
make every effort to hold and turn
all auto travel to this Blythe quartz
site highway"
= Is it at all strange that the people
of this locality should pull for tha
Parker route when the QuartZsitc-
Blythe folks have never even once
isked us to pull for their side? This
fact of the matter is, the Parker
route is the best and the tourists
know 1.-THE route speaks fol
itself'-so we agree with the CORES
pondent perfectly when he says that
there is nothing that advertises 10
'eality more than its overland travel
thattt'the tourists tell their friends,

they all come this way. To the state

Red Pine.

The red pine (Pinus Resinosa), cali
ed in some parts of the country the
Norway pine, is not so gigantic as the
white pine, its common height being
only from so to 80 feet although it
sometimes reaches 100 feet in the
woods of Maine. 1t Is very hand
some tree, nevertheless, particularly
when 1t Is young. In fact, it is one of
the most ornamental of the more COM
mon evergreens. 1t Is to be founA
from Newfoundland south to Pennsyl-
yania, and west through Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Nor
way pine has reddiSh-brown trunk,
which is marked by fiat ridges on old
trees. The needles Of this variety are
found In pairs as rule, and are from
five to seven inches long. They ara
dark green in color and almost
straight. They are sharply pointed,
and the inner surface is tlattish, @

Mildred lifted soft air as she
wound her great coils of cOppery hair
about her small head. 1t framed her
oval face like FURNISHED braid Of old
gold. Her eyes were wistful and her
song dropped, like a tiny bird that
fiutters wearily home to the nest.
Sometimes the quaint airs that Mil
dred sang were light and happy; then
again they told of a heavy heart that
lOnged for rest, and yet again there
was tremendous grandeur in her song
as if some great emotion held her in
it's grip.
Mildred could not have repeated the
quaint airs that her heart fashioned
in her brain. They were little snatches
of expression in song that were as
spontaneous as they were tuneful
She did not realize that her notes
were herding themselves together iD

sentiment and harmony.
