PEACE: A CHILD'S PARABLE

Once upon a time a burglar enter
ed a house. He stole some money.
The woman of the house heard a
noice and got up to see what had
caused it. The burglar shot her and
escaped. The shot awakened the hus-
band, and he pursued the burglar
down the street. During his fight,
the burglar emptied every chamber
of his revolver shooting at the man,
but missed him. Finally, the bur-
glar was overtaken; and the men
fought. They fought a long time,
blow for blow. The burglar was get
ting the worst of it. He said to the
man, "Look here, be sensible. What's
the use of this fighting going on any
longer? Let us have peace. You go
your way and I'll go mine"
The man replied, "You stole into
my house. You shot my wife. You've
got my money in your pocket.
The burglar said, "Your wife should
have kept out Of my way. I won't
give back the money. It's mine. It's
in my possession. You cant take it
from me. Therefore, what's the use
of us beating each other up? Be
sensible. Let us have peace between
u.s."
The man swung a terrific blow ov-
er the burglars heart, and the burg
lar fell dead.

CUT OUT FOURTH MEAL

Three square meals a day is en-
ough for anybody, even in this bless
ed land flowing with milk and honey.
Now that the people of the United
States must feed not only our AL
lies but also the bulk of our former
enemies, any and all eating between
meals should be cut out. "The fourth
meal is just as unnecessary as the
fifth wheel of cart" says Herbert
Hoover. "It is not necessary for
health is it necessary for social pur-
poses, particularly not at the pre-
sent time. The food administration
realizes that serving refreshments
adds to sociability but it believes that
any function such as theatre suppers
afternoon teas or evening receptions
where consumption of sandwiches.
cakes and sugar makes an unnecessa-
ry waste of food stuffs, is unpatrio-
tic and a clear waste of food and

AMERICA.

When, in 1910, Frank Savicki, late
of Wilma, Rus. stepped ashore at Ellis
Island, New York, immigration Off
cials were in some doubt about lett
ing him and his sister in. They might
have been sent back to Wilma had
not Franks uncle arrived on the scene
with proof that he was able to care
for them and borne them off to their
new home in Shenandoah, Pa.
When in April, 1917, America went
to war Frank Savicki, went too and
not long after.
The embattled months went by.
Chateau Thierry was lost and won,
and Frank Savicki, late Of Shenan-
doah, Pa, was prisoner in German
hands.
Followed seventy-six days of brutal
captivity, and at the end of the seven
six, a thoroughly wet figure in rem
nants of olive drab climbed out of
the waters of a little half-German
stream and set foot on the dry and
hospitable ground of Switzerland.

BEWARE THE HUN

Beware of hun propaganda. Since
this nation went to war the kaiser u
agents have been busy trying 20
create hostile sentiment toward Eng
land. For unnumbered years pre-
cious to that time they were work
ing at the same game. Now, after
the war is over, they are at it harder
than ever. The man who seeks to
divide the English speaking people
of the world is hun and a traitor
of the worst stripe and should be
treated as such. 1t is true that we
fought Great Britain at one time, but
it is equally true that the king of
England at that time was a Prus-
sian. It is equally true that France
at one time fought Great Britain. The
wounds caused by the American Re-
volution have healed as have the
wounds caused by the Civil War.
Those who would reopen those wounds
in the interest of kaiserism and hun
ism are unworthy to live in the land
where English is the recognized Ian
guage. The Advance Standard is go
ing to fight any and all such anti
British (English) propaganda to the
last ditch. 1t is hun propaganda pure
and simple, and any newspaperman
conducting an English (Which is Am
erican) language newspaper wh
won't fight it is in the wrong busl.
ness and ought to be selling peanuts

but any one of these events may be
made to take the place of one of the
three regular home meals. In France
and England no meals are served af-
ter nine o'clock at night, and public
eating places are closed for a definite
period during the afternoon. If the
French and English who have suffer-
ed the hardships of more than four
years of war can do this, the Ameri-

YUMA MAYS NAME
 MAY bE CHANGED

over in Yuma there is a certain popular cafe man who stands in dan ger of having his name changed by the war Ham" Elliott is his moniker, and if you should happen to ask any old timer Why Ham," he would doubtless reply that Ham" was short for 'Ham-and" and that the nickname was first applied as a deft compliment to the matchless mastery with winch Elliott prepares ham and eggs.
 But now, alas Cor should we say Allah or Seelah or somethingO Ham is threatened with being known to the world at large as "Spud'' Elliott, and this is the reason whyfore:
 Elliott is the lover of the humble potato. He eats potatoes with every meal and he serves them to his cus toners with every meal and in just 1926 different ways.
 When the food administration sent out a suggestion to the restaurant men that they feature potatoes for one week to relieve the surplus in this state. then on hand, Spud Elliott was there with bells on. Spuds for break fast, spuds for dinner and spuds for supper too. And his patrons ate them greedily for they were served up in the most soul satisfying dishes imag- inable.
 Then the food administration said Cut down on whea- and use potatoes as a substitute for flour" That set Spud Elliott off on another whirl of activity, thinking and experimenting with recipes for potato bread. potato rolls, potato cake. potato mullins. po- tato Waffles and potato what-not Tnaz- tho+ ha To Ia- licious corn starch pudding from po- tatO starch.
 That the fame of Spud Elliott is about to spread over the land is made known by the fact that 340 recipes which he has been sending in to M. T. Grier chairman of the hotel and res- taurant division of the food admins tration for Arizona, have been for Warded to John McE. Bowman, head of ] the national division.
 Grier. who is responsible for the statement that Spud Elliott's recipes are bound to become famous through out the spud-consuming world. sup ports his claim with a letter from ! Bowman which reads:
 We acknowledge receipt of yours ot May containing letters from Mir Ham Elliott, author of 1026 different ways of serving a potato. We judge that AIr. Elliott is making his wor6 good and we look forward to getting the other 1901 recipes. MT. Elliot [ seems to be very patriotic citizen and if the writer were in a position tc visit Yuma's premier cafe, he woulc 1 make an effort to try at least all O the D delectable confections described in the communication just >reeelVeu.

MINNOWS ARE FOOD
 FIT FOR THE GODS
Columbia Record)


 4 correspondent asks tine Indianap- olis News, Are the little fishes known as milnows good to cat?" and the eIudite editor gives this pro- found discussions:
 We do not know of any reason why they should not be edible. They arc of clean!y habits. free from inn purities and though small. quite mea1y. Old Izaak Walton, in his Angler describes the minnows and says: Tn the spring they make of them excellent minnow tansies, for being washed well in salt, and their heads and tails cut off and their guts taken out and not washed after, they prove excellent for that use. that is being fried with yolks Of eggs. Tn flowers of coWslips and of primrose and little tansy thus used. they make a dainty bit of meat. The popular English dish of whitebait is much like minnows. but it's cdibility all depends on it's preparation and manner of cooking. The minnoW should not be despised as an article of food merely because it is so small What Izaall Walton called a tansy was an old fashioned name of a little stew or meat pie"

In the prologue of The Unbeliever," :" the remarkable war film that is to be shown at the Columbia theater on May 29, 50 and 31 to stimulate re cruiting in the United States marine corps. soldiers are shown crawling on "No Mans Land" at night, at work cutting wire and engaged in other dangerous duties which they are called upon to perform.
 Rockets go up, and there are star shell and flares and other pyrotech- nics that light up No Mans Lana and signal for artillery fire and for cooperation on the part of other units. The prologue lasts for some time and is declared to be extremely interesting.
 The theater during the three days engagement is to be decorated with war exhibits brought to Phoenix for this occasion. All the members of the local recruiting station will take part in the prologue.
 The film "The Unbeliever' is one of the most notable films made in many months. It tells the story of a brave and chivalrous United States marine and a young Belgian girl enmeshed in the horror and tragedy of the great war. These roles are taken by Raymond Mckee and Maj garet Courtot..
 Supporting these principals art Darwin Kerr. well known as q player in the early military dramas; Eric von Stroheim, and officers and men of the United States marine corps. A touch of realism and unquestioned military authencity is given to this great production by the stage setting of the marine war encampment al Quantico, Virginia, and by the parti- cipation of a regiment of marines commanded by their own officers.
 The plot of the story contains every element of interest, the appeal to na- tional pride and patriotism, the de velopment of a mans soul. friend ship that regards self-sacrifice as 8 privilege and a great and chivalrous love story.
