Cherish Your Friends.

Have you good friend? OF course
you have, every one has friends, but
every one does not hold the friend
ships they make. Friendship is too
rare and sacred a treasure lightly to
be thrown away. And yet many peo-
pie are not careful to retain their
friends. Some lose them through in
attention, failing to maintain those lit
tie amenities. courtesies and kind
neSseS which cost so little, and yet
are hooks of steel to grapple and hold
our friends. Some drop old friends
for new ones. Some take 0ffense cas-
lily at imagined Sights or neglects and
ruthlessly cut the most sacred ties.
Some become impatient Of little
faults, and discard even truest friend
ships. Some are incapable of any
deep or permanent affection, and fly
from friendship to friendshi. like
birds from bough to bough, but make
no nest for their hearts in any. There
are a great many ways of losing
friends. But when we have once
taken them into our lives we should
cherish them as rarest jewels. If
sights are given, let them be over
looked. If MISUNDERSTANDING arise,
let them be quickly set right.

BUILT FOR SHALLOW WATER
Peculiar Marine Institution on New
England Coast as Known in
1912 as the Camel.

In the year 1912 a queer marine in
stitution made its appearance In Nan
tucket and bore the name of camel.
These camels were really huge floating
dry docks for carrying ships over the
bar, where the depth Of water had
been gradually decreasing since 1880.
Being flat-hottomed the camels could
float in water very much shallOwer
than loaded ship required. They
were like two long, large boxes float
ing sid, by side and held together at
the ends by large iron chains.
The outer sides were almost. straight
up and down, but the inner sides were
curved, making when the two sections
were drawn together, an interior basin
just the shape of the bottom of a
ship.
The plan was for the camels to be
separated far enough to allow the
ships to be hauled into the basin be-
tween the two sections, then to be
drawn and held fastened together by
the chains, holding the ship between
them, so that the camels and the ship
could then be towed over the shallow
places in the channel to the wharf.

winning of the war, the latest being
the resolution of confidence in Pres
ident Wilson's program, passed BY
the national directors of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
These men are sure, as are Irish
men of common sense and far vision
all over the world, that when the war
is at an end the Irish problem will
cease to be problem. The quickest
way to the end of the war is the
quickest way to the solution of Ire
lands difficulties. And the only way
to get the war over soon is to throw
into it all our sides resources in men
and materials. The most effective
thing that Ireland can do toward
ending her troubles is to give the
utmost possible support to the allied
efforts for a quick victory.
The Sim Feiners remain recalcit-
rant because they have not the right
perspective to see this. Their in
herited hatred of England is so in
! tense that their minds will accom-
modate that and nothing else. If
their mental range had any consid-
cradle breadth it would show them
what sort of self-determination they
might expect from victorious Ger
many.-Spokesman-R

How Language Grows.

"Cad" and fad were at first only
localisms, struggling for existence and
getting slowly into use sporadlcally in
England, until at last they achieved a
peaceful penetration into the United
States; then they ceased to be mere
Criticisms; they won recognition into
standard English. A like fate has be-
fallen "boss" and "boom," the first
localsm Of New York descended
from the days when the Empire city
was New Amsterdam), and the second
spontaneous creation of the lumber
camps of Michigan. In time these
two words We're in common use all
over the United States; they were
then merely Americanisms; and after
a while they made their way into the
British empire, until now they bid
fair to be lifted into standard Eng.

DIRECT ANCESTOR OF HEN
From the Jungle Fowl Are Descended
the Feathered Creatures of the
BARNARD of Today.

Although there were no houses with
n half mile of the camp, we were
surprised on our first night to hear
cocks growing in the jungle (Yunan
province, tropical China), Roy Chap
man Andrews writes in Harper'S Mag
azine. The note was like that of the
ordinary barnyard fowl, except that It
ended somewhat more abruptly. The
morning we discovered Chanti-

The jungle fowl is the direct ances-
tor Of our harnyard hens and roosters,
which were probably first domesticat-
ed in Burma and adjacent countries
long before the dawn of authentic
history. According to tradition, the
Chinese received their poultry from
the West about 400 B. c., and they
are figured in Babylon cylinders be-
tween the sixth and seventh centuries
+. c. Although they were probably
introduced in Greece through Persia
there is no direct evidence as to how
and when they reached Europe.

OUTPUT FAR BEHIND
FAILED TO MAKE SCHEDULE BY
$4,000 TONS-STEEL SHORT

OTHER YARDS ALSO SHORT
Baldwin Imputes Conditions To Lack
of One Central Authority To Com
pei Action-Chairman Is Called
On to Explain to President.

Washington.-Hog Island shipyard
ran 10000 tons behind its schedule in
March. This testimony was given in
the Senate commerce committee by
George ]. Baldwin, vice president Of
the American International Corpora
ton, who is in direct charge.
He blamed steel shortage, which he
said continues.
Astounded at Baldwin's statement,
the committee directed it's chairman.
Senator Fletcher of Florida, to call on
President Wilson In company with
shipping board officials.
The principal request of the delega-
ton is to be that an absolute priority,
both Of manufacture and of transpor-
tation, be given to steel intended for
shipbuilding until the crisis is past.
Baldwin said other yards were nearly
as short of material with which to
construct ships as his own.
What is the cause of this?" asked
Senator Fletcher.
Lack of one central authority" re-
piled Baldwin. "In my priatve bust
ness, if something goes wrong, / can
put my finger on the man to blame.
In government business, we run
around in circle
Il cite that answer" declared Sena-
tor Nelson of Minnesota, "as proof Of
the Senate's duty to pass the Over
man BILL"
Baldwin declared the Hog Island
yard had become a model industrial
establishment, capable of turning out
ships faster than anyone imagined. .
He said this was one reason it was
hard to get material.
Officials have gotten the idea," he
said, that we have bitten off more
than we can chew, and they are send
ing us about half of the material we
ask.
1.-THE difficulty goes back quite a
way" he said. I'VE cannot get steel
which we nave ordered and our steel
supply men say they can't get the
coke to make the steel for us.
There seems just little bit of in
Fertia all along the line and lack of a
central co-ordinating force to compel
action. Whenever we have a real
complaint, we find that one gentleman
is always able to show that another
gentleman is to blame

dent know what is holding back ship

mously.

The committee ran into another
trouble considered equally as serious
as steel shortage. Testimony was in
troduced that shipbuilders along the
Gulf of Mexico were average wages
of only $2.10 daily and that housing
accommodations were wholly lacking.

AMERICAN BLOOD
VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
BY Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LElsH TAFT

There are some tremendous lessons
to be learned from the present status
of the world strife
One of the most momentous of them
all is a lesson to America and Amer
| icans-a lesson to you and me-a
personal lesson which we shall do
we'll to accept in it's fullest, personal
application. 1t is the lesson of IN
DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war
! The blood of American soldiers is
wet upon the trenches, and the base
hospitals are ministering to Ameri-
can wounded The shadow of the
Death Angel, F'made in Germany
has fallen across your threshold and
mine. 1t is no longer a thing de-
tached and apart from us. We are
in 1t. The blood of our sacrifice
reeks upon the altar. 1t is now a per-
sonal affair.
We-you and must back our boys
in the trenches, or forever cease to
claim rank and title as Americans
| The time has come when there are
but two classes in this country
Americans, who are for the war in
which our boys are pouring out their
blood, and traitors, who are either
! against the war or Indifferent toward
it. And Indifference is now, if any
thing, more despicable than antago-
nism.
There is one thing, at least, that
most of us can do to prove our aware
ness of the situation and our loyalty
to those who are fighting OUR battles
over there; most of us can subscribe.
in some degree, to the Third Liberty
Loan.
1t is totally beside the issue to
point out that these bonds are a good
investment. The investment feature
is not the thing in question. 1t may
require some sacrifice to convert pres
ent holdings into holding of Liberty
Loan Bonds. But as far as we can
manage it, you and l, if we accept the
great lesson of the hour and take our
part in the baptism of American blood
which is for the cleansing of the ma
tions and the rehabilitation of the
/ world, we must come across"-and
come quickly and with thankfulness
that it is given to us to do even so
little.

"YOU MUST WORK
5 HOURS EVERY
DAY FOR BONDS"
Prominent Woman Worker
Says American Women
Must Quit Being
Parasites

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip of New
York City, treasurer of the National
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, is
urging upon the women of America
definite and consistent war service.
In recent interview she said:
american women must quit being
parasites and learn to- give instead OF
always taking. An hour or two
few days a week is not enough for
any woman to give her country. We
must give full business day, an g.
hour day every day of the week if we
are to count for anything while the
war lasts"
Mrs Vanderlip outlined the splen-
did work which has been done by the
women of Great Britain and France
and congratulated American women
on having as their allies in their new
work such women.
eff we ever have another war;"
said Mrs. Vanderlip, women will be
in the trenches. What do the pa
cifists mean when they want us to
stop before our present job is done?
There is but one standard for
measuring a woman in this new day
of war. That is dependability. The
woman who can be depended upon is
the one we want. The one who can
not be counted upon is the one who
will be dropped forever. profess
sional spirit is the need OF Amerl-
can women, who have been parasitic
for too long. We must stop taking
and give Eight hours a day is
short day for this great work we have
before us. Two or three hours day
to the Red Cross is not enough for
any woman to give as her war work
1--WE must get as our personal point
of view the realization that we can
not have our cake and eat it too. We
must ask ourselves, in this war OF
equipment rather than men, who must
go without if we have the things we
have been accustomed to. Business
and pleasure cannot go on as usual If
we are successfully to conduct this
tremendous new business of war.
"We have forgotten, when we are
buying new clothes and eating the
wheat and sweets that we want and
riding in our motor cars, that we are
hampering the Government. We are
standing in the way of the Govern
ment's business which is war
when you want to spend dollar
for candy or unnecessary clothes (and
we buy more clothes than we need
because of pride) count that dollar
as a traitor dollar. If you save that
dollar and invest it with the Govern
ment you are serving the Government
doubly, for you are aiding in financ-
ing the war and you are releasing the
labor and materials needed for the
unnecessaries which you have de
manded formerly.
1--WE are fighting an enemy that Is
far from beaten. 1t has won every
thing it started out after. It's dream
of Mittel Europa is realized now.
Only a military victory can save de-
mocracy. We must sacrifice ourselves
as we have sacrificed our mon folks.
We must learn to hate that we may
effectively kill the evil thing that is
running not only the bodies but the
souls of it's people and threatens the
rest of the world"

Complete Financial
Mobilization Meaning
Of 3rd Liberty Loan
One in Every Six Must
Subscribe--Message of
Governor Hunt
BY George w. P. Hunt, Governor
@$ -.

BY George w. P. Hunt, Governor
of Arizona.
The floating of the Third Lib
erty Loan again brings to our at
tentionthe necessity for complete
mobilization of our financial re-
sources. The response to the first
two loans in Arizona was highly
gratifying and a splendid testimony
to the organizations that directed
the work. But those organizations,
untring as they are, cannot acieVe
the fullest measure of success with
out cooperation from every indi-
viduaI.
The Secretary of the Treasury
believes that to make the Third
Liberty Loan a complete success
one in every six persons must sub
scribe. This means that in Arizona
our showing must be even more
representative than before; there
fore, to the individual of limited
means-so vital to the success of
these loans-I would say that in
placing your expenditures at an ir-
reducible minimum you are not
only performing patriotic duty
but making an investment for your
self with a security of the highest
ideals the world has ever known.
We must show our belief in these
ideals by subscribing to the fullest
extent of our individual resources
to the Third Liberty Loan.
