THE TWO cRAssHoPPERs

Riddle Katydid had neighbor who
was good deal like him., Indeed, a
careless person had to look sharply
to discover much difference between
them. But there was difference
There was, especially. certain way
in which one could always tell them
apart One had only to take the trou.
Bile to look at their horns.or feelers.
For Riddle Katydid had horns as long
or longer-than he was. But his
neighboT, who was known as Leaper
the Locust, wore his horns quite short.
Although they saw each other often,
Riddle and this neighbor of his were
not on the best of terms. The trouble
was simply this: They couldn't agree
on the question of horns. Whenever
they met they were sure to have a
most unpleasant dispute before they
parted.
Really, their quarrels were as bad
as those that Jimmy Rabbit and Frisky
Squirrel once had over the matter Of
tails. And many Of the field folk said
it was a shame that the grasshopper's
trouble couldn't be settled somehow.
Strange as it may seem, that remark
always made Leaper the Locust ter
ribly angry. And It enraged Riddle
Katydid as did nothing else.
The difficulty was that the field
people-as well as Farmer Green's
whole famly-had fallen into the lazy
habit of calling those two by the same
name. They spoke OF Kiddie Katydid
as 1.-THE Long-horned Grasshopper,"
while they termed his neighbor the
Short-horned Grasshopper'
ut s bad enough to look somewhat
like Leaper the Locust without being
tagged with the name Of Grasshopper,

rs RuILps THE SHIPS

Comment Is made in several news
4papers on the fact that the removal Of
the onices of the emergency fleet cor
poration from Washington to Philadel-
i rhia by Charles M. Schwab was ac-
5complished without the opposition
which developed when that step was
Recommended by Rear Admiral Harris

received no intimation that their son
was captive in Germany until a
monthold letter found its way across
| the Atlantic from Lieutenant Younkin.
Thus the news that Lieutenant Schaf-
er was taken prisoner. April 81 reached
his home May 20. The casualty list
from Washington has not contained
his name.
Possibly such long delay is neces-
sary. Possibly there is a reason for
Withholding from soldiers next OF
kin the single bit of information which
means more to them than bales of any
other sort of news. But il such a
necessity and such a reason exist they
are hidden much farther from the lay
mans ken than are most Of the facts
in connection with this war.
The. veil of profound secrecy which
has been drawn about facts by the de-
partment OF information and the de-
cidedly unenviable record which the
head of that bureau has made call for
thoroughness in the investigation of
Mr.. Creers official activities which the
house Of representative has promised
to make. It is to be hoped that the
result Of that inquiry will be to estab-
lish public confidence in the depart
ment. Certainly that should exist.
And If it is found that Mr.. Creel is
not to blame for the delay which the
casualty list suffers but that Mr.. Baker
or some of his subordinates is at
fault, that fact should be made known.
not only to Mr.. Creel but to the end
that some measure Of sympathy and
understanding may exist between his
bureau and the public which, in theory
at least, It serves.

the heart of 1t all, if we sustain i,
properly, will be this land that we SO
dearly love-"
He told of Secretary Bakers inter
esting experiment in Italy, where he
stood at the window of car loaded
with Italian soldiers and asked, How
many of you boys have been in
America % Almost half of them
sprang up, he said, and they hailed
from New York, from San Francisco
and from many other cities in be.
tween. They spoke the Americans
language; they counted him friend;
their love for the land of their adop.
ton was intensified by knowledge of
it's alliance with the land of their
birth.
Friendship is the only cement that
will ever hold the world together, to
be sure. And in the years to come
the friendship which common peril
and common faith has wrought among
the peoples of the nations which are
fighting together to free the future Of
the shadow of Prussianism will grow
more firm. The old world and the
new will be one: there will be, be-
tween nations and between peoples, a
degree of faith and confidence which
only the sharing of sacrifice and hard
ship may obtain. The world will be a
better place to live in when Prussian.
ism's mailed fist is broken.
But even this era of friendship can
not bring a millennium. Friendships,
sometimes, give away under pres
sure. There is vision Of perma.
nent International amity which some
men say they see as they glimpse the
future. They talk of universal dis
armament and of world Of nations
at peace forever after the present
war.
Their description Of this vision
sounds far too good to be true 1t is
not strange that it exists, in an age
of strife unparalleled in all the worlds
history. If the thirst-racked way
farer on the desert could paint the
picture he sees in the mirage 1t would
be wonderful counterfeit Of green
grass, cool shady ncoks and gurgling
brooks OF icy water. But still it would
be counterfeit. Always the wish, I'M
fettered, is father to the thought.
But all the truths taught by his
tory-ancient. modern and current
reveal the fatal weakness of the
dream of an unarmed world. The end
of the war will leave the survivors
mortals still, with the ambitions, abil-
ties, ingenuity of mortals and, alas,
the frailties, foibles and covetousness
of mortals, too. No nation can fail to
express the spirit Of the people who
are its component parts, and the
future, all down the long line Of gen.
erations to come, will bring much the
same people as those Of this day.
There will be wars in the future.
just as there will be commerce. There
will be national grievances, just as
there will be personal ones. There
will be need for armies, just as there
will be need for police. There will be
reasons for a program OF preparedness
in America that never have been rec
ognized before. May be. II the world
lives long enough, friendship will
reach the point at which nations can
disarm. May be, too, at some far
distant time, the Sahara will be an
agricultural paradise and Death Val
ley the home of flowers of untold
beauty. But now they are simmer
ing stretches of yellow sand, still in
their age of the mirage.

ADVERTISER KNOWN /. BY COMPANY HE KEEPS

From the standpoint of the adver- tiser," said a prominent Phoenix mer- chant, there are two classes of news papers, those which have the confi- dence of their readers, have standing in their communities, and those which do not have it.
 For several years I was advertising manager for a large retail firm on the coast and of two important morning papers l patronized only one, for the simple reason that I got results from it. and the reason I got results was it's standing in the community.
 "The average reader of the other paper rated it's news columns in this way They deducted 20 per cent for exageration, 20 per cent for misin- formation, and 10 per cent for the publishers bias. Tn other words, they rated and believed in the news col umns of the paper only to the ex- tent of 50 per cent.
 Now if my advertising appeared alongside news matter in which the public had only a 30 per cent confi- dence. it naturally followed that my advertising was likewise rated the same way, for, after all, the public be- lieves implicitly in the old and true
 
 and the company in which my adver- Using is found is equally a matter of importance, for I cannot afford to have it in any but the best of com pany.
 Tt is just the same as if I took a woman's suit that costs $100, and is worth every cent of it. When it Is put in my window, it's value shows, but | if I were to hang it in the window of junk shop it would not look like it was worth s100-and as a matter of l fact, it would be difficult to get one l tenth it's value unless it was shown in the proper atmosphere and sur- roundings.
 My advertising carried in the Re- publican brings me results, and I con- slider the standing in the community of this publication to be of as much importance to my business as the style, cut, make and general exclusiveness of the stock I carry.''

FIRST "CHAUFFEURS"
 WERE BRIGANDS
(Popular Science)

(Popular SC1ence)
 Here is justification for a bit of ,ur American slang. It seems that the word chauffeur means "scorcher."
 Over a century ago some particularly brigandish brigands lived on he tbor- derland between France and Germany To force ransoms from their captives these desperadoes grilled the soles of their victims feet before a fierce fire. So the countryfolk referred to the band as scorchers or, in French chauffeurs
 Not so many years back. when these same imaginative French were in need of a descriptive name for motor car drivers, they hit upon the word chauf- feur. Just how much "scorching" of a more modern kind these up-to- date brigands of the road indulged in is best divuIged by police records of fines for speeding.

MOVIE HOUSES WILL
 GIVE OF RECE|PTST0
 BUYS|M|LEACE BOOKS

Under plan just announced, mo- tion picture houses all over the coun- try are pledging themselves to turn over 10 per cent of their gross receipts for one day each month to the Smile age division of the war department commission on training camp activ- lties to be used in supplying smile age books to the men in training. This arrangement is to continue dur ing the duration of the war.
 The idea originated with Leonard Meyberg of the Clifford Film Corpora tion of Los Angeles, who secured the approval of the war department sev- eral weeks ago, and is now voluntarily touring number of large cities lln- ing up the motion picture houses to sign the pledge. The General Film corporation and a few other import ant picture organizations are already helping in the campaign. Eight houses under the jurisdiction of the former have signed the pledge.
 In as far as possible the smileage will be supplied to soldiers of those states and cities from which money is sent in. Smileage books are books of coupons which serve as admission to the Liberty theaters. They come in two sizes. one containing 25-ceNt coupons, and the other 100 scent cou- pons. Instead of buying a ticket, the soldier tears off the huber of coupons to the amount of the seat he wishes to purchase and presents them at the door.
 Requests by soldiers for smileage coming into the Washington office have heretofore been forwarded to the smiltage chairman in their respective states. MT. Meyberg's plan will not only provide great many men in service with an opportunity to attend the theatrical performances in camp but will greatly simplify the handling of requests which, with the new fund created, will be filled immediately di- rect from Washington.

Save and Buy More
 LIBERTY BONDS
A Dentist Makes a Helpful
 Suggestion

In this hour of our coun- try's peril it is necessary that every person back the government to his utmost. All must buy Liberty Bonds and con- tinue to buy them as long as the war lasts. For the man who has a large bank account or a big income it is no diff cult problem. To most people it is a matter of small economies here and there which permit
 him to save enough money to invest in Bonds.
