Where the People
 May Have Hearing

The Greeks in 465 B. C., and Today
 kimon was the son of Marathono-. Machou Miltiadis and Egesipylen from Ihrace, the daughter of the King Olo- rou, his sister was Elpiniken who was married to wealthy Athenian Kallias. Not a statue nor portrait was in existence of kimon, but as Bloutar- chos described to us he was very ad- mirable
 hlmon was appointed by the Athen- lans as supreme general of the army and navy which consisted of 300 Trleres, and just as he learned that Iersau were heavily gathered by the EuridOndan River of Pamfelias he went and destroyed them entirely and on the same day just as he learned that about so Fenician ships were waiting by the Island Yypros to aid the barbarians, he went and also de- stroyed them. The Athenians were very much enthused over those vic tories and they called Kimon" Son of Victory and the peace "Kimonian Peace under the same glory and honor the allies today are admiring the supreme generals Foch and Persh- ing, who, on the same day they ham, mered the Prussians with their allies in five victorious battles and com l pelled the Bulgarians to submit and 1 begged the allies to grant them armis- tice to negotiate the peace at any price.
 The entire world recognized and realized the strategic ideas of those two supreme generals and also them selves know and feel the honor and pride of the entire world and much more, they are pleased and enthused because they absolutely know that all the civilized and progressive nations are back of them and especially the United States of America, sacrificing i everything to win this war an dde- stroy. Prussianism and militarism of the Huns" America is celebratin g again the days of the Fourth Liberty loan and 1 am convinced that every | America will sacrifice the last of his money to purchase a Fourth Liberty loan bond. I feel so every person of any nation is compelled to do his bit in order to accomplish and enjoy the splendid and glorious program of our honorable and glorious president Woodrow Wilson, whose object is to secure liberty in all nations and for that democracy which would be prac tically and governmental based on, as he called it, constitutional govern ment of the United States

What of the Sea !?

Is the German fleet going to out? It out met part of the great British fleet fought a running battle. beat it back home fast as pos sibe and made noisy claims of victory. If it then achieved victory why has not the German grand fleet made any sallies forth?
 With the gradual forced retirement of the Ger in Belgium and northern France it becomes and evident that the sea feature of the may be prominent in the final fighting Germany has strong fleet. not nearly strong the Allies of course and she is credited with having considerably added to that strength her ships have been in ports of safety. The further back into her tory she is forced the difficult it will become for her to continue her unrestricted U-boat warfare These pirates of the deep have largely operated from seized Belgian ports. The loss of these ports will correspondngly cripple this murderous warfare
 All the while the great navies of the Allies on the watch for the German grand fleet and when it comes forth, if it does there will be such a sea battle the world has seen. Of course the American navy growing stronger day by day, will do it's full part. There be doubt of the outcome for nothing Germany do will break the sea ring of steel about her shores

seemingly was deeply interested in the train butchers demonstration of the use of the razor.
 When the young man has run his course the Mexican broke silence. T have he said, "a razor of safety. I have received it of MT. So and So (naming a pioneer in the safety razor industry), fifteen years since" He then expatiated upon his own razor, sub stantiaily in this wise: 'Mr. So and So is the inventor of the razor safe, His razor safe is the father of all SO called safe raZors which since have tried to attain the excellence of Mr. So and Sos razor. Mr. So and Sos in vention is the only one I have ever known that could not be improved

and even an attentive nearer. The razor, the brush and a stick of soap were being offered for the insultingly small sum of dos reales and a few centavos. It was one of the most re- markable incidents of the struggle to make the world safe for democracy
 when practically everything had
 scared in price, that this razor could
 be sold for such a humiliating sum.
 The Mexican looked his surprise at

He wore an evidently expensive Stetson hat with band of local manufacture, horsehair in four colors none of which except white and black. and they are not colors, were natural to horse hair. His coat was of good material and had doubtless been made with the express notion of filling him. His trousers were of blue denim cut to fit anybody on earth. His shoes were heavy and coarse. He was further distinguished by his spectacles, heavy lenses surrounded by heavy gold rims. They were of that yellow, rather than copper tint which marks IA carat gold They were pure soft gold, such spectacle rims as can not be found awaiting a customer in the open mar ket
 He might have been either a sheep herder or sheep-king, for there are many of both in northern Arizona. He entered the train at Adamana and took a seat in the smoking car. In the for ward end of that and. all otber smok- ing cars, is installed the throne and impedimenta of the train-butcher. The occupant of this particular throne was a young and pleasing gentleman who, discouraged by unremunerative trips trough the long train, in the middle of the afternoon gave himself over to listlessness whence he sank into slumber.
 He evidently dreamed that he was merchant prince. He awoke suddenly | into indiscriminate commercial activ- ity, seized the first of his wares at hand. which happened to be tray of cheap safety razors, and rushed through the cars. He alighted upon the Mexican sheep herder or sheep king. a subject which no wide awake train butcher would have assailed with such equipment. The sheepmen had a long sparse mustache. but the rest of his face appeared to be smooth, natu- rally and perpetualy.

The Cleveland Cinema club which was founded and organized by Mrs. Elmer G. Derr of Cleveland, Ohio, is the only club of its kind in the coun- try. Its object is to promote better films and it aims to introduce films into the schools as part of the rou- tine work It. has already donated a card index of approved films to the public library and a motion picture section probably will be opened at the main branch for the benefit of the exchange men, exhibitors and the public. One of the best things it has done is to choose the programs for the picture theater at Cleveland's best amusement park.

After Waterloo, for nearly twenty years it was almost impossible to mention the name of Napoleon in conversations; the period contrasted in it's drabness the petiness with the catastrophe period which had just closed. Then almost suddenly in the thirtes, the bars raised for twenty years the romantic writers poets historians novel, ists let loose their imagination and their sometimes too vivid colors, the deeds which they declared had immortalized France.

kent his eye on the figure in the win

reached the end, when he struck
chord that seemed to float out and
culver around with sort of Fourth

changed position, and the woman lean

fist and shouted:
