1t would be, as a soldier who missed
his chance to go abroad suggests, a
good idea if President Wilson, the
Secretary Of War and the Secretary
Of the Navy would wear on their coat
sleeves the silver chevron indicating
the man that did not cross the ocean
and fight. The man who did cross
and did his full duty is entitled to
honor and gratitude. The man who
was ready to go willing and anxious
to fight for his country, but who could
90 only If the order came, and who
was not sent abroad, is also entitled
to honor and respect. 1t is not his
fault or wish that kept him from fight
iry ut the decision of his superiors.
Tne man who went abroard was
sent abroad The man who stayed at
home was kept at home. Both were
willing to go and wanted to 90. What
makes the young men so bitterly dis
.contented in camp now is the know
ledge that their chance to fight for
their country has gone by.

Old Maids Party.

Whether it was due to scarci-
ty OF young men, or whether with
advancing years the young ladies
are harder to please, a party OF
twenty-four young ladies assem-
bled at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
V. c. Proctor last Saturday even
ing for dancing, cards and music.
Half of this number were cor
rectly attired as young men, eth
er in civilian. military or naval
dress, and they made a noble
band of knights errant in attend
ance on the young ladies, even to
the extent of taxis and flowers.
1t is said they had a royal good
time, and were abundantly fed
by the hostess. We are wonder,
ing if Mr.. Proctor was gracious
enough to invite the young men
out in the kitchen to join him In
a smoke.
AS a retort courteous to this
affair Mr.. J. H. Gibson gave q
stag party to the young men at
his home, the same evening, and
entertained them with cards and
refreshments with the able as.
sistance of his mother.

Mad Dog Scare.

Last Tuesday afternoon a dog
suddenly developing vicious
temper bite three school children
before his career was ended by
bullet from the revolver of the
marshal. In order to ascertain
whether the animal was afflicted
with rabies, his head was ampu-
tated and sent to a laboratory at
Phoenix for examination. The
town has always been infested
dogs that are permitted to run
at large, Notwithstanding there
is an ordinance that dogs loose
on the streets shall be killed by
the police. The trouble seems
to be that everybody is in favor
of having everybody's dog killed
but his own, which is a special
family pet, and every dog killed
by the marshal makes him an
enemy for life. The result is
that very few dogs are killed,
and the town is being rapidly
overrun. All the dogs in the
town are not worth the worry
caused one of the three families
whose children have been bitten.
To start spasmotic raids on the
dogs is not the way the situation
should be handled. 1t should be
the steady, continued practice to
kill every dog as soon as it ap-
pears at large, without regard to
the breed, it's size, or it's owner.
In short time owners of dogs
will learn they must keep their
pets at home or in leesh.
