Judge Lamb of tie district court of
Missouri is something Of Il tiger when
it comes to handing the right kind of
a thing to a brutal man. The other

If domestic conditions get much
worse i'll the United States it may be
good policy to turn in and lick Mexico,
some are arguing. War would mean
unity here at hcme. Perhaps President
CarranZa is figuring that way. TOO.
He is having all kinds Of trouble with
rebels. but he knows that il Mexico
should get into war With the United
Sta ties. or any other power. the people
Of his country would flock to the stand
ard Of their government. This may
explain why Mr.. CarranZa is making
such outlandish faces at Washington.

The st. Louis Republic, the Oldest
newspaper west of the Mississippi
river. has been absorbed by its competi-
tor. the GlObe-Democrat. The increaS-
ed cost Of publication. due largely to
the increased cost of print paper. had
large influence in eifecting the sale.

papers as the old Republic find it neces-
sary to quit business the outlook is not
cheerful for the small fry.

One OF the most serious effects OF

homes. Many people OF modest means

CLUB RALLY


 boys and girls Agriculture Clubs of Woodruff county was held at the old Colonial home of MT. w. P. and Miss Haze Musgrove.
 Miss Hazel has been an ac. tive club member for severa years and is 9 talented young woman and gracious hostess.
 The day was ideal for the rally as a good rain had fallen in the night, settling the dust and cooling the atmosphere.
 Early in the morning the boys and girls from all parts of the county began assembl- ing in McCrory and at ten o'clock the merry party left in autos provided through the kindness of Mayor w. B. Fax es and the people of McCrory for the Musgrove home.
 Over one hundred children gathered on the lawn and had a delightful time playing games, discussing the Xmas Pig" and listening to story tell ing which seemed to give the younger members of the club more pleasure than any thing else.
 As many of the business men had come out for dinner the ladies and girls spread the snowy linens on the grass un- der the grand old trees on the lawn and placed the elegant dinner. Everything good to eat was there and an abun- dance of it, just such things as Woodruff county provides.
 Many of the delicious vi ands were prepared by the girls of the Agricultural Club cake, pickel and preserves be- ing among the number.
 Dinner being announced the crowd gathered around the table and grateful thanks to God for His wonderful gifts to the children and man was offered by Rev. H. M. Lewis,
 After feasting on the good things the boys and girls ad- journed to the house where more games were played and stories were told by Mrs. Mar garet Williamson, Home Dem onstration Agent.
 When the day was over the boys and girls declared they had never enjoyed themselves more.
 Among the guests who ex- pressed themselves. as having enjoyed tho rally was MT. Me Kell, district agent and Miss Mary Pierce, Home Demon stration Agent, Cross county.
 The club members, Mrs. Williamson, Home Demonstra- tion Agent, and MT. Carl Webb, County Agent, desire to express sincere thanks to M and Miss Musgrove Mayor Fakes, the good people of McCrory, for autos, w. w Raney for lemonade, The Home News and Woodruff County Democrat for notices

human military power is practically
as grca, as ever, and her 6SWOOOO
people have been schooled and hard
ened TO trials
II th, is a true picture OF condi-

whether the peace makers at Pari,
did not fail in the mos, important
part of their task II Germany is as
strong as ever, and as prepared To
fight to control the world as she was
in 1914. the efforts to make i, impos
slblc for her to again commit the
crime agains, nations which stained
her name from 1914 to .l9lS would
seem to have failed. Is it possible
that the sacrifices of men and money
