1t has been recently called to the
writer's attention that there are a
number of knights living in Maryville
who have moved here in the past
year or two, but who have taken no
steps toward transferring their mem
bership and placing it in our Lodge
To all those, he is voicing the sentl-
ment of the Lodge in calling the fact
to their attention, thus pointing out
the error of your ways, while eX-
tending you the glad hand Of
brotherly love and friendship and
bidding you welcome to our midst
where we can all do noble things, not
dream them all day long; and so,
make life, death, and that vast for
ever, one grand sweet song"
Remember, the Lodge is in session
Tuesday evening of each week at

CALIFORNIA RETURNS
FAVOR TO FRANCE
Sending Fruit Trees to Rehabilitaie
Devastated Orehsrds-Franee
Sent First Fruit Trees 10
California in 1856.

Many minor instances. as well as
those Of greater Importance. indicate
The friendly relationship between
France and America.
when the Germans made their re-
treat across northern France. they fel-
led every fr-;t tree in sight. Nowhere
else could the French people look for
trees with which t, replace this loss
except in California, the only place
where their rare trees have been sue
cessfully transplanted. Thus, Califor-
MIA fruit men are now engaged in gath
cring together 100000 two-year-old
French prune trees for shipment to
northern France. where they are to be
used to rehabilitate the fields and or
chards devastated by the Germans.
They are also preparing to send the
French farmers 100000 pounds Of
seed beans.
There is considerable sentiment in
California's sending young orchards TO
France. since It was this war-torn
country that gave the state its first
orlIne trees. This was back in 1856.
Since that time the California pr1ine
orchards have covered nearly 100000
acres. and bring TO the growers more
than $4,000 900 4 year."-Colorado

SNOW BLOCKADE
Mr. McAdoo Failed TO Get Out in Time
to Save His Reputation.

Son-in-law McAdoo ought TO have
quit the railroads at the some time
he did the treasury If he wanted to
save his rep. Faced with real crisis
like this snow storm and his bunch
of government faddists only succeed
ed in proving how little they know
about railroading. This section Of the
country was suddenly carried back
years To the old time before President
Ripley put real business management
into the Santa Fe system. The road is
now tied up with snow bound trains
all along the line just as in the days
IF long ago. With stub running
from Syracuse to la Junta one day
and back again next we have almost
been shut off from the world at large.
Mail has been coming from one direc-
tion or the other almost every other
day, and you can grin or cuss just as
you feel like-it really makes no diff
ference. II will be no better till the
weather breaks and no one can even
guess when that will be. 1t is very
fortunate that IT came Just at the flrst
of the year along with all the duns
for no one could feel comfortable at
this season anyway, and it is just as
well to have il all over and ready for
the good times that are just ahead.
A number of trains have been tied up
in Lamar although most Of them have
been held at the division points, and
most of the passengers seem to be
taking it cooly-they couldn't do much
else with the thermometer hunting the
13 and Ia below zero each night. Some
of the soldier boys on furloughs think
it is a good joke on the government
that it can't get them back to their
camps on time. The blockade was
broken last night and if the weather
man will just allow the administration
to do all the blowing over in Europe
for awhile maybe we can get caught
up with our mail in the course of a
few weeks.

CHEER UPl
The Worst Is "Cameing" Very Fast
and Lamar's Turn VIII Then
Come.

Lamar citizens on last Friday morn
ing suddenly without the least warn
ing found their light and power cut
off, and this too without the great
majority being indebted to the Inter
mountain Robber Light and Power
Co. for anything but poor service and
snubs. 1t caught citizens totally un-
prepared and on calling up the office
many were informed that the company
was out of coal and couldn't buy any.
At the time there were several thous-
and tons of coal in Lamar and while
II may have cost some more than the
company had been getting it for, 1t
was their own rotten business policy
hat put them in the hole. and IL they
had been reasonable and responsible
business men they would have stood
the loss instead of passing it on to the
,ity whose only fault has been In al
lowing the outfit to rob them 30 long.
The situation was relieved after a
half days wait by Manager r. F.
Jooper of the Kornman mill of the ID.
A. NJ. & p. Co. turning u car Of the
mills coal over to them, and it is a
characteristic of the Intermountain
management that he found his own
power cut of next morning. After
worrying along over Sunday the COM
pany received car on Monday, and
with donation of few bucketfuls
occasionally by various patrons may
worry along over the next Sunday.
The citizens are told to cheer up.
that if they can hibernate during the
next month of snow and cold weather,
that just as soon as the prairies are
free from snow, his lordship, Mr.. van
Diest-it's soft pedal on the Van these
days-will come down from Little
London with his trusty rake and burro
and cart and gather in enough buffalo
chips to run the plant quite a spell.
II is true that the outfit has proved
that it is needless for the people to
appeal to the state utilities commish,
but any citizen, who has paid last
months bill could swear out a warrant
against them before the district at
torney for obtaining money under
false pretenses. Theirs were the first
bills In the mail on New Years morn
ing-the only evidence Of being on the
job they ever show.

In addition to these phases Of the
two addresses. it is often remarked
that :he President not only boasted Of
the transportation of American troops
overseas without giving any credit to
Great Britain, but went out Of his way
to say that the only serious loss Of
troops was due to the sinking of n
British transport. The Presidents ad-
dress gave no credit to England for
carrying million men safely across
the sea, but held her responsible for
the loss of $50 men. Lloyd-George
evidently had this in mind when he
went into so much detail in telling just
what Great Britain had done.

The First Example.

The growing dissatisfaction in the
United States with the policy of the
Administration in maintaining an
American army in Russia, merely for
police duty. is indicative Of the reeep-
tion that will be accorded our entrance
into League of Nations, with the
inevitable foreign police duty which
ii will entail. Today everybody would
rally in 4 moment to the defense of
our own shores. Once in League of
Nations we would not be permitted to
defend even our own country without
the sanction of the European majority
comprising the League, yet we would
be called upon to lend a hand in main
tanning order in Siberia, precisely as
we are doing at the present time.

A TactfuI Friend.

Raymond Hitchcock says that while
he was lying in a Philadelphia hos
pital, convalescing from an operation
for appendicitis. one of those fool
friends who always say the wrong
thing in the wrong place. called on him
and told him the following story to
cheer him up:
Philadelphia's most famous appen-
dicitis expert had a dog Of which he
thought great deal, which had lop-
sided walk. A friend asked the doctor
on one occasion the cause of this.
"Why." was the reply. "he's got ap-
pendicitis."
Then why don't you operate on
him ?" queried the caller.

STORM WORST FOR YEARS
Blocks all Travel to the South
Country.

The continual winds Of the past week
which have filled up the roads as fast
rs they could be cut out have practical
ly made travel to the south part of
this county and Baca county impos-
sible. Occasional trips have been
made at great trouble and expense
only to find on the return that the
road was as bad as when they came
over il before. II is impossible to get
over it with much Of load, and all
through that section there are hun
dreds Of people short of provisions and
fuel. Unless there is an early let up
in this serious condition there will be
great suffering among the people. The
condition Of thousands Of head of cat
tie and sheep on the plains is already
lamentable and the death rate will be
enormous before help can possibly be
given them. Baca county has been al
most entirely without mail for over a
week now as the mail carriers have
only been able to break through on

WASHINGTON NOTES
A. To Our Part in The War.

Washington, Dec. 3l.-tSpecial cor
respondence) - Official Washington
has been mrch concerned over the
probable Significance Of statements
made by high European authorities
regarding tae part America has taken
in certain features of the war. Lloyd
Georges detailed account of the be-
ginning of American participation is
recognized rs being not mere incl
dent Of his address but a carefully
planned statement of historical facts
presented for a purpose not entirely
clear. The British premier was care
full to emphasize the fact that he call
ed Cor American troops before they
were sent, and that it was British
ships, chiefly, that transported the
American troops abroad, under convoy,
chiefly, Of British men of war.
'i'h VII t.....oer End, in an address to
Uongress, President Wilson had told
OF the transportation Of $4,000 men
across the seas, followed by adequate
equipment and supplies" He added
that I'VE acted with a quickness and
readiness Of cooperation that justify
our great pride" He also expressed
gratitude that our men went in force
to the line of battle "just at the criti-
cal moment"
Coming so soon after the President S
speech, the address Of Lloyd-George
is looked upon as either an answer to
the President or a gentle reminder
that Great Britain and France are
keeping the record in mind. The
"quickness and readiness" gets a
severe jolt in view of the Lloyd-George
statement that re called for the troops
and that he received cablegram the
following day saying that the troops
would be sent if Britain would send
the ships. The British premier's
statement leaves the necessary infer
ence that if he had not called for help
1t would not have been given until the
"critical moment" had passed and the
war had been lost By the Allies.

"Old Clo."

What will it profit the Government
to require its soldiers to turn in their
uniforms after they have worn them
for four months following their dis
charge? They will merely be stored
away as food for moths, and after a
lapse of years sold at auction to the
highest bidder. Experience in the
past at such sales has shown that only
a small fraction of the value Of such
articles is realized. Better by far to
allow the individual which the uniform
fits to retain il and wear it as long
as he may wish. 1t is of very real
value to him. but is worth practically
nothing to the Government
