as an immeasurable misfortune.
Those who defeated it have assumed
the most terrible responsibility which
any men have assumed in our time.
It's effect must be to prunge Europe
into even deeper chaos, from which
America can hardly escape entirely.
Those who were most against the
treaty and the league of nations were
the Germans, the extreme Sim Fem
ers, the l. w. W., and the bolshe-
visits. Those who have just killed
the treaty, however sincere their
motives, have given these cause for
great rejoicing.
None maintain that the treaty or
the league was perfect. But every.
one knows in his heart that it was
a better treaty and sanction than
was hoped for one year ago.

is not the last but beginning, as this
dramatic circle hopes to present a
number of good plays for general
enjoyment at this experimental
theatre. DR.. G.. NJ Miller says in

and will write it's own plays, stage
it's own plays and act its own plays
and make part of the literature of
the northwest.
The two comedies presented last ev-
ening to the large audience were
greatly appreciated. DIR. Miller and
Mr.. Bridge coached the performances.
The stage settings with changes of
scenes were very effective.

ing system looked over" said M B.
Dallas, Dodge Brothers dealer "You
will save money and annoyance by
taking your car to a service station
and have an expert clean, examine and
test your generator. AS a generator
is used almost constantly, the carbon
dust from the brushes as well as sur
plus oil, gathers inside and will event
ually cause short circuit. The gen.
orator may be making too little or too
much juice, and this can be remedied
and avoid battery trouble. Clean the
wiring and take all worn places. Do
these things and your motoring days
will be more pleasant and profitable.
Also. place your order for your new
car NOW and avoid delay when the
warm days come.

for road purposes, and not sent to

More of "The Beautiful"

The beautiful snow" of which we
read when children, is still falling in
this section, adding to the prospects
for big grain crop and piling up
wealth for the farmers. There is
about foot of snow in the hills near
the foot of Moscow mountain, but in
the timber it is said to be nearly two
feet deep. This means rain next
June. AS there is no frost in the
ground the moisture from the melting
snow will be absorbed by the soil and
it is already pretty well soaked. The
snow is not deep enough to- stop auto
mobile travel in town but in the coun-
try the deep mud under the snow
makes travel by car out of the ques-
ton now.

The Side-Saddle Flower
BY KATE v. AUSTIN


1t is said that an enormous number
of volumes have been published on
the question as to where Hannibal
crossed the Alps. Among the many
passages mentioned, some have assert
ed that it was by Lyons, Geneva, the
Great Saint Bernard, and the valley
of Aosta; others by Genoa, La Boch-
eta and La Scrivia, an opinion, let US
add, which Napoleon shared.
Aside from this intellectual chase
after Hannibal, the field of botany oc-
casionally furnishes US with a thorn
for the human mind. Not a geographi-
cal thorn, but an genealogical one AS
for example, according to Gray, the
derivation of Aralia-the ginseng-is
obscure. Higginson tells US that the
Do-Tooth Violet bears name hope
lessly inappropriate, and Walter
Mitchell says that the Mayf1ower, the
"ep1gaea repens," is enormously call

But it is regarding the Sarracenia
Purpurea, or purple sfde-saddle flower,

plant growing in marshy ground, and

| Gathered Leaves" by Hannah Flagg
| Gould, published in 1916, is an article
regarding the Sarracenia Purpurea.
Doubtful as to whether it was named
after DR.. Sarrazin she traces the orr
gin of the word to *Saracen" from the
peculiar structure of the plant, as well
as it's photography. The monuments
or grave-stones in the Moorish (Sar-
acenic) burying grounds, have small
hollows or basins. scooped in them to
catch the rain, that the birds may
come there and drink" Concerning
the etymology of Saracen, she says:
The Arabic professor, Sabellicus, in
forms us that Mohammed was the son
of a heather father, and an Ishmae-
lite mother-a direct descendant of
| Hagar. Yet, wishing to diselaim his
descent from the bond-woman and to
establish it as lineally from Sarah
and Abraham, to give Importance and
seeming truth to his religion, he
named himself and his followers Sar-
acens, or descendants of Sarah; while
the Greeks, in derision, called them
Hagarenes. as the descendants of Ha-
gar are called in Psalm IXXXIII:6.'
