NO WARS AMONG CHILDREN
Youngsters Of Various Nationa'lties
Play Peacefully Together In Public
Grounds in Lithuanian Town,

Whatever may be the differences
that keep their parents apart, little
Lithuanians, Russians, Jews and
Poles are playing happily together
in Kovno, Lithuania, in the public
playground and garden established
by the American relief administra-
ton European children's fund, &C.
cording to word received at the or
ganization's New York headquarters,
us Broadway.
Early in the morning $50 chill
dren gather in the playground and
remain until six at night. The
younger ones play all day and are
provided with nourishing food by
the administration. The older ones
work in the garden.
The greater part of the garden
work has been done in the morning.
At first the poor underfed children
could not do very much, for they
did not have the strength, but after
4 few weeks in the open air, with
proper food, a marked improvement
was observed.
All activities are under the SUI
pervision of a matron and some
women helpers. The children get
but one meal day, as the number
Of needy is too great to permit of
more.

New Minister.

The new minister, who was rather
young, and five-year-old Marian be-
came great friends at sight. And Mar
ian was not impressed much by his
ministerial dignity even at church. The
other Sunday when he went home with
them for dinner she was delighted.
The little girl from next door came
over to see the visitor. Hes the min
lister at your church-isn't he?" she
asked.
Very decisively Marian shook her
head. "Oh, no; he's just nice boy,
who sometimes comes to our house
and eats a whole lot and sometimes
goes to our church and talks little
Bit" was the reply. - Indianapolis

IS EVERY ONE PARADINc?

Silk hats are in tremendous de-
mand in Europe. The output can
not keep up with orders, even with
retired workmen recalled to their
benches. It is perfectly obvious that
the peace conference, when it set
about creating new countries forgot
to notify the supreme economic
council of the resulting strain that
would be placed upon the silk hat in.

There are today in England 100000
fewer acres under clover and rotation

Government officials have said that
the history Of the Scarlet Riders is
also the history Of law and order in
the Canadian northwest. The proud
claim is made that the horsemen have
never failed to account for a criminal
after once taking the trail. 1t has not
always been possible to bring back the
man alive, however, and in each OF
these cases formal notation is made
telling where the body is buried.
The records at headquarters, which
TEEN with thrilling adventures, show
that on more than one occasion a sin
gle officer rode into the Northern
wilderness. used dog teams to pene-
trate still farther, and then "musned''
(walked) TO his destination to arrest
an Indian Or Eskimo who had killed
a white man or tribesman. Now and
then fugitive shot first and with true
aim.
But official records show that no
criminal who murdered an officer ever
escaped vengeance of that officers

One result of Secretary Glass an
nouncement that fhe next intensive
loan campaign would be the last is
that Liberty Liberty Loan organiza-
tions throughout the country will
make this a big selling point in the
campaign. Citizens wSll be urged to
do their utmost on the plea that ii
probably will be the last opportunity
to make loans, to the government for
war purpoes.
The naisapprehesion regarding the
number and amount of remaining
loans may have arisen, treasury off
Gals explained today, over the fact
that the treasury had planned to float
two loan issues aggregating about
$12, 900, 100000 this fiscal year. The
fiscal year began last July 1, how
ever, and ends next June 80, and the
Fourth Liberty Loan of nearly ST.
oo0,O0O0,0Oo already has been f1oated
in that period.
Most treaury officials believe that
the terms Of the fifth, OR Victory
Loan will have to be made more at
tractive than those of the past either
by raising the interest rate above
Id per cent or by some other
means.

CRACK PAGERS AND TROTTERS
 THEREFOR RACES
Some of The Fastest In The
 Country Have Arrived For Speed events During the
 Fair-Track One of Best

With some of the most noted and fastest trotters and pacers of the American circuits entered for the varl- ous classes, and with seven to 20 en- tries in every class, everything points 10 a program of brilliant harness events for the Arizona state fair.
 Four strings of horses, some Ari- zona owned and bred. and some from the Grand and Great Western circuits, are already stabled at the fair grounds. Many others are expected to arrive during the coming week, and with the termination of the Pacific coast meets, others will be added.
 Track A Velvet Cushion
 For weeks past experts have been working on both the half-mile and the mile tracks, with the result that they are in tip-top condition today. Con- stant narrowing and watering has created cushion of velvet, and if this condition can be maintained till fan week, it is more than probable that more than one record will be broken
 The Phoenix course has the reput1 tion of being one of the finest and fase- est in America, and no pains have been spared to place it in the best possible condition for fair week.
