Paris, Jan. 20th.-The Paris newspa-
pars are unanimous in considering Satur-
day Jany. 18th. as one of the Greatest
Dates in the worlds history. The Fl
CARO- says: Public opinion in all the
Allied countries will gather from the
events of yesterday the vivid and reas-
surfing impressions which result both
from the words of the spokesman in
the Peace Conference, and the frame
of mind and the impls cable determina-
ton clothed beneath those words.
Thanks to the general goodwill, an &C
cord has been arrived at between thought
and action, between the requirements
of reality and the loftiness of dreams"
All the newspapers remark upon the fact
that exactly 48 years today when the
German Empire was proclaimed at Yer
s~ailles, Germany saw the entire world
turned against her. The Petit Parish
en-" remarks that the change in things
marks complete revenge of right
against brutal might"
Paris. Jan. 20th-Owing to the death
of Prince John, the intended semi-official
visit of the Prince of Wales to Paris has
been postponed.
Berlin, Jan. 20th-The Chief of Depart
ments in the Govt, and especially the
Ministers of Commerce and Trade, pro-
test against the acceptance by the Ger
man delegates of the latest armistice
conditions, the fultilment of which they
declare, means for Germany the organ

MUSIC

DR. R. H. HUMPHREYS, a prominent
neurologist, has made the statement
that 90 per cent of all those incapac-
itated for service in the late war are
shell shock cases and that music is an
invaluable aid in their cure.
This is a remarkable statement, yet
it comes from an authority. as DR..
HUMPHREYS was consulting neurolo-
gst in Selective Service Headquar-
tiers Of New York State
II proves that wonderful as music
is in inspiring courage and heroism
on the battlefield. in stimulating eff
fort in every branch Of human endea-
vor, il has a curative power far great
er than is appreciated by the general
public II stirs the nerves and it
soothes them II arouses them to
great vigor and energy when il is de-
sired to summon the faculties to un-
usual activity and it rests them when
rest is needed.
As a "cure-all" no patented medi-
cine could justify broader claims, for
no matter what your trouble. music
will help you. II music itself could
be patented and put up in packets,
that which has been slightingly called
canned music" could be sold for its
medicinal effect alone with far great
err success than any patented medi-
cine 1t would be included in the
doctors prescription
Yet music is so closely associated
with pleasure that we fail to realize
that il has any other value.
Take music out Of the world and
you will take away one of the funda-
mental elements Of nature Take it
away from the home and there will
be an emptiness all else will not fill.
Take music out Of the heart and you
will take the sunshine out Of life.

LOOMS SELLS THE sLAToNITE.

L. +. LOOMS, who for seven years
has been editor and owner of the Sla-
ton Slatonite, has sold that paper to
W. Donald, who will have full charge
Of the Slatonite with the issue of this
week. Mr.. Loomis in introducing Mr..
Donald says:
1.-The new proprietor Of the Slaton-
tie is Mr.. w. Donald. formerly with
the Mckinney Daily Courier Gazette
and publisher Of the Princeton News
Mr.. Donald is competent newspaper
man and we feel that he will give
Slaton better newspaper service than
we have been able to. He is a bust
ness man Of high standing and will be
valuable addition to Stations bust
ness circles. We are glad to know
that in stepping out of the Slatonite
we are placing the mantle of pro-
prietorship in such competent hands.
Mr.. Donald's family will soon be at
home here
In an effort TO relieve the curiosity
of many of the Slatonite readers Mr..
LOOMS says:
"The first question that comes to
US from scores of friends, is: Why
are you leaving Slaton?' Recently
and entirely Unexpectedly, the oppor-
tunity came to US to enter the news
paper business in a much larger field
where the volume Of business is sew
eral times larger than II is at Slaton.
That tells the whole story. We are
just stepping into bigger job, and
felt that we could not in justice to
ourself refuse the opportunity, altho
it means breaking up business asso-
Citations and friendships that have
been forming for years.
