MormOns, Driven
Off by Mexicans,
Again Seek Homes

Douglas, Ariz, Aug. 22.-Some of
the several hundred Mormons who
were driven out of their colony at
Colonia Morelos, IS miles southeast
of Douglas by Villas army of invas.
ion in 1916 are endeavoring to re-
cover their homes from the Mexican
sauatters who have usurped them.
About ten Mormon families still live
in the colony but are not permitted
to occupy their own brick houses,
Mexican families are living in them
and refuse to quit, proclaiming the
doctrine of "Mexico for Mexicans."
Many other Mormons, disheartened
by their reversals have begun life
anew in the United States. Appeals
have been made to the Mexican gov
eminent by the Mormons without re-
suit. Recently the American state
department asked the Mexican gov
eminent to drive out the usurpers and
restore their property to them. The
colonists hope this effort will be SUI
cessful.

will help bring down the cost Of liv-
ing.
Mr.. Palmer also says that the main
reason for the high prices is the eco
nomic law of supply and demand.
Senator Reed, whose judgment on
many things is sound, several days
before made the same statement.
As long as people are willing to
pay an enormous price for an article
the price will remain high.
Shoes, for which SIS and $40, are
now being asked, would come down
with a sickening thud, if there were
no takers. The buying public, by
going without some of the things that
are desired, can do much to bring
prices down.
If we eliminate luxuries and eco
nomize on necessities, prices eventu-
ally will fall. They will fall much
faster and much further on lessen
ed demand than they will in the face
of all the prosecution our govern
ment can muster.

German Police Dog
American Souvenir

Paris, Aug. 22-America will be
overrun with German police dogs #
the dog-catchers at the ports in the
United States where the returning
troops land do not put an emgarbo on
the German product.
All the soldiers and marines from
the Rhine districts bring police dogs
to Paris. Officers, doughboys and
girl workers with the army lead them
through Paris streets. The American
troop trains passing through Bel
quinn and Luxembourg on their way to
French ports all carry a great assort-
ment of the German CANNES.
Red Cross workers, Young Mems
Christian association workers and
members of the Young Women's
Christian association have been won
over by the German police dogs and
are taking them back to America
Most of the CANNES have pedigrees
showing that their grandfather was
a wolf. They are all grey, about the
size of a shepherd dog with the point
ed nose and sharp erect ears of a
wolf.

Parliament After.
Three Years Hard
Labor Now Plays

London, Aug. 22-Parliament,
after five hard years devoted to the
business of the empire, is again
learning to play. Last week it oc-
cupied stand along the Mall while
the fighting men of the allies passed
in review This week it continued its
peace celebration by visiting the fleet
anchored off the mouth of the
Thames at Southend. And on both
occasions it cast aside the dignity
and hoary customs Of it's ancient leg
islative halls, and enjoyed the novel
ty like lot of school boys out for a
frolic.
Monday the Lords saw the ships
comparatively small and select
party which left London late and
came home early. Tuesday it was
the turn of the commons who cheered
the best known fighting ships.
The Balmorel castle which carried
the commoners and their wives first
circled the fleet, the "Lizzie" as the
voyagers affectionately termed Ad-
miral Beatty's flagship the Queen
Elizabeth, being especially admired.
Then the Warspite which the Ger
mans said they had sunk at Jutland,
the Lion, the Tiger and lot of other
big ships came in for admiration,
while the Conquorer, the Thunderer
and some of the smaller fighters were
greeted as old friends.
The Balmorel Castle then steamed
down through the center of the fleet.
On one side were the big ships; on
the other the submarines, chasers and
ldestroyers. Few sailors were in
sight, but the crew of submarine
were loudly cheered as they took po-
sition on deck for few minutes, and
then went about some task set by
their commander. A destroyer sud
IDENTIFY spouted smoke, gathered speed
like an automobile and tore out to
sea.
But that was all the commander
showed of his fleet. There was no
firing of salutes; no orderly manning
of the rails. Just the ships, silent
and grim, beloved by all the English
people as their first line of defense.

LENIENCY JUSTIFIED.

In 1918, President Wilson, over
ruled courtmartial sentences, and
pardoned two American soldiers who
had been sentenced to death for sleep
ing while on outposts somewhere in
France
These soldiers were boys and had
committed no moral wrong. They
merely were guilty of a serious mill
tary offense.
There was a great deal of criticism
of the president at the time for inter-
fering with the wheels of military
Justice; it was said that the officers
in France were in much better po-
sition to deal with cases of that sort
than was the president in Washing
ton, unfamiliar with military routine
matters and far from the scene.
Wilson's action, however, seems to
have been justified. Both of these
boys became good soldiers. One of
them made the great sacrifice in the
Aisne offensive; the other was
wounded twice in engagements in the
summer of 1918.
There have been many cases of
courtmartial convictions for similar
offenses-offenses where no moral
wrong has been done, where leniency
would have done a great deal of good.
A little less strict disciplinary JUS
tice would have made good soldiers
of number of men who faced court
martials on the other side, and who,
in the face of the punishment given
them, neither helped their country
win the war nor helped themselves.

Girls Returning to
Domestic Service

London, Aug. 22.-The domestic
service problem, according to the
ministry of labor, is gradually be-
coming easier, and girls are showing.
more inclination to return to house
hold service.
Further improvement is expected
when the domestic service training
centers organized by the London
County countil are in full swing. One
of these centers was opened today
in Hammersmith, and Immediately
all vacancies for training were filled.
Training is free to all girls who
are receiving unemployment ,dona-
tions. Parlor maids will receive
special attention, being taught to
wait on table and to observe many
little niceties of service, such as not
joining in the laughter which follows
a good joke by one Of the guests.
The correct way Of passing around
vegetables and moving plates silent
ly also are parts of the curriculum.

AMERICA AS A SAMARITAN.

1--WE have not only been obliged to
feed Europe more freely than usual
with our spare grain and meats, but
now that peace is here we are also
called upon to suddenly furnish i'm
mense quantities of copper, petroleum
and steel products in order to fill up
the void created by five years of in
tense Instruction" writes Henri"
Clews, says the Fort Worth Record.
This is true and the million of peo-
pie of small incomes in America are
paying the price. They are the ones
who are hard hit.
They fed Europe during the war.
They fed Europe after America en-
tered the war.
They are making sacrifices to feed
Europe today and yet Sir Douglas
Haig tells his people that England
won the war" The truth is that
without American foodstuffs the peo-
pies of the allied nations would have
surrendered to famine long before the
American sword of democracy had
had chance to slit the throat OF
that imperial autocracy represented
by the Hohenzollern.
Henry Clews says America is fur
nishing immense quantities of cotton
to European countries. AS a matter
of fact the gamblers and the sand
baggers of Europe are doing all in
their power to bring about an era OF
cheap cotton Notwithstanding there is
a famine crop in the world today and
the carryover supply of the world is
less than 100000 bales.
Something should be done to make
America first. Why should the coun-
trv that produces the cotton, the men
who furnish the land and the labor
permit the European world to fix a
price on American staples?

ADVERTISING
COMMENT
(BY J. W. ANDREW

Inspeaking of the prevention OF
distribution Waste" recently
Ii. Rankin, president Of the VIM.
II. Rankin company, New York, SAID,
"Whlle the newspapers are design
ed to cover the country from coast
to coast, many merchandlsers Will
prefer to select newspapers IN such
manner as to cover certain dis
tricts more thoroughly in which their
ditribution facilities are we'll provld-
ed for, and to omit the use OF news
papers in other districts, in which
their sales distribution has been
built up to lesser degree.
"Such selection of territory for in
tensive cultivation cannot be made by
the advertiser who uses national
magazines exclusively.
1.-The magazines themselves pro-
vide figures showing the distrlbu-
ton of their circulation. The adver-
tiser perceives, that, in order to reach
certain sections In which he is pre-
pared to make sales OF his product,
he must pay for circulation in dis
tricts which are of no immediate
value to him.
National advertising through
newspapers carries with it no such
wasted EXPENSE The advertiser
need select no newspaper whose cir
culation does not go hand in hand
with his own sales facilities"
In other words it is proof conclu-
sive that the daily newspaper is ra-
pidiy taking it's place as the fore
most advertising medium, not only
for the national advertiser but for
the local advertiser as well. The
local merchant is awakening to the
conclusion that he too must advertise
if he will retain the business in his
particular locality-because it is
reasoned, and rightful too, that the
merchant who is honest in his claims
regarding his goods and persistently
keeps his advertising before the pub
lie has every reason to expect bust
ness from the merchant who does
not so advertise.
