The man with the hoe has broken

the fact that the most potent voice in
the reconstruction of the world after
the great war is that of labor. It is

is speaking at several international
labor conferences it is speaking in the
platforms and reconstruction program,
of labor parties and labor-unions in
every civilized country, and it Is speak

Passes Billion Dollar Army Bill.
Voluntary Enlistments in Reg
ular Army Restored. Time Of
Service One Year Instead Of
Three.

Washington, d. C.-The annual mill
tary appropriation bill, t~otaling more
than $1,000 90, 900, was passed by the
house after the legislative rider pre-
viding for the restriction in the recruit
ing Of a temporary army up to a total
strength of $4,000 men and $4,000;
officers had been eliminated under a
point of order against new legislation in.
an appropriation bill.
In lieu of this provision the house
passed a bill previously approved by.
the senate restoring voluntary enlist
ments in the regular army. An amend
ment was added reducing the term OF
enlistment during the coming year from
three years to n year, and doing
away with tie four year period of serv-
ice in the reserve.
The effect, il enacted into law in this
manner, will be to eve to the ma
tional defense act, providing a peace
time regular army of 175, 900, four
months after the signing of peace
terms. BY reducing The enlistment per-
Tor to one year, the expectation Is that
it will be possible to recruit as much
of an army as needed abroad from the
ranks of the soldiers now there.

A fellow feels better when he has clean collar and boy is desirable citizen when he has his face washed Of course we never hope to convince the boy of this but it's true nevertheless. Clothes don't make and scrubbed face doesn't make the map of ones soul but the scenic effects of summer ho day attractive because there clean col lars and clean faces in the crowd
 What cleaning up and dressing up does for ones self it will do for ones dwelling place, the house, the yard the back alley and the front street It will bring brightness happiness and all other material pleasures of life into the corner of the world you occupy Also is sanitary and therefore engthens life it shortens doctors bills.
 For city is nothing less than collection of homes
 That city with comfortable, clean, sanitary inviting homes is city beautiful to human eyes. Such homes have flowers in the yard as much lawn as the kiddies will permit, paint the weaher-boardng, and present much the same pleasing appearance you do when you put on your Sunday clothes and out for walk with the mssus. You may identify such homes by the absence of tin the back yard the lack of rubbish in the alley and the failure to find broken glass in the street.
 One such dwelling place is picture to gladden. a mans soul Block after block, street after street of such homes, makes city beautiful It doesn't matter whether they of mansions, of cottages, the general effect is the same-that of cleanliness order beauty and comfort.
 All this is result of bucket of paint, grass and flower seed rakng up and repairing. It is doing to the outside of the home what the good wife does to the inside on her spring house cleaning rampage.
 And there is material profit in owning such home And in having neighbors who clean up, paint up, and dress up their dwelling places. For increases the value of your property to do this Thus it increases your wealth, not only what you do your house and yard but what your neighbors do to theirs.
 Nature chooses spring for her annual house cleaning dressingup time, for it is the best time Nature knows. Take tip from her-Editorial from Southwest Ameri- can of April 26, 1919.
