AMERICANISM, A SERMON; MUCH NEEDED ADVICE TO
 A FEW BORN AMERICANS"

old men who were native born Amer jeans, too-of too common sort.
 l know one foreign workman in America who never learned enough English to carry on conversation, but he learned from his American born employer to use the greatest variety of "cuss words" in exactly the tone and with exactly the em- phasis of the native born. l often thought how all that American had to give to the foreign in his association over a considerable period of time was a string of profanity. Not an uplifting memory; not a revelation of something fine and noble in Amer ican life-just a string of oaths Surely a valuable lesson in Amer icanism" as American born citizens live it day by day!
 I suppose that next to politics there is nothing so often joked about in America as religion. There was a time, before the great war, when to joke about religion was the ignorant mans way of showing how smart and witty he was. Now the whole world has been wakened by heart breaking tragedy and sorrow to seek the strength of faith in something beyond the human. But none the less the irreverence and joking was one of the worst things we did to our foreign born citizens.
 More than once I have known young men drawn away from the faith which might have helped them to endure the loneliness of life in strang land among strangers by the jokes of some American with whom they were associated, some man who did not dream of the harm he was doing but thought he sounded won derfully smart and wise.
 Often have listened, burning with rage, to the scoffing of some man who had never known what it meant to be thousands of miles from home strange ways and speech; who never dreamed how respect for his mothers religion might comfort a lonely boy and keep him good and l have seen fine ideals yield bit by bit to this sort of joking that had not one good thing to give anyone to live by ill loneliness and strange places.
 No, I'm not going to preach a whole Thanksgiving sermon - only don't you see that we need all this talk about Americanism, every bit of it-but we need it for ourselves more than for those who come to us from elsewhere. We need it for our schools, for our daily life, we need it i to inspire us to finer living for Amer Ica's sake. Let us have leagues" in [ every neighborhood for the teaching of the finest Americanism that our spirits can conceive-but let Us teach 1t to every man and woman and child of our own land, as well as 10 those who come to us from the rest of the world.
 l suppose the business manager will nave had to ring for all ambulance to ,ake the editor to the hospital by his time-but as soon as he is con 'cious 1 want him to know that I promise him story for Christmas in stead of sermon. Once there was m old-time Arizonan who was dig ylng his own grave, encouraged to good work by the muzzle of a Colts 45 close by-and he struck one of he biggest gold mines right at the 'ottom-and lived to spend the pro- eeds-but that's for the story, which { is hoped will appease both the .ditor and the readers who by that imc will have forgotten there was Thanksgiving sermon.

Coffee Prices Doubled.

Coffee prices on the New York Cof-
fee Exchange have been advancing
by leaps and bounds OF late. with
some options selling at the highest
level ever recorded. Since last fall
prices have doubled. During the cur
rent month nearly 80 per cent has
been added.--with subsequent reac-
tions.
The sensational market is laid to a
world famine in coffee caused by war
conditions. Transportation facilities
were limited SO that merchants could
have only 80 days supply, and the
price was virtually 'pegged" at 10
cents a pound. Frost last fall nipped
the growing crop more severely than
usual. and this has been a contrib
uting factor in the price advance.
South American growers have a vir-
tual control OF the market.

trigger of the regulation six-shoot-

Bit on Bullets.

that apparently no lead was included

guns were loaded by permitting her TO
bite one of the bullets. After that ex-
perience she again took heart. and Is
now one of his most promising pupils.
Yesterday she made four bulls eyes
and the instructor in his enthusiasm
came out from his hole In the wall
and commended her very highly on
