upon, better relations ought to follow naturally!

Stepping on small pieces of hot
metal, walking on sharp chips of steel,
standing in hot sand-these, and other
harsh conditions of walking surfaces,

feet on Neolin Soles. So says r. J.
Doty, plant superintendent of the
Sivyer Steel Casting Company, Mil
waukee, Wisconsin.
"The best oak tanned leather soles
last about three weeks under the abuse
given them in the foundry, while !
have been wearing a pair OF Neolln
Soles for more than three months. And
to all appearances, they are as stout
as when first put on my shoes, says
Mr.. Doty.
Only Neolin Soles can resist wear
and abuse like this. They are created
by Science to be very tough and dur
able - flexible and waterproof, too.
To reduce your own shoe expense. and
to cut the family shoe bills, buy Neolin-
soled shoes. You can get them in
many styles for men, women, and
children.
And have your worn shoes robot
toned with Neolin Soles. These long

 Carlos is still "marooned'' with she American army in Si- beria, and the letter does not say when he expects to be home.
 The following poetry was enclosed, which seems to ex- press the sentiments of the homesick soldier boys:

 Silver threads among the black. Now that peace in Europe hears, I'll be home in seven years. I'll drop in on you some night With my whiskers long and white Yes, the war is over, dears, And I'll be back in seven years. Home again with you once more, Say by nineteen twenty four.

ARIZONA MOVES FORWARD.

Arizona has developed the last few years by leaps and bounds. A agricultural development has expanded enormously. Thous- ands of acres of desert are con- stantly being made green with prosperous farms. The vast un- touched mineral resources of the state are gradually being de veloped and more of the profits are being left in Arizona instead of being shipped to the east and to foreign countries. New banks are constantly being esta blished and the capital is coming to be owned more and more by Ariz- onans, whose interests are here. Strong business institutions are developing in our midst.
 Thousands of homes are being built and owned by the people. This baby state is beginning to sense it's strength and maturity It is now facing the greatest era of it's development. With it's in comparable possibilities and op- portunitieS it offers golden fruit to the homeseeker.- r.-Post.

 Improvement over the north eastern plateau where rain was badly needed has been marked, stock have already frightened up and the water supply has been replenisned Markedly better conditions also prevail in the Grand Canyon sections, in the Sulphur Springs valley, in Graham and Greenlee counties, and generally in western New Mexico. The weeks rainfall of over four inches at Douglas and of more than an inch at Nogales, has had a wonderfully revivifying effect on the pastures in those sections and stock have also improved.

Will Educate Disabled Soldiers.

A training center for disabled soldiers will be established at the University of Arizona, the federal board for vocational edu- cation has announced.
 Students will be admitted to all the regular courses in the university, and even special courses will be inaugurated for veterans who desire them.
 The government pays all the expenses of disabled soldiers taking the courses, and in addi- ton pays a monthly allowance up to $6O to each veteran. It is expected that many soldiers who were gassed in Europe will at tend the university because of the climate in Arizona.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

For several months the Presi. dents opponents have had a sort of "open season" of criti. cism of him and his policies and proposals. While he was busy in the solution of the worlds biggest problem, large num- Der of his fellow countrymen were engaged in the easiest of all tasks-fiuding fault. So mean and petty and spiteful has been some of this carping that one can hardly escape believing it's authors would have found as much satisfaction in his failure Gf he had failed) as other more patriotic Americans have deriv- ed from his success.
 But a few weeks hence the President is to tour the country and meet friends and foes face to face and give the American people an account of his stew ardship. He will at the same time doubtless afford them some understanding of the tremend- ons difficulties that confronted him in the Peace conference and submit to them the greatest of all modern achievements in statesmanship-the League of Nations.
 Those who have misunder- stood, those who have judged hastily and those who have been misled. will have the truth from the Presidents lips, and will be convinced. Only the partisan and the narrow traditionalist, may be expected to remain proof against facts and reason.-The Graham Guardian.

AMERICA' PART IN THE WAR.
Powerful Argument for the Proposed
 League of Nations.

Americas part in winning the world war is graphically told in a Statistical Summary of the War With Germany" just from the press and written by Col. Leonard P. Ayres. Chief of the Statistics Branch of the General Staff. The summary is a print ed document of 15O pages and is a complete statistical review of Americas participation in the greatest war in history. It is regarded as a powerful argu- ment for the League of Nations as deterrent of future conflicts. The wars cost to America was $21, $50, ,OOO,OOO or approximate ly $1 100000 an hour. Of the total, $13,93O, 100000 went for army expenses.
 The country's total armed force when the armistice was signed was 4,8OO,OOO men, of whom four million were in the army, the remainder being in the navy. Marine Corps and other branches.
 The numb Der of men sent over seas was 2,O86, ,OOO, of whom l. 39O.OO were actually engaged at the front. The number of Americans engaged in the Me use Argonne battle, the greatest operation in which American troops participated, was 1,2OO, |OOO. American casualties in this engagement number 12O, ,OOO >FE pa approximated 5O,OOO, wounded 236, GOO. and deaths from disease 56, 991 up to April 30. 1919.
 Some notable achievements were accomplished by those charged with the duty of waging the war. Not the least of these was, the fact that, despite the U- boat peril, 3O6, ,OOO men were transported overseas in one. month. The speed with which the army is being returned Is in dicated by the fact that 333. .OOO were brought home in one month.
 Supplies shipped from the United States to France amount ed to 7.5OO,OO tons in the nine- U6Su nOuLIlS Ol OlllS COuuUIy pal ticipation in the war.
 The number of men registered for military service under the Selective Service Act was 24,- 234, ,O21, of whom 2,81O, ,2O6 were inducted into the service. The largest number inducted in any month was 100000.
 While the British sent more men to France during the first year of their participation in the war than the United States did, it took them three years to attain strength of two million men in France, while the United States accomplished this in one- half that time.
 Approximately 100000 com, missioned officers were required for the army. the report shows, and of these, less than 5000 were in the Federal service at the wars outbreak. Of these, 5791 were regulars and the re- mainder National Guard officers. The remainder had to come from civil fife, and most of them were trained at the Officers Training Camps. Of every six officers in the army, one had had previous training in the regular army, National Guard or in the ranks; three received their training at the Officers Training Camps, and the other two came direct from civil life with little or no military train ing.
 The average soldier who went to France had six months of training at home and two months of intense training after arriv- ing in France.
