WASHINGTONS ADVICE

Washington. father Of his country
urged two things In never to be forgot
ten words One was warning against
entangling alliances. and another nd,
vice TO prepare for war in times Of
peace. Only few short years age
many persons and influential were
urging that preparedness Is n crime
and they did all they could to cripple
the army and navy, contending that
Washingtons words did not apply al
the present stage OF civilizations prog
ress. But the words Of Washington
were not forgotten, and how thoroughly
they were vindicated. can be realized
best by the knowledge that Newton ID
Baker, that arch-pacifist secretary OF
war. is now promoting an army organ
izatiOn to produce more than n million
trnined' men In time of need.
Washington could have been n king
in fact many OF his most patriotic
countrymen thought that he should es.
tablish kingdom that would prosper
under his unselfish guidance, and they
urged the crown upon him. Unlike
Caesar. he turned it aside in such
terms that II was not offered twice
and thrice. He had other plans for
his country: and. although his people
were weak and contentious, he trusted
them TO work out their own democratic
institutions and laid down the max
inns by which the factions could be
united. He wanted his country TO de
velop unimpeded by foreign influences
with their world-old hatreds and casts
Our forefathers thought his advice ia
he good and they followed II to what
glorious purpose we know.
The United States Senate Is now con.
sidering a peace treaty that has an en-
tangling covenant intermiNed with II
The Senate doesn't like the provisions
that give to foreign powers the right
Of calling upon the armed forces OF this
country to enforce its mandates. OF In
teresting themselves I'm purely domestic
affairs Of the country and amending
the Monroe doctrine. and they are
going TO strike out these provisions and
retain the right to withdraw from the
league when Il Is thought best to serve
the interests OF the people Of the United
States. Cerain persons and influential
are urging that this Is a crime. con-
tendiig that Washington's words do
not apply 10 the present stage OF civil
ization's progress. But the words OF
washington are not forgotten and that
he will again he vindicated Is The
earnest belief OF many who have the
lnselfish good Of the nation very close
tO their hearts.

LEGION POSTS WARNED

The American Legion in meeting In
81. Louis steered clear OF traps tO
secure expression upon many mooted
questions, the Legion believing II best
TO await the return of the army before
assuming TO express the opinion ui
the men. Some OF the subjects may
come up for discussion at the general
conference to be held In Philadelphia
But In the meantime the small posts
throughout the country are cautioned
concerning action. The official pub
licatiun cautions members that posts
should not be drawn into the political
game by local factions seeking en-
dorsement for persons, parties or Is
sues. There is already an instance
seemingly, in Deming, where accord
ing to a local paper, post directors and
officers TO the number Of eight. but
not at IA general meeting for members
pa ssed an anti-prohibition resolution
and another approved the action OF
the town council in repeating an
ordinance forbidding gambling, a local
lssle.
The action by the post directors Is
being condemned by more or less OF
the members as not representative OF
the opinions OF the members gen.
orally.
There will be plenty OF pitfalls for
inexperienced members, who need TO
be on guard against being made cats
paws for interests that wish TO use
the soldiers Observation-Disclosures

THE PEACE TREATY

II seems possible that the treaty of
pence and league covenant will be ac-
cepted by the Senate through a COM
promise between the administration
forces and that OF the majority,
through a compromise whereby reser-
vations will be accepted. At the present
time the republican side Of the Senate
Is standing pat on five points. They
relate 10 the Monroe doctrine. with
tlrawal from membership jurisdiction
over domestic questions. the appoint
ment OF the American representatives
by consent Of the Senate, and the reser-
walton OF the war making power to
congress. A conference between the
president and republican and demo
cratic leaders in the Senate Is to be
held today at the White House and re-
porters are 10 be allowed TO publish the
deliberations. Meanwhile early action
IS being urged by the majority In the
Senate. II is said that no more wit
nesses will be called.

THE WAY OF WOMEN

The orchestra played his favorite
waltz
His one-tlme sweetheart, dainty In
lace and chiffon, turned her dreamy
eyes ON her young partner and smiled
And they danced well together.
Forgotten so soon?
And his dear body, once beautiful
In youthful vigor, rots In the grave
where the cold rains OF Lorraine drips
monOtonously on bleak shell blasted
forests and sodden fields.
II is the way of women.
The victorious chief wipes the bloods
from his blade, and turns from the mu-
tilated body Of his fallen foe 10 the van
qulshed wife. who returns his smile.
The fewer that survive the greater
the share of honor.
But why ask that a soldier exemplify
the virtues of n monk?

MORE TRUTH THAN BULL

Old Dobbin was the family mare,
And many years lived she
The heavy burdens she would bear
Most painful were TO see.
She had the collie all her years,
And often we would think
That DER her bier we'd shed a tear
For she was ON the blink.
We even dug a shallow pit
Beside the stable door
That we might dump her into II
When she should breath no more.
We'd think to find her dead some
morn,
And sadly we'd go thence,
To find she'd busted In the corn
BY jumping DER the fence.
They say that Deming has gone
broke;
That grass grows in the street;
That all she has Is put In soak;
And all that you may meet
VIII greet you with d0leful face,
And tearfully will say:
II tell you this Is dead place"
Il soon shall go away
"Td leave this morning, sure
would"
IF / could raise the dough"
II wish TO goodness that ! could
II certainly would 60"
But when we start her grave to dig,
She hists her tail and jumps:
The boom Is on; she's going big,
Aud hitting all the humps.
The moral of this simple rhyme,
You will, think. agree;
She can't go big all Of the time,
But we can cheerful be.

LITTLE SIGNS AND OILY

Little signs and oily.
When we hit the sand,
Will start the town TO booming,
And make a wealthy land.
Little dollars put In stock.
When the price Is low,
will put a crimp In HCL,
And make the bank roll grow.

Every man owes it TO himself to lay
aside an emergency fund. An ideal
way to do this is by purchasing War
Savings Stamps or Registered Treasury
Savings Certificates. They increase in
value every month you hold them and
can always be converted into cash on
ten days notice.
Deming graphic., 1919-08-19

With the purchasing power OF the
dollar lower than II has ever been, II is
the part Of wisdom tO put some of them
TO work. earning interest, until the
time that money is worth more. War
Savings Stamps enable the wage Garner
to do this. Save what you can and In

Financial physicians are warning
against the new disease which is ap-

They have named II 'Tmthruenza."
Persons attacked by this disease uni

TO STOP FOOD BOARDING

The government campaign against
food hoarders, particularly those firms
that hold large stores In warehouses.
causing the market price OF the COM
modities to raise thereby Is ON. Large
stocks have been seized In Ohio on ad-
vice from the attorney general and
prosecutions will result under the food
control law that Is to be amplified by
attaching criminal penalty for its
violation. This campaign will ultimate
ly effect the retail trade and will be
extended even To the remote villages.
The work has already begun In Dem
ing, and shortly II is expected that

Comedy on Princess Screen.

One Of the seasons most attrac-
tive comedies, IAN Amateur Widow"
appears on the program Of the Princess
today, and features Zena Keefe with
Hugh Dalman and a competent cast
The main comedy situation Of the pic
ture is good, and considering the pro-
duction as a whole, 1t is one that will
please the average audience and af-
ford many laughs.
The opening scenes az the picture
labor somewhat under weight of de-
tail which becomes tiresome. There
Is too obvious am attempt to impress
the spectator with the over supply

But before the production reaches Its
middle stages 1t has swung into a hap
by gait, with increasing action and
fun to the end. Zena Keefe is partic-
ularly attractive in the title role, and
Hugh Dilman puts over the part of
irving Mason in good style. One Of
the pleasing characters of the picture
is that of Aunt Chloe played by Paul
