have lived in an atmosphere of
gloom, for we have looked deeper IN
to things than ever before perhaps,
vet, we do lose our buoyancy, but up
on reflection, we find ourselves quick
ened by the worth while in life. TO do
wholesome things, the things that
bring out the gold III friendship, the
deeds of true living for our fellow
man, has accelerated the perception
of the worth while in life during this
great epidemic. Genuine unselfish-
ness has been brought to light
through dependence, resulting in the
awakening to the knowledge OF the
mercy of our Father above us.
He is gracious to us in many ways
and we are prone to forget Him.
True living demands humbleness at
His throne each day and hour of orr
lives, regardless of position, wealth,
fame. honor, anything, anywhere,
for we are all as newborn babes.
This fact has presented itself IN many
instances throughout our land during
the last few months, bringing US to
realize the true meaning of Christi
anity.
We realize that many disadvan-
tages will have to be met, caused by
the handicap under which our coun-
try is now existing, though we believe
all things happen for the best, ard in
due season, ''the cloud" will have
passed away.

men essential to industry should be

NOT ALL RUSSIANS
FAVOR BOLSHEVISM
While 1t May Be Good in Theory,

Of the Associated Press. )-Russian
workmen and peasants are by no
means united in movement to per-
petuate dictatorship of the proletariat.
according to a traveller who recently
arrived here from Russia. Fretense
that such is the situation in Russia
is one of the efforts of the Bolshevik
propa gandists.
For many months. he says, the Mos
COW government has been almost
wholly without peasant support for
the peasants have learned that Boil
shevism in theory and Bolshevism in
practise are as unlike as day and
night. The people Of the Russian viii
lagos and country districts are de-
clared to be SO bitter against the Boil
sheNiki that workmen who are forced
to return to their native villages for
food dare not voice Bolshevik doctrine
for fear of being killed by their rela-
tives or former friends.
To the countrynen in Russia Boil
shevism now means nothing but food
acquisitions. To him BOlshevik is
an outsider, armed with a rifle, who
takes grain at prices far below the
market rate.
The peasants ear is no longer open
to Maximalist theories He cares
nothing for skflful Maxfmalist argu-
ments setting forth beautiful social
and economic doctrines. He has tried
Bolshevism for a year. He has had
much of his grain and other foodstuffs
Wrested from him by Bolshevik grain
cruSades. He knows that the only re-
naming peasant Bolsheviki are shift
less ne'er-do wells and will have moth
ing to do with them.

WILL CRIPPLE GERMANY.
Loss of 1000 lAirplanes Cannot Quickly
BE Overcome.

London, Jan. 4.--For the Allies to
take 1000 airplanes from Germany,
in accordance with the terms Of the
armistice, means militarily Gripping
Germany in the air beyond hope OF
early recovery, while immensely add
ing to the aerial strength of the Allies,
says an aviation expert This is en-
phasized, he says, by the fact that in
five months of the heaviest air fight
ing of the war Germany lost in aerial
combat with the British alone some
thing like 1900 machines. To this
total must be added the destru ction
wrought by the French and American
air services.
The expert asserts that for several
months before the armistice, Ger
many's capacity for producing air
planes was unequal to the task of re-
placing her imm ense losses. This, he
adds, was strillingly Illustrated by the
almost complete failure Of her air
army during the final and most criti-
cal phase of the war.

MAY GET WAR TROPHY.
War Bureau Can Apply if City Wants
Hun Gun.

Hartford, Jan ALL Of Connecti-
cuts 1853 war bureaus have been in
formed by the Connecticut State
Council of Defense to advise the
Council Immediately If a German tro-
pry is desired.
The Defense Council has been in
formed that the Ordnance Department
is planning to bring to this country a
large number of captured German tro-
phies, and that it will be possible to
obtain some for Connecticut. The De-
Tense Council points out to war bu-
reaus that it is quite essential that
any town desiring anything of this
sort shall say so without delay, SO that
the Council may put in the request
within a few days.
The notice of the possibility of get
ting trophies has gone to all the states
and the first applications reaching
Washington will have the best chance
of being favorably acted upon.

Cupid Shies At April Fool Day
 So Do D)ivorcees

Love proved a coward yesterday, when not couple in Maricopa county had the courage to apply for a marriage license.
 For the first time in months a day slipped by without register ing a score for Dan Cupid.
 But the dart of the arrow from the bow of the little god of love struck the calendar on April Fools day. Who would dare com nit the deed on such day? No one," said Cupid" Bergman, who issues the licenses to wed.
 "They are afraid of being fooled" quoth he, who admitted that he had known of such hap penug when other dates were re- corded on the license. However, he considered those who withstood the lures of love for another day a bit the wiser.
