SENATORIAL ExTRAvAGANCES

In their opposition to the League
of Nations certain republican sen.
ators seem to have specialized
their attacks so as to run the
gamut of all the racial, sectional
and personalprejudices that could
be fomented as their allies. One
of them represents England as
the author and chief beneficiary
Of the League. Another pictures
Japan as the father of plots
against the white peoples A
third denounces the harshness OF
the terms imposed on Germany.
A fourth plays upon the single
chord of Americanism, which he
says is threatened by provisions
of the covenant. Still another al
leges that a particular ecclesiasti-
cal control is the purpose of the
League.
If any one of these statements
were true-and they are all pure
assertions--the others could not
fail to be false. 1t would be alb
surd, for example, to imagine
England or France, with their
colonies in Asia and Africa,
assisting or permitting Japan to
make the League a vast coalition
of dark races against Caucasians.
1t is no less ridiculous to suppose
that any nation, whatever the re-
ligious persuasion of its people,
would be willing to surrender it's
secular affairs to an ecclesiastical
overload. Even more grotesque
is the hypothesis that President
Wilson and Henry White, one a
democrat and one a republican,
but both Americans. have
planned or sanctioned the dimi-
mutton of American power and
prestige in the League of Nations.
1t is bad enough that these
hostile senators should have re-
course to silly and unjust argu-
ments. 1t is regrettable that they
should ignore consistency among
themselves in this campaign of
reckless misstatements. 1t is in
comparably worse that by innu-
endo, if not by direct charges,
they represent the head of the ma
nation and his sworn advisers as
betraying the honor, the interests
and the very safety of the country
in behalf of foreign governments,
white, black or brown.

FRESHMEN

A meeting was held to discuss
athletic achievements. An ath-
letic association was formed and
officers elected. The officers elec-
ted were as follows: Kennedy
Gilchrist, president; Tennie
Woods, vice president; Saddle
Waddell, secretary and treasurer,
and Mona Smith, yell leader.
The officers have not done much
as yet toward getting things
going. They all intend, how
ever, to come out in full bloom,
with lots of pep" as soon as
the season opens. If it is pos
sibIe, the Stafford High School
will lead in athletics this year.
The base ball boys are show
ing much enthusiasm by having
a short, snappy practice every
evening after school. They think
they will play base ball as well
as basket ball at the Inter-scho-
lastic Meet in Tucson this year.
The school grounds are not
very favorable for base ball yet.
Almost every boy is carrying a
sore finger as the result of a hit
caused by the ball hitting a
stick, rock or bump, but we hope
to have the grounds cleaned up
in the near future,

VOTE OF THANKS

The students of the High

who have been so considerate as
to donate suits for the team.
Those men are: A. H. Ferrin,

Barney, of the Valley Cleaning

kindness and interest on the part
of these men, and hope it will
help our team on to victories.

THE swEETENING INDUSTRY

Few persons have any concep-
tion of the magnitude of the sugar
industry.
Take all the sugar used in
homes, confectionery shops, and
ice cream parlors and it is our
largest article of diet.
There are about one hundred
beet sugar refineries in the terri
tory west of the great lakes.
The 1918-19 sugar crops of the
United States and Cuba have a
market value of $500, 600, 600 or
more. Adding to this vast total
the amount received by the pro-
ducers of the British West Indies,
Santa Domingo and other impor-
tant sugar-growing sections of
the Western Hemisphere, we
have a grand total of roundly
81, 900, ,000,0 600 as the money re-

SENIORS

The Senior Class of 1919 has
a total membership of twelve
pupils. Ten are old members
who have been together since
the seventh grade, We have two
new members this year. Winnie
Foster, who, with her parents,
has moved to Stafford from Pima.
Winnie has attended school at
the Tempe Normal for the last
three years, but will finish High
School here. Lemoine Hackett,
from Springfield, Missouri, will
attend school here, this winter,
also.
During the second week of
school, the Senior Class meeting
was called by Frank Foster, who
who was our Junior President,
for the purpose of eeecting new
officers. AS there are only two
boys in our class, and as Frank
Foster was the only one at the
meeting, the class prevailed upon
him to retain the Office for the
ensuing year, which he reluc-
tantly consented to do. Lettie
Higgins was chosen secretary
and treasurer. The meeting was
then adjourned.
The faculty and students were
surprised Thursday morning by
four members of the Junior and
Senior Classes, who sang the
beautiful Spanish song, La Col
ondrina. Mona Smith and Flor
ence Angle sang alto; Elisa San
ders and Bernice Sowell sang
soprano. Winnie Foster accom-
panied them on the piano.

to remain out of school for sew

BE 1T EVER so HUMBLE

There's no place like home.
That is an old song but a great.
er truth.
There is a great difference be-
tween a home owner and a renter.
The difference is as great as
between a land owner and a ten.
ant farmer.
The home owner pays taxes
and insurance, but he pays no
rents.
The improvements he makes
and the increase in value of prop
erty are all his.
Banks and commercial clubs can
do no better service than to en-.
able people to own their own
homes.
Build a home and own a home
are as vital as get a wife and
raise a family.
Family and home are the basis
of our civilization, and tenantry
are alien to American institu-
tions.

ONLY A SENATORIAL HOLD.UP

The Senate vote of 43 to 40
postponing consideration of the
Fall amendments to the treaty
was a triumph of partyism and
obstruction, and nothing else.
Those who are trying to prove by
this division that the treaty is to
be rejected, or, what amounts to
the same thing, vitality amended,
are far from the truth.
Eleven weeks have elapsed
since the Senate. under the lead
ership of Mr.. Lodge and his
packed Committee on Foreign
Relations. first addressed itself
formally to this subject. 1t was
plain from the outset that a mat
ter involving grave issues of war
and peace was to be passed upon
primarily if not solely in a spirit
of the narrowest partisanship;
but even partisanship has its limi-
tations. While some republicans
would like to throw the treaty
out of the window, as Senator
Hiram Johnson and his followers
propose, there are others whose
only desire is to wreck it without
appearing to do so, and still 9TH
ers who would like to surround
Its ratification with reservations
and interpretations which they
regard as necessary for the
special protection of the United
States.
There can be no question that
under its present reactionary
leadership the republican major
|ity of the Senate is mainly in
clined in one way or another to
rip the treaty, but the trouble is
that its members cannot agree
upon the scope of their destruc-
tiveness. Every energy mustnow
be devoted to reconciling the ir-
reconcilables Ito bringing into
harmony those who damn the
covenant outright and those who
wish to ratify the treaty with res
ervations about which there is no
general agreement as to form.
That is why there was no vote
upon the Fall amendments. Sem
ator Lodge was afraid of a show
down. By playing upon the ir-
resolution of his colleagues he
could easily postpone action, but
neither he nor his lieutenants had
the courage to risk an affirmative
roll-call that would show their
real strength. New York World.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-

thin people Aeshy, developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there arc evidently thousands
OF men and women who kecnly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained In modern
foods Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency 80 we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee Of satisfaction or money

by supplying the body cells with the neces.
sary phosphoric food elements. bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces IL welcome trans
formation in the appearance: the Increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This Increase in weight also carries with
It q general improvement in the health:
Nervousness. slceplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of INrfcct health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness:
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
