LEAGUE MEANS
GREAT ARMIES
CLAIMS BORAH
viii Call for Most Stupendous
Armament in History, He
Declares.

WASHINGTON, June &c. - The
League OF Nations will call for the
most stupendous program of arma-
ment in the worlds history, Senator
Borah, Of Idaho, declared In the SEN
ate In attacking the increased allow
ances for an army of 100000 in the
military appropriation bill.
The senator ridiculed the claim
made by advocates Of the league that
1t will bring peace and a reduction of
armaments.
He proved that all Of the nations
which are engaged In promoting the
league including the United States,
are planning to spend more money
for their armies and navies than ever
before
Quotations from General March and
Admiral Badger to the effect that In
creases In the army and navy were
made necessary by the League of Ma
tons were used by Senator Borah' in
his speech.
Quotes British General
General Maurice Of England, was
quoted as having said that "a large
army and navy will be needed, and
the American republic will be expected
to do her share"
Senator Borah denounced the action
of the peace conference in not incor-
porating In the treaty provision to
make disarmament compulsory. He
said it was not done because such a
plan would have interfered with the
militaristic ideas of the European
nations.
He also criticized the failure to have
the treaty to contain a prohibition
against conscription, and said that
by reason of this failure the nations
are left to apply CONSUMPTION when
ever they choose.

Kent Busy Saluting.

There are so many foreigners in
New York, wearing uniforms of all de-
scriptfons. that it is impossible TO tell
who is who, but the "doughboys'' and
the mCn-O'-warsmen never fail to sa-
lutte them. One afternoon an Ameri-
can soldier with service stripes on his
sleeve and an American sailor similar
" distinguished turned the corner of
Thirty-fourth street anu stroIled down
Park avenue in front of the Wander
bilt hotel. At the same time Hindu
with head Communications and a gor-
geous scarf surmounted by a fez
turned the corner of Thirty-third
street and started north. The soldier
and sailor passed the Hindu with the
snappiest Of salutes and then both
turned around to watch him recede-
"What is he?" asked the sailor, "a
generate" lord knows" answered
the. soldier. They turned back on
their course saluted the gorgeously

Saw SPANS Start as Nation.

In the full historical and national
sense CovadonGa is the name of what
is probably de most significant place
in the world for Spain, who certainly
regards it as such, and now TO the
utmost Of her capacity celebrates the
twelfth centenary of the great event
that is associated with the beautiful
little town that nestieS on the sides
of the Austrian hills. The king and
queen. all the dignitaries of the land,
and the people in general joined in
great celebration. 1t was at-Sova-
donga in us, says the Madrid CORE
spondent of the Christian Science
Monitor that the Moorish hosts were
thrown back and there took place the
beginning of the great reconquest
which gave Spain back to herself and
started her as a nation. The Span
iards say definitely that their nation
atty dates from Covadonga in 71S.
This, evidently, is a good reason for
great celebrations, and TO some people
1t may seem well that ut such mo-
ment the nation and its leaders can
completely detach their minds from
the somewhat irOnical circumstances
of the present international political
situation of the country. Nothing has
been permitted to mar the success OF
this commemoration.

ARE YOU PAVING TOO MUCH FOR

LIN DID ONCE.

When Franklin was a child of
seven he was given lot of pennies
one holiday fastening into a near
by toyshop he voluntarily gave all he
lad for a whistle little later he
discovered that he had paid four
times too much for his toy. Realiz
ing how many other things he might
have had in addition, he wept with
vexation and got no more pleasure
from thew histle. He never forgot
the incident Afterwards, whenever
an outlay in time. or money, Or en-
ergy, he would say ii himself. Don't
pay too much for the whistle.
Lots of folks are using up all their
energy on some SNOWY thing that
gives them no comfort. Some are
lavishing valuable time on a few IN
important tasks. Others willingly
blow In an entire weeks salary on
one evening of frivolity robbing them
selves of all manner Of pleasure for
an indefinite period.
Others sacrifice the best of their
talents in pursuing some fruitless am
bition. Still others forego the sim
rle, natural joys Of life in worship
ping a snobbish ideal.
They are all paying too much for
their whistle.
How is it with you?
Are you paying too much for your
whistle? Or are there some 1919

Ben Franklin was a thrifty man.
To smooth the way, to help along
Instead of squandering what he got
He used frugality.

In gaining his ambition.

And twas this partnership Of thrift
Gave them happy life.

Every Member in the Fa!niIy.
Benjamin Franklin Gave Us G'rts
We Shall Never Cease Using.

We snail Never lease Using
BENJAMIN Franklin, whose picture
adorns the 1919 or Franklin issue OF
War Savings Stamps, receives unique
recognition from the country when
gave him birth and which he. in turn
helped to make nation.
Born in Boston on January IT, two
hundred and thirteen years ago, ne
began his career at the age Of ten IN
his fathers trade of tallow chandler
and soap boiler. Dissatisfied, he
later became an apprentice IN MS
brothers printing office and such was
his character that he quickly rose to
an Influenced position and subse-
Cuently became one of the most illus
trious figures Of all times.
He not only amassed wealth
through wise spending, sane saving
and secure investment, but saved
time to give himself complete edu-
cation, developing his gifts to the ut
most as a writer, philosopher, sclen-
fist and statesman. He founded the
Philadelphia library, the American
Philosophical Society and the Uni
yersity Of Pennsylvania; he discov-
cred that lightning Is discharge OF
electricity; he was Postmaster OF
Philadelphia and later on Deputy
Postmaster General OF the British
Colonies in America; a slgner of the
Declaration of Independence and
Minister Plenipotentiary from the
United States to France. All this
when there were no typewriters, no
telephonDAl2d few facilities for trav-
cling
Franklin always ascribed his
achievements to careful saving and
spending of money, Of time, OF en-
ergy. A great part of his writings
were devoted to the happiness and
other benefits resulting from thrift,
and he took pains to make clear the
distinction between miserliness and
sane saving, just as he did the diff
ference between leisure and laziness
In Fran1lin's day the almanac was
the most popular form Of literature
and for many years Franklin was the
author of an almanac signed by one
Richard Saunders, in which informa
ton regarding the weather, etc, was
mingled with wisdom emanating from
Poor Richard" These sayings are
familiar to every American.
For instance, Poor Richard" said
t'Time is money. Lost time is never
found again. He that waits upoT
fortune is never sure of dinner
Look before or you'll find yourself
behind. Beware if small expenses;
small leak will sink a great ship"
So. on Franklin's birthday anniver'
sary, the United States pays to it:
great counsellor the fine compliment
of putting his teachings into prac
tice. .Tudiciors buying, wise saving

RACE FUR FORTUNE
 |S WON BY HUDSON

FORT WORTH, Texas, March o. Driving through one of the worst bliz- cards that ever struck the Texas oil fields, R. II. kimsey, of Fort Worth, won a thrilling race against time with a fortune as the stake.
 Receiving word that a well was about to come in at Desdemonia, in the Duke oil fields,' he declared, T took my Hudson Super Six and started for the scene, as it could only be reached by automobile. When I reached Des- demonia, the well was making a strong flow of gas which changed first to spray oil and then to a stream of oil.
 In the meantime a bad mortimer ac- companied by the worst snowstorm the country has ever experienced, hit the oil fields. Telegraph and telephone wires were down and trains were de- layed. There was nothing to do but 10 turn once again to the Hudson
 With truck chains on the rear and weed chains on the front wheels, we started in the very teeth of the fierce sale which was raging. The snow at times came up to the hubs, covered the windshield and headlights and it was necessary to stop every half mile to flean them off.
 But after terrific battle we reached Stephensville and caught a .4rain to Fort Worth where we arrived before wire news of the new oil well feached there, which enabled US to take options on some valuable leases"

PLANS TO KEEP ALL
 CUSTOMERS PLEASED

I've do not sell Horse Shoe Tires just because they are good tires,' said MT. Mercy, of Vans Tire House, yes terday, "but we sell them with an idea of resening every car owner who buys them. We do not feel that when we have sold you a good tire we have your business permanently, but we know that in order to keep our busi- ness we must give service at all times. With this in mind we have endeavored to obtain efficient men in our repair department and to turn out the work in good shape in record time.
 Furthermore. we realize that satis- fled customers are a big asset and always try to handle our accounts and adjustments in such a way that every customer is a satisfied one. We also know that there are other good tires made, but that does not concern us. We know what the Horse Shoe tire is and what it will do and we know of many Horse Shoe owners who are getting from ten to twelve thousand miles out of their tires.
