There is prime irony in the recent

tured community for a number OF
days 1t was not race riot but
its destructive elements have all
the baneiul effects Of such an orgy
and serve to alarmingly demonstr-
ate that it IS high time for the a.
merican people to throw off their
indifi renee and use every means
TO bring about UNIVERSAL peace and
tranquility. There are so many
significant lessons in this Boston
affair that they cannot willugy be
overlooked. In the first place. the
very men whose sworn duty il IS
TO uphold the law the land, have
deiiled II and left the people az the
mercy Of the mob Hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars worth OF dam
age has been done. Hundreds OF
.oldiers and marines and private
citizens in all walks OF lie have
been called upon TO restore law and
order There have been nearly a
dozen OF deaths and hundreds OF
people injured So reckless was

Another Use for Bunny.

That Belgian hares have other re-
sourceful veins than meat producing
remained to be established by an anna
teur English woman fancler. The
climax of her undertaking was when
she appeared at n large pet stock show
in England with a jaunty, becoming
hat, coat, and set of furs MAIDS
from rabbit skins, which she admitted
publicly were nothing more than some
of her pet rabbits.
In England, $1,000 rabbit skins
year are being made over into ermine,
Arctic fox and black lynx furs to fool
milady. Before the war such rabbits
were produced by scores of millions
In Europe, and vast quantities of the
skins imported to the United States TO
masquerade as real fur. American
breeders are raising the same kind OF
rabbits that produce the best money
for the fur shops, and II ls certain
that as valuable rabbit fur can be pro-
duced In America as elsewhere. 1t is
business that can be conducted
every month In the year, and Il hobby
that will pay its way Is one to be
valued.-IiunterTra Trapper.

3rd.--Increased numbers of peni.
tentiaries, pauper asylums, pool
farms, insane asylums, houses of cor
rection, reformatories and other
places of public detention.
And to these we may add the report
of the Illinois Survey which declares
that the chief cause of immortality
among women is poverty and its ally
ignorance. That Survey found that
rs per cent Of fallen girls had not
passed the grammar grade in schools
because of poverty, and that there
was very low per cent Of immora-
lily among high school and college
girls.
Here we have directly traceable to
the one great cause, viz, lack of
thrift, the chief danger that besets
America today. Lack of thrift with
its attendant products of poverty and
ignorance give us an army of dis
appointed, discouraged and Deepen
dent men and women. If there is
unemployment, they are, of necessity
first among the jobless. Their first
thought is to find fault with the
Government and the country. They
are fit and fertile subjects for the
w. W.. the Bolshevist, the agitatoi
and the demagogue.
There is only one movement in
America to encourage thrift. 1t is
the Governments plan for the sale OF
citizen who owns War Savings Stamps
Treasury Savings Certificates. There
is no nobler endeavor. 1t makes the
citizen who owns Was Savings Stamps
or Certificates partner in the Gov
eminent, makes him a part owner in
his country, it gives him a new in
terest in the flag.
Thrift enables families to own their
own homes. Russia joined Bolshevism
because her people were landless.
Germany resisted Bolshevism becaus,
her farm tenantry is at the vanishing
point. Nobody ever heard of any
threat of Sovietism among the thrifty
people of Denmark, Holland and
Belgium. Men never plot against their
own homes. They explode no bombs
on their own hearthstones. The
greatest antidote against the mad H.
lusions and wild hallucinations which
dreamers are seeking to import from
Europe and transplant in America
is that thrift which will stimulate
home ownership and lift the unedu-
Gated out of ignorance.

COMMENTARY ON WHITE RULE
Indians Have FIourished Only Where
the White Man Did Not Want
Their Lands.

In only two parts of all America are
the Indians as numerous today as when
the white men came-in Canada, north
Of the Saskatchewan. where the popu-
lation is actually increasing; south of
the Rio Grande, In YaQui land, where
whip and sword and rifle have failed
to conquer what should have been
pacitied. In northern Canada the fur
hunting Indians have prospered in
peace for two reasons. The white men
did not take their lands. They did
not want them. The land of the Far
North was only good for furs and so
the second reason, or from purely
selfish motive to increase the output
of furs, the Indians have been treated
with absolute justice If with absolute
despotism. The safety OF the lone
traders life depended on absolute jus.
tice; and. oddly enough, the only Mexi.
can who has ever succeeded in controll-
ing the Yaquis has controlled them In
the same way, by leaving TO them their
lands and by absolute, If at times des-
potic, justice.-Detroit Free-Press.

MARRIED PEOPLE ARE
WELCOMED TO DANCES

A statement was made at the mar
ried peoples dance Wednesday even
ing which should interest all the mar
ried people in Cedar who are live
enough to have good time. Mr..
Forbes said, Ladies' and gentlemen,
it is certainly a pleasure to see you
here tonight and we want you to come
out to the dances and enjoy your
selves with the young people. 1t will
not cost you cent; all we want is
your company and We'll try to show
you a good time if you will let us"
This was, needless to say, followed by
hearty applause which showed that
the married people in attendance APP
preciated the courtesy shown them.
But just why the married people
should expect or receive their enter
tainn1t free while the single fellows
pay, NJ are unable to understand, un-
less it is because it is recognized that
in great many cases it is the mar
ried men who pay the fiddler, when
young chaps dance.
However this may be, it is pleasing
to note that the attendance of married
people at our dances is increasing,
and beneficial effect is bound to re-
suit. Well, why not get away from
your cares and troubles for an hour
or two occasionally, and enjoy a little
healthful recreation. It will help to
keep you young.

What to Do With Money.

If any man in this town really has

very quickly If they'd get together.
