 Well, I'm going to have a party for my little girl and l want you to be there and bring Bobby with you," said Mrs. Slater and they departed.
 The day came and still Frances was in her gown of sadness. She was just slightly surprised when the children came in She spoke to them politely and gave them games to play with. then went to where her mother was talking to the other mothers of the children.
 Mother" whispered Frances, Why did all these children come?"
 Why, darling, did you not know that this is your birthday said Mrs. Slater
 T haven't even thought about it. said Frances, going off into a corner.
 The children were playing and had forgot all about Frances when they heard footsteps. A man clad in olive drab opened the door without knock ing The children all stepped 10 one side and stared Then running across the floor Frances came and put hes arms around his neck and he lifted her off the floor. Then as fast as the words would flow from her mouth she said, "Oh, papa, I knew you would come, but when you did not come on that train this morning it made me l feel so bad"
 1 'sOn what train? How did you know I was coming2" said her father. Well. when mama got that letter
 and said you would be here Wednes- | day I looked for you and you did not come. Oh. how l love my papa" said
 Frances, hugging and kissing him Then the children all smiled for they knew why Frances was sad. Ever Bobby had a boyish grin. JOHN NIXON. English H. l Phoenix

A Desert NiaInt

As night falls on the world the desert is transformed as if by some fairy wand into a beautiful land of un- disturbed peace and rest. High up in the heavens the stars look down and keep silent watch over the shadowy earth below A gentle wind rustles the sage brush making a soft weird music and at long intervals the silence of the night is broken by the call of a lone some coyote. Through the darkness the dim outline of the cactus is vis> ibIe as it stands like a faithful sen- tinel guarding the great kingdom of the desert.

A Modern Logging Camp

In the movies nowadays we see logging camps as places isolated from any civilization and the lumberjacks as large. awkward, uncouth creatures who look and act like prehistoric animals.
 The present day logging camps are altogether different from this. The lumberjacks are just the same as men in other professions The lumber com panies use the latest improvements and the most modern machinery. Lee ttlres and picture shows are given to promote interest in their work, bonuses are offered, and many companies have their work done by contract. By this

The Preservation of Forests

In the years gone by the greater part of the forests in the United States have been destroyed. They have beer cut down, burnt and have never been replaced. It was different in Europe before the war. Whenever a tree was cut down it was replaced. Now ii is different. Although the Enropeah countries have had good forests in the past there are many forests that have been literally destroyed by the Euro pean war. I think that forests should be protected to some extent in this country for the coming generation.9 At the rate forests are being cut down and destroyed by forest fires, there surely will not be any left

A seene ln Arizona

Far to the west lay a range of purple black mountains, flat walls of shades with outlines as distinct and jagged as if they had been cut out of giant pasteboard. Beyond the noun tains the sun was setting. throwing out it's rose and golden colored rays into the sky, mixing them with a pur- pie colored cloud that had hung there all day
 Here and there in the desert a giant cactus lowered up high against the horizon, and off the south a caravan of wagons could be seen moving to- ward the mountains.
 The entire scene was a reminder of the olden days when our fore fathers travelled across that same desert sarching for q new home and a new life.

Her Birthday


 The home of Frances Slater was in Illinois She lived in a little cottage, which was surrounded by a beautiful green lawn The front of the house was adorned with a large porch, where Frances could play with her dolls, have her parties or do anything she liked.
 One Monday morning she went to school as usual, but not feeling as usual. She went and sat down on one of the benches in the school yard in stead of playing as she always did. One of the girls came over and asked Come and play Bobby, is it and we are just having lots of fun"
 No. I don't care to- answered Frances.
 They stopped their game and went over where Frances was sitting. Then Bobby said, "Oh. know what's wrong she's just sore cause Bills got another girl that's it."
 Then one of them asked if she was sick No" she said provokingly, do go away and let me alone.g
 One day Mrs. Slater met Mrs. Weap- er one of her neighbors. Good morn ing, Mrs Slater" Mrs. Weaper speak ing first. T understand that your lit tie girl is sick"
 "Oh, no, l don't think SO I just think she's worried about her birthday as no one has spoken about it and it is only a few days off" replied Mrs. Slater.

There is significance, then in SEN

ah has heard from his constituency
and knows the mind of his people.
Accordingly, he has warned the Re-
publican leaders that their record in
Congress and not the promises of a
platform eyen one that. is the handi-
work Of III expert politicians-will
be the test OF their party's fitness for
another lease of power.
Senator Borah knows that it is pat
ent to every other observer in Con-
gress and outside Of it. The Republi-
cans made promises to obtain votes
and control Of legislation. They have
done next to nothing. even under
pressure, TO fulfill their promises.
They have begun this years Presiden-
tial Campaign with more promises. The
aggregation OF talent by which the
next program to be written has for
its chief labor the refunding Of the old

The failure Of the Republican lead

to the country by this time that no

er to his colleagues in Congress would
have been useful few months ago.

THE REAL FRIENDS OF PEACE

4 1t remains to be seen whether the
Republican majority in the Senate in
| the latest. attempt to effectuate ratifi-
cation of the treaty of peace can be
unanimous in action as we'll as pre-
dominant in numbers. They have sue
eeded thus far in preventing any final,
satisfactory disposition of the treaty.
They were strong in opposition; it is
to be demonstrated whether they are
equally powerful in their announced
advocacy Of compromise and settle
ment of those differences-chie in
their own ranks-by which peace has
been delayed and the state of war pro-
| ionged.
With one or two exceptions Demo-
cratic Senators have been willing to
accept the treaty as the Peace Con-
ference framed it, but in the interests
of the United States and all the world
they have been agreeable to rattfi-
cation with such reservations as with
out requiring resubmission of the pact
or imparing the potency of the League
of Nations, would at the same time
express this country's understanding
of its obligations. The points Of i'm
portance for the. public's recollection
are that the Democratic Senators pre-
ferred the treaty as it came to the Sen.
ate, but they are ready to forego this
preference to hasten and insure ratifi-
cation. Their attitude was always
affirmative.
From the beginning--before the
treaty and the covenant of the League
were reduced to formal verbiage-the
Republicans showed their hostility and
threatened obstruction. They have
continued their opposition to this mo-
ment They disagreed among them
selves not as to whether the treaty
should be adopted as it was written,
but as to whether it should be crippled
or. destroyed outright. 1t was di-
vision not between friends and enemies
Of the treaty, but divergence OF opin-
ion between those who would paralyze
it and the covenant with an act OF
seeming approval, and those who
would kill both without qualm or
bubble.
The differences and distinctions be-
tween the Democratic Senators and the
Republican Senators ought to be re-
membered If ratification results
from the present reconsideration OF
the treaty. it will come because OF
Democratic friendliness. and espousal,
and in spite of Republican reaction and
recalcitrance.

LODGE-WITH RESERVATIONS

ceived by Republican Senator'S with
reservations. = The 'frreconsil-
ables" are willing enough to accept
all-that Mr.. Lodge proposes In the way
Of ratifying the treaty Of peace always
provided that this procedure Is certain
to nullify It. They want kind OF
ratification that will mean reputation.
The mild reservationists" pretend
to seek ratification with qualifications
less destructive than. those ". Lodge
has concocted and less Objectionable
those than demanded by the "irrecon-
cilables" he alieniates the "mild-but
firm-reservationists in the Senate
majority. II he yields to the latter,
the outright obstructionists threaten
revolt and detection. Both these
groups make their demand in the name
,df Republicanism-and Mr.. Lodge sur
renders first to one and then to the
other in the same sacred name.
It is fine little game for Mr.. Lodge.
With neither the doubtful friends nor
the known foes OF the treaty willing
to let him proceed to compromise and
consummation, the punative leader OF
the Republican Senate can move in
neithed direction and must stand still
which is exactly what Mr.. Lodge de-
sires. He is ready to make chessmen
IL emild" reservationists. and wild"
reservationists and downright defeat
lists, and then play them to the con-
clusion he wishes most of all to see
a stalemate that leaves the treaty life
