incidents, as they were not of the field
trial party and remained but few
hours during the day.
The club advertised open as well as
amateur stakes. The open events were
small enough, but when one considers
the non-support of the amateur events
he must naturally come to the con-
cluSion that field trials in Missouri
are either unpopular or the great ar
my of dog lovers have misconcep-
ton of their value. Frank Fellows
was the only man present with dog
to run. Naturally, a few amateur
dogs could have been gathered up
among the handlers, but when this de-
plorable condition dawned upon the
secretary and the chairman of the
field trial committee, they did the wis
est thing possible under the crcum-
stances-they ran the two open events
and declared the amateur stakes off.
And so we cannot say that the trials
Of the Missouri Field Trial Associa-
ton were brilliant success, more's
the pity.
The grounds over which the trials
were run are excellent and the facili-
ties in the way Of riding horses and
wagon equipment are equally SO; in
fact, better than we have seen at most
places. Furthermore, John T. Burks,
tie lessee of the land over which the
trials were run, took deep interest in
their success, for he and his son, Tom,
practically ran the local end of the af-
fair, and we are sure they can manage
n trial on 4 much larger scale if ever
given the opportunity. Only a small
part of the land that is available was
used. With two small stakes such as
were run, it was only necessary 20
have more, but if the Missouri Club
ever really wakes up from it's leth-
argy and intends to run trials, this
place at Iron Mountain can be made
the place of places for such gath
ering, for the hotel will then be run
ming and all the facilities are the best
in every other way. Perhaps the club
will profit by this years experience
and take in new blood and new men,
bers which will wake up the old MEM
bers, who seem to have allowed these
trials to pass over by default.

TO BE AN AMERICAN

What does it mean? In attempt
ing briefly to answer this question we
trust it will be remembered that this
is humane journal. That since the
day of its first publication it has stood
not only for the just treatment of an
imals but for the just and humane
treatmentof ones fellow men. 1t has
never consciously meddled with poll
tics. 1t has struck hard at such evils
as race prejudice, contempt for men
of other lands, and that narrow ma
tionalism that loves to parade under
the stars and stripes defaced with the
inscription "My Country, Right or
Wrong!" 1t has believed that there
is something greater in this world
than America, or England-greater
than ever was Rome or Greece in the
days of their utmost splendor. "Above
all Nations is Humanity" This has
been the conviction behind all the
American Humane Education Society
has done to reach the children not only
of this country but of every other
country where door could be opened
for it to enter. Its paper, this maya
zine, has not been given to the use Of
pious phrases. 1t has sided with no
particular creed. IL has tried to say
nothing that it did not believe and
mean; but it has never been ashamed
to confess its faith in the ancient ut
terance that "God hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the EARTH" and that
ale is no respector of persons"
Believing at least this much of the
Christian creed, America has seemed
to US greatest when she has been most
the servant of humanity, and least
when she would be it's isolated frog
ment of selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
pride. The law of human brotherliness
holds for nations as well as for neigh
bors. The man who can eat and sleep
in peace while his neighbors are being
crushed beneath some load that he
could help them bear is accursed
whether he knows it or not. So also
is that nation that puts it's own pros
perity, it's own selfish interests first,
and says to the rest of earth's teeming
millions, organized into nations, "Go
your way down to death through hun
ger and want and pestilence and war,
for all of mel" The nation that does
this is itself on the way to death, no
matter what statistics say about it's
armies and navics, it's exports and i'm
ports, and the bills receivable due it
from its less fortunate neighbors.
To be an American, then, so far as
it is given US to understand it, is to
be one who, loving his country as the
one nation most dear to him, and for
whose true honor and defense he
would gladly die if need were, most
longs to see her, and most strives to
see her, the great, generous, unset
fish friend and helper of the suffer-
ing and distressed, let them speak
what tongue or own allegiance to what
flag they may. This is the highest
type Of American citizenship we can
conceive. This is what we would say
stands for 100 per cent Americanism. |
Anything less than this may do for
politics and politicians, but not for
those to whom politics and politicians
are but as the small dust in the bal |
ance.-0ur Dumb Animals.

HOME LIFE PLAN GETS
80 PER CENT RESULTS

Douglas, Ariz-The Phelps Dodge
Corporation is endeavoring to make
permanent the home life of Warren,
mining community, near here, by
assisting its employees to own their
own homes.
The first step in this direction was
the purchase of the holdings of the
Warren Realty and Development Com
pany. This was one year ago. To-
gether with the Calumet and Arizona
Mining Company, the Phelps-Dodge
people added to the town site of War
rem, acquired two-thirds interest in
the Warren Company, which controls
and operates the Warren Bisbee Rail-
way and the Warren townsite, and
then threw open the properties to pur-
chase by employees.
In the first week 256 applications
were received. The company nuder-
took to build homes, loaning the mon
ey to the employees at per cent, in
terest to be paid back in 100 monthly
| installments.
The employees were given the BEN
eft of the company's architectural de-
partment in drawing plans for their
homes, no charge was made for the
land, and only cost to the purchaser
being for water and sewers and ac-
tual building operations.
As a result, Warren now boasts of
a community in which more than 90
per cent. of the inhabitants own their
own homes.
Forty residences have been COM
pleted and occupied in the first year
of operation.

Should not be a continuance of the
present prosperity of the country,
provided we increase production in all
lines. Underproduction," he said, "is
the chief thing troubling the country
at this time.
"The United States, which is the
greatest creditor nation in the world,
must not only help to rebuild devas-
tated Europe, but must furnish much
of the material and supplies needed.
In order to meet this great demand,
there must be 4 greater production
There must be more work and a great
err volume of everything produced"
Johnston said that he is convinced
that the present labor difficulties will
be satisfactorily adjusted before long"
He looks for no decrease in the wage
scale until prices of food commodities
and other necessities come down.

WAR is DECLARED
ON REDS IN u. S.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The year 1920
will be an "open season" for Bolshe-
visits, anarchists and kindred radicals
who are in this country with the idea
of overthrowing the government.
In statement published today, At
torney General Palmer announced that
the policy of the Department of JUS
tice in dealing with the "Red" men
ace during the coming year will be one
of "unfinching, persistent and aggres-
sive warfare" against this class of Of
tenders. No quarter will be shown, he
declared, and every. movement aimed
at the government, no matter how it
is cloaked, will be dealt with sternly.
The Attorney General declares that
agents of the department had traced
directly to this element rs per cent of
the unrest in the country. Acquain-
lance with the doctrines of the "Reds",
Palmer said, was the most forcible
method of ending their activities, and
he urged the American people in the
interest of law and order, peace and
happiness and the maintenance of ma
tional solidarity to study the full
meaning of the radical idea and to
counterfeit it through the teaching of
Americanism in the press, church,
the school and labor organizations.
The Bolshevist does not represent
the radicalism of progress, Palmer de-
clared, but introduces relationships by
force and violence and is distinctly
criminal and dishonest scheme instead
of a movement Of liberty-loving per-
sons

JOHN d. RoCKEFELLER's WORTH

What is John D. Rockefcller's pres
ent worth and what is his present adj
dress? L. Z. S., Quaker. Mo.
No mans worth can be computed
in dollars and cents. Mr.. Rockefeller
has been quoted as possessing proper
ty of all sorts valued at $1,000, 0O0,-
900. His incomes from certain hold
ings has been reported at $4,000, 900
a year. Recently he was reported as
having made donation or established
a foundation of 100000 for the
increase of teachers pay. So that if
that fund is at once liquidated the
founder will not have $1,000 O00, 900,
but only $900,000,000. John D. Rock
efeller's present address is 26 Broad

to develop and perfect his invention

made by his friends, to benefit human

A pioneer in wireless work as we'll
as in aviation, General Squire was at
one time associated with VIM. Marco
nj and was also Orville Wright's first
passenger. 1t is said that, while he
has many inventions to his credit, all
of them have been turned over to the
government or to the public. His idea
regarding the matter is, to use his own
words, "when an army man begins to
think about money, he begins to for
get the army"

CRUELTY OF HORSE DEALERS

Until our laws are very much im-
proved, so long will horse dealers
continue to torture and drug horses in
order to deceive the public and to BEN
eft their own pockets, says Major r.
S. Timmis in "Modern Horse Manage
ment. l am most thankful to saw
that many of these wretched human
parasites have had their business
ruined through the advent of the mo-
tor-they may be trying their tricks
upon the public with motor-cars, but
even if they are, they will not be tor
turing dumb animals which nave no
defense.
Some horse dealers will do almost
anything to horse to prevent him
from showing signs of lameness, or
from showing bad tricks, or to make
him appear high-spirited. Drugs are
used to ease pain and to make horse
feel fresh; overlooking on soft feed
and want of exercise are resorted to
to keep the horse fat and to make
him feel fresh. Nerves are cut to
hide iameness, and worst of all, a
sound foot may be injured in order
to make the horse go apparently
sound on the unsound foot, i. e., by
having both legs injured he cannot
favor one leg.
| think the greatest enemy that the
horse has is the horse dealer. What
horse dealer will not mutilate the
horse to any degree merely to suit q
fashion or the foolish fan
cies of an ignoramus who wishes to
buy horse? All horse dealers sta
bles should be open to public inspec-
tion by the police and humane societies
at Gil times; SO should most large sta

THE YEAR THAT HAS BEEN

The years from 1914 to 1918 will
stand out to the end of time as a pc
Rod of history of Importance almost
without rival. The world war will
effect greater changes than any pre-
vious event except the birth Of Christ
and the discovery Of America.
The year Of 1919 is now history. To
many people it has been a disappoint-
ment. After the lofty idealism and
heroic sacrifices that characterized its
immediate predecessors, it seems an
anti-climaX. Abundant material pros
perity, reckless extravaganza, indus
trial discomfort, revolutionary propa-
ganda, have been the characteristic
features of life in the United States
for the year Of 1919.
This condition of affairs, however,
is not without significance. 1t might
be safely construed to be an indication
Of how the social forces let loose by
the war are going to operate. The
problem that confronts US as we stand
on the Threshold Of the new year is
to direct these forces in channels that
will rebound to the benefit and glory
of America.
The great war was the outgrowth of
a selfish and materialistic spirit. The
German government and people had
exalted mechanical efficiency and
scientific knowledge, and had neglect
ed human feeling and spiritual prog
ress. Today social unrest and discon-
tent among the people of that country,
who but few years ago were con-
tent to accept without question the
mandates of those in power, presents
the greatest problem that the former
great empire has to overcome.
In our own country there was more
discomfort and unrest during the year
just past than in any year Of our his
tory. Some men, individually and
collectively, had been going about the
country preaching the overthrow of
government. They have instigated
strikes and curtailed production. They
have preyed upon ignorance and pre-
JUDGE to get believers in their hair
Drained theories.
AS we entered into 1919 we hailed
it as a year of reconstruction and re.
Mobilization. We pass out of it with.
out having made any notable progress
Congress has been disappointment
National legislation of constructive
quality is nil. Partisan bitterness and
clubbing drove craftsmanship to the
rear. But with all of the disappoint-
ments of the year, we are in a posi-
ton to make great progress during the
new year if we profit by the mistakes
of the past. The interdependence of
capital and labor has been brought
home to thousands who never before
realized it. Employers of labor are
learning that it is best to run their
business not solely to enrich them
selves, but that consideration must be
given to the community and the well
fare of the laborers. Laborers are
learning that they, too, have limita-
tions beyond which they cannot go in
making demands for selfish ends. The
results of these lessons are not yet
observable. 1t takes time for fruition,
but the leavening force is at work,
and if the great fund of common sense
that characterizes most of the Amer
lean people is brought into play and
applied between man and man, and
exercised in business and politics, the
year 1920 can be made a great new
year for our country.-Cape Girardeau

Look For Panic

That there will be no financial panic,
and that the stringency in money mat
tiers is tightening, were statements

members of the Retail Credit Mems
association at their luncheon at the
Hotel Gayoso Thursday.

ion that the decline in Liberty bonds
was but a temporary matter. and that
the bond will come back into its own

on the part of the consumer, and pre-

from its beginning in Japan in June
