Our Thoughts and Our Dreams


o. it's no, what people may think We
are.
That really somehow seems TO count.
It's the thoughts We think. and the
dreams we dream.
That help US over troubles TO mount.
They form little bridges over some dark
abyss.
Or they ind a little path, through the
wood;
They keep our hearts glad. for they
strengthen our faith,
And they help in our search for the
good.
They make OF the old home a palace
fair.
With gittering towers Of white:
They whisper OF love. Eternal and sure
They're the songs. which sing through
the dark night;
o, these thoughts, and these dreams.
How they mold. and they mar,
They are far more precious than geld
And sometimes think, they'll be just
what We are
In the world where they never grow old.

"The Mollycoddle", the picture just finished by Fair banks, was partially filmed on the Hopi Reservation and Doug is taking the film to the reservation in order that the Indians may see it pro jected. They will also re- ceive from the star, as, a token of his appreciation of their assistance in this pie ture, a projecting machine and a supply of film from time to time. The picture was shown at Keams Canyon last night and at Palaca to- night, showing at Holbrook Saturday, thus giving us a first run ahead of release in New York. We trust New York will not get peeved at Holbrook's competition.
 On the arrival of the party, which included the stars and Mrs. Pickford and some fif- teen or twenty guests, cars were waiting to take them to the reservation. Doug, Mary and Mrs. Pickford will go to Winslow Saturday morning to catch the limited as they must be in New York soon to attend to business connected with screen con- tracts.

Miss Danitza Anguis, of Bisbee, Worthy Grand Mat ron of the Order of the Eas- tern Star, Arizona jurisdic- tion, arrived here last Mon- day morning and was a guest of the local chapter at a picnic given at the Petrifed forest. The star members left nothing undone to make the day one long to be re- membered.
 This is the second visit within a week, that Liberty Chapter No. 23 has been honored with the presence of the Grand Matron.
 On Wednesday, May 19, Miss Anguis was here on an official visit and attended the meeting of the chapter that night when she exem- plified the work of the Order and gave an interesting and instructive lecture. T h e party, last Monday, made the trip to the forest in mo- tor cars, where a wienie roast and dinner were enjoy ed on the sands.
 In the party were Miss. Anguis, of Bisbee, Mrs. w.. w. Parr and Mrs. E. B. Hebert, of Winslow; Mrs. w. w. Newman, Mrs. M. M. Jordan, Mrs. Sidney Sapp, Mrs. J. w. BazelI, Mrs. L. c. Hennng, Mrs. c. H. Jordan.

KILLED BY TRAIN

Evidently deaf and walk ing along the track of the Santa Fe, David E. Warner was struck and killed by train No. 4 Saturday morn ing. With his back to the oncoming train Warner looked around in time to realize his danger but his at- tempt to clear the track was too late, the engine striking him and hurling him to the side of the right of way.
 Quite a considerable sum of money was found on the corpse, but up to the present time efforts to locate his home and relatives have been unavailing. It is assumed he came here from Gallup and evidence brought to light would tend to prove that he was of a rowing dis position and had been in many places in nearly as many days. His room at a local hotel had not been used the night before and no good reason-can be given for his presence at the place of his death.

ONE HUNDRED PER
 CENT AMERICANTSM

Too aften we are apathetic or violently opposed to things which we do not understand things we have neither ex- perienced or seen. And even in the big hearted American has the returning ex-service man found this condition ap- parent. 1 do not say in all cases; for we still have peo- pie of character and breadth of view, who while not al- ways understanding, are tolerant and willing to help the other fellow to keep alive his spirit and thought. However, the home folks in a great many instances while kindly disposed have been unable to understand the ex- service man-his views and his ambitions. He is not wild! He is universal in feeling for his fellow men. Anyone-an idiot-can be exclusive; it requires demo- cracy to a marked degree to develope universalism in one. And we must all be more universal if we are to survive the present day attacks now being made on every Amer ican institution for good.
 The spirit of the dough boy must obtain in this coun- try the spirit that does not
 
 recognize class distinction. The spirit that will reach out the helping hand in civil life just as the service men aided each other in their great common cause The same spirit that caused forty seven men in the great Chateau Thierry battle to share one canteen of water and leave a little in the con- tainer.
 The American Legion was organized to perpetuate the lessons learned on the gory fields of France, where mill lionaire and pauper alike fought shoulder to shoulder, slept in the same fox hole together, were lousy togeth- CT, dressed each others wounds, and gave their lives for each other. The Legion was not organized to run politics nor to obtain money from a hard pressed govern ment, but to perpetuate one hundred per cent Amer icanism learned through suffering and privation.
