Knights Templar Easter Services


Malta Commandery, No. 80, Knights
Templar accepted the invitation of the
Presbyterian church and united with
them in the Easter services. Owing
to the fact that the worst storm of the
season was prevailing during the pre-
ceeding twenty-four hours all members
from out of town but ore or two were
prevented from attending and the line
was smaller than usual. The church
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion. Rev. d. G. MacLcnnan, the
pastor, delivered one of the ablest and
most eloquent sermons ever heard in
the city and one most particularly di-
rected to the character and teachings
of the order. Special music by Il
quartet composed of Mrs. Roy Holbert,
Mrs. Stella Irwin, Mr.. Forest Cav and
Mr.. Denham with Miss Watkins as ac-
companist. The special chants that
go with the service as well as several
anthems were beautifully rendered.
After the return to the temple and the
closing of the Commandery the
Knights and their ladies with Rev. and
Mrs. MacLcnnan and the members of
the choir enjoyed n big dinner served
in most elegant style at the Ben-Mar
hotel by Messrs. Potter and Hall.

PARIS BIRTH RATE STILL LOW
Hope That II Would Increase After

paris.-Tradltions that the birth rate
Of country always increases after a

Statistics Of the prefecture OF police

In the dark year OF 1870. $1,000
births were registered In Paris. or 81
per thousand. The next year there
were $1,000. or "a per thousand. In
1872 births numbered 5000. or 30 per
thousand. In 1883 the high record OF
5000 was reached. From that time
until 1913 the rate declined until II
reached II per thousand. In 1913 the
population of the city was $500 900.

SAGACITY SHOWN BY BEARS
Observers Have Seen and Noted In
stances of Reasoning That Arc
Little Short Of Human.

The grizzly bear, says Mr. Enos A.
Mills. is superior in mental power TO
the horse. the dog and even the gray
wolf. and In his book, 1.-THE Grizzly"
he offers convincing evidence of his
statement. A grizzly cub in Yellow
stone park. he says. once found ham
skin-a priced delicacy. Just as the
little fellow was lifting It to his mouth
big bear appeared. The cub Instant
ly dropped the ham skin, sat down on
II and pretended to be greatly inter-
ested In watching something I'm the
edge OF the woods.
Another young grizzly in the Yellow
stone one doy found tin can that was
open at one end and partly filled with
fish. He raised II In his forepaws and
peeped In. then deliberately turned the
can upside down and shook 1t. Moth
ing came out. He shook again. but
still nothing came out. He then placed
the can on the ground, open end down.
and hammered the bottom Of II with a
stone until the fish dropped out.
In a zoo one day piece OF hard.tack
that a grizzly bear wanted fell into the
hands OF black bear. The black bear
dipped the hard-tack in water and
started to take bite. Evidently It
was too hard. He put It in the water
again, and while II soaked gave his
attention to something else. When the
black bear was not looking. the grizzly.
standing on the farther edge of the
pool. stirred the water with forepaw
and started the hard-tack toward him
on the waves. The instant the first
wave touched the black bear he looked
round. grabbed the precious hard-tack.
which was rapidly floating away. and.
pushing 1t to the bottom of the pool.
put one hind foot upon It. How very

Disaster lies just ahead for the

change it's financial course, reef its
sails and steer for quicter waters, in
the opinion of United States Senator

don all experimental appropriations
To all men with fads that cost mcney

partments they must turn deaf ears:
even certain legitimate projects, es-

await the arrival of more propitious
financial growing weather. The esti-
mates must be cut and slashed to the
bone. Superficial surgery will not suf-
fice the operation must be a major
one. And we must abandon the pa
ternalistic program which has been

years.

A States Defense

In organization, when all is SAID and
done, it is the unit that counts in a
great and diversified nation like the
United States. We must begin to think
in units again. During the brief per-
iod of the war we did so, had to do it,
or we would not have arrived any
where.
One of the first national duties is to
rebuild the state militia. We say it
is a national duty and we mean it, but
we must begin at home, at the unit
II the unit fails, the nation fails. If
Denver takes no interest in the mat
ter of state defense leading to nation
al defense, if Colorado is Indifferent,
what must be expected? Each COM
inunity has a duty to fulfill, even if
the question of n state guard is a ma
tional affair in the long run.
We are not going to have a large
standing army; it is against the ma
tional instinct All the more need for
a large volunteer army. IL may be
years before we have universal mill
tary training. For the present the in
dividual state must be on guard for
itself and if need be for the nation.
Reorganization of the state militia
must be taken in hand by the good
citizenship. In Colorado, as in most
states, progress has been slow. Re
action-actions and reactions. We saw
red and read red for five years. For
two years the country was in the heat
Of war. More than four million young
men were called to the colors in some
capacity or other They believe they
had enough of the tented field" Still
the danger is not over The enemy is
at work.
A propaganda is busy in extremist
quarters to prevent enlistments. So
called Labor" is in opposition. We
do not mean the man who works for
living; we have reference to the per-
son who agitates for a living. better
living than he could secure if he really
worked.
This agitation is exotic but danger
Gus. It is urged on the plea that IL
there is no army-militia in this case
the coming revolution" will be the
easier attained.
A powerful influence is at work to
stop militia enlistments. Those who
would undermine the state appreciate
the need Of beginning with the unit.
If they can prejudice a community,
they have done so much for the revolu-
tionary propaganda.
Serious complaint is registered by
local and national agencies in Denver
against the conspiracy to prevent the
reorganization of the National Guard.
Prosecution is difficult under existing
conditions; il is hard at best to prove
conspiracy. Moral surasion is used by
the would-be revolutionists. Seldom
do they threaten. They argue that
one worker ought not to enlist to fight
n fellow worker, and the like.
The majority of the citizenship must
go to the front and change the atmos-
phere and introduce a vir:le spirit Of
Americanism. An intensive campaign
has been undertaken in the whole state
