JUST ANOTHER REASON.

You read. IN today's Taper. dispatch from Lon
don by Earle G. Reeves. warning that one OF the
objects which European diplomats for the COM
ing disarmament conference Is the cancellation Of
tle debt Of $4,000. 600 which they owe America
Through a subtle censorship OF newspapers in
Britain. the people Of that country being pre-
pared expect such outcome. Its ministers are
openly asking and demanding It.
II Is another reason you should wrte today to
the president demanding open and fun publicity at
that conference
Il is your money they are asking for-these men
who come by your invitation to discuss peaceful
basis for the world.
You saved and scraped and sacrificed to buy the
Liberty bonds which raised the money which these
countries - badly needed and which they promised
20 repay.
They have not laid penny, either in principal
interest. have paid but very httle in
terest and have collected much more from this
country FOR claims than they have sent.
II may De necessary that these debts be cancelled
but there be no necessity OF cancelling debts
while they engaged in building battieships and
creating large armies
II they come and make the plea that they are
broke that their peoples overburdened that this
debt stands in the way OF a return % conditions
which insure stable civilization. they should make
that plea IN the open Just any bankrupt goes into
the open court 10 evade his debts.
They can make no such claims as long as IL be

THE SURVIVAL OF THE UNFIT
TEST.
Although the pterodactyl.
SO scientists report.
Was patient. kind and tractne,-
A model beast in short
Though no III will he cherished,
His passing was ordained.
But when he dropped and persisted
The wicked flea remained.
The dinosaur, by habit.
Preferred the simple life
Eschewing. like the rabbit,
All violence and strife.
The kindest instinct filled him;
His soul was pure and shy;
Yet evolution killed him
And spared the vicious fly.
The aux was meek and lowly
And placid and discreet,
His time devoted wholly.
To hunting things TO eat.
Yet when extinct they found him
On Unalaska's shore.
Mosquitoes swarmed around him
AS thickly as before.
We bow 10 evolution.
Far be it from a bard
To hold this institution
In cynic disregard
But had mere man attempted,
So vast an enterprise,
He wouldn't have exempted
Mosquitoes. fleas and flies.

VERSE O. CHEER
By Edgar L. Jones

When the toll and worry or work IS
Ger
Though won or lost in the things
l tried,
When I turn my key IN the Office
door
I lock my care on the other side.
And with buoyant step and with
heartbeat gay
smilingly scamper toward home
and play.
Home TO a man should always be
a spot in his world that is free from
care,
A goal at the close of the day when
he
Can rest in the cheer and the
brightness there
And with his family close the day
With cheerful smiles and laughter
gay.
Home TO me is a wondrous place
That I find when the day draws to
its close,
A reward I win when the daily race
Is run in my battle with friends and
foes.
And happily homeward I go 70 share
The love and Joy that awaits me
there.
After the evening meal is through.
And we settle ourselves by the blaz-
ing hearth,
While the twinkling sparks spin up
the fiue,
Il is then I know what my toll is
worth.
Rest and peace and the love find
Is the goal I win from the daily
grind.

An URGE TO PATRIOTISM.

Man without a Country" being given its final show

Most people too prone to take liberty for
granted and to appraise too lightly the previous
privilege of freedom.
Patriotism is a passion which fires the human
heart to sacrifice in times OF peril to devotion
times peace
You saw picture not overdawn Of the Ionliness
that comes to him who puts himself outside the
claims of a country, to him who mocks at the
bulwark OF his rights, who betrays the flag
which protects him.
There need in this country. this time TO

The crawling snake dsloyalty TO American
ditions is trying to into the hearts of those
who have born unusual burdens and to susrt-
cion and distrust OF all government
There are whispered temptings men to doubt
the county which gave birth to liberty and to
flame the heart with hate against the flag which has
foated for nearly century and half the land
of the Free
That flag takes new meaning when there is
pictured the mind the plight of him who has
sanctuary. who holds allegiance. who becomes
outcast and in a world where human bro
therhood is the binding tie.
1t was especially fitting that the children OF this
city given an opportunity for this lesson in
patriotism
The members of the American Legion have
learned the real meaning of that flag. They
