GERMANY
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright, 1921, by Frank Crane)

Chancellor Fehrenbach head of the existing German government in recently published interview, gave ex pression to ideas which should not overlook, and which, being sound common sense, we shall ultl- mately have to take into account
 The gst of what he said is that the Allies fail to realize that the Germans through long training, have been accustomed to reegae to the established author ties all those international and political questions they are now called upon to consider for themselves.
 They are not used to democracy. They new at it and unskilled.
 Furthermore, the Allies seem to be bitter against the German people because they do not consider them selves criminals They forget that for the people to do so would be the very worst thing for all concerned For if they lose their serespect they certainly will not keep their obligations
 This is true. So long as thinks he is rascal he acts as rascal And his only hope of redemption is to learn to think of himself as honest Breaking down the morale of the German people is the surest way to plunge them into further ruin, and Europe with them.
 The real criminals of Germany were its autocratc rulers and those traditional delusionS which kept them in power and the masses in helpless subservience l The war supposedly waged not against the Ger man people, but against those ruling classes who had fooled and driven them.
 Now the Hohenzolerns and their ik have gone. They have side-stepped and the Allies punishing their dupes.
 The Junkers cannot pay the huge indemnity demand ed for the war. They have nothing to pay with. And the Allies are making their wretched victims pay.
 ruined, impoverished, or anarchy ridden Germany will be of good to us, cannot pay for the war dam- age, and will be a new source of danger The better vengeance would be to do all we can to quiet Germany, to give her chance to perfect democ racy to from her poverty and confusion and to become worthy member of the society of nations
 The very best way to do, what It IS of course toe 6 much to hope, would be for the People of Germany France and England to meet, through representatives and take such measures as would restore prosperity y If we could only get rid of the Nation Myth ans ee realize the People we should find the way out.

cases, but are more often the proper ty of local dealers. The onions are sent to market as they are needed.
 Southern Crop
 In the South, especially in Gulf states, there is another onion belt. which produces the other 15 per cent of our onions. These are the Der muda onions which you see figured on menus about this time of the year. They are planted in December and harvested early in the spring. They are supposed to come on the market just as the northern crop, stored the fall before, is becoming exhausted. In this case, the northern crop has not been exhausted. Thousands of | tons of northern onions remain in the market to compete with the south ern crop. And the southern crop won't keep. Harvested in warm weather, it must be moved and eaten within three or four weeks, or II will spoil. Hence. not only is the grower of northern onions being forced to take a very low price for his crop, but the southern onion man is apt to see his crop rot in storage
 This situation is typical of the conditions which are causing the
 American farmer so much distress

Where One Can't Gamble

Gambling is taboo in Cochise county; but it is taboo in very funny way. It is impossible to en- gage in 1t, however ingenious and determined the would be gambler may be. It is forbidden, but the courts refuse it. that is accord it judicial recognition
 Sometime ago the superior court of that county contemptuousy rejected craps as means of gambl- ing and denied the claims of the participants gamblers; they merely crap shooters
 Now justice of the peace at Douglas has again withheld recognition from who probably thought they gambling and who appear have been making honest, sincere but futile effort to gamble.
 When officers appeared the scene these were seated about table which chips lay and piled The holding their hands slips of glazed pasteboard three inches in length and two in width. These pieces bore some of them, picture of fat man with on his head and holding something in his right hand probably scepter Others had the picture of another fat man. differently dressed and equipped. Stn others had picture of a plump and personable female. Reference was made to these pictures those of King" 'sKnave" or Jack" and Queen" Other cards variousy decorated with what were understood to be representations, stated, of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs.
 That all the officers saw. The men them selves doing nothing-not a darned thing. The officers admitted that they saw no overt act committed; play card; saw no man take any money or chips from the pile the table, though of them thought he saw as he entered one of the chips stack at his elbow. position near the center of the table. The other officers testimony however was not confirmatory of that incident But if it had been established by preponderance of evidence ? When has it become crime to shift the location 0, little ivory celluloid disks?
 Of course there nothing for the do but hold that another attempt discover gambling in Cochise county had proved abortive. Yet there are people who believe there gamblers there That's nothing; there still people who believe in dodos and sea serpents

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., April If. - If you are one of those thrifty per ms who cut down the cost of living by buying what the market offers at a bargain you will feature onions on your table this spring.
 The market is glutted with onions. There are said to be 2.500 carloads of them on hand, which will soon be useless if not eaten. And at the same time the human system has a special need for onions. They are, according to experts, one of the very best of spring tonics. Not only do they contain vitamine5 and the mineral salts in which a civilized diet is so poor, but also certain essential oils that have the specific effect Of stimulating the liver. And the liver is usually an important factor in that springtime feeling of lassitude and general indifference which the poet does not sing
 The present glut in the onion mar ket has forced down the price of that vegetable. which took rank as a luxury during the war, to two cents a pound. In the producing regions you can buy them for as little as hali a cent This situation, which is SC happily for the onion eater and so sac for the onion grower, is a part of thf general collapse of the values of farm prOductS-as cOlldpSe WHICH IS uHuef' mining the economic health of th' whole country But it is also du, in part to a peculiarity of the busi ness of onion growing
 There are two great onion- produc ing regions in the United States. Tn most important of these is in tn North. It runs from Massachusett to Michigan in an unbroken bel across the country. then jumps tn prairie states and appears again il Colorado and northern California This region produces S5 per cent 0 all of our onions. From 1t come tn big white, red and yellow onion which you can buy all winter at tn grocery store. They are harveste in the early fall and are placed i ! special onion storage houses, whic are so constructed as to resist tn | frost These storage houses may b | owned by the onion growers in som

Will Officials Be Arrested?

TUCSON-Will the city council find it necessary to place the board of supervisors under arrest? This IS today a much-talked of problem in city hall circles. Can the city do IL! Will the supervisors submit to the contested ruling of the city water de- partment or is it exempted because the court house is not a part of the city? This discussion was aroused by the discovery by an official of the city water department today that the landscape gardeners employed by the board of supervisors to keep In beau- tiful condition the court house lawns are openly and flagrantly in the face of orders from the water department to the contrary using water from the lawns outside the hours designated for that purpose by the city.-Citizen.

We and the Peace Treaty

There does not to be clear understanding of the position of the United States the peace settlements and the mandates under the treaty.
 There is some mental confusion to the object of the exercise of mandate. It is regarded by some as something be exercised to the advantage of the mandatary, while under the peace treaty its exercise was regarded as a duty be performed by the mandatary for the good of the country so served and for the maintenance of peace in the world
 The former view appears to be entertained by Italy which according to Associated Press dis patch of yesterday complains that it has not been given mandate, though under the secret London treaty had been guaranteed "a fair share of the territories of the enemy"
 That we were subject to the duty of manda- tary or were entitled to the privilege of holding mandate though we had not become a party to the peace treaty. recognized by the allies in offer ing the United States the Armenian mandate. That would have been onerous duty which we declined to undertake. but action in declining it did not alter our position in any way work forfeiture of any rights privileges free us of any obliga uons which allies then recognized.
 Since then there have been apportioned to Great Britain. France and Japan, mandates which carried with them material advantages to the mandataries among them the opportunity for exploitation which 1t has been charged they are preparing to embrace
 The peace treaty is in effect, though are not a party to it. We took nothing under the treaty neither money territory. There nothing wanted But previous to the en- toying certain rights and privileges in the countries which have been may become mandates and don't want them infringed by the exercise of mandates. That is do not want to surrender anything under the operation of the peace treaty.
 There is another thing The peace treaty was proposed for the re-estabishment and maintenance of peace in the world. We have right to objec, any proceeding under the peace treaty which may threaten the peace of the world and certainly WI have right to object to any other disposition o enemy territories than that made Versailles.

DANGERS IN FLOWERS

In choosing flowers for room deco 'rations, don't forget that artificial light makes a great difference in the appearances of many varieties.
 Many blue blossoms assume brown shades under electric light, while others appear a washy mauve shade. Only the pale shades of purple look well under artificial light, the darker shades losing half their charm
 Yellow is a splendid color both by natural and artificial light. Real yellow must be used, however, as the paler shades look creamy.
 And vidid scarlet bloom, such as anemones, geraniums. and others look well under electric lights. but should not be placed next to flowers of other colors.

 In the little by the side of the road were table, chairs, a stove, bed and few stone china dishes.
 That was aI;; all except the abounding joy of their young hearts, which made the cot palace and John and Mary king and queen of their sacred domain
 They expected to share each others burdens, and they did. They expected hardships, and they had them. They expected joy and they found it. They expected success and it came.
 And with looking back to the old days of mutual toll and sacrifice the happiest days their lives.
 Now all this is changed. John must have a car and Mary must wear solitaire. The cot by the side the must a modern bungalow with rugs and china period furniture to match fathers.
 Then, too strain of keeping up with the pro- cession often robs life of it's simple joys. A1ary's demands irrtate John. Johns inability to meet them irritates Mary. Clashes become more and more fre- auent until by and by their love-dream becomes painful tragedy.
 In this complex age, 1t would be difficult to go back to the old ways of simplicity and honest con- tent But an emulation of the spirit Of simplicity that characterized the old days would work wonders towards restoring life to more normal plane.
