participate in suggesting plans for
mediation, Cancellation and arbitra-
ton, and would gladly join In that
expressed conscience of progress which
seeks to clarity and write the laws
OF international relationship, and es-
teblish a world court, for the DISPOSE
ton OF such justiciable questions as
nations are agreed to submit thereto.
In expressing aspirations, in seeking
practical plans, In translating human
ity's new concept of righteousness and
justice and Its hatred of "a into rec
commended action, we are ready most
heartily to unite, but every ON
mitment must be made In the ex-
erciSe Of our national sovereignty.
Since freedom impelled, and independ-
ence inspired, and nationality exalted,
a world super-gOvernment Is contrary
to everything we cherish, and can
have no sanction by our republic. This
Is not s~elfishness, it Is sanctity. 1t is
M a~loofness, 1t Is security. 1t is not
suspicion Of others, it Is patriotic
adherence to the things which made
us what we are.
Today better than evay before we
know the aspirations Of human kind,
and share them. We have come to a
world and a new appraisal Of our ia
ton by the world. The unseltishness
of these United States Is a thing
proven. Our devotion to peace for our
selves and for the world is we'll estab-
liShed. Our concern for preserved CIV
ilizatiOn has had It's impassiOned and
heroic expression. There was no
American failure to resist the at
tempted reversiOn of civilization.
There will be no failure today or to-
morrow.
Rests on Popular Will.
The success of our popular govern
ment rests wholly upon the correct in
depreciation of the deliberate, intelli-
gent, dependable popular will Of Amer
lea. In u deliberate questioning of a
suggested change Of national policy,
where internationally was to super
cede nationality, we turned to a re-
ferendum of the American people.
There vas ample discussion, and there
is a republic mandate In manifest un-

America Is ready to encourage, eager
to initiate, anxious to participate III
any seemly program likely to lessen
the probability Of war and promote
that brotherhood Of mankind which
must be Gods highest conception OF
human relationship. Because we cher.
ish ideals of justice and peace, be-
cause we appraise international com
ity and helpful relationship no less
highly than any people Of the world
we aspire to a high place In the mora
leadership Of civilization and we holG
a maintained America, the proven re

only an inspiration and example, but
the highest agency Of Strengthening
good will and promoting accord on botl

ing the emotions which no one may
know until he senses the great weight
of responsibility for himself, l must
utter my belief In the divine inspira,

there must have been Gods intent in
the making Of this new world republic.
Ours Is an organic law which had but
one ambiguity and we saw that effaced
in a baptism of sacrifice and blood,
with union maintained, the nation SUI

have seen the world rivet It's hopeful
gaZe on the great truths on which the
founders wrought. We have seen civil,
human and religious liberty verified
and glorified. In the beginning, the
world scOffed at III experiment,
today our foundations of political
and social belief stand mistaken, a
precious inheritance to ourselves, an
inspiring example of freedom and civ
ilization to all mankind. Let us ex-
press renewed and strengthened de-
vOtion, in grateful reverence for the
immortal beginning, and utter u con-
fidence In the supreme fulfillment.
Progress Proves Wisdom.
The recorded progress Of our re-

ability to work out u w destiny,
and jealousy guarding IL right to do
so, we seek no part In directing the

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

The following is the war record of
Frank j. Young and is published by re
quest and is approved by j. E. Sween-
ey, Commander of Ralph Amundson
Post, American Legion.
Frank ]. Young enlisted June z,
1917. Later he was reenlisted for the
period of the war at Chicago, I'll.

M. d. S., End Division, A. E. F.
Previously he served in Co. A 18th
Inf. From Feb. 1911 to 1914. He was
stationed at Vancouver Barracks,
Sitka, Alaska, and the Philippine
Islands. He was a non-commissioned
officer from September 3rd, 1917 un-
til discharged May Is, 1919. He took
part in the Second Marine, StMihiel,
and in the Argonne. He ranked as a
srifle and pistol expert, and was a
mechanic in service.
He was wounded by shrapnel in
the forehead, gassed with chlorine
gas, and thrown 1873 feet by high
explosive shell, receiving a fracture
of the left elbow, from which injury
he has not yet recovered. His dis
charge papers credit him for excel

ceive anything but credit and honor.
Yet Sergeant Young has quietly
worked under the cloud which un-
fortunately has been cast over him
for nearly two years.

To Make a Hole i'm Glass.

To make a hole in glass make q
circle of clay or cement rather larger
than the intended hole; pour some
kerosene into the cup thus formed,
ignite it, place the plate upon mod
erately hard support, and with stick
rather smaller than the hole required
and a hammer strike rather sharp
blow. This will leave a rough-edged
hole, which may be smOothed with a
file. Cold water is said TO answer even
better than q blow.

One of the stock excuses of the man
who orders goods from a mail order
house is that there are many things
that he wants that the local mer-
chants do not carry in stock, and that
1T is necessary for him to send away
from town to get them.
This explanation may be all right
on the theory that poor excuse is
better than none, but it fails to pass
muster when it is subjected to a lit
tie scrutiny.
Ask the man who offers this as an
excuse for his dealings with the mail
order man why he does not go to the
local merchant and ask him to order
the articles desired If they are not to
be found In the merchants stock. The
merchant will very gladly do this, and
the merchant and customer will both
profit. The merchant can sell you
whatever you desire at as low a price
as the mail order house can make you
on goods the same quality and he can
make small profit.
Ine CUSTOMER VIII prOQT from the
transaction, because he will be deal
ing with merchant who stands back
of the goods that Il sells, and who
Is easily accessible in case the arti-
cles purchased do not prove to be
all that the customer had expected.
Give Home Merchant Preference.
Why not try this plan the next time
you need something which you can
not find in any of your home stores?
The merchant In the average sized
town cannot carry In stock everything
that all of the people in his town may
want at all times. II would require
capital many times larger than the
average merchant can command to do
this. but he does the best he can.
He ordinarily does carry In stock at
all times many things for which there
is no general demand. In order that he
may meet the needs of his customers
TO the greatest possible degree, but
there Is limit to his purchasing abil-
ity. He Is always ready and willing,
however, to make every effort to meet
the demands of the cn'nn--,tv Why
