 Some of the Conrads whose names appear on the monument are not buried there. Dealing with the Washingtons in the war, Mir. Wash ington said many of the young men had enlisted as privates. "One of my cousins" he said, "has nine sons and all enlisted in the war Two went to Russia and four to France and Italy. There are few Washing tons in public life. I suppose they feel the example set is too great to live up to. There is one who is an admiral.
 Going back to George Washing ton-did you ever stop to think what was the greatest act of his life? I believe the accepted thought of his family is that it was to refuse to be made king of these United States. He was fond of the ladies and had several very desperate love affairs. He was hard fighter, a hard work CT, a hard lover and, like most of the Washingtons, was fond of his family and devoted to his mother" !"

pubicans. they were denied any rep resentation at all by the democratic majority although 19 of the repre- sentatives are republican to 20 dem ocrats.
 The refusal of the democrats in the house to recognize the republi- cans in the distribution of patronage becomes particularly interesting in view of the fact that the republicans could have taken all the patronage had they wanted to. When the leg islature convened, two democratic representatives failed to show up. This gave the republicans a majority and, had they cared to take advant- age of it. they could have organized the house and put in their own people.
 In most state legislatures each rep resentative is accorded a certain amount of patronage. In Arizona, the ruling family has become so ac- customed to parcel out everything among themselves that they have not felt that t was necessary to con- sideI ,I- minority, either III their own ranks or in the other party. It will be interesting to note whether this rather autocratic arrangement will be allowed to continue through the legislature of 1923.

self-reliant and resourceful, frequently extricating themselves from difficult ties, not by fighting but by quicl thinking. Only one thing in warfare they had forgotten in their long strug gle with a dual foe, and that was tt surrender. They gave Quarter-sOme- times-but never asked and never ex pected 1t.
 Their leaders were natural leaders men who possessed in high degree the qualities they lmired in others and found essential to themselves. A few of these men were John c. Hays, Ben McCulloch, John S. Ford and the two Rosses. The ranks were filled with those courageous ones who loved action and adventure better than ease and gain.
 Did Valiant Service.
 In 1S45 Texas joined the Union. The Mexican war followed immediately, during which the Rangers performed such valiant service as scouts and guerilla fighters with the armies of Taylor and Scott that they were her aided as heroes throughout the nation.
 In 1874 the Rangers were reorgan- ized, six companies of 75 men each. But an important change was made in their status and duties. They were to protect the frontier and fight Indians as before, but, in addition, they were given the power of peace officers. On the northern border they fought Lone Wolfe, Little Bull and other Comanche warriors; on the southwest they guarded the Texas side of the Rio Grande against COrtina and his band of cattle thieves; in the interior they pursued and killed Sam Bass, broke up the Sutton-Taylor feud and drove the road agents under cover.
 When not more actively engaged they guarded prisoners, protected courts and dispersed lynching parties days In their double capacity of sol. diers and peace officers they presented a novel experiment in government, and one which did not escape criticism. In fact, all the criticism that has ever been brought against the Texas Rangers has been brought against them in their capacity as peace off cers. Be that as it may, during the ten years following this reorganiza. ton the Rangers pushed the Indians to the very limits of Texas, and at the same time rendered the interior safe and decent place to live in. The success of their work was due largely to the high personal courage and indomitable spirit of the officers and men.
 the Rangers were relieved of further purely military responsibility. and from 1885 to the present they have devoted themselves largely to the maintenance of law and order within the state

Absence of Disease

You may have no particular dis ease, and yet fall far short of en- toying real health. To be actually healthy you must be sturdy, alert, vigorous, a-sparkle with enthus- iasm and the joy of living-fairly bubbling over with vitality and energy. Are you thus?
