signed by the high dignitaries but the heavy burdens must be shouldered by the future generations yet unborn.
 The salute books of the civ- ilized Nations of the world contain no law legalizing the murder of one citizen by another through controversy that could be settled in the courts of equity provided for that purpose, and so it is with Nations. Differences should be settled in an international court of equity, instead of on the field of battle.
 Let every citizen of this country, every Christian min ister, no matter what denom- inaion, realize the seriousness of a situation that calls for the expenditure of 88 cents out of each dollar for war as is now being done, and enough pressure will be brou- ght on Congress to stop 1t in quicker order, or Representa- tives will be elected who will put a stop to it.
 Let us put a stop to feeding these billions of hard earned dollars into the coffers of the billionaire steel and pow der corporations, whose mon- ey chests are already filled tC the bursting point with wal profits. Let us, rather, turn these billions into the chan nels of commerce, where they will benefit agriculture, eivi- lization, and humanity at large. Let America be first

of others. We stop awhile and think. The price is paid and what are the results?
 Russia, the home of imper- iahsm, strict law and order, under the Car, has, under the bloody banners of Lenine and Trotzky, become a Nation of terror, famine and death, and the lives of tens of mil- lions of innocents are at stake a Nation with teeming mil lions in want, and summed by the balance of the world. On the borders of Germany and Poland the camp fires of op- posing armies are still burn ing brightly, and the rattle of machine guns in action can still be heard, while the Kaiser, living in regal splen- dor, farther away from his enemies than when wearing the Crown of Emporer, looks on amusedly.
 In other countries closer home, Prime ministers, for eign ministers, and other high potentates are becoming in- tensely unpopular, and are about to be unseated. Truly, the seats of the mighty are decidedly unsafe.
 All of which goes to prove that war is futile in these modern times, as the abolish ment of one evil by war is re- placed by even greater evils after peace is made.
 War is an unnatural, un- clean monster, that is slowly eating into the vitals of civ ilization that will destroy it unless checked. One week of conflict will destroy what it has taken Christianity and nor mal progress century to build, and it's evil influence unfortunately does not end when articles of peace are

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

Business Mems Associations of the Chamber of Commerce type have had the strong and weak points of the commer- cial community. Business men are engaged in the competi- tive management of industry with personal reward as the motive. When they unite for advancement of the business of a town, they show much the same characteristics that they do in their daily labor.
 They have the initiative and drive that goes with an individually owned enterprise. The competitive struggle de- velops the qualities of self help and impatience with de- lays, and the tendency to measure the success of the effort in terms of money gain or loss. These qualities will appear in a we'll managed business mans organization, and they give it the power that accomplishes large re- suits.
 A good community organi- zation, however, demands something more. It must man. fest the spirit of co-opera- tion and getting together, of harmony between business rivals, of tolerance of conflict. ing views. The organization must not expect that it's re- suits can be wholly measured in terms of dollars and cents. It must work also for social happiness and welfare of the people and for service to all interests in the community.
 A good many business mems organizations have failed to accomplish much, because they looked to commercial profit alone. If their money mak- ing enterprises happens to fall down, they had accom- plished nothing for civic ad- vancement, and the people would feel that their effort had been fruitless.
 A broad and modern busi- ness mans movement will make civic advancement and human welfare its first ob- jective. When it attains that business gains will follow as a necessary incident.

favorites as Dolly Sweet, Owen

which is well calculated to open the
eyes of connolsseurs of feminine
beauty. The management has pro-
vided it's members with a dazzling
wardrobe and has also given them
tuneful musical and terpsichorean
numbers in which to appear. Novel
