THE HOME MERCHANT
is YOUR BEST FRIEND

Mid pleasures and palaces though
may wend, | find the home merchant
a much-valued friend-the mail-order
catalogue woos me in vain, for to pay
without seeing may bring me a pain.
The home merchant credits till pay
day arrives-he knows all the whims
of his friends and their wives. His
overalls wear like the buckskin OF old,
his buttons amt glass, if he tells you
they're gold. OF every community he
is a part, and even the kids know the
path to his heart. He boosts for the
chapel, the lodge and the school
Community uplift' is ever his rule
And even the football and basketball
teams, look kindly on him, in their
athletic dreams. I'd rather have him
at my elbows each day, than a deal
with a shark, many furlongs away,
Let's make the thing mutual, and
stand by our friend-there's no place
like home, for the money we SPEND

dozens of kilograms from friends and
well wishers of France, urging him
to tone down his remarks so that thew
will not offend any portion of the ma

urged him to "say things that Ameri-

Opens Old Doctrine at
Most Opportune Mo-
ment
BOMBSHELL
Declaration Considered
AS Most Welcome
Statement
(By Associated PresSI

London, Nov. 27.-The statement of
Ambassador Child at Lausanne last
Saturday is the outstanding feature
of the London morning newspapers.
(which, having no Sunday issues, take
the first opportunity today to discuss
what some term dramatic Ameri-
can Intervention" and "the American
bombshell."
Although some regard the ambas-
sador's pronouncement as intended to
give notice of an American deter
mination to have a share in the
Mosul oil fields, this view is not uni
versally put forth and several influ-
ential papers treat Mr.. Child's dec
laration as timely and welcome.
The Times says:
The statement is of wider impor-
tance than anything yet settled at
Lausanne. 1t contains no new doc
trine, but reaffirms an old doctrine at
moment which has been carefully
chosen"
1t suggests that Americans do not
intend to allow anything to happen
without protest at Lausanne which
would make more difficult the main
tenance of American rights when
they come to make their own treaty
with Turkey.
The Daily Mail believes that there
Is no difference between the views of
the British mad American govern
ments, respecting the quality of op-
in the Near East.
The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic
Expert declares that the assumption
hat Ambassador Child referred espe-
tally to countries under British man
tates is a Misrepresentation This
newspaper asserts that provision has
.Iways been made for American par.
icipation with Great Britain and
france in the Mosul oil fields.
The Daily Chronicle, apparently
opposes that Mr.. Child was hitting
t Great Britain.
Nothing is further from British
iplomacy," this newspaper says,
than to steal marches upon the
Inited States and if the latter had
cen willing, to accept mandates in
Iesopotamia, and Palestine we
Mould have been delighted. But she
as no right and now it is scarcely
ossible to effect blind divorce be-
veen responsibility and economic
atus."
Mr., Child's speech is welcomed by
he Westminster Gazette. "As at
asst the beginning cf recognition
at the United States cannot wholly
sinterest herself from European
oblems."
