''deod evening. have you had your Horses fioof eoektail'"f asked a young man last night as he met an acquaintance on Main street
 Say, that was horse on the com mon council, wasn't it?" was the re- ply,
 'Fhe horses seemed 10 have put their foot in it," said the first young man, .'I wonder what Councilman Aair and Alderman Gill will think Of it."
 The foregoing conservation was oc- easioned hy the news story in last nights Herald" that two horses had broken through the Ice at shuttle Meadow reservoir. part Of the public drinking supply.
 According 10 the last government census. there are ai,ios.0o0 horses in the United States, And to think that two of them had 10 spoil it all by "naddling in the water" at shuttle Meadow lake.
 I'm q little 'hoarse' today because I took my water without boiling it this morning" said citizen who call ed up the Herald" with some news and whose voice seemed to be husky.
 Another reader informed Ye Editor that there's an awful kick in the public drinking water today"
 Still another said that all the resi- dents Of his neighborhood were de- hair lips from quaffing the aqua.

Mission at Catholic Church.

Sunday, April 18th, Rev. Father Ell
]. Mannix will open one weeks Mis-
sion at st. Francis de Sales church in
Lamar.
A mission is series of lectures and
instructions on religious topics, and
to bring before the people the neces-
sity Of more earnest religion in their
lives and dealings with their fellow
men.
Father Mannix is one of the best
speakers in the state. He finished a
mission in Grand Junction several
weeks ago and the daily papers of
that city speak of his wonderful or
atory with which he captivates his
audiences.
Special lectures for Catholics
will also be held each evening, ami
they may ask questions of religious
or moral nature. Many times some
people have strange impressions with
regard to historical or moral ques-
tions. Any of these questions, if sin
cerely asked, will be answered the fol-
lowing night. A question box will be
placed at the church door for such
questions.
People interested in religion will be
welcome to these lectures and there
is no doubt but they will go away i'm
pressed.

Sneers at Our Heroes.

The superintendent of the Washing
ton public schools excuses the omi--
sion of many Revolutionary heroes in
a high school American history text
book on the ground that the pupils
have been "fed up" on such matters
icant fact, however, that while no
room was found in the book for the
names of American characters in
events of the Revolution, there was
plenty of space for their British OPP
ponents and what they did. Citizens of
the National Capital are making a de-
termined effort to eliminate the book
from the school curriculum, and the
Washington board of education will
hold a hearing on the subject in the
near future.
What is taking place in Washington
is significant of movement through
out the country to expunge from our
school history textbooks everything

tional politics. A clever writer can
make his point through insinuations
and the generous use of quotations
from other authors without making
any actual misstatements himself.
That is the sort of insidious propa-
ganda that must be guarded against,
if our schools are to perform their full
function of inculcating patriotism into
our children. In New York, Oregon,
Wisconsin, and the District of Coluni-
bia, the authorities are making a crit
ical analysis of the school histories
with a view to making them conform
to standard of pure Americanism.
Other communities are taking an in

This time they are not thinking Of the
sunksn hulks OF overloaded ships three

some mad miracle Of luck still be
salvaged Nor have they heard another
series Of maudlin whispers Of a hoard
Of pirate gold just found by the crew
Of a rum runner hunting a hidden

mond fields that have been opened re-
Gently between the mouth Of the Mag
dalena river and the headwaters of
the Rio arands of Brazil that is filling

wealth with . fever to find fortune
In blue clay beds or along the banks
Of streams that rise somewhere inland

are looking up ways and means of
reaching a likely port slong the gold
coast somewhere between Caracas and

WASHINGTON NEWS
The Race Against Deficit.

The plans of the Treasury to avoid
a deficit at the end of the fiscal year
on June 30 are meeting with a series
OF disappointments, but as new fac
tors appear that necessitate u revis-
ion OF previous estimates the determin-
alton becomes only more pronounce |
to make the books balance. The Brit
ish interest payment of $4,000, 900,
due on June 10, had been counted on
as material aid in ofsetting the eX-
pected deficit, but it now appears that
the payment is to be made in Liberty
Bonds instead of cash. OF course the
reduction of the national debt by that
amount is very agreeable transac-
ton, but the cash will not be available
for present use. A day or two after
the receipt of the news it was an
nounced that the Treasury has discov-
cred other sources of unexpected rev.
enue that would probably mare than
compensate for the diversion of the
British payment, and hopes are still
high that a deficit will be avoided.

No Arrests Yet.

After the coroner's inquest last week
the investigation of the Rose murder
was carried on in secret and if any
thing of Importance developed there
is no public knowledge of the fact. A
finger print expert was brought here
to look over the room where the muir
der occurred, and to which the murder
er or some other person, is presumed
to have entered after the children left.
If any discoveries bearing out this
fact were made the officers are keep
ing it quiet for further developments.

Brum Doctrine Out.

There will be no attempt by Urd-
quay to force consideration at the Pan
American conference in Chile of her
suggestion for an American league Of
nations. Other American republics
joined with the United States in pro-
testing against the proposition. II
was conceded to be a means for max
ing the Monroe Doctrine a Pan-Amer-
lean doctrine and remove its enforce
ment exclusively from the United
States.> Inasmuch as the doctrine is
purely policy for the protection of
our own people, we could not consent
to share its enforcement with other
nations. An American league would
contain most of the objections found
in the world league. While it would
probably be a less evil to become "A
member of New World league, the
United States will never consent to
compromise its independence even TO
that extent.

agencies be instructed to hold their
building activities to minimum for
the next few months to avoid COM
petition with private construction nov
utilizing all labor and transportation
facilities to the fullest extent" Mr..
Hoover argues that the Government
could be of greater service to the ma
tion by abstaining from adding fur
ther to the load already being carried
by the construction industry than by
entering the field when it could hard
ly aid an employment situation now
approaching n problem of labor short
ages in some sections.
1t was just shortly after the Repub-
lican Administration came into pow
er and raised the lid on the horrible
mess bequeathed to it by the Wilson
regime, that the cry went up for the
Government to appropriate millions
upon millions of dollars for public
works and begin construction immed-
lately in order that some relief might
be given to unemployment. And now
the Government is asked to lay off in
order that private industries may find
some relief from labor shortage. In
1920 the taxpayers were to be sifted
in order that the unemployed might
buy bread and shoes with Federal
wages. Today factories, farms, rail
roads and mines are irritated by the
thought of the Government being
competitor for the labor supply. They
don't want the Government in business,
even business of its own. What a

Nickname Made Los Angeles Famous.

In commenting on Los Angeles, the
Boston News Bureau says:
Bestowed years ago in derision by
labor union leaders, Los Angeles ac-
cepted the title and proudly claims it
today. "The Scab City" That nick
name, intended to be weapon against
the city, has been instead an imple-
ment for its marvellous growth which
is dazzling even when compared with
the history of the other wonders of
America.
Liberty under the law is the
foundation principle of industrial re-
lationship in Los Angeles.
To-day every resident of Los An
geles is ready to cite facts and fig
ures to illustrate the advantages the
city has reaped from its industrial
freedom. Facts of record sustain their
claims that Los Angeles was the thir-
ty-seventh industrial city in the United
States in 1910 and the tenth in 1920,
that the value of its manufactured
products in 1900 was s15,000,00 and
in 1921 SsOO,OO0,OOO that last year
more than 500 new industries were es-
tablished that the city now employs
$1,000 artisans at wages higher than
those that prevail in other parts of
the country, and-what is of immense
significance-that, owing to its eman-
cipation from the union rules oper-
ative elsewhere, Los Angeles gets a
good deal more for its money than do
other American cities.
at is a great story, story for 9th
er cities to ponder. No wonder Los
Angeles hesitates not an instant to
advocate itself by the name its enc
mics bestcwed-the Scab City,"

added, "And her presence here alone
can make your happiness. Give your
granddaughter welcome, and her
young husband, who shall be n
strength to you. And If you still wish
me to stay ON then, as your secre-
tary-" Which was at last the ar
rangement. And because Jared had
learned that love is stronger than
power, they all lived happily together
ever after-that is, until Rhoda found
her own greater love-which is an
other story.
