They have foreclosed the Rio Grande today the

Supposng the Rio Grande management had spent that

Some took the money that earned in Colorado
and it to the Western Pacific and then the

FRIENDSHIP

You do not need score of men to
laugh and sing with you:
You can be rich in comradeship with
Just friend or two.
You do not need a monarch's smile to
light your way along;
Through veal or woe friend or two
will fill your days with song.
So let the many go their way, and let
the throng pass by;
The crowd is but tickle thing which
hears not when you sigh.
The multitude is quick to run in
search of favorites new.
And all that a man can hold for grief
is just friend or two.
When winds of failure start to blow,
you'll find the throng has gone.
The splendor of a brighter flame will
always lure them on;
But with the ashes of your dreams,
and all you hope to do,
You'll find that all you really need
is just friend or two
You cannot know the multitude, how
ever hard you try;
1t cannot sit about your hearth; it
cannot hear you sigh;
1t cannot read the heart of you, or
know the hurts you bear;
Its cheers are all for happy men and
not for those in care
So let the throng go on its way and
let the crowd depart;
But one or two will keep the faith
when you are sick at heart;
And rich you'll be and comforted,
when gray skies hide the blue,
If you can turn and share your grief
with just friend or two.

only one argument for the recogni-
tion of Russia. 1t may tend to settle

prosperity. In conclusion, my advice
to Americans is, if you want to take
action for or against Russia, first find
out the facts. Disregard the ad-
vice of the propagandists of the great
trusts and the czarists who don't
want to know. Action based upon
anything but the solid truth will not
do credit to America in the end
