Eleven Washington girls were pre-
pairing for the program to be given
on Easter at the Takoma Park Pres
byterian church. At dress rehearsal
the pastor discorered that the rolled
down stockings did not meet the
rompers of the girls costumes. The
dfmpled, but unclad, knees shocked
him. After considerable controversy,
and with the official support of the
board Of trustees and the church ses-
sion, he finally got the girls to roll
the stockings up to the point where
he felt they belonged. use the word
felt without thought of levity.
The Washington dispatch is really
Of little Importance. It does, however,
provide a basis fer the observation
that human nature is about the same
wherever found. Kipling wrote that
THE Colonel's Lady and Judy O'Grady
are sisters under the skin" A dim
pied knee, whether displayed in the
shadow of the chancel, on the prone
Bade Of the Leviathan or along the
mannequin's walk at Longchamps, is
source of joyful pride to the pos

hearted and generous always, is will

KNOWING WHEN To QUIT.

When former Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg was offered the nomina-
tion for president Of the German re-
public, he indicated that he would
prefer to remain a war hero and not
beccme a part of the uncertain tur-
bulence of politics. He was finally
prevailed upon to accept, however,
and he is now in the midst of his cam
paign.
When General Pershing was ap-
preached, during the last presidential
campaign, by those who would have
supported him for the presidency, he
Is reported to have said, in substance:
Il do not want you to consider me.
have commanded the army Of my
country in a successful foreign war
and that is honor enough for any
man."
F51 Hindenburg would have shown
considerable wisdom had he followed
Pershing's example and kept away
from partisan politics. I know Of
nothing more that either Of these IA

HER HUSBANDS KEEPER.

William Mccoy, 27-year-old war
veteran Of Delaware, Ohio, was very
IL from tuberculosis. Both he and
his wife felt that he should be bap-
tized. A trough Of water was brought
into the sickroom and he was COM
pletely submerged in it, dying as a
result. According to reports of the
testimony at the coroner's inquest,
Mccoy merely desired to be sprinkled
as he feared he was too weak to
stand immersion. The order for the
Immersion, it was believed by wit
nesses, was given by his wife against
his will.
Here's a delicate problem for court
TO decide. This country is organized
largely upon basis of religious free
dom. If Mrs. Mccoy did order the
immersion which killed her husband
she did it because she believed it to
be the right thing for her to do. Was

Offer No Evidence

Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. BOhart,
charged with dog poisoning, we're
held for trial in the district court
by Justice of the Peace E. A.

ing Thursday.
Judge Franks took the matter under

ing, held in the district court room,
which was comfortably filled with
spectators. He, announced his find
ings Saturday.
Tells of Threats
Griffith Clark, aged II, son of Mr..
and Mrs. B. w. Clark, was the first
witness for the state. He told how
he unclaimed his canine playmate,
"Jack," valuable German police dog,
and with another boy started to play.
He said the dog went on the Bohart
lot and picked up a "weinie," swal-
lowing it before the boys could get it
away from him.
Within few minutes the dog took
sick and died shortly thereafter, and
other witnesses testified to the find
ing Of strychnine in the animals
stomach.
The little Clark boy further stated
that Bohart threatened to stick a
pitehfOrk into the dog during the
Christmas holidays, and that Mrs. Bo-
hart told him she would have Mr.
Bohart kill his dog.
No further evidence was introduced
along this line, the state confining its
efforts mainly to proving that crime
had been committed.
Butler Boy Called
Lester Butler, Griffith's 12-year-old
playmate, was with the Clark boy ans
his dog on Palm Sunday when th5
poisoning occurred. He substantiated
Griffith's testimony as to the circum.
stances but said he was not present
when the alleged threats were made
B. w. Clark, owner of the dog
told how the boys called him when the
dog took sick. He rushed the suf
lfering animal to DR.. De Vore's veter
linary hospital but before the doctor
could get into action the dog was dead

CONFIDENCE RESTORED

When men deceive and confidence is
lost the great bridge over which men
travel to and fro is broken and gone,
and a great chasm or void replaces
the once smooth avenue over which
communication of love and fellowship
mingled together for their mutual
good. No excuse of inability, in
capacity or misfortune can restore
confidence when once it is lost, neith-
er can excuses right wrong, heal a
wound or bring back a restoration.
The thing taken whether material,
social happiness, or spiritual hopes,
must be restored and restored by an
open confession and with just enough
usuary to prove it genuine.
The man who fails to pay his store
bills, or fails to provide way to pay
them after his death loses the con-
fidence of the merchant who trusted
him and those having a knowledge of
the transaction Of the default. What
is true of his store bills remains true
in all obligations. Can the Creator
protect a man who leaves no protec-
ton for his fellowmen?
The man or woman who Renders
unto Caesar the things that are Gaze
sars and unto God the things that are
Gods" is following the precepts laid
down by the Master and Savior of
the World. They deceive not and are
looked upon with favor by God and
man.

THURSDAY, JAN. 22ND, 1925
COMMUNITY LOYALTY

Have you ever stopped to consider
the fact that loyalty to community
interests is the highest form of pat
riotism? Show us the man who is
loyal and true to every interest Of
his own community and we will show
you in that same individual man in
whom his country can report absolute
confidence in any emergency that cal s
for his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who
is careless and unconcerned for the
interests of his community is most
apt to display the same spirit of in
difference toward his government or
his state should any serious danger
threaten either.
Try to imagine an entire state
composed of innumerable commune
ties welded and cemented into a SYM
naetrical whole, each striving to ex-
eel the others, but each, from it's own
local loyalty, developing broader and
deeper loyalty that reaches out and
embraces. the whole.
This would be brought about if we
could be brought to see that we owe
allegiance to our own people, but that
the prosperity and success of others
is our own people, but that the pros
perity and success of others is in no
wise a. detriment to us, but rather a
help, that if each community would
develop itself to the utmost-mater-
tally and morally-none would need
be envious of others, neither would
any need to aught but to detract from
another's interest.
Let US develop community loyalty
to the full-the highest possible form
of patriotism.

FRUITS OF FOLLY

Paris is reaping the natural result
of soviet recognition. Communist
organizations have cast restraint to
the winds, and active propaganda is
seen everywhere. Over 5000 persons
attended a recent demonstration just
outside of the city walls, at which in
ternational syndicalism was preached
from three stands. The enthusiasm
of the participants was not married
by the intense cold that prevailed.
So acute has become the public feel
ing that Premier Herriot has appeal
ed to the French people to avoid be-
coming panic stricken at the COM
munist outbreaks. Opponents of the
present French government declare
that the Premier's appeal is equival-
ent to an admission that a communist
peril actually exists. Happily the
sound attitude Of the American Gov
eminent toward Russia has spared us
similar fears.

CosT OF LTYING


If this increase is made, it is sure
to add still more to the high cost of
living. It viii be recalled that the
country first felt the seriously in
creasing cost Of living in normal
times back in 1910. There were buy
ers strikes, and housewives strikes,
and all sorts of organizations were
formed to combat the increasing cost
of living. This increasing cost caus-
ed disastrous defeat to the Repub-
lican party in the Congressional and
Senatorial election of 1910 which was
solely the result of this high cost of
living.
President Coolidge is not only
showing craftsmanship but clever poll
tics as well in his .wholehearted and
stalwart opposition to this proposed
increase in the Postal rates. If Con-
gress follows his leadership, it will
be heartily approved by the rank and
file of the whole country. The Post
Office employees can buy more with
their salary than they could last year
and more than they could in 1928.

The "Microbe Of Love-" without a
doubt, is the most delightful home
talent production ever staged in this
part Of the country.
The play is three-act comedy
dealing in Dan Cupid's method of
conquering so-called marble hearts.
Many funny situations are produced
by the love sick spinsters and balky
bachelors.
The song hits are right up to che
minute and the whole comedy is a
classy production, in fact, it is a
whale of a hit from beginning to end,
the audience recovering from one con-
vulsion of laughter only to go into
another.

THE PRESIDENT SUPPORTED

1t will be recalled that bill pass
ed Congress a year ago increasing
the salaries of the Post Office en-
ployees, to the extent of $500 each
per year. President Coolidge prompt
ly vetoed this bill explaining that this
was the time for economy and not for
extravaganza or increasing taxat-
ion. This proposed increased Of sal
aries will necessitate an increase
Of the Post Office Revenues, which
viii be accomplished by raising the
rates on the various articles carried
through the Post Office. It is claim
ed that the farmers and business men
have had three years Of hard times
and now that prosperity is looming
it would be unwise and possibly dis
asterous to add this increase.
