THE ERA OF IL YEARS AGO

In his keynote address at the DEM
ocratic National Convention the other
day, Senator Barley, of Kentucky,
reminded us that twelve years ago
we were drawing to the close of a
great era" The era referred to was,
of course, the great World War with,
as the keynoter reminded US, "hu-
manity's greatest expenditure of ac-
cumulated treasure"
There can be no gainsaying the fact
that it was one of the worlds greatest
eras so far as its effect on the course
of the world was concerned. We were
told at the time that it was the era in
which would be completed the war
which was to end war for all time to
come, that the titanic struggle would
"make the world safe for democracy"
Just how true these slogans were,
the country is now we'll aware. Since
the close of the war democracy in
many instances has been eliminated.
Three great dictators have arisen,
Mussolini in Italy, Stain in Soviet
Russia, and Pilsudski in Poland, and
there have been. number of lesser
ones. And if we can read the signs
Alright, more relationships are to fol-
low in the near future, the most i'm
portant one, imminent perhaps, in
Germany.
Nor did the war to end all wars
succeed in its purpose. We have had
continual strife, both of a military
and political nature, since the treaty
of peace was signed. There have been
revolutions on every hand, and the
great nations of the world are now
more heavily armed than at any time
in their history.
Twelve years after the close of the
era to which the Democratic keynoter
referred we find the nations of the
world in the grip of the greatest de-
preston of the century, depression
due directly to the imitation which had
it's seeds in the era which saw "hu-
manity's greatest expenditure of ac-
cumulated treasure"
We see now the great nations of
Europe represented at Lausanne de-
manding on the one hand cancellation
of PREPARATIONS growing out of the war,
and on the other demanding that I'm
Gle Sam forgive the debts Of the allied
nations. And we hear in America the
cry go up from the overburdened tax
payers that it is unfair to cancel these
European debts and so add further to
the troubles of the American citzenry.
Despite Senator Barkley's reference
to the great era which ended with the
closing days of the Wilson admins
tration it is not unlikely that this
era will be made an issue in the COM
ing campaign. Doubtless the Repub-
licans, remembering the results of the
election of 1920 would welcome such
an issue. 1t would give them the OPP
portunity of reminding the voters that
the seeds of the depression were sown
in this era which ended twelve years
ago, that the vast sums the payment
of which European nations are now
seeking to avoid, were loaned to Eu-
rope during this era, and that the
results of government control of the
railroads, the telephone, the tele-
graph and other great utilities, left a
bad taste in the mouths of the Amer
lean people which it took several years
to eradicate.

Manufacturers and Retailers Reuiew
Consider the Inevitable;
Arrange Funeral Plans
Shirley Brothers Cite Grief
That May Be Avoided in
Hour of Sorrow.

If some things that must be con-
sidered were thought of in advance
Of the need, a lot of people would
be spared much trouble. The
Chinese is the product of a long
civilization that differs much from
ours, yet has merits of its own.
One of these is the way in which
he regards beforehand the newt
able necessity of leaving this world.
Most Chinese expect to be wor-
shipped by their descendants after
their demise, and. it is essential that
funeral arrangements make certain
provisions for this and be conduct
ed in a certain way.
So the higher class of Chinese
arranges all this long before the
time, making all arrangements
themselves and thereby being sure
of their propriety.
Who shall say that this is not the
wise course? Too often, such things
never are thought of until the acute
necessity of action is at hand, and
then, in the stress of a sorrowful
time, hurried plans are made that,
as they are reviewed, are not exact
ly what one would have desired had
time previously been taken to think
them out.
SO, more advanced funeral
directors ask people to consider what
they call inevitable need in advance
of that need.
Many things are certain to be re-
quired, and the experience of such
establishments as Shirley Brothers
to assist in making arrangements or
to make suggestions is an accommo-
dalton always given willingly.
Their main offices and beautiful
funeral home is located at GAS
North Illinois street, and the COM
pany operates five homes over the
city. Call on Shirley Brothers for
advice now, or for selection of a
caSket or style of vault.
With the foreknowledge obtained
much subsequent regret may be
avoided.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2s.-Un-
mindful Of the Christmas holiday,
the two squads of football stars
preparing for the annual Shrine
charity east-west game here next
Monday continued their long daily
practice sessions today.
After unscrambling their Christ
mas gifts Sunday, both squads
donnned uniforms and went through
a three-hour practice. Each of the
forty-four players was given a wrist
watch by the Shrine for Christ
mas.
Practice at the east camp in Palo
Alto was devoted largely to forward
passing. Gil Berry of Illinois
brought cheers from coaches Andy
Kerr and Dick Hanley as he heaved
toss after toss with deadly &C
curacy.
over at Berkeley, Ernest (Buck)
Koy of Texas matched the forward
flips of George Sander, Washington
State half back, and coaches Dana
Bible and Grin Hollingbery planned
to mold an aerial attack to match
that of the east. Holding a de-
cided advantage in weight, the vests
offensive will center around a
smashing running attack.
A check of weights of the twenty
two men on each squad disclosed
that the casts average is 1874 pounds
and the vests 1875 pounds.
The east made another shift in
back field combinations, trying out
the two full backs. Manders Of
Minnesota and Horstmann of Pur-
due, together with Pug" Rentner
of Northwestern at right half and
Harry Newman, Michigan's all
America quarter back, at left half.

SOLID COMP ANY
ESSENTIAL FOR
INSURANCE BUY
SchIosS Bros. Represent
High Type of Risk
Concerns.

Insurance in its various branches
is so essential to modern business
and to the home that only a few
people do not have dealings with the
insurance companies or their repre-
sentatives. These dealings may &c
all the way from a simple theft
policy to one for total damage OF
property by fire, or insurance in its
most common form to provide a
monthly income for life.
There are so many forms of in
surance that most men are not
qualified, either by experience OF
knowledge, to decide which is the
best for them Most people do not
even try to. They tell the insurance
agent what they want, and depend
on him to advise them as to the
most popular type of insurance.
This procedure is correct provided
the agent is equipped thoroughly tt
give the right kind Of service, anc
is familiar with the various forms
of life insurance, if he knows what
fire insurance policies apply to the
best advantage, and if he is familiar
with the kinds of casualty in
surance, and all other forms Of risks
it is essential that the companies
he represents must be financially
strong, and pay losses promptly.
Consider the Company
Considering these questions, one
should, before buying insurance
whether it be life, fire, or theft, stop
and give some thought to the COM
pany he intends to deal with.
No agency in the city combines
the qualifications of personal at
tention to the needs of every client
integrity, and good judgement to a
greater measure thar does the

CRAZY CRYSTAL
/. DEMAND CROWS
Local Distributor Declares
Thousands Learn Value
of Mineral Water.

The demand for Crazy Crystals is
increasing faster today than ever
before, according to H. M. Thomas,
state and local distributor for the
Crazy Cystal product.
1T is estimated that people all
over the world are learning the Won
ders of this mineral water product
at the rate of $4,000 a day. Judg-
ing from new inquiries, we believe
that approximately fifty people be-
come acquainted with Crazy Crys-
tails here daily" he said.
Crazy Crystals are made from a
natural mineralwater obtained at
Mineral Wells, Tex. They are made
into crystal form through a process
Of evaporation. Nothing is added or
taken from the original product.
Because thousands of people need
Crazy Crystals to improve health
and can not afford the trip to
Texas the plan of crystallization was
devised 1t brings a noted health
resort to the home of every Amer
lean family.
According to Thomas, those who
suffer from nervousness, faulty
elimination, and similar ills can find
relief by drinking Crazy Crystal
water daily.
If you feel that your daily diet
does not give you all the required
minerals, call Thomas, who is
located at ia East Washington
street, or phone Ri. 4818, and he
personally will call at your residence
to explain merits of Crazy Crystal,
in drinking your way to health.
