It is a notable and refreshing fact that in Canada it is impossible for a man to offer his services for the army without written consent from his wife. Of course no man with properly developed faculties would think of avoiding military duty, were the Jives and homes of his family in 'rolved, but there has perhaps boon no conflict during the past fifty years, in which such issues were at stake. That society will spend thousands of dollars in the prosecution and execution of a man to avenge the death of another individual member of society, and at the same time view with favor and incouraging comment on the business and indus try of spending what seems to be limitless millions on the wholesale taking of millions of lives on what is often but a fancied grievance. It has been truthfully said the band that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. Were it not for the fact that any man with a uniform trimmed in brass buttons is a hero in the eyes of all female society, the entire business of war would assume a different appearance to the young men of the entire world. In this as in most other affairs the wives and mothers of the country can and do exert more influence, either good or bad, than they realize. We know that' such expressions are not. popular at pres ent, yet we offer the prediction that wholesale murder and individual deeds of the same character will be viewed alike during the coming years; justifiable only in the actual protection of life, or more plainly, ;n self defense. CLEAN UP-WEEK. The governor has set aside a week early in May, as clean up week. Many of the towns of the state have already acted on the suggestion, and issued a like proclamation, and some of our neighbors have already celebrated the event and Redmond is announcing the town as clean as a pin. in uena, the city council supplied wagons for hauling awuy the rubbish. It is Prineville's move Let's get together and make it go right. TWO BIG ATTRACTIONS AT LYRIC NEXT WEEK THE CITY PARK. It is high time that work should be started on the city park. The heaviest part of the preparation of the park has been completed and it will take but little effort and capital to make a very nice park, one that will be a credit to any town. At the last meeting of the city council, it was suggested that an artesian well be drilled by the city in the park. It is possible that a well that will supply fountains and the like could be drilled at a low cost for such wells, and it seems that a flow of some strength could be had with out question. Whatever is done in the way of planting roses and other shrubbery sjust be done soon. On Monday, April 5, the Ladies' Glee Club, under the direction, of Miss Blanche E. Williams, will ren der a merry musical program at the Lyric Theatre, consisting of tuneful glees, chorouses, songs and special ties, assisted by the Lyric orchestra. Four special numbers deserve par ticular mention, viz. "Back to Panama", a honeymoon trip for four couples. In a Japanese Gar den, with Miss Omit Taoku and Geisha Girls. "Then" and "Now", a classy duo, who are the latest ex ponents of the erpichorean art, and "Ship Ahoy!" a rousing finale. The ladies have aptly named this attraction the "Follies of 1915," and those who remember their simi lar entertainment of a year ago may vouch for the coming event. Beautiful color effects will be used in some of the specialties. In all, a two-hour entertainment of music, songs, solos, glee club chorouses, specialties and pictures, is promised. Reserved seats are now on sale at the Lyric Theatre. The other attraction, which demands attention is the film version, "Tesss of the Storm Country, with Mary Pick ford, America's most popular screen actress, in the role of Tess." This picture is the third Paramount program to be presented at the Lyric, and will be shown Wednes day, April 7, seats reserved. The story of Tess, with her quaint phil- osphy of life, humorous and pathetic, presents one of the most power ful character sketches ever conceiv ed. Patrons who wish choice seats, are urged to speak for them early, as the tremendous popularity of this picture, wherever shown, makes safe the prediction that some may be disappointed in'norbeing able to see this play.

The answer is easy. Prineville has never gone out for a better mail service, and naturally the postofficej department is satisfied if Prineville fc. Investigation discloses the fact that approximately three-fourths of the mail that comes to Redmond for I this point arrives there on the even-' nig train, and under the present1 arrangement, this mail lies at that point until the arrival of the morn ing train. A united effort by the business people and citizens of Prine ville would without question, secure a twice-a-day service. The question ramains, why not? Total expenditures S4, 100.its.lt Assets.
