Nobody predicted the war would end so soon, except the writer, who said in August that it would not last three months. This was a guess but it proved true. The republicans in the upper and lower house under the leadership of the brutal Penrose, the kaiser of the republican party, will overplay their hand and the vast sum they have ex pended to elect U. S. senators will be taken back from the people many times by cunning legislation. New berry, the newly-elected senator from Michigan, spent nearly half a EC Worked by Day, Read at Night CHE MONEY President Lincoln earned as a rail splitter he put in the bank. In later life, he often referred to his first banking account. At night he read every book he could lay his hands on. Have You a Bank Account ? If you havn't, start one with us today. We'll gladly explain our simple, safe method of doing business. A bank account is a touchdown on the road to the goal of success.

Depository) MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE BANK E3 million dollars to secure his seat, while Ford did not spend a cent and then, in a republican state, Ford was oniy iu,uuu votes behind. Tim Gunn, who filed on a piece of vaiuame timber land near Sandy, in the final outcome received 40 acres which, he says, he would not take $20,000 for, and he got it for SI it being O. & C. land at $2.50 an acre. This is a good stroke of luck. His land is all level and will cruise 3,000,- 000 feet of big timber. He filed on 160 acres and lived there before De- cember 1913. It was decided that he could have the 40 acres where he lived. We had a big celebration here on Monday night. About midnight a party fired an enormous dynamite charge that shook the buildings. It is likely this government will begin to empty the cantonments soon and bring back the fighting units from France, as there is no more fighting to be done. As regards to Keeping order, they are all fed up with fighting and the only thing they want now is something to eat, Ihese peace terms were a terrible blow to Germany, as their bright dreams are faded and they are abso lutely helpless to do any more'dnm age. The All Highest is now the All Lowest and there is nobody, no mat ter how poor, who would change places with the kaiser today. England, France, Italy and the United States are now blood broth ers and make a combination that will maintain peace and order all over the world. Ships that have been carrying ma terial to take life will now carry ma terial in the way of food to sustain life in Russia, Belgium, Serbia, Aus tria and probably Germany before spring. Twenty million people were killed in the great war and if they had been left alone they would have died themselves. Schools will start up next week and the good news of peace has driv en fear of the "Flu" out of peoples minds and they will soon forget all about it. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Mclntyre are rejoicing over the arrival of a little boy. This is their only boy and of course the only boy for them. WAR IS OVER, "PEACE ON EARTH" (Continued from Page 1) boundaries into their own desolate fields. Germany faces the loss, tem porary at least, of all her lands across the Rhine. Alsace-Lorraine has come home to her much loved France, and Luxembourg and Bel gium are free. And of the states of Germany, Prussia, Baden, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Saxony, Hesse, Reuss, and at least five other German states have planted their shoes upon that part of the anatomy of their kings and princelings where it will do the most good, and have kicked them in to oblivion. Germany is steering its course towards a republican form of government with the social demo cratic party at the helm, and here i hoping that they may escape the Scilla of Bolshevikism on the one hand and the Charybdis of dissolu tion on the other. For the sooner an honest-to-goodness government of the people and by the people and for the people is established in leutonic lands the sooner our boys will come home. The war is over, but there is time neither for pessimism nor for any letting down on our effort. We heard of a woman who wanted to cash in her War Savings stamps the next day after peace was declared, and who thought she did not have to complete her pledge. The boys are still across three thousand miles of water. Bringing them home at the very swiftest, they could not all be got back in less than a year. It will be still longer, for those new gov ernments rising upon the ruins of the old empires must be policed until they are safe from the danger of anarchy. Maybe two years is a safe estimate before they all get home again, even if things work out at their very best. Our army is today at its maximum, and it needs mon than ever before to support it. So until the boys are safely under the home roof-trees we must stay by them without any relaxation. Unit ed drives, War Saving stamps, Lib erty loans, still will probably be" call ed for, and we must conserve food for this winter, at least, because it is up to us to feed the world. Some fear the consequences of the war upon trade, labor, and the farm There is no prospect of any drop in prices for agricultural products for quite a while, at least. Europe must be rebuilt. Lumber is at a premium in the old lands. They have wast ed far beyond the danger line in Ger many, France, Italy, Austria and Roumania, and must reforest and re build. Every stick must be saved at home. To America they must look for building materials. And no part of America is so well fitted to meet their need as this Pacific coast. The ship-building program is still to go on. America has at last come to its own as a common carrier for the world, and now the American flag is destined to be carried on American bottoms to every port under the sun, From the arts of war, munitions, etc, it is easy to turn to the arts of peace, Airplane building will still go on Every town in the near future will have its hangars, and the air will out vie the highway for both private and public travel and traffic. South of us lie potential empires.- Mexico with a territory nearly half the size of the United States. Brazil, a lit tle larger than the . States without Alaska. Argentina, Chili, Bolivia Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru every one as large as from one, to half a dozen Germanies thrown into one, are awaiting our trade, They are done with the Hun, and are will ing to trade with us if we give them half a chance. The states of South America will contain a population half as large again as that of all Europe before the century has passed. and with this immense Spanish speaking population we must at once build up permanent trade and peace relations. And we must not do this by unfair means, but by honest. friendly, honorable dealing, by sell ing goods worth every peso they pay for them, and by considering their interests as well as our own. If we manage wisely we shall enter upon an unprecedented period of prosperity, While all Europe is swinging into Social Democracy, the workman must be considered as never before in America. The workers are the mass of the American people. They are slowly coming to their own. And they are destined to do all that is right and necessary without revolu tion. Schooled in self-government and ,self-repression, intelligent, hence in no danger of Bolshevism, they find the ballot more potent than the bullet, and gradually America is destined to evolve new forms of government which shall escape the crudities im posed upon the old world by the dreamer and the impractical. A new day is dawning for humanity, and America's place in its sun is that of unlimited service and honor and pros perity.

Anything that we can do to maintain the freshness of their outlook, to conserve "their usefulness to their native land, to show our gratitude for what they have offered to lay down for us and for the decent principles of mankind, we are in simple honor bound to do. America's task in the war is not done until her men come home again.
