would not have been worth living in.
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

from Michigan, spent nearly half a

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.

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"

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.

How a' Salesman Suffered
R. J. Porter, Sterling, Col., writes:
For six months I suffered with a
painful weak back. As a traveling
salesman I had to stoop frequently
to pick up my grips, which I grew
to dread as the pain when I straight
ened up was awful. Numerous rem
edies failed to reach my case. I was
induced to try Foley Kidney Pills,
Relief was immediate. Say, they are
great. Any one afflicted as I was
should try a bottle or two of Foley's
Kidney Pills." Good for pain in the
back, rheumatic pain, aching joints,
sore muscles. Jones' Drug Co.
