Christmas
large army not needed.
EMPIRE does not dopcnd upon
physlcnl force. It springs from
spiritual nnd Intellectual as
cenilnncy. Nations nrc Krcnt, not
through having big armaments, but
In splto of building armies and fleets.
If America bad been a military na
tion, the great powers of Europo
would not valuo Its favorable Judg
ment and eeek to win It. Our great
ness has como from our rejection of
militarism and devotion to peace and
Industrialism.

It were useless to know vlr- j

I ways to acuulro her. Aristotle j
-
HHOTHEHHOOD
It'o tbo kindly henrts of earth that
mako
This good old world worth while.
It's tho lips with tender words thnt
wako
The caro erasing smllo.
And I ask my soul this question
when
My goodly gifts I see
Am I a frlond to bb many men
as bavo been friends to me?
Wlion my brothers speak a word of
prnlso.
My wavering -will to aid,
I nsk If over their long, long ways
My words have- brighter made.
And to my heart I bring again
This eager, earnest plea
Mako mo a frlond to an many men
As nro good, staunch friends to
mo.
Nixon Waterman.

fashloncd womnn who used to Jar

Thoro aro scarcttlcH In lots of
linos, hut thcro nro always enough

Ilurnuso it 4a one of tho j
greatest composers of modern j
times, I
Too many Coos Ilay pooplo
Imaglnn back talk means talk- j
lug about a man behind his j
back.
Don't Imagine you nro n good
conversationalist Just becauso you
talk a good deal. -
You pcoplo who quarrel easily,
romombor that no quarrol was ever
really mado up.
Tho hnpplcst woman on earth Is
tho one who bcllovcs In tho old
mntd kind of good times.
Ono of tho difficult tasks In this
world Is to convince n woman that
oven a "bargain" costs money.
THE RLAME THING.
Tho blame for lost Eden
Should rest to bo .fair,
Not on tho red npplo
Hut on the green pair.
FRED WEAVER.
NATURE FAKER.
Now, when I wako to greet the day
I wiggle each pink toe,
And marvel In n youthful way
How fast my whlakors grow.
ARTHUR PECK.
GLAD HE'S OX COOS HAY.
I'm glad I'm not In Europo,
I'm glad I am nt homo,
Where no submarines can gut mo
And no bombs bounce off my dome.
HORSEY KREITZEH.
You may notice that tbo mutt who
Is always knocking Coos Hay novor
moves out of It.
"Tho biggest trust on onrth Id the ,
country newspapor." says nn eastern
contemporary. "It trusts ovoryhody,
gots cussed for trusting, mistrusted
for trustliiK and If It busts for trust
lug, getM ciiMori for IiiihUiik."
SPLINTERS.
"Last suinmor I saw a man with a
wooden arm playing hall on an ama-,
tour tenm In California," said a Cen
tral avenuo booster.
"That's nothing," sneered n knock
er, "l.nst summer 1 tmw men with
wooden heads ploying hull In North
Hum!."
