r specimens of good natured
activity and usefulness are nowhere
found than are personified in our
midst by W. W. Lumpkin and J. W.
McMillan.
Messrs John M. Edwards, Sol
Barrett and two boys, and Mr. P. J.
and four of his boys went to
Black Lake list Tuesday on a fish-
excursion. They caught some
fish and had lots of fun. Little Char
lie Barrett caught a black fish weigh
ing about four pounds, and after an
exciting struggle the fish got away,
tu the great regret of Charlie. The
most thrilling incident of the oc
casion is thus related: Mr. Cline
was left to take cure of the boys,
while Mr. Barrett and Mr. Edwards
went off to catch some fish. Dur
ing their absence Mr. Cline fell in
the lake and the boys pulled him out.
War Talk
A German leader, Dr. Paul Oest-
reich, declares that America and Eng
land wjjj certainly be driven into
war. They will both woo Germany
for an ally, and in this way Germany
*:l! rifv in the council of nations.
We have had among our own peo
ple nen who predict that war is cer-
Uin. They say that human nature
cannot be changed and that war is
inevitably due ensue.
Uoyd George says: “In every
country it is part of the business of i
the fighting staff to work out a plan
for defense against all conceivable
enemies. They gloat over their effici
ency and, like every inventor, yearn
to put their machine to a test, until
powible war soon beco-ies likely and
likely war gradually glides into
inevitable."
From time immemorial nations and
tribes have sought to “protect" them
selves by increasing their armaments.
A considerable portion of the press
is urging the United States greatly
to increase armament on sea and land
in order to “protect” ituelf.
There never was a nation that
could so protect itself. Greece tried
it, and Rome and Spain and Germany
and Russia, and they .all fell.
The best protection for a nation
is for it to form some kind of combi
nation with other nations which pub
lic sentiment will endorse that shall
abolish war ns a final arbiter.
The most hopeful sign today ia
that people ure finding out that war
not only costs them money and val
uable lives, but destroys property
and sets back business.
It would be a good thing if every
boy and girl in the country 1
compelled to serve two years under
the tutelage of army officers in c<
structing great public work* such
the Boulder Dam and the Mississippi
Reclamation projects.
There s no objection to universal
conscription, if it is universal, and if
it is not primarily for the purpose of
fighting. These boys and girls would
be potential withers in case we ’
ever attacked, but their employment
upon constructive works would r.ot
be in the nature of a provocation of
war to other nations.
Some way or other we must give
up our arms and defer questions of
international dispute to some other
arbiter than crass nationalism.
One hopeful sign is that plant/ of
peace are openly discussed in inter
national councils. The late Pan-
American Congress was full of peace
talk.
And peace-talking brings peace,
just as war talk bring* war. The
question after all is one of public
opinion and the sooner that public
opinion is turned away frmo causes
of war and toward the efforts of
peace the better will be our prospects.

E VEN the best milk has a bacterial content which
will multiply with alarming rapidity if kept at
a temperature even two degrees above the danger
point—JO deg-ees.
For safety sake, all milk should be kept several degrees
below SO. The average temperature of a General Elec
tric Refrigerator under household conditions is 42
degrees. This is one vital reason why every home
maker should consider the need for scientifically cor
rect refrigeration.
There are countless other reasons, too. There is the
triple economy of no wasted food, of buying in quan
tity, and low cost of operation. There’s the comfort
of this quiet, worry-proof refrigerator which has all
the machinery located up and away from floor dirt
and scaled in a steel casing and it never needs oiling.
By all means visit one of our display rooms and see the
models. Only in this way can you appreciate their
unusual beauty—their revolutionary design.
Act now! Take advantage of our remarkable long
period, easy payment plan.
