"Upon the affidavits of three reput-
able citizens of El Paso that the Vil

May 19, they covered more than half
the distance across the Atlantic be-
fore being forced to alight in mid

given up for lost, but finally turned
up safe on board a small craft which

The Adjutant's Warning.
With tlu> demobilization of the army
some new stories are being demobilized
here. One is the story of the bright
thought of an adjutant. The command
lng ollleer of a force behind the lines
had acquired or "won" (as they say
in the army) a cow, and he was much
envied In all the messes. The adjutant
had a cottage with a garden, In which
he had some good strawberries. One
day the C. O. without a word went Into
this garden and helped himself to the
adjutant's strawberries. The adjutant
could not, of course, rebuke his chief,
but he put up this notice:
"Trespassers in this strawberry gar-
den will have their cow shot."—London

Seventh cavalry regiments crossed at

crossing.

LABOR KNOCKS ANARCHY
"Soviets" And Tom Mooney's General
Strike Are Turned Down.
Atlantic City, N. J.—Following a
sharp debate during which several of
the delegates almost came to blows,
delegates to the American Federation
of Labor convention here adopted ;r
resolution refusing to indorse ttvj
general strike called for July 4 as a
protest against the imprisonment of
Thomas Mooney and censuring the
Mooney defense committee for its ef-
forts to disrupt the American Federa-
tion of Labor
The resojution however, dlreqfed
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor "to exert every
effort to bring about a new trial for
Mooney through recognized proces-
ses."
Organized labor struck a blow at
the anarchist elements In its midst
when the federation adopted a resolu-
tion denying American labor's recog-
nition of America's soviet.
This memorial, voted for after the
redical element had attempted to
have adopted resolutions calling for
the withdrawal of troops from Rus-
sia and the lifting of the blockade in
Russian waters, expressed the conven-
tion's "well considered conviction"
that while the troops ought to be
withdrawn as soon as possible, "we
refuse endorsement of recognition of
the soviet or any other form of gov-
ernment until the people of Russi i
by a constitution or other form of
national assembly establish a truly
democratic government "

those who have had the opportunity
of examining the document. The fi-
nancial modifications are considered
unimportant and objectionable, and
the terms governing Germany's ad-
mission to the league of nations ar3
declared to be unsatisfactory.
Government circles state that thev
cannot conceive any government will-
j ing to sign such terms, though it is
admitted that the treaty wil be fully
discussed, because it is realized tha*
serious effects with the spread of an-
archy in Germany, would be entailed
in refusal to sign. The entente's an-
swer, also, is considered nothing less
than an ultimatum.

History's most mentuous peace

Penny Pinching Not
Always True Economy
1 have learned that the intelligent
housewife—the woman schooled in really scien-
tific domt 'tic economy-no longer throws away i nickel to
save a penny.
A £°°d way to illustrate this point
would be through comparison of baking
powders.
1 "xpericnce has taught me and mill-
ions of other women that it doesn't pay to buy
cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the
long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of
the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they
cause many bake day failures- and preat loss of expensive
ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted materials
many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking pow-
der. This is not economy, but extravagance.
True economy in baking powder
demands the highest quality at the lowest price.
Only baking powders that meet these demands should be
used. Only baking powder that is made of the highest^ class
ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produces
maximum leavening power but .also pristrvrs it.
Besides, the baking powder that
meets the modern demand for economy should
be economical in use—full strength economical in cost •
"secured at a moderate prue. The housewife should be able
to effect a saving when buying—and another saving when
using—and she should save materials it is used with.
That is economy in its highest form.
Complete economy. 'I lie only kind of econ-
omy the housewife should attempt.
I have proved positively by exhaust-
ive experiments and comparative tests that
Calumet Baking Powder is be * suited to these savings. It
possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that make
constant employment of utmost baking economy possible.
