set aside as one of Thanksgiving
and has requested that prayers

armament conference which be
gins on tbat date.
We hope that our people will
close their places of business on
that day and make it a real day
of thanksgiving and will join
with the great masses of people
of this country, and the balance
of the world, in a sincere prayer
for the success of this coming
conference.
THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1921
ARMISTICE DAY
Have the people forgotten the
extreme feeling of Thanksgiving
they experienced when the word
was "flashed over the wire the
eleventh day of November, 1918,
that the armistice was signed and
the fighting ended?
The President of-the United
States has asked that this day be
Delegates from all the larger
nations of the world are gather
ing in Washington for the confer
ence to consider reduction of arm
aments and any other questions
which may come before the con
ference. This is one of the momentous
meetings in the history of the
world, and the greatest by far
ever held in this country. The
results of this conference will
have a great bearing upon the fu
ture destiny of the world, for
whether great reductions are
made in armaments, new align
ments are bound, to be the result.
The world is now in an economic
chaos and is still in a period of
adjustment ; the people are over
burdened with taxation; poverty
is stalking the earth like a plague
and no one knows what the fu
ture may hold.
That there is a crving need for
a reduction in expenditures for
'armaments there can be no qp.es
Jtion of doubt when one will con
jsider thai in 1912 the United
'States appropriated $244,177,000
for its Army and Navy, while the
appropriations for 1921 aggre
jgate the staggering sum of $1,
j 422,752,000. Eighty-eight and
'four tenths per cent of total ap
propriations for the fiscal year
1921 went to pay the costs of
past wars and to prepare for fu
ture wars.
The peoples of the world must
make themselves heard at this
conference so that there will be
no juggling of issues and com
promises to effect this and that
thing. What the world wants is
an assurance that these enormous
expenditures are cut down and
thereb'the chances of future
wars immunized to just that ex
tetent. There must be no secrecy
in these meetings. The doors
should lemain open so that the
public may have an opportunity
to hear and be heard. That is
the only assurance that the sen
timent of the world will be behind
the conclusions reached. Secre
cy is the instrument of the devil
and if there are dealings and
trades behind closed doors, and
the public is excluded, the same
old course of secret diplomacy
will be run. Liberal opinion
throughout the world is 'demand
ing that it be heard through free,
open and intelligent discussions,
and that is the only assurance
that the .world will be safe for
democracy, and that the conclu
sions reached will be based upon
public sentiment and thereby be
made enduring.

response when you want to
jump your ear ahead. It is
just as necessary to be able to idle
on a low throttle.
It is not so difficult to make a
gasoline that will do either of
.jjthese things well. But to produce
a balanced gasoline that does
both, that combines power, econ
omy clean burning and big mile

refining, experiments with crudes
from every producing field, in

physical laboratories, and with
thousands of automobiles of all

This balanced motor fuel
"Standard" Motor Gasoline of
surpassing goodness. It is won
derful in volatility, flame speed,
completeness of combustion and
mileage. It assures quick starts,
. rapid acceleration - and unusual
pulling power up heavy grades.
Even in cold weather, when less
perfectly conditioned gasoline is
sluggish, you can. operate on a
lean, clean-burning, economical
mixture of "Standard", Motor
Gasoline. Why try your temper
with others "just as good"?
And when you need oil say POLARINE. Made with the
same care- always right.
