August 3 Is (Continued From Page One.) name candidates of the party in the general election to be held in August, 1940. Candidates expecting to qualify -and apparently there will be no scarcity-were instructed to do so the governing board on or before midnight, June 10, by meeting certain requirements, listed as follows: Candidates for sheriff will be required to deposit with the chairman of the governing board at the time of his qualification $200 to be used to pay expenses of the primary.

The group elected Leonard Neely to replace Tom Long, deceased, as a committeeman from the Eighth district. Military Pageant (Continued from Page One) too, between this American military show and displays of armed power in Russia, Germany and Italy in recent years.

Troops lining the Washington route were there merely to form a peaceful framework to the picture. Soldiers, sailors and marines, they were turned out in parade garb, white gloved and without steel helmets or field equipment. Their function was merely honor a visiting chief of state; not to guard him. Through the whole spectacle ran a curious graphic representation of the objectives of American foreign policy and the purposes of the vast new armament program which this nation has undertaken. It illustrated the conception of that national defense program voiced by President Roosevelt and underwritten in congress that this nation 'is not war minded, but is committed to defense of this hemisphere against all attack.

There. was still another message in that pageant. Along the same way soon will pass the king of England, To will be accorded like honors, neither more nor less. That is what the Roosevelt "good neighbor" doctrine means and (President Somoza was the first beneficiary of its, ceremonial expression since world peace horizon was darkened by new war clouds. As a gesture of Pan-American solidarity the stage setting prepared by the Washington government to greet the Nicaraguan president was a calculated to catch LatinAmerican attention.

The vast British commonwealth on which the sun never sets and little Nicaragua are equals in the family of nations by American good neighbor concepts. That is the message the Somoza reception was carefully calculated to carry to Latin American eyes which read of it in print or see it in news pictures. And with it goes word, in those fast, smooth-rolling tanks and roaring war plane overhead, that new world solidarity is a fact with which any aggression -minded nation elsewhere reckon.

There are strange customs in many distant lands and in India, it is not unusual for families to make "match-marriages" between children, even when they are mere infants. In the present case, it was nothing but a trade, a barter, where Gunga Dagh, to secure the beautiful Patima, daughter of Zafar Bey, traded his infant, Bibi, into marriage with the other's son, Ben Ali. that the children never saw one another until many years had under the influence English edupassed. Ben Ali, a full man, cation, returned home to find that Bibi, the child-bride he had forgotten, had grown into a beautiful woman.

She was evidently more desirable to him than he was to her, for she refused to accept him as her husband. She was woman capable of choosing for herself and Ben Ali was not of her choice. Bibi's victory shows that justice is pretty much the same the world over. This is a true case.
