WHICH EAGLE? In an editorial, 'Our Eagle or Wil helm’s.". the Chicago Tribune pre ilicts eventual victory for this nation in the present great war. saying in part: "One of two birds is to have dust on its back and lose a great many feathers It will be the German eagle or the American eagle. One or the other will be on its back, and it is a bit early in the young life of the Anierit ati eagle for it to wave it*, talons impotently and in dejeihed de feat. This eagle has'had'some nur row escapes, but it always has been pble to scream after the event and we think it has a scream or so remaining for utterance We have an idea that the American eagle intends, determines, and wills to win. We have an idea that the American eagle will be the bird with strength enough * to scream at the end of the comluit. The German bird will have to pick its. If up out of the dust • We know that such .nt idea would be regarded in Germany as preposterous, but we are convinced that it is as true as the Woid of God. There'can be no de fear for the American republic. Some day. when it is ivy grown and erombling. it may accept the pains of the vanquMied and the taxes of t,hi‘ con tltp'red but that time has not rone yet. and shall not come lor centuries, shall not be hiinighl nbn* by auy breed tin human race has produced yet not by a dinned sight! If that be slang, make the most of it.” ——————— * The dandelions in Decatur got an awful wallop yesterday and the lawns show a wonderful improvement. If ' x you didn't celehr.it' dandelion day. do it at om e. for remember that such a work as this has to he genet al to he complete If yon did not cut the dandelion blossonis you injure your neighbor who perhaps did devote several hours to killing off this obnoxious plant, for the seeds from your plants will scatter over the entire neighborhood. He a good t'el low and cut your dandelions. The yard will look better, the neighborhood will he helped and the danger of any ill feeling will be wiped out with each swipe of the hoe. Answer the call and keep at it for a few days. John W. Kern, formed United States senator from Indiana, today began a tour of the nation, speaking for the president. The honor is not only one of which anv man could * well feel proud, but one which the famous Hoosier will perform ably* and to the very letter in conformity with the desires of the chief executive. During his term as leader of * the senate Mr. Kern overtaxed his strength and for several wwke has

The fact that he now feels able io attempt, this big job'ls good news to his many, friends and admirers here and elsewhere We fayor the sane Fourth Idea, never was crazy about tills shooting thing* up. and this year of all others such an order from otilclais should be made and enforced, which doesn't mean that we oppose a celebration, of the great holiday. Let's have the Hag raising and the rest of the program, but without burning up hundreds id dollars' worth of material. this year so expensive. We can lie just as patriotic without it. The idea has been suggested that ea< h housewife this year when putting up her supply of fruit, corn, tomatoes and other r.u,, Iles, set aside a can of each for the R ' Cross, to he used in the camps wk - tie sick mid injured soldiers are being eared for. It would mean a g-acd many ship loads and so much to the boys at the front.

I regard It as the patriotic duty of all I citizens to lend their support to the I enforcement of all laws and restrictI ions on this subject, thus guarding against this danger of unnecessary loss.
