year - and’grow’and to this will be added a religious war which will entirely wipe out the peoples of the , earth by 1926. He claims he has i been notified us was Noah, to get his - people together so they can start all i over again to repopulate the world. Some job the old boy is taking on > anu wo doubt his position. There , are too many sensible people in this ■ country to let things go that far, though some times it doesn’t appear i so. — I The prohibition commissioner of I West Virginia has taken the joy out i l of life for thousands of home brew I makers. W. G. Brown, that’s his I name, offered to test free and holt-, estly. samples of cellar hooch sent in. More than a hundred bottles were rushed to his offices and after nj careful analysis he reported that al most all contained poison absolutely dangerous lor human consumption and many of them samples showed the deadly bacillus botulinus which is more dangerous than ptomaine. The keg is a garbage can and the contents undergo the various stages of decay, decomposition and putrefa cation. It’s bad stuff, boys, unless you know how to make it scientifically, and even then it’s legally danger ous. Senator Borah has offered a resolution setting forth that it is the view <>f the United States that war be-

i twoen nations be outlawed and that • a treaty bo effected between all the i nations of the world whereby all govi ornments would submit their alterca- , tions to an international court and that violation be considered a public crime. And less than three years ago Borah ami many other politicians when they had Ihe chance to get just that were crying out in frenxied tones that such an agreement would mean continued war mid trouble, it ' was predicted then, and is predicted ■ now, that the world will continue in a turmoil until wi forget polities ami i selfish interests and make such a [peace as will be lasting. Wo could' have settled down long ago. We can do it now but the administration evi Idently hates to admit its error in po [ sition or admit there was anything good in what was argued in 1920 by ' tint Democrats. Some times polities gets to be a puzzle.

Time is fleeting, soon they’re married —no more "chick en "is she then. Nothing stirring with the coo stuff —just a fussy cackling ben. In the spring a young girl's fancyquickly turns to thoughts of fad. Just to see what the now forms are. so that she can gel the pad.
