Here's the rather unique way in which J. E. Deetz, of Peru, describes the difference between the common sense days and the jazz period: Twenty years ago: "I remember that eggs were ten cents a dozen, milk was five cents a quart; the butcher gave the liver away; men wore whiskers and boots, spit on the side walks and cussed; laborers worked ten hours a day and the hat-check-grafter was unknown. “No one was operated upon for appendicitis; tonsils were not cut out and microbes were unheard of. Everyone lived to a good old age and walked miles to wish their friends a Merry Christmas.” Today you know: “Everybody rides in automobiles, play the piano with their feet; get earache from radio! jazz; smoke cigarettes; does the Charleston; drinks hair tonic; blames the high cost of living on the democrats; never go to bed the same day they get up. and are having one heck of a time trying to dodge the collector of “easy” installments. “The fellows who are not hi jacking are high-hatting; we don't point with pride or view with alarm; the common people are never heard of. Dan Cupid is beginning to carry a lantern , and the judge has sold his spurs." The time limit is up for the filing of declarations by candidates. In this county there are many to choose from, especially on the democratic side and the fight is on now in earnest. It will continue a month, closing with the election on May 4th. Every democrat should have at heart the best interests of his party, which means he should try his best to nominate those candidates lie believes will best serve the people for that means the strongest ticket. The democratic party is needed now’ as it never was needed in the history of the country and the smart thing to do is to select a ticket that can win. Those who vote in the primaries should support the winners in the November election, for under the law you virtually promise that when you ask for a party ticket. The race is on, it should be a friendly contest. May the best candidates win. Gerald Chapman is a fighter. 'As a gunman he was fearless, as a bandit of the modern day he’excelled all of them, as a battler for his own life he has been game and smart and anything bnt a quitter. What a shame that a man with so much ability should devote his career to crime, what great things he could have done, howmuch service he could have rendered to his state and his nation and his people. Boys it doesn't pay. There is only one way to live and thats tbe straight and honest way, there is only one road to follow and thats the right one. The jazz career may be exciting but its end is sure, the wages of sin is death.

T I'""" "» Two high school boys over in an Ohio town, not so very tar away, thought it would be smart to take a drink or two before they went to a dance. They found a bootlegger and bought the poison. One of them is head and the other fighting for life which is hanging by a thread. How foolish they were and how much they have paid for an imaginary thrill. Earl Carroll who got a lot of publicity by featuring a nude girl m a

The new malt tonic, containing

1 3.75 per cent alcohol is unpalatable and it is announced will not become ' a very popular beverage, bnt the main thing is that if this can be marketed under the law, it won't be such a big step to a drink that will foam. Easter day is over and it was a much better day than we had a right to expect, judging from the predictions of the weather man, about the nicest we have ifad for a month and it slipped in just about right.
