It comes in poor grace from Albert J. Beveridge, this ridicule and belittling of the child labor law passed by the congress that supported the Wilson administration, and with a practically non-partisan vote.

He is he last man on earth who should condemn it.

Every citizen of this town is interested directlyj in its welfare, for his own welfare depends upon the prosperity of the town. For that reason, if for no other, we should do as much as possible of our buying at home this winder and Christmas, and let the mail order houses bleed some other place. Let’s keep our money in circulation at home this winter. Better still, let’s keep it moving around here all of the time. We will make its acquaintance oftener ourselves.

David Lubin, founder of the International Institute of Agriculture and father of the rural credits movement in America, has joined the list of prominent Republicans openly advocating the re-election of President Wilson.

The man who does not take his home paper misses three-fourths of what on in his home community. He must either borrow the paper from his neighbor and be considergxOa tight-wad and a niusance, or he riiust be content to learn a little and know less.

Every merchant in this town wants to sell you goods. You want to trade with the merchant who will do the best by you, who will sell you the best good-, at the least price. It is up to you to read the ads in this paper, and it is up to the merchant to see that you read his ad. When you both do this you both win.

If you know of an item of news that would interest your neighbors, don’t withhold it from, us—tell us.

Those German submarines are getting entirely too frisky. It is quite inconsiderate of them to come snooping around chasing icicles up and down our official spine. Besides, it is bad for our digestion, disastrous to our dignity, and a general nuisance all around. Go back and get under.

When you are happy your joy just hops right along to others and gives us all a bully good feeling. Pass your smile along. In the lives of some women there are three important elements—the puff box, the poodle and the kid, in the order named. When a wise man talks you learn a few things in fewer words. When a loud mouth opens you hear nothing but noise. When laughing at the other fellowjust remember that he may have quite as much fun at your expense another day.

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA The spirit of America is one of peace, but one of independence. It is a spirit that is profoundly concerned with peace, because it can express itself best only in peace. It is the spirit of peace and good- ' will and of human freedom; 1 but it is also the spirit of a ' nation that is self-conscious; 1 that knows and loves its mis- ' sion in the world, and that ' knows it must command the ' respect of the world. » WOODROW WILSON. «
