A GERMAN-BORN AMERICAN SPEAKS OF GERMANY

Every once in a while some dis tinguished citizen of German an eestry, but naturalized as an Amer lean, speak's in burning words thal should be dinned into the ears bl all native-born or naturalized. Professor Max F. Meyer of thJ University of Missouri, recently thl recipient of an invitation to joil one of the, organizations with higlj sounding names, whose real objel is to paralyze the fighting arm of the American government, in rel Plying that the invitation was an] insult, said: j h," 1 am / hor °ughly familiar with the present organization of the-Ger-man social body and with its cul-'

urination the present German government. lam much more familiar with it than any of your committee. I have lived in Germany twenty-five years. I was born there. I was educated there. I spent nineteen years of my life in German educational institutions from the kindergarten to the research laboratory.” Professor Meyer cites these things to show that he knows Germany not from the outside, but from the inside, as a land in which the inilitary‘'class is the governing class. Stating these facts. Professor Meyer then utters this solemn warning to disloyalists in this country: “If Germany wins this war, flfly years hence its government will rule the American people. I do not want my American children to be put under this yoke which I escaped by coming to America. My hope is that the German government will be overthrown and that the German nation, my relatives and friends, will enter an international organization for peace and justice. “But the German government, this fearful danger to our future, can be overthrown only by raising armies, not by sitting around your council tables and working for the repeal of conscription laws,”

A BIG JOB

The people of the United States are beginning to realize that there are no short cuts to victory in this war—-which is as it should be. It | is foolish and even harmful to ||sn<vr>i->+f> duration, of the [Employes of the Monon railroau , s [ops at Lafayette have signed np new scale of wages in effect Norn ber 1.

| For the first time in several ■ears a night gang was placed at fork in the Monon railroad shops It Lafayette Monday night. I Christmas packages for the men lerving on American war vessels piust reach New York not later han November 24, the navy department announced Monday. Abe Martin says: “Some folks ire all right ever’ way t ’cept they k’on’t pay anything. ‘We Shall Meet Over There,’ used t’ refer t’ leaven, but it don’t any more.” I George Mann of Otterbein delivfed forty-six hogs for R.

HE WILL SEE PLENTY OF THEM

The editor of the sauerkraut edition of the Lokal Anzeriguer, p’ublisihed in Berlin, Germany, is quite hilarious over the capture of ten or twelve American Soldiers, ami in his mind’s eye can see whole divisions of Americans laying down their arms to the Boches. He contributes a half column of “humor on the subject, and among ' other things especially funny says: “Look here, my boy, here is the big firm of,.Hindenburg & Co., with which you want to compete. "Look at its accomplishments and consider whothelr it would not be better to haul down your sign and engage in some other line. Perhaps your boss, Wilson, will reconsider his newest line of business before we grab off more of his young people.” This sausage-eating representative of German kultur is nearer right than he probably intended to be. Hindenburg & Co. are likely to see more of the American boys pretty soon, and we apprehend that the “grabbing’’ from that direction will be something like the man’s bear fight. When our “boss” Wilson gets the boys over theYe the firms of Hindenburg & Co. and William Hohenzollern & Son will prohab’y make an involuntary assignment while our “young people” tell the German autocracy just where and how the star of democracy can fee viewed to the best advantage. Seeing American soldiers will yet he a common occurence in your sweet young life, Yohonnes Heinrirk Rheinrinsneider, and don’t forget it. —Fowler Tribune.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

The farmer gets more good advice than any man beneath the sun; the magazines would treat him nice, so tell him once, and tell him twice, how all his duties should be done. And lecturers with bulging brows in country schools lay down the law; they tell him how to groom his cows, and how to raise blue ribbon sows by feeding artichokes and straw. The editors o’ weekly sheets, who never pushed a span of mules, sit in their chairs with leather seats, and tell him ho A to raise his beets, and for his guidance lay down rules. The men pursuing other trades, we all assume, know wfaat to do; no man the merchant prince upbraids, or chides the lawyer till he fades, or to the plumber hands a few. The sexton, he can dig a grave, we d> not stop to tell him how. or show the barber how to shave, or tell the tightwad how to save; the dairyman can milk his cow. But every man in town believes no husbandman knows how to farm; and so we criticise his sheaves, and tell him how to shear his beeves, and treat the old mare for the heaves, and bore him till he has the peeves, and to his shoulders rolls his sleeves, and tries to do us deadly harm.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because It’s For One Tiling Only, and Rensselaer People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. < Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only. For weak or disordered kidneys. Here is Rensselaer evidence to prove their worth: Mrs. Guy Hudson, Clark St-. Rensselaer, says; “I had spells of ■backache and was nearly worn out by the dull constant ache across my kidneys. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. F. Long’s drug store and they gave me fine relief. I certainly think they are effective.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hudson had. Foster-Mil-burn Co. Props., Buffalo, N .Y. — Advt.

PREPARING FOR THE “INTERNATIONAL”

At Chicago the first week of December will be staged not only the greatest display of live stock the world has ever witnessed, but that display will attain a degree of magnitude and merit now* possible in !no other country in the w orld. The management of the Internaitibnal Live Stock exposition has i -pared neither energy nor expense 'to make this display commensurate ■ with the task the war- has thrown | upon this country in the matter of ! meat, .production. - i Each season has added to the [facilities tor exhibitors and visitors. This year a large sum of money has been expended in perfecting these facilities.. The buildings and grounds have been improved in many respects. Entries warrant the assertion that it will be the greatest aggregation of horses, cattle. hogs and sheep the world has ever seen.

The public is invited to co-oper-ate. A visit to the exposition will pay either the initiated the novice, or the mere spectator, thousands of whom have been interested in live stock during the past decade and a half by these annual educational efforts. The 1917 International Live Stock exposition will be adequately staged, every possible convenience for visitors will be provided and the entertainment features will be more brilliant and diverting than in the past-—Advt.
