THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Ezra Miller sold his 80-acre farm this week to Manno Miller. We understand the consideration was around S6O an acre and believe it was the best land bargain in Colfax. Of course this farm lies better than. six miles out, but we know of no land left now that can be -bought for less than SIOO this side of this particular farm, and most of our land reaches up to between S2OO and S3OO per acre. And we truly believe our land worth all that is asked for it. The death of Lee Dirst, the 1 fl-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Dirst, occurred Monday .morning at about 8 o’clock at the hospital in Rensselaer where he had undergone an operation for appendicitis Saturday, August 9.

Again he rallied and seemed to be building, when a second relapse came Sunday, due to blood-poison-ing and the little fellow passed away the following morning at 8 o’clock. Both his parents were with him when the end came. The funeral is being held today (Wednesday) at the home and interment is to be made at Morocco.

They changed their minds again almost immediately and concluded that they wanted that car the worst way, all at once, too, and commenced to holler for Geier and Bahler, who were down the road a piece. j . A little time was consumed in getting their car started and the robbers got such a start that they could not be located. It is (quite likely they took to some side road and hid in another field until the excitement died down and then drove away.

WOMEN DEMAND WARS SHALL END

Peace League Means More , to Them Than It Can Mean to Men. DR. SHAW’S STIRRING PLEA. (By the Late Dr. Anna Howard Bhaw.) Seven million one hundred thousand men who had laid down their lives in the great war. Think of it! Seven million, one hundred thousand young men iiad died on the field of battle! What does that mean to the women of the world?. It means that seven million one hundred thousand women walked day by day with their faces toward an open grave that they might give life to a son. It means that seven million one hundred thousand little children lay in the arms of a mother whose love had made them face even the terrors of death that they might become the mothers of men. It means that year after year these women had put up their lives into the lives of their sons until they had reared them to be men. For what? In the hope that these sons of theirs could give to the world the things for which women dream, the, things for whichwomen hope and pray and long. These were the things that the women had In their hearts when they gave birth to their sons. But who can estimate the value of seven million one hundred thousand dead sons of the women of the world? Who can estimate the price which the women have ..paid for this war; what It has cost them, not only in the death of tlielr sons, because that Is a phase of our w’ar to which we look. The Courage of Women.

We hear our orators tell us of the courage of our men. How they went across the sea. Very few of them remember to tell us of the courage of our women, vfho also went across the sea; of the women who died nursing the sick and wounded; the women who died in the hospitals, where the terrible bombs came and drove them almost to madness. They tell us nothing of the forty thousand English women who went to work back of the trenches In France. They tell us nothing of the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of women who not only tolled and worked and slaved in order that the war might be successful, but we do not hear of the thousands of women, not alone in Armenia, not alone in Montenegro, not alone in Serbia, but in Flanders, in Belgium, in Rumania, in Russia —the thousands of women who lie in graves today, murdered, so horribly murdered that men dare not speak of IL ▲nd yet we women are asked what we know about the League of Nations; asked what we can understand about a League of Nations. Oh men I the horrible deaths; the horrible lives of thousands upon thousands of women today in all these nations, who must live, and who must look in the faces of children unwelcomed, undesir6d —of little children —and know that these are the result of war. And then ask women why they should be interested In a league of peace? Women Suffer Most Prom War. If there is any body of citizens in the world who ought to be interested Ln a league to ultimately bring to the world peace it is the mothers of men, and the women who suffered as only women can suffer in the war and In devastated countries. ▲nd we call upon them, we women of the world call upon the men who have been fighting all these battles of the years, the men who have led armies, and led armies close to their

aefttna. We are dow calling upon the men of the world to In some way or another find a passage out of the sea of death. We are asking them to form a league which will bring hope to the women of the future. It women are to bear sons only that they may die, If women may not have hope and aspirations for their children, If women may not dream the dreams that have In them the hope of the highest civilisations, the highest moral and spiritual Ute of the people—if women may not have these In their hearts as the mothers of men, then women will cease to desire to be the mothers of men. And why should they not? Why should they not?

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. / TELLS TROOPS TO DO DUTY Gov. Goodrich, in Address to Soldier* for Strike Duty in Hammond Instruct* to Use Force If Mobs Defy Law. Indianapolis, Aug. 22. —“We will have fought to little purpose to ■destroy the autocracy of the kaiser if we are to submit in our own land to the autocracy of the mob,” declared Gov. James* P. Goodrich, addressing state troops mobilised here for duty at Hammond in connection with strike disorders there. The governor charged the militiamen to use “most vigorous exercise of force” should the occasion demand. “More than 140,000 of the young men of Indiana were recently called to defend the honor and integrity of the nation in sj foreign war,” he said. “You are now called upon a less glorious but no less important mission. Ours is a government of laws and not of men. If men are to be permitted to substitute the inclination of their own wills and their own selfish desires for obedience to the law, then orderly government is at an end and we must soon reach the unhappy condition which now obtains in Russia. I trust that it will not be necessary to resort to extreme measures, but those who have arrayed themselves against society should be taught that they cannot do so with Impulty.”

Farmer of Today

Hi* Opinion Is Sought and Respected

Urban sophistication In the cities poked fun, before the war, at the farmer. He was supposed to be uncouth and gullible—a child of nature. He chewed a straw and pulled his beard and greased his boots and rose by lamplight, and was a man with a hoe among the herds and orchards, a man to whom the great round world was a blank page or a distant myth. Now that Is changed, says a writer In the Philadelphia Ledger. The farmer is an applied scientist, whose opinion is sought and respected, with whose hand, as it is busy or idle, is the feeding or starving of the nations. For millions during the war life has been a grim, unmitigated quest of food. The ftrm has had to yield by Intensive cultivation many times its former produce, and marketing in haphazard ways has had to yield to methodic and speedy transportation. Farm work and farm life today utilize every last development of engineering. The machinery has revolutionised farm labor, and electricity and gasoline are the greatest of all hired hands. The motorcar, the tractor, the dairy machinery, the telephone are commonplaces where once they were unknown. The demobilized fighter no longer regards indifferently or scornfully the chance the farm holds out to him. The fields are clamoring for him — fields where the battle is for life and not for destruction.

Antipathy Shown to Kings and Queens on Early Cards

. Early American playing cards, according to an article In the American Printer, showed the national antipathy to kings and queens by presenting, instead of the conventional figures with which playing cards are now adorned, the following pictures: “President of hearts, George Washington; of diamonds, John Adams; of clubs, Benjamin Franklin; of spades, Lafayette. The “queens” were Venus, Fortune, Ceres and Minerva. The knaves were represented, appropriately reflecting the general feeling among the whites, by pictures of Indian chiefs.

WORTH MENTIONING Groveling isn’t humility. Your Creator expects you to stand just as high as he has given you power to stretch. The tendency of the times may be all right, but even the dollars are more slippery than they used to be. x So many fellows feel bolder when notching the log than when they get hold of the saw. Ordinarily a task is not’divisible by time.
