INTRODUCING SERGEANT AVELCH. Ladies and gentlemen, permit us to make you acquainted with Sergeant Welch, U. S. A.! Boys, "mitt" the Sergeant! Sergeant Welch is the recruiting officer who has put Hammond on the map. Through his efforts in the main and others whom we are too modest to mention the War Department gives Hammond the credit for giving more men to the service of Uncle Sam in ratfo to its size than any other city in the country. We're strong for this man Welch, for he does things. He is a live wire. He is the most enthusiastic and the hardest working recruiting offiter we ever saw. He is a natty, clean-minded mixer and a credit to the service. He talks convincingly and he turns the trick. He has recruited a regiment from Hammond since the war started. Of course, some were not accepted, b U this doesn't deter the sergeant from going after more. Uncle Sam must have 70,000 recruits this week. Sergeant Welch wouldlike to get them all, hut of course he can't do that, but he's going after them just the same. We want to see him get them. We want every young man to go up and talk with Sergeant Welch, and if he doesn't enlist it won't be tha Ctficer's fault.

S-IGHTIG THE GERMAN PEOPLE. There is a great deal of bosh going the rounds about the United States not fighting the German people but opposing only the kaiser and hi autocratic government. Does it never occur to the sentimentalists that if th j German people were not behind the kaiser and his form of government that there would be no world-wide war? Supposing the kaiser and &1! his official retainers were left alone to fight Germany's battles, hew loag do you think the war would last? Was there ever a time when a man who called himself an American ccstld have favored the German form of government and still have been an American? May a prohibitionist favor the continuance of the liquor traffic a raving anarchist take a stand for law and order? Americans should not be deceived by twaddle. We are about to engage in the bloodiest war in all history are now actually engaged in it v':h. the most ruthless, brutal enemy ever known in mankind's history and that enemy is the German people just so long as they uphold their present inhuman warfare, and that enemy ceases to be the German people just as soon as they throw off the yoke of imperialistic militarism, and no sooner. The fact should be clear to the mind of everybody that the German people are upholding the kaiser's bloody arm and are furnishing themselves as human sacrifices for a barbaric ideal. The sooner we Americans get that firmly fixed in our heads, the sooner we shall be in a mental attitude that will make us good soldiers, and not much sooner, declares the National Republican.

THE CONDUCT OF JESUS CHRIST IN -THE -LIGHT OF MODERN LAWS. At the outset of the public life of Jesus Christ he attended, in company with his mother, a marriage in Cana of Galilee. From the writings of that early day reporter, St. John, we read: 3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, they have no wine. 4. Jesus saith unto her, woman, what have I to do with

thee? Mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother saith unto tha servants, whatsoever He saith unto you, do it. . 6. And there were set six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus saith unto them, fill the water-pot3 with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. And He saith unto them, draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which drew the wine knew), the governor of the feast callecT to the bridegroom.- ' 11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus of Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. Were Jesus Christ on earth today and beginning His public life in some certain portion of America, say in the state of Nebraska or Arkansas, and performed the miracles as described in the preceding words from the New Testament and gave wine to others, he would be summarily arrested.

Quakers leaving meeting house at Stony Brook. N. J. Quakers from all over the country fathered for the first time since Revolutionary days at the little Quaker meeting house at Stony Brook, N. J., a few days agro, in the first "get together meeting that they have held in years. Although the society itself is opposed to war and its members are exempt from military service, their meeting house figured in at least one Revolutionary engagement and still bears marks of the encounter.

'S NO use getting sore at the poor pacifists THEIR heads are too soft anyway. THE first time that a woman really realizes that after all is said and done, her hubby is only a poor common cuss IS when he advises her that her plants are perfectly safe out doors and tha NEXT morning she finds them covered with A NICE little old white frost AND killed. ANOTHER little pathetic feature ABOUT the male sex is that a member of it about this time of the year GETS ten cents worth of straw hat cleaner and rubs it on his 4 LAST year's bonnet AND then thinks he's fooled everybody into thinking that he's wearing a NEW skypiece.

were never

indicted and imprisoned. And this would occur at the outset of His public life, thus bringing the man into discredit. Or, were Jesus Christ7 about to begin His Public life In Indiana next spring and accomplished -the miracle wrought In Cana he would be subject to the same process of prosecution or persecution, clothed, however, under the protection of the law. Jesus Christ would face such an indignity in any other state In the Union where "Bone Dry" laws exist. This is merely to illustrate how intolerable some modern laws are, especially this one which would forwith stamp the Redeemer as a criminal were He here today and living the life He did nineteen centuries ago. In this age of modern civilization and higher religious culture we have improved the code of human conduct, and we have fixed even the tolerant act3 of Christ as uncouth, unspeakable and unlawful.

IF a hotel-keeper charging fifty cents for meals informed the government that he would give reduced rates of 25 cents to soldiers and then turned around and increased the price to the public, he would be denounced as a hypocritical patriot. It is only leaders of big business who can cut prices to the government and then raise 'em to the public who get praises in the papers as benefactors.

BY the way! Will some one kindly look over the back flies to see if any of the amateur soothsayers and home talent prophets had predicted this cyclone weather?

DOWN around Mobile they shoot the negroes if they don't work and up around East St. Loul3 they shoot them if they do work.
