"Miss Fawn Lippincut's aunt had her son-in-law heavily Insured before he enlisted an' he never got ou o" Hattiesburg. She thought some o' buildin' if he'd been killed. "Tipton Moots find3 himself loaded down with bonds an' no shoes." "Well, you see all these folks are sore. It's th' same thing all over th' country. Folks had got settled on a war basis an' peace has knocked their plans crazy. Ther's no openin' in this country where a riveter kin make anything like what he's been niakln'. No woman '11 want t' return t' th kitchen from th' lathe. Business '11 never be satisfied with a fair margin o' profit. Even th' salaried feller won't feel right with a few dollars

A WORD' FOR THE MERCHANT. Business men and merchants who have sat tight for nearly two years while this country was at war deserve " oimitinn these davs. Thev have sub-
JU 11' -3 I'UUIH t v v . - . - scribed liberally to war loans; given generously hero rnd there to numerous war activities; they have been at the beck and call of every government demand; they liave observed fuelless days and lightless nights without murmuring; they have shut up shop when it was directed they should do so. and they have silently acquiesced when the government has called upon the people to skimp and save to deny themselves this and that, all of which has flattened out the purses of the merchants to a pitiful extent. Now these av the Christmas holidays. War is over -vnd the government is relaxing, as it should, its various rareaucracies. It ought to be a Merry Christmas. The fime has gone by when we need sit around with long faces and glum visages because of the war. The Christmas holidays ought to be observed with a glee unheard of for four years. Merchants in these columns are offering Christmas stocks for the benefit of their patrons and useful gift-giving should certainly be encouraged on every hand. I.t us make it a most enjoyable Christm-td for the children and for all our loved ones. This c:tr and should be done by the judicious expenditure of gif. monies and the Christmas, shopping should be done right here at home. Your merchants pay heavy taxes, they help keep up your public institutions, and it is outrageous to pass them up for the great stores in Chicago. These merchants who advertise their Christmas wares need encouragement and patronage and we bespeak for these progressive and public-spirited men your support ia these weeks of holiday shopping now upon us.
LOOT WITH ZEAL.
Some remarkable letters have been found on Ger
man prisoners just before the armistice was signed. They tell of the indescribable looting and tliievery that the German army has been guilty of. They sho'V

that tne nuns ir-ii. - v.o,0 nftpn heen told that the dear German people de

man people appreciated these robberies. Here Is a let tr recently forwarded and which was found on a Ger
man officer made prisoner by the French troops: "Mansbach, July 3.
"I have safelv r ceived the twenty-one parcels, and manv thanks for th-m. I wish you could have been there on Saturday at the unpacking of the five parcels, which 1 received together, to hear the remarks made at the sight of the pretty drawers, the petticoat, the shirt, the little bonnet and the shirtwaist. One could see that thev came from well-to-do people. It would be best if you could go hack to such places: you might find more things. Everything is useful to u?. -YOVR MOTHER." And again:
"Griemitschau, Saxony August ii. iii"I am very glad that you can snd me the parcels of linen, for I can use everything. Send me what you can, fgr their is nothing left here. I hope you can send me thread for stockings. Send nothing to any one but me. for nobodv thinks of me. Since four years of war I have received nothing for my children. All the others are re ceivinz things. Times are growing harder and harder. Couldn't you send me some chocolates if you find some? mriT WITH 7. EAT... I would prefer to go there myself

VIEWING WITH ALARM. Our much respected and delightfully philosophical friend, Abe Martin, has not heard anybody jollifying because the world is now safe for democracy since the war ended. Says Abe: -What they're interested in is ther own well beln' an' personal comfort. I've heard more knockin an' complainin an' grumblin' an speculatin" since that thing wuz signed than I've heard all thro' th' war. "Well, we don't have enough wars t' know how t' recover from 'em. We've been doin' so blamed many big things that most o' us have become bewildered. We couldn' comprehend anything as big as th' war an" we can't comprehend th' great blessin' o' peae. We've been goin' along contributin' an' investin' an' substitutin an knittin' an' hurrahin' an' tryin' lout do one another in paterism till we've jest become saturated with war. Peace jest suddenly threw a wet blanket on us. "Yes. ever'buddy seems t' feel that they've been stung. One thing, th' Huns gave up t' easy t suit us. We didn't git t' soak 'em hard enough. It's going' t' take as long t' git th' war spirit out o' us as it took t' get it in us. Why. we'd begun t think it wuz paterotic t' pay six cents a pound fer kraut. We thought we wuz helpin' f win th' war. Now, with Huns licked an' kraut jest where it wu2, we feel duped we feel like we could have won with kraut at, five cents a quart jest as well. An' I think we could. Peace has muddled an' dazed us. Th' pe-rade Is over an' we don't know what t' do. Miss Tawn7 Apple sent a twelve dollar cigarette case V a friend at Camp Taylor jest an hour before hostilities ended. Imagine her frame o' mind. Peace should have been de clared gradually. "Lem Watson had a $3,000,000 walnut gun stock contract, an' had already picked out a auto an music boi when peace overtook him. "Uncle Ez Pash had three barrels o' carrots in hi cellar. Now, ther a dead loss. "Tipton Bud had a walkover fer th' nomination fer sheriff till a boom started fer Private Stew Nugent, who'll soon be home from France. "Mrs. Em Mopps has been makin' airplane spindies an' doin' th' best kind till peace hit her. Now she's t'live with a wealthy nephew who's a car tapper in Vincrnnes. I don't know what'll become o' her when I'ncle
lary Abler of the Tribe K, t.sry. has received a ltter from her two brothers, Jo and Kay Schulti. both of whom are in the navy. Joe is a flrstclass cook on the U. S. I-ake Kckatd and Ray on the battleship Texas.
Joe was 111 when be wrote and ex
pected soon to be transferred to a hospital somewhere in France. Itay was in European waters when the armistice was signed and ho witnessed the surrendering of a whole German fleet to his boat and such thriHiwr times he has never seen since beinK in the service. He expects to be home
some time in January or February. Both brothers have been In the service for two years, and their sister hints that both of the boys are somewhat fascinated with a couple of good looking French ladies and that she might have a couple of French ladies for sijters-in-la w. When in Oary both of the boys were employed in the American Sheet and Tin Plate Mills.

see Have vou got some good soap: li you can nna nic i of Gary: "Cadet Lawrence is up to
some underwear, send it to me. Anyway, send me anything you can steal, for' I can ue everything." We don't believe there's a woman in the, United States who would ever write a letter lik that. ' The letters speak for themselves. They certainly need no comment whatever. The dear German people, even the women, prompted the men iu the lick! to loot and steal.
SOMEBODY 'S CURIOUS. President Wflson, in his address to conrress, unctuously declared it his duty to go to Europe, giving that declaration a sort of sobbing emphasis that implied a sacrifice. Granting for the sake of argument what few of us believe, that it is his duty to go, we would like to ask just what accessories our cherished president con templates as incorporated in his obeying this particular call of duty. It is a part of duty to have the transport that is to carry him across seas newly decorated and refitted in luxurious styles? Does his duty demand a force of skilled chefs and assistant chefs numbering fifty persons? Is the fulfillment of the presidential duty dependent upon the complement of orchestras and bands that is taken along? Is his duty so stern that his trans port must be accompanied by a fleet of warships? We venture to say that never before did the liad of any nation set forth on a journey in such regal state as that in which President and Mrs. Wflson are now traveling and we are willing to bet a bright new dollar or two that no future president will dare pull such another stunt. We are bearing in mind at this time when taxes are onerous and the cry to the people from Wash ington officialdom is to save in every possible way, that all this magnificence incidental to President Wilson's nob'.e response to the call of duty is being paid for b the public. What the totaf cost of these undemocratic frills and flounces of kingly state will cost no one seems to know but we may be sure that it will be a pretty penny. No demagogy 5? cheaper thsn that which protests against the maintenance of a decent and high class ser vice for our representatives abroad, and this paper in the past has frequently protested against our niggardly allowances for our diplomats, but it should be borne in mind that between high clas? service and regal magnifi cence there is a decided difference, and it is regal ruag nificence that is characterizing the Wilson trip. Piesi dent Wilson may really be laboring under the strange obession that duty calls him. but it is exceedingly diffi cult to imagine why in responding to this call he feels it necessary to cut a splurge. It might be well to remeni ber that this is a republic and not a kingdom and that he is president of the United States and not a reincarna tion of Ixuis XIV. of France.- Fort Wayne News.
Col. William W. Harts. The entire direction of the arrangements for the arrival and stay of President Wilson in Paris and Versailles and the requirements of the entire U. S. peace delegation to the peace conference has been left to Col. William W. Harts. Colonel Harts was military aide to the president until last August, when he joined the American forces at the front. The president will be the guest of the French nation from the time he lands there and that rrovernment's wishes regard;ntr his trip will be riven precedence in arranging; his visit.
