The only hope of preszrving what is best lies in the practice of an immense charity, a wide tolerance, a sincere respect for opinions that are not ours. - . ---P. G. Hamerton

The New Alliance

The signing of a formal agreement by which Japan becomes aligned with Germany and Italy does not, as Secretary of State Hull pointed out. make any change in conditions as they have previously existed. Japan was already working with the axis powers, and the new treaty does not commit her to any course she was not already, embarkec upon. Moreover; the world has come to know thatl written agreements are no more binding than anj other kind among nations, and that each of the nations involved will continue to pursue a course looking to its own best interests regardless of any formal agreement. If it is to the mutual advantage of the nations concerned they may be expected to cooperate to a degree; if not the new pact will not be considered binding. In other words the inter-

national situation as regards Japan and the dictator nations of Europe has not changed, despite the attempt to place great importance on the agreement reached at Berlin.

The Berlin pact is obviously an attempt to frighten the United States into refusing} further assistance to Great Britain and to Canada. Its effect is more likely to hasten and increase that assistance, because the more evident it becomes that the totalitarian poweérs are arranged against this country, the more the people of this country will be convinced that the survival of Great Britian is essential to our own safety.—Goshen News-Demo-crat. 2 %8 n - Another thing this country needs is less ‘convenient monthly payments so easy to budget.” - e $ 52 8 ' A review of the speeches made by Wendell Willkie reveals that he favors all of the New Deal program including_parts of the program he once questioned. He now believes, or professes to believe, that the government power program is a wonderful thing. He would continue social security, old age assistance, various government subsidies, work relief, ete., but at the same time he dould stop this government spending. It would be the neatest trick of the century if he could do that.

[ BOWLING NOTES l

- Due to sevéral absent members of the local Elks bowing teams which started the season of 1940 and 41 on the newly constructed Fourth street Recreatios alleys Thursday night, did not cause ~any material damgage to the high. ly polished four lane alleys nor cause any worry about high scores at this early stage of the game.

This Week’s Best Stories and Witticisms

The lad said he had nimself all braced to take it on the chin if the girl sald 'mo”’“ when he asked her to marry him, but it made him mad as a bug when she just laughed. '"Taint Right e A Rochester wisecracker tells of a chap over there, helping hold down a bench on down-town corner, who was cussing something up one side and down fhe other. At no time during his oration did he use the same word twice. A bit of eaves dropping revealed that his grievance ressulted from the fact that his wife had asked him fo carry some wood into the house after she had cut it The bombastic orator said he was being ‘‘regimented,” and that nowadays no one had any personal liberties. Naming No Names The conversation between three or four Winamac men the other evening turned to the time the militia went from here to the Mexicap border, and Russ Dilts recalled one ! incident we don’t remember of having heard before. - One member of the company then well known here but now living elsewhere, was plainly enjoying the trip more than most of the others. possibly because he was understood to be pretty well hen-pecked at home. During inspection one morning the hard_boiled major barked at this chap: ‘“Button up yer coat.” “Yes, dear,” absently replied the soldier.

“Close that refrigerator door,” shouted Mayonnaise. ‘““Can’t you see I'm dressing?”’ : :

Believe It Or Not

Comes now a hot weather tale from Parke county wherein one Edward Rowe, a farmer. “claims to have received first-aid treatment for heat prostration from a pet dog Driving a cow to pasture, he was overcome and nearly fainted He said his dog ran to a nearby creek, jumped in and hurried back to shake water on him and revive him.

Sam says: “In .the old days bathing girls dressed like Mother Hubbard. Today they dress like Mother Hubbard’s cupboard.”

. One student asked another if the car he had just bought was a second hand one, and he said he'd be tickled pink if it wasn’t any more than that.

The tight-fisted husband who was out of town for his wife’s birthday sent her a check for a million kisses as a present. The wife, a little annoyed at his thrift. sent back g post card: ~ "Dear Jim: “Thanks for the perfectly lovely birthday check. The milkman ecashed it this morning. :

Prolific Recalling some wf his experiences as an assistant in the Lo. gansport census office during the recent count, Loran Warnper still chuckles over the answer given by one of the wome, who had applied for a job. She was asked to define a ‘“‘census enumerator.” and she said it was'a person who went around inereasing -the population. : : - ‘ ‘
