A corporation is a horrible thins if you want an office and have no dividend-paying stock in one. A German sub commander boarded a Dutch ship and threw overboard 30 tons of Dutch cheese con. signed to an entente port. If we had been that commander we should have certainly let that sort of cheese go to an enemy. The .Missouri legislature is rasing about nepotism.

The groundhog saw his shadow the other day, which, translated into plain English means, "don't be in a hurry to take 'em off." The country is evincing such a v illlngness to nupport the president that he may not have lo go on the 20-cents-a-day diet after all. A college philosopher of New York says time is a liar. It will frequently tell the truth if the hair dye and the cosmetics are omitted. When girls arrive at fryin' size, there's only blueness in ;ne skies, there's only gladness in life' song as its glad moments sweep along; when they don somewhat longer skirts, these little Imogenes and i Myrts, and do their hair up on their I beans, when they are half way I . . . . . through their teens, take it from us. our fellow men, there's something always doing then! Their fathers want to sit and rest, life no more surges In the breast like a swift torrent bound and pent, w hen the warm years of youth have went. Put will his daughter let him sit and rest while evening's moments Hit? She'll not. She drags him through the r.iriht, like the tail of a flying kite. He has to take her to the dance, where youth and gladness and romance to music's rhythm dip and swing, and watch that hesitation thing until part of the night has gone and he thinks it is nearing dawn, when as a fact 'tis scarcely ten, so he tells them "Come on," and then, through the perfumed and purple gloam he hikes and drags his daughters home. Then the nxt night he goes again. He has no moments in his den to browse and smoke a pipe or two. because he has the. things to do. And when they do not go away, but one night in their home they stay, he thinks he'll have a little rest and there is peace within his breast, but along about eight o'clock he hears a gentle ring or knock, and opens up the big front door, and frying sizers by the score come trooping in and take the floor, and the glad dance is on once more! And dad must act as chaperone, for mother won't stay up alone. .o now he knows no more of peace, dance music never seems to cease, and all life's resting hours are lost, but girls are worth more than they cost. Miami Club's Summer Dane. A summer girl, a winter dance, A lad's white pants per order; An aching head, a hectic flush, A doctor in the boudoir. A feverish brow, a speeding1 pulse.

Iurivice. The r.astor. Rev. E. E. t'houf
j preached on "The Call of the vrv World" from th tvt. -Sir we would see Jesus." In the course of the sermon the speaker discussed the desire of those making the request, what it meant and how the question was answered. "These Greeks who came asking this question represent the class of sincere inquirers, who had some correct Impression but many Imperfect Ideas of salvation," said the speaker. "As lonp: as their motives were rieht they could depend upon the Great Teacher for the truth and they must come to Him to get it. It may be that they had received their impressions from Philip, Peter, Andrew or Nathaniel hut they needed peace and pardon, hence they wished to see Jesus about it. "When a man is sick he calls a doctor; when he is lost he calls a Kuide and for his sins he calls a Saviour. The Saviour w ho would not turn away the fallen woman, but who said 'go in peace and sin no - --! If-.. V -s . U -..-... more,' and He who granted the quest of the dying thief upon the cross would not turn them away and what was true then is true now and will always le true of Jesus in His pardoning power. He who comes earnestly and honestly seeking pardon will receive pardon. How many will be counted in this class of earnest seekers this morning?" Hev. J. W. Newson delivered a strong appeal at the evening service in this church on "Getting Acquainted With Christ." George U Power and the chorus furnished special music. The Sunshine chorus, composed of 23 voices from the primary department of the .Sunday school, under the direction of Mr. Power, pleased everyone with their singing. The special feature for each night this week will be announced from the pulpit from time to time.

expected that the question of reaffirmation of the old Prussian treaty will be considered by the United States. When Ambasador Gerard rofused to enter into negotiations to reaffirm that declaration, under which citizens of both countries would be immune from detention and all property rights of one nation within the other would be respected, the Orman' foreign office took up the matter through the Spanish ambassador in Berlin and the Swiss minister here. Sec'y Lansing has been asked to state the position of the United States on the treaty, which was practically abrogated by the I.a Follette shipping bill. Up to the present no action has been taken, although unofficial hints have freely l.een thrown out that this governmert felt morally bound by its provisions. Will Demand Rights. In this connection as in connection with hints thrown out from German circles that Germany would K.e to arrange with the United States to prevent hostilities between the two countries, officials say that the United States must stand squarely on its rights under international lav. The diplomatic break with Germany was precipitated directly because Germany withdrew her promises to respect international law on the high seas. No movement to restore relations between the two governments will' be acceptable to the United States unless preceded by a promise that all of the rights of the United States will be observed. That was the reply unofficially conveyed to Count von Bernstorff when he let it be known that he had been authorized materially to modify the restrictions that were placed on American shipping in the German announcement that unrestricted submarine warfare had been decided on. And, that will continue to be the, position of the United States, officials here say. ACCUSES MEMBERS OF FEDERAL BANK BOARD Administrating Hcscm Act For Benefit of Group of Con spirators Cliargrtl.

HOLDS PAMPERED EASE IS REAL DEVELOPER SjKMkcr at Union Mcxiins: Says Ciciiius is Xot Offspring of Poverty. International News Service: CHICAGO, Feb. 12. The' old maxim that toil and hardships have an arfinit for great men has been shattered ly William H. Holly, the principal s-peaker at a meeting of the Women's Trade Union league. As a result labor unionists today are chewing over his assertion that pampered ease is the real developer of illustrious men. "Genius never was the offspring of poverty," said Holly. "Character never was developed by long hours and a meager cupboard. Those who point to the early hardships of Abraham Lincoln as being responsible for his presence in the white house mipht as well say he was president because of the illiteracy of his father. Lincoln merely arose above all dilficulties because he was a born genius. Luxury and the chance to labor only eight hours a day would have made him even greater.
