Raise the salaries of teachers.
:o:
It is simple justice to the deserv
ing. :o:
Say the right thing at the right
time and someone will surely enjoy
you.
:o:
The "laborer is worthy of his hire"
and means the teachers of Cass
couni as well as the state.
-:o:
Above all other "less" expedients,
let us look forward to a day when
we will have a guileless congress.
:o:-
Germany merely asks as a basis of j
peace that sho may be permitted to I
keep all she won and get back all
she lost.
:o:
At present the war is costing the
United States only 24 million dollars
a day, which shows we are only
dabbling at it as yet.
:o:
Chicago bartenders have devised a
Garfield cocktail to be served on sa
loonless Mondays. It consists of a
glass of Lake Michigan water with
a cinder in it.
:o:
To the fore winds of the heavens
with the war cabinet proposition.
Hut there are some fellows, if not
the war cabinet, would find some
thing else to harp about. They
simply want to make people happy.
-to:
If those Germans, who rule or will
ruin Germany, extract any amuse
ment from stating peace terms, all
right. But when the time comes they
are simply going to accept, not form
ulate. :o:-
Col. Roosevelt says Secretary Bak
er isn't big enough for the job. And
Mr. Roosevelt knows a man who is
big enough and can touch him with
out taking his hands out of his
pockets.
:o:
When a man stalls around in
front of a jewelry display window,
the chances are he's admiring his
reflection in the glass instead of the
jewelry. A woman puts in a good
deal of time before a glass, but it's
usually her own glass in her own
boudoir.
-:o:
Somebody has said that a poet
worksv best when he is hungry.
Somebody else has said that there
will be no real poetry written until
the war has been over fifty years.
How much humans know about
poetry! And how positive they can
be about it!
:o:
Isn't it possible that the govern
ment is too easy on the pro-German
spies and traitors? If an American
in Germany was found to be a traitor
or spy, would they just interne him
for a season, feed him well and make
life one of ease and luxury, do you
think? Crawford Courier.
-:o:-
We prate contentedly of American
freedom of speech, but outside of
one class, who has any freedom of
speech? We have in mind just now
the Carroll County, Missouri, farmer
who stood up at a farmers' meetiing
the other day and said the American
fanners were slackers. Is there a
representative of any other class in
Anirica who would dare to say that,
even if it were the truth?
How's This?

Is Willard in favor of fightless
days. It begins to look that way.
Good cheer is a great lubricator. It
oils' life's machinery.
:o:
Motto to hang in henhouses: An
egg a day keeps the hatchet away.
:o:-
Next Wednesday is Lincoln's birth
day. By all means, don't forget it.
:o:
The verdict seems to be that "vic
tory bread" is going to be a win
ner. -:o:-
General Sherman did not say what
war is. He merely said what it used
to be.
:o:-
School houses and roads are two
exceptions to the government's sug
gestion of abated construction work.
:o:
Still puzzled over the meaning of
bolsheviki. IIcre'3 the Chicago Tri
bune's version: bolshe (bull) viki
(china shop).
:o:
Governor Neville will serve out his
two years and can be re-elected if he
wants to. But in case he does not
want to be, who will be the next
governor?
:o:
We are not in favor of investigat
ing the packers. That s too easy.
Confiscation would probably meet
the sentiment of a big majority of the
people of the land.
-:o:
From its apparent lack of thor
oughness we are forced to believe
that the la to German strike was not
the real article, and must have been
ntended for the expert trade only.
-:o:-
The strike reports from Germany
ast week made awfully good reading,
anyhow. Not a single complaint
ha3 been heard. The public prob
ably would stand for a good deal
more of it.
-:o:
Bulgaria is again reported to be
anxious to know when Germany is
going to pass around the pie. Bul
garia ought to remember what hap
pened to Oliver Twist when he made
a similar inquiry.
:o:
A Kansas City man reports shell
ed popcorn as selling at twelve cents
a pound. Before the war Doncorn
retailed at three cents. No wonder
the girls of this generation affect
motor cars and phonographs and
other cheaper ways .to entertain
their beaux.
:o:-
"They then forced the safe door
with an explosive without disturb
ing several canaries whose cages had-
been placed upon the safe," says the
reporter. The yeggs were in luck.
Had the canaries been disturbed,
their infernal barking and mewing
might have spread the alarm.
:o:-
Hearing that there would be no
rood in Germany by spring, Von
Hindenburg said "My reply to that is
that I shall be in Paris by April."
The kaiser promised to be in Paris by
Christmas, 1914, but the German
civilians couldn't manage any way
to make food out of that.
:o:-
Does the army surgeon imaging he
has discovered something new when
he so proudly announces that married
men stand shock better than single
men, and are less nervous and excit
able? He merely is telling what ev
ery married man remcmber3 from
the first year of his marriage.
-o:-
The farmers should be on the alert
for help, if they are not already
prepared. l.THe farmers all over the
United States and in foreign coun-
tries are crying for help. The towns
in this country will have to furnish
all the help they can. There should
not be an idle able-bodied man,
young or old.
WIIL GO ON WITH THE WAR.
As was to be expected, the allied
war council in Paris has specifically
found and proclaimed that there is
no possible peace foreshadowed in
the recent statements of the German
chancellor, von llertling.
That means that there will be no
let-up in the Intensive program of
preparation for continuance of the
war by the allies. Not even the re
ports coming out of Germany of in
ternational disturbance will weigh to
prevent each allied power from
putting into the war every force and
every expedient available.
Any peace offer that wins consid
eration by the allies must be one
that takes into account the essen
tials of a peace laid down by Presi
dent Wilson and the British pre
mier. It must ne a uemocratic peace,
backed up by spokesmen of the people
of the central powers, rather than
one proposed by the militaristic
autocracy that has ruled from its
Prussian throne.
To the discredit of the raucous
outcry being heard in Washington
with reference to the creation of a
war council for the co-ordination of
America's war effort, it may be dis
cerned that American effort is now
being co-ordinated with the efforts
of the allies, that what has been
done in speeding up war preparations
has been done through conferences
with the war authorities of the al
lies. This war board in Versailles is in
much better position to know how
this country can make itself most
effective as an influence in the war
than can any man in Washington
with an ear attuned to every com
plaint or criticism. Lincoln Star.
The January thaw.
:o:-
But it took February to bring it.
And this groundhog month, too.
-:o:
Farmers arc rapidly acquiring hog
sense.
-:o:-
George Washington's
brithday
will soon be here.
Peace hath her trickeries no less
renown than war.
-:o:-
Meanwhile a spell of mild weath
er continues to be the best fuel ad
ministrator.
-:o:
We are not looking for a very late
spring. But then we arc no prophet,
or the son of a prophet.
-:o:-
The allied war conference at Ver
sailles has decided not to have a gen
eralissimo, which suits the headline
writers.
There, little girl don't cry. And
likewise cease your eoubin. A month
from today you will say you've seen
your first spring robin.
We fail to understand why raw
corn that costs less than 2 cents
a pound should cost 5 cents a pound
when ground into corn meal.
:o:
Time to talk garden and com
mence to plan the amount you ex
pect to plant. Every family hould
have a garden, let be ever so small
or large.
-:o:
It is believed that Doctor Garfield
can square himself with snoozcr in
America by declaring heatlcss Sun
day afternoons during next July and
August.
-:o:-
Warm, springlike days, when the
snow melts in the streets and the
motor cars get you almost as muddy
by passing you as by knocking you
down and running over you.
:o:-
"Conditions are abnormal now, we
say, by way of apologizing for war's
privations. Yet in the known his
tory of the world there have been
2,357 years of war and only 227 years
cf peace.
:o:-
A high school girl was asked to
parse the word "kisH," and this was
her result; kiss is a noun, but it is
usually used In conjunction. It is
never declined and is more common
than proper. It is not very singular,
it is generally used in the plural
It agrees with me.
IT'S AMERICA'S BATTLE HYMN.
A corporal in the headquarters
troop of the 101st United States
Cavalry has been urging the adoption
of "Onward, Christian Soldier" as
the battle hymn of America. His
argument, quoted by the 'Literary
Digest, has a certain stirring appeal
and Trench and Camp, the weekly
paper published in the cantonment,
has arranged to collect the votes of
the soldiers in the matter of the fa
mous hymn's adoption. The corpor
al writes:
Our great President has outlined
America's policy and declared to the
Teutonic powers that we seek noth
ing but justice to the oppressed and
an assurance of everlasting peace,
with the downfall of autocracy. Can
those words mean anything but that
we have a righteous cause that we
are the inspiration of our Allies
that we are in a war for world free
dom thatwe are the reserve forces
of the Almighty sent forth to struggle
for weary brothers in arms who, for
more than three years, have stayed
the onrush of the diabolical, God
forsaken foe? Can thoso words
mean anything but that we are the
last, final, mighty blow, called on by
the very God himself to bring in
spiration and new courage to the
battle worn hosts of righteousness?
Do we not, therefore, need a battle
hymn that characterizes the cause
for which we fight and give our very
lives and fortunes for its victory?
Can it better be expressed than by
that old familiar marching hymn of
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war.
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Have you ever heard that wonder
ful hymn blared forth by massed
bands? Kajre you ever listened to
your regimental band play it on
their way to or from Sunday church
service? Have you ever felt the
thrill the cold chill creep up your
back until it came with a rush to
the very roots of your hair, when you
heard it as you marched on parade in
the old home town? Is there any
thing more inspiring than its march
ing rhythm its words and simplic
ity of meaning? Has it not been the
old reliable of band leaders for years
to bring applause from an unrespon
sive audience? Does it not appeal to
you as the battle hymn of the hour
the very thing we need that extra
something not expressed by bayonets
or bursting shells, but the human
dynamic force back of them inspir
ed to an overwhelming victorious
strength?
We will not have time to sing it in
the trenches nor going over the top.
but-we can sing it and have our
bands play it as they march through
the streets of America, England,
France, Italy and Russia on our way
to the front. It will proclaim to
nations everywhere that America has
a divine objective.
Let us then sing it everywhere,
on the march,' in the divine service
in our hearts. Let it grow and
kindle within us. Let us thorough
ly understand our objective in that
song, so that no matter what the
experience or sacrifice may be we
will stick to our task with that tenac
ity which has ever marked American
victory. Therefore, let the bands
sound off the battle hymn of Amer
ica: Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before;
Christ, the royal master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle.
See his banners go.

NO LIBERTY WITHOUT
GOVERNMENT
Special dispatches to the New
York papers declare that their corre
spondents have discovered there are
no stores of wheat in Russia and
that the Germans can get no supplies
from there. The investigation re
vealed the fact that when the people
of the wheat-growing district heard
that "liberty" had been declared,
they all went on a holiday and have
never resumed steady work. The
Russian farming class is thoroughly
disorganized. No wheat was plant
ed and the large stores that have
accumulated since the beginning of
the war have been permitted to rot
They say that instead of Russia be
ing able to export wheat to Ger
many, the whole population is on
the verge of famine. Sir George
Paish, the British economist, is said
to have told Ambassador Page that
a famine is near. Reports are of in
creasing epidemics in Russia.
Other writers say that the destruc
tion of organized government in
Russia will bring as great disasters,
if not greater, than if the country
had been overrun by hostile German
armies. In a large part of the coun
try production has stopped, business
of all kinds has disappeared, and the
extermination of the people is threat
ened. The discuses that are caused
by lack of food are becoming more
numerous and the population so
weakened that if an epidemic does
start, it will sweep the country al
most clean, for the people will have
no resisting power to any kind of
illness. The anarchists of Russia
think that government is a curse.
They will perhaps learn, when it is
too late, that no people can 'exist
without government. Without it,
there cannot be even life, much less
"liberty." World-Herald.

When You Have a Cold.
It is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate th'e good quali
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana, 111.,
writes: "Our five-year-old son Paul
caught a severe cold last winter that
settled on his lungs and he had ter
rible coughing spells. We were
greatly worried about him as the
medicine we gave him did not help
him in the least. A neighbor spoke
so highly of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy that I got a bottle of it.
The first dose benefited him so much
that I continued giving it o him
until he was cured."
