THE PRICE OK CiLOILY
From Omaha Daily News:
Let us consider the Servian man
and his wife.
Soon he'll march off with the ar
my to fight for his fatherland, quite
sure to bleed, perhaps to die. Don't
imagine he knows the reasons why,
What he knows is that there's been
a "call to the colors," which means
off he must go.
At first there'll be so much "rah-
rah" to it that he'll probably march
with pride and maybe swagger a bit
when the officers aren't looking.
Pretty soon, though, his feet will
get sore, his legs will ache and hun
ger and thirst will gnaw his vitals.
If he escapes the bayonets and bul
lets there'll be the fever; so that,
any way you look at it, If he gets
back at all. it's ten to one he'll be
the merest wreck and shadow of the
fine, upstanding, happy-go-lucky
chap who started. He and thous
ands like him. And all for what?
At that his fate is preferable to
his wife's. For her the long-drawn
agony of lonely waiting, the nerve-
wracking derad, and maddening sus
pense. Then, any day the enemy
may come and burn her humble
home, seize as plunder the little she
has to sustain her while her man Is
away, scare If not murder her child
ren yes, and that's not all or even
the worst.
Of such Is the "GLORY" of war!
will amount to much," is never of
much force. If you have no local
pride, borrow some.

STAND 11Y YOUR CITY
The growth of a town depends
very much upon the character of the
people who make up its population.
This may seem so self evident a
truth as not to need any mention,
but we wish to call attention to one
class of people who work much In
jury to their town. We refer to
the grumblers who run down their
own place as a bulsiness point and
think every village has a better open
ing . The men who refuse to stand
by their city are few in number, and
their Influence Is a bad one. If a
stranger comes along to Invest in
some business he is tola by those
by those croakers that the place Is
no good, and if they could get away
themselves they would do it.
"Why," they will say,"real estate Is
no more valuable than it was five
years ago, and many places go beg
ging for buyers. Farm property is
about worthless and there seems
little hope for the future of this city,
Such talk is enough to . discourage
the most enthusiastic Invester and
drive him away.
' There are but few cities which
have no representation of tnis class
of croakers. They mean no harm
and no doubt would like to see their
places advance, but they cannot see
that they themselves are the barn
acles which prohibit any progress
ive movement. Stand by your city
and sound its praises if you would
see it grow. Encourage investments
and competition, for by them will
Improvements come.
If there Is one better way than
another to ruin a town, It Is for those
who live in It go about apologizing
for its existence. There are some
who are always ready to say, by their
actions at least, that this place don't
amount to much. They will tell you
that the town Is dead; that no one
would think of stopping here; that
some town adjacent Is more respect
able, more enterprising, has better
people, better enjoyments, is ahead
of us In everything.
This is all wrong. Even If it be
true no one should admit it, when it
comes to making. Every good citi
zen of this town should take a spec
la local pride in all that pertains to
home. The schools, the amuse
ments, the business, pleasures, the
picnics, the celebrations. In fact
everthlng should be looked upon by
our own people as just as good as
can be gotten up elsewhere. The
town that says. "Oh, I don't think it
