A Pledge.
New York Sun: “I, John Smith,
citizen, by birth or by solomn oath of
allegiance, of the United States of
America, do resolve from henceforth
to avoid the pessimistic negligence,
unmanly surrender of prerogative, and
unjust default of civic duty that give
opportunity to the demagogue, the dis
loyal progandist, the organized
strength of “pacifist” weakness; to
oppose so far as in my power lies the
civic heresies of hypocritical or blind
idealism and the treachery that would
send Uncle Sam, armed with a broken
bladed jackknife, into international
ways where highwaymen lurk; to sup
port my party so far as it promises to
uphold the American flag, to defend
American rights, and protect Ameri
can citizens; to endeavor to purify it
of factionalism and error, and in every
way, by restraint of selfish impulse
and cultivation of sanity with courage,
to contribute so far as I may to the
spread of true Americanism in this
time of test. I shall earnestly and
unceasingly endeavor to keep my head
straight on my shoulders and not
• twist the other fellow’s neck because
he is not looking in the direction I do.

I Guilty Consciences.
The editor of a newspaper in a
nearby town borrowed a gun from a
friend the other day to go hunting.
When he appeared with it on the
street, he noticed a peculiar agitation
' among the denizens of his town. Peo
ple rushed from store to store and
little crowds gathered in the doorway
and windows to watch him pass along.
The editor was thinking about the va
cation ahead of him, but his face, from
habit, was set and stern. Suddenly a
man, braver than the rest, rushed up
with a dollar bill in his outstretched
hand. “Bill,” he said, “old boy, I’ve
been intending to hand you this dollar
I for six months. It’s for the sub
scription I owe you." The editor
gasped, almost fainted, caught him
self and manfully accepted the prof
fered dollar with a look which said
“Go on! Damthetorpedoes!” The mar
rushed away, and several others
braved the editor’s gun and paid up
back bills. Altogether, when the
editor arrived at the office he had s
nice roll, enough to pay for his vaca
tion and some left over. But a sur
1 prise awaited at the office. He founc
six bushels of potatoes, ten dozer
eggs, a load of hay, two fine hogs, t
firkin of butter, two bushels of cori
5 and a gallon of hard cider. In th<
center of his desk was a large placard,
and somebody had written on it:
“Dear Bill: All the boys have paid
up in full. Put up your gun and be
friends again.”
Don’t Be Radical.
Life: The sooner young folks learn
not to be radical the sooner will they
find themselves floating serenely down
the stream of life without friction. To
be radical takes lots of trouble: You
have to be continually ripping off
veneers, scratching surfaces, engaging
in original reasearch, applying acid
tests, lifting lids, making analyses,
tearing off masks, demanding proof,
and so on inimitably. But it is all
pernicious activity. The leaders and
makers and sellers of earth fix things
up so that they will seem to be so
and-so; their leadership and their
fame and their profits depend upon
jur being perfectly credulous and ac- 1
:epting things for what they seem. I
Why, then, ask embarrassing ques
tions and thus incur the everlasting
ill-will of those who are trying to I
hoodwink us? It is much better to ]
take things as they come (paying ]
cash, of course) and be humbly grate- .
ful.

None Equal to Chamberlain’s.
“I have tried most all of the cough ]
cures and find that there is none that ]
equal Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy (
It has never failed to give me prompt
relief,” writes W. V. Harner, Mont
pelier, Ind. When you have a cold
give this remedy a trial and see for
yourself what a splendid medicine it
is. Obtainable everywhere.

All Records Broken.
It was no exaggeration when the
slogan “Biggest and Best” was adopt
ed for the 1915 Nebraska state fair.
Without taking into consideration the
Saturday attendance the people ad
mitted in the six days of the fair
numbered 172,376, 6,000 more than
in 1912, Nebraska’s biggest state fair
year. Better yet, the displays in all
lines were record breakers. This was
especially true in live stock, poultry,
agriculture, horticulture, automobiles,
bees and honey and in the display of
Nebraska made products.
