Cincinnati Enquirer. :o: Look out for snow. :o: Don't be a slacker. -:o: Yes, winter is coming. :o:- Filled your coal bin yet? :o: Apple picking still booming. :o:- The hazel-nut crop is good. tor- Save your dimes and buy a Liberty bond. Let state pride be added to patrio tism and sacrifice. -:o:- "He who loves not his country' said Byron, "can love nothing." Plattsmouth is to have a Home Guard company, and n6 mistake. :o: It don't get. you anything to sit around and wish get right up and hustle. -:o: Even newspaper men now are sub ject to the income tax, showing you need mighty little income, to come in under this tax. -:o: There are a few farmers in Ne braska who are so poor that they actually cannot afford anything bettter than a Ford far. -:o:- Sorue people try their best to get exempted from the draft, and some are exempted, no matter whether they are entitled to it or not. :o:- Of course there are. other reasons for exemption, but cold feet seems to be a good excuse for some in this county for getting out of the draft. :o:- With an autocrat in Hollweg's place and a peace apostle on Zim merman's job international affairs in Germany should be interesting. "Women have been asked to aban don "style" on account of the war. They have abandoned almost every thing else, and you know there's a limit. -:o: When the boys who are too shift less to work, grow up and marry the girls who know nothing of cook ing and sewing, won't married life be grand? -:o:- The problem of making one chop or one potato do the work of two is now engrossing the attention of'the Housekeeper's Institution. Most people will agree it has been doing this for some time. :o:- Of course we would feel more like advising Wisconsin as to mat ters senatorial if we could forget for a time a few things about our own Senator Norris, who sails in the same boat almost all the time as La Follette. Big dairymen are using music to make cows give more milk. One of the best pieces has been found to be "The Blue Danube." Probably has some relation to the fact that water always has helped stretch the milk supply. :o:- When the mutinous Russian sold iers failed to defend Riga and the 'Germans took it the Kaiser wired, ' "Onward with God," without ex plaining how the junction of forces he had directed should be brought about. Perhaps he was too excited a German victory now so rare to be conscious of his oversight. WE WANT THAT WAR SONG. Lieutenant John Philip Sousa, now at the Great Lakes naval train ing station, has written the music for a great war song. Who will write the words? Lieutenant Sousa pulled down the blinds and went to bed at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning after having work ed all night on the finishing touch es to his musical masterpiece, "The Liberty March." The air was an in spiration and music critics believe the "March King" has written the great marching tune of the war. The revolutionary war had its "Yankee Doodle." the civil war "John Brown's Body" and "March ing Through Georgia," and the boys of the Spanish-American war went up San Juan hill to the tune of "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." The first British expeditionary army marched into France to a vaudeville song written by an Amer ican, "Tipperary," but the popular ity of that air ceaesd long ago in the trenches. For a long time there had been a demand for a great war marching song. Thousands have tried, and thousands have failed. Several weeks ago Secreary of the Treasury McAdoo telegraphed .Licu tenant Sousa, who is in command of all America's fighting musical organizations, asking if he could write a martial air that would typ ify America's determination to make the world safe for humanity. The lieutenant said he would try. At dinner one night last week in Kansas City the inspiration came. The author of "The Washington Post March," "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and other great airs that have set millions of feet to stamp ing barely had opportunity to jot the notes upon his cuff, and when he arrived at his hotel he worked nearly all night and the succeeding night. He worked on the trail coming to Chicago Monday, and af ter dinner Monday night went to his apartment at the Moraine hotel n Highland Park and labored on the score until dawn. The new march will be given its, first public introduction at the Lib erty bond rallies, being dedicated to the Liberty loan. Lieutenant Sousa is leaving the matter of words to the public. Who will collaborate in getting the world's greatest war its great est war song? Chicago Herald. ror- For months a long suffering pub lic, mulcted of every nickel it earn ed by food speculators, has born the injustice patiently, believing that ultimately the government would save it. It is a wonderful demon stration of faith of the people in the government and it is to be hoped that now the food bill has passed, steps will be taken immediately to reduce prices to normal. ro: Speaking -of man and woman's fullest responsibilities in life, are there any greater "slackers" than those who do not marry and raise a family. ror- Edgar Howard wll make a good governor, just as will Governor Moorehead or Attorney General Reed will make a splendid United States Senator. :o: A Chicago judge has decided that there is no law as to how much a woman shall, wear on the street. Well, who thought there was? ro: Each morning's mail from a hund red and one departments of the gov ernment demonstrates that despite the war advice is still cheap. Are your fluea ready for flre? :o:- Rabbits are numerous and fat. :o: Veterans start to Vicksburg Sun day. -:o:- There is always something to bo done do it. :o: You can start your turkeys. in now to fatten :o:- Exemption is easily gotten, if you only know how. :o;- The records in the divorce courts show that a lot of peaches are lem ons. . roc- Be a little more generous with your coin and not so' free with your opinions. ror- Sedition is more dangerous than the poisonous fily. Swat In all com munities. -ror- Any time you think you are fool ing the devil, you are making a fool of yourself. America is not only "Shouting, the Battle Cry of Freedom", but will carry the goods right to her. ror- La Follette has had his say, hut what did he say any more than he has already said. Not a thing. ror- A number of registration boards are now giving complete courses in how to be drafted though married. ror- Democracy is the goal of every enlightened nation, in the world to day. And America first pointed the way. rd: Invest your money in Liberty bonds. The first issue is now at a premium. No better way on eartn to save money. Those who have visited Deining, where Camp Cody is located, say thr.t place was entirely overlooked when heU was located. :or- With beef selling at 8 cents on loof, it looks like the packing louses might be making their mil- ions and a great deal more. ro:- To be one hundred per cent American should be the ambition of every man and woman in the land today. We are not playing a fifty fifty game. -ro: The German-American Alliance, n resolutions pledging the loyalty of its members to the United States, observes that "the Germany we knew is only a memory" and pre sumably not a very pleasant mem ory just now. ror- A contemporary points with pride to the fact that Maurice F. Egan has been minister at Copenhagen during the Roosevelt, Taft and Wil son administrations. Nothing re markable about that. After being at Copenhagen ten years he ought to be up to snuff. Remember those letters will be the soldier boys' most welcome visitor in camp. If your own boy is not there, write to some other boy. A cheerful letter is the work of but a few mdments, but it will be read and re-read by the lonesome boy who gets it. Remember that. Write and write, and write often. ror- The violent opposition to con scription among the people of French Canada, who have two coun tries to fight for, i3 hard to under stand, particularly in view of the fact that French-Canadians in the United States are said to have filed fewer claims for exemption than any other element of foreign stock. Un doubtedly our French-Canadians are less ignorant than the masses in Quebec, and this may partly explain. :o:- The difference between bull-headed and logical argument is this: If its the other fellow, it Is bull-headed. ror- Tinie to doa woollens to be healthy. PARCELS TO SOLDIER BOYS. The office of Adjutant-General wnite is Deing deluged with re- quests for information as to how to send parcels to American soldiers at the front. General White calls at tention to the following regulations, issued recently by the Postoffice de partment: Parcels of fourth-class or domes tic parcel post matter not exceeding -20 pounds in weight, originating in the United States or any of its possessions for transmission to the United States, and such parcels orig inating with these forces for trans mission to the United States or its possessions, are subject to the Unit ed States domestic classification, conditions and rates of postage, the eighth zone rate of 12 cents for each pound or fraction thereof being chargeable on parcels subject to pound rates, but such parcels may not be registered, insured, or sent C. O. D. - Parcels intended for members of the United States expeditionary forces - in Europe should be address ed in the following manner: 1. Name of addressee. (2) Of ficial designation of unit to which addressee belongs. (3) The words American Expeditionary Forces." Under no circumstances should the location or station of a military organization be included in an ad dress on mail for any member of such forces. Every parcel must bear the sender's name and address, which should be placed in the upper left corner of the, address side; and it i3 of the utmost importance that parcels sent to the expeditionary forces be securely packed and wrap ped fully and plainly addressed ir, accordance with the foregoing, and have proper postage prepaid thereon. Parcels addressed to the Ameri can expeditionary forces shall be dispatched in the same manner as other mail intended for those forces. ro: A HISTORY. One of the interned German ships, known as the "Geier," has been re fitted and rechristened. It now bears the name, Carl Schurz. There is history, romance and a sad philosophy in this one change of name. A half century ago Carl Schurz was a National figure in Americar ife. He was a German republican who plotted and fought to make Germany . free country. Beaten and hunted as a refugee. with a price on his head, he found safety first in France and then came to America. With a million or more of his fellow countrymen of a like kind, he found in the United States a freedom wider and more generous than he had dreamed of in the fath erland. He paid for that freedom with unequaled, unhyphenated loyalty. He served America as a citizen, as a soldier, and those who followed him to the land of liberty did i:ie same. Now our republic is at war with an empire which has united against and increased a thousand-fold all the tyrannies that Carl Schurz and lis followers endeavored to over throw, and failing, were obliged to escape. If there are any descendents of the exiles of the Carl Schurz per iod who have forgotten to look with favor on the autocracy of Ber ing they should remember Carl Schurz and what he fought and stood for, and that the name Carl Schurz, given to the interned ship, symbolizes the placing of a ship that becomes an American property and not a Prussian ship.

Goos, Plattsmoutht Nebr. 10-8-tfwkly A SEPENT IN UNCLE SAM'S BOSOM It is shallow philosophy which suggests that for cultural reasons the German language should be taught in American public schools What the American public schools should primarily seek to do is to lit young men and women for capable participation in the life of America Culture that i3 of service in their home country is what their country should feel some obligation to equip them with. Foreign languages are only use ful In fitting one for careers in foreign lands, or at least should be only useful in that direction. Any one who starts out to carve out a career in foreign lands should be allowed, and required, to fit him self for that career at his own ex pense and in his own way. The public schools of this country should not be burdened with the cost of fitting American boys for service in any other country. Of course the great objection to the German language is the fact that time has disclosed that under cover of its use in this country a mons trous propaganda has been conduct ed to make the interests of the Unit ed States subservient to those of the kaiser. The German language has been utilized in the United States to keep iormer uermans rrom becoming Americanized, keeping them kaiser- ites and royalists, instead of allow ing them to become enamored of their adopted country, its ideals and its customs. In that respect its influence is ?o outrageously bad that no con-idc-ra- tion of its cultural value is tolcr able. Whenever a language is dis covered to he a menace to a coun try or a government, it is queer philosophy that would impose upon that countrj- any duty to teach that language in its public schools. Germany has been one of the most strenuous influences in the suppres sion of the languages of those un fortunate people whom circumstan ces has made her subjects. The Ger man language in America should be hoisted unceremonially over the transom. It is a traitorous device, an enemy of Uncle Sam. The apolo gist for it is entitled to popular sus picion.
