And bear in mind these four short

Don't tell your woes, or you'll find

Look out for snow.

Don't be a slacker.

Yes, winter is coming.

Apple picking still booming.

Save your dimes and buy a Liberty

Let state pride be added to patrio

"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

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.

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.

The German-American Alliance,

of its members to the United States,
observes that "the Germany we

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.

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.

The difference between bull-headed

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.

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. Western

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. Lincoln Star.
