Early this year we will have .100.-

choice in selecting a girl for a wife.

"Everyone can be a gentleman by
exercising n little care and thought
fuine.s," says a valued exchange. A
whole lot of people ea?i be, it is
true, but when our exchange states
that "everyone" can we are led to
observe that we have several mighty
good looking and well behaved neigh
bors who will never be gentlemen
and nobody wants them to be, either.

v.orld, where the Wilson expression
or heartiul, humane clemocracv are
taking fast hold of the? suffering

There is manifest sincerity behind
every word tiie president utters. It
is the undoubted determination of
the government to prevent profiteer
ing in other lines than agriculture.
It is true that scavengers have been
preying upon the national necessi
ties, but they are being run down
and exposed. That "they are not
summarily dealt with may be due
to a fear that severity might dis
courage others and interfere with
maximum production. It will be
sufficient for the hour if profiteering
can be effectively stoppeel. Punish
ment will remain an after-the-war
problem.
Well did the president say thai he
did not deem it necessary to appeal
to the farmers to do their share, and
that lie had confidence that they will
themselves do it of their own voli
tion and for zeal in the great cause
to which it is their oportunity to
contribute. Lincoln Star.
