PER YEAR IN ADVANCE C'hautai;iua this week commenc ing Friday. :o: The Non -Partisan league sot in the neck pretty badly in Minnesota. :o: Fourth of July suggestion: Let Pershing and his hoys "Over There" shoot your fireworks. :o: Austria may prove just as sorry that, she started this offensive as it is that it started the war. :o: The weather man sorter revers ed his engine Friday night to the re lief of the heat sufferers. :o: Summer entered Friday. lly the way. the weather wo have been hav ing for two weeks, y'understand. was spring. :o: If the slacker had boon wh-e, in time of peace he would have pre pared for war by getting married and raising a big family, :o:- There is some comfort about the increased passenger rates this time: While it costs more to travel, it isn't worth as much as it is in neuce i times. :o: The Holsheviki are reported to have won a battle in Siberia against the Cossacks. Why shouldn't they make a mistake some time and light the Germans? :o: When a fellow brags about what he did last year, and shouts loudly what he is going to do next year, you can easily guess that he has done hut mighty little this year. :o: The Austrians fight against the Italians very much as they revolt against their rulers. Their ronr wheels fly round and round, but the car doesn't arrive anywhere. :o: According to one draft construc tion, a child born since May, 1917, is a slacker baby. And then some of us would put childless husbands in the army "as a penalty" for fail ure to marry earlier anil raise child ren. So there y'are. :o: It sounds like a pitiful situation in Vienna, where only half a pound of bread is given to one person a week, but then no doubt they don't mind it, for they are enjoying Ger man rule, which they o desired for themselves and the rest of the world. -:o:- On one side our neighbor says he lad planned to visit his relatives all sunimer, and can t because railroad fare is too high. The neighbor on the other side says his relatives are here now and can't go home. And so .Mr. McAdoo lost u vote in each case. :o: "Now send us only lour divisions of Americans. We will first shake hands and then t raved together into Austria." These were the words of a veteran Italian army officer as he reviewed the work of his troops in driving the enormous Austrian arinvlinsr nineteen ni-j. i t..i:., ..i duck ot the I'iave river.

TRUTHFUL MUSICAL CRITICISM. An old newspaper clipping, bear ing no marks of identification, found its way recently into the office of the Musical Courier, which reprinted this brief statement. It follows: I sat through one of these song re citals by an ambitious lady vocalist the other evening. H.er voice was artificial and metallic and not a single blessed one of us enjoyed a. note of it. Yet we all clapped, po litely after each of her ten songs and she was absolutely radiant with triumphal achievement. And we all went up and shook hands with her afterwards and talked polite idiocies about her voice licking the hand that thrashed us. a bunch of sorry, weak hypocrites encouraging an otherwise nnocent damsel to a career of tyranny and cruelty. :o: THE NEW FOURTH. The council of national defense is to be congratulated upon its decision to make this Fourth of July a na tional day of patriotic education. This war has taught America this thing, if nothing els-e,' that it was sadly lacking in the knowledge of the meaning of patriotism. The people, since war was declared, have been learning fast, but a day of spe cial learning will not be superfluous. Through every county council of defense the national council is sup ervising Independence Day celebra tions. The program as outlined by the council includes such exercises as will bring the spectators as veil as those taking part into ; closer re lationship with the high ideals of the United States. Notable among these exercises is a simple tableau depicting the unity of all peoples ?n the cause of freedom for winch the United States is lighting. The whole plan is a splendid idea and it is noped for the good of the nation that every county council will co-operate with' the national council and make every community a college of patriotism on the Fourth of July. It is not too early to begin prepara tions at once. :o:- THE HEAL GERMAN "DRIVE. The real Cerinan drive is back of the lines the ever-increasinir ores- sure of the population for relief from the almost unbearable burdens im posed by the war. The Itheinisch-Westfalische Zei tung. which is the organ of the Krupp interests, is appealing to the German people to "go barefoot this summer and help the Fatherland. "In view of -he alarming scarcity of leather," it continues. "rich and poor alike should dispense with boots and shoes." German newspapers just received in New York contain the advertise ment of the new drug produced by Dr. Ehrlich and Dr. !ener to s:ih- (1ue tll? Pangs of hunger. It is oiT- erect to inc t.erman people as "an ex- cellent preparation to still the pre- mature feeling of hunger and thirst, nr when food is not forthcoming at 'he proper time." The nubile. ic warned that it is "not a substitute for the daily minimum of nutrition but is used with the greatest suc- cess by persons who aie made ill bv hunger between meals'. In Siniplicissimus there is printed a long list of the nharmaciVs in ui.in, these tablets can be bought, includ- ----- - ..iv., 111 jii;ijui CLIU1IV. When the nnniiliifimi r o .,., f I i. . ciiiiniL- leaenes a. stage in war in which it is urged to go barefooted in order to save leather and its scient I. iss begin to produce patent nostrums to overcome the felling of linger, its military autocracy is bound to fight with greater and greater despera I i; . . ... ... i uon in mc euorr to obtain som; sort of decision that will satisfy the I people. That is the obvious meaning of all the new offensive. The first failed to achieve any of its objects. The general staff was unable to drive I I wedgo between the French and J British armies or to roll the Brit ish hack to tli,e channel. After four I weeks of rest 'and preparation, the 1 drive is resumed in the hope of beat ing the British and the French to 1 their knees before the fast accumu- lating American forces became over whelming. The German General Staff has ex pressed its own judgment as to the seriousness of the situation by the ef forts that it is making to break the Allied lines regardless of cost. Hung er and destitution at home are ene mies no less formidable than the French, IJritish, Italian and American troops that hold the western front. New York World. -:o: THE NEW PENSION LAW. The new pension law which he came effective June 10th provides for substantial increases in pensions for the veterans of the Civil War, espec ially for those who have attained the age of seventy-two. Congressman Sloan has favored the Sun with a letter in which he sets out the prin cipal provisions of the new law as communicated to him by the com missioner of pensions: "The new pension law of June 10, 191S, provides the rate of $"0 per month for soldiers and sailors of any age who served ninety days and less than six months during the Civil War and were honorably discharged, and who are now receiving a lower rate. Those who are seventy-two years, or over, and who served six months are entitled to receive W1 per montn; those who served one year, $35 per month; one and one half years, $3S per month; and two years or over $40 per month. These increases will be increased auto matically and without application of any kind to the pension bureau, to ill soldiers and sailors now pension- d under the act of May 11, 1912, md who have attained the required ige and s-rved the necessary length of time. "Soldiers and sailors who served during the Civil War and are pen- ioned at lower rates under some other law, but who are entitled to pension under the act of May 11. 912, will be required to file an ap plication tiJider that act in order to receive the benefits of the new law." -:o:- UNHAPPY FOR THE GERTVrAN The latest information from Wash ington bears out the reports from he Star's investigation of the air craft situation last month. The pro duction of the Libertv motor is go ing torward in good shane. Ap proximately one thousind have been turned out in the last thirty da vs. As other big factories get into pro duction this month the number should mount rapidly. The factor ies that are countefi on have a pro- luctive capacity of close to one hundred thousand Liberty 2 2-cylind- er motors a vear. When we reach this rate of pro duction we shall be in a position to supply the needs of both England md France, which arc eaer to get our surplus production. They have found it possible to build planes faster than t lie motors to dri.e them. The quantity production of the Liberty will eive them a com fortable assurance cf superiority ov er the enemy. With their own re sources they have been barelv able to keep up with him in airplane building. At present we are building twelves exclusively. But it is unite possible to put the Liberty into production in eights and sixes, reducing the power and weight proportionally each time. The ' 1 2-cvIinder motor produces 4 00 horsepower with a weight of about 825 pounds. The ti-cylinder will weigh just half that aud will produce 200 horsspower. When America got into the war there was no airnlane industry in this country, the place of the air- Diane's invention. The efforts of the signal corps had apparently been devoted to Droducinsr a plane that would not upset under any provoca tion, and which, by the same token. was absolutely worthless for . mill tary purposes since it could not be maneuvered. We set to work under the ablest direction we could find to create an industry. We have done wonders, although we have fallen far short of the mark we thought we could reach. But now we have found ourselves and are beginning to get results Famous For Its Marvelous Mixtxxr Choose Your Chandler Now IF you will find out about the Chandler Six and know the car as more than forty thousand Chandler owners know it, and as countless thousands of friends and neighbors of these Chandler owners know it, you will choose the Chandler as you rear. You will choose it for its marvelous motor, for its power and life and endurance and dependability. You will choose it for its sturdy chassis. You will choose it because it rides the road so well at any speed. You will choose it for the beauty of design and finish of its bodies. "ou will choose it for the economy of its operation and maintenance. Through five years of refinement, without radical changes, the Chandler car has been developed to a point approximating perfection. Distinctive Chandler features, in addition to the Chandler-designed and Chandler-built motor, include now, as for years past, Bosch High Tension Magneto. Solid cast aluminum crank case extending from frame to frame. Durable light-running ball bearings in transmission, differential and rear wheels. Spiral bevel gear rear axle. In details of design and equipment the Chandler checks with the highest priced cars, not with cars that sell at prices similar to Chandler prices. And the Chandler performs with the high-priced cars.
