-:o:-
United we stand divided we fall.
Hod protect our boys in France.
:o:
The profiteers are still doing busi
ness. A real man never pets a setback;
if he does he doesn't Know it, which
is the same thing-
:o:-
Wliy does the government keep on
coin ins nickels? They won't buy
anything any more.
:o:
There are typographical errors in
all newspapers none are excepted,
not even the Journal.
:o:
The German troops sought the foot
of the Rainbow Division at Vaux
and found a pot of hell.
:o:
In spite of a knowledge of orni
thology a fellow may take a few
swallows when he is out for a lark.
:o:
And it doesn't seem more than a
few weeks since nearly everybody
you saw was clamoring for another
hour of white light, not daylight.
:o:-
To the cow, the grass in the next
pasture always looks greener. So to
the flat dweller conies the belief
that there is always hot water in
the apartment across the street.
:o:
We hope, fervently, the card in
dx chump who worked out the de
tails of the new zone system law
for newspapers will choke on the
first bunch of reports he gets hold
of.
-:o:
When you see a vaudeville sketch
consisting of two-third waving the
flag and the other third singing
"Over There" you wonder what the
performers will do for a living when
the war is over.
:o:
The corn crop in this part of the
country usually makes folks' teeth
chatter two or three times in a sea
son, for fear it will be burned up.
Hut in a large majority of years tiie
corn comes through.
:o:
A great deal of poetry is written
against the profiteer, but compara
tively little of its gets into print.
The editors evidently feel that if
the government can't curb profiteer
ing, the poets can't, either.
:o:
We've always had food profiteer
ing in this country and perhaps
it's expecting too much to believe
that the profiteers will cease their
evil practices just because the Na
tion happens to be engaged in a
great war. It takes something more
than patriotism to pound the devil
out of the hearts of some men.
:o:-
A deacon in one- of the churches
not a thousand miles from I'latts
mouth gives the reason for the pas
tor's annual vacation in the follow
ing: "We make the wicked people
in the community think we do it
because we love our spiritual advis
er, but the real facts of the matter
are, we let him off when the weather
is hot, because we don't want to go
to church and sweat and swelter un
tir it takes our appetites for dinner.
Just a few of us deacons know the
inside of this vacation matter."

Cass county's crops are assured.
Money is the root of all evil, and
we all are after the root.
-:o:-
Pessimists have no right to con
verse with intelligent people.
:o:
Big business would like to put on
the emergency brakes but is afraid
it will cause a financial wreck.
The roar of the battle on the
Marne can be heard, it is said, for
seventy miles. Wait till the Anieri
cans really give the cai-'eni-up yell
After Mr. Burleson takes charge
of the telegraph will it accelerate
the messenger boy any to put a
special delivery stamp on the tele
gram? :o:
A man certainly wants beer awful
bad when he will pay nearly $9.00
railroad fare to St. Joseph, Mo., and
return, to fill up, and only get two
per cent beer at that.
:o:
After quoting Secretary Lane's
definition of America, one 4 minute
speaker out in the state gave his
own idea of what America means.
He said American means business.
-:o:-
Notwithstanding the big rain yes
terday the democratic county con
vention met in Louisville Wednes
day and selected delegates to the
state convention at Hastings Tues
day, July :,o.
-:o:-
We don't seem to be able to identi
fy the "hugger-mugger peace" which
Mr. Lloyd George says he doesn't
want. But, from Mr. Lloyd George's
description of it, we are certain we
don't want it either.
:o:
True Americans must be put on
guard in both state and county in
the selection of candidates. No oth
er kind will go through in this cam
paign. Be careful where you stand
and see that your platform is solid.
:o:
The trouble with the American sol
diers, the Germans find, is that they
don't become interested in a proposal
to go back to l'aris. They've been
in Pari:?, it seems, and know all
about it. What they want to.. see
now is Berlin.
:o:
When Premier Clemenceau on be
ing interviewed after a return from
the front simply smiles and says, "I
have seen things of immense inter
est," the world somehow feels re
newed confidence that the German?
can't break the line.
:o:
A Major in the army in France
says, every American will come back
a good roads booster, which is good
news to everybody, for the Lord
knows we need some road boosting
in this land of the free and especially
right here in Cass county.
:o:
This war will not be won by argu
ing with Germany. It will be won
only by fighting her. The peace of
victory is the only peace that will
justify the sacrifices made by the
world democracies. And that peace
is now within their grasp!
:o:
In France American boys are dy
ing in defense of American institu
tions. Are we at home making those
institutions worth dying for? Cer
tainly we are hot if we pay no at
tention to them and let the gang
run them for its own profit!. K. C.
Star.
:o:
A military expert for the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger says the American
soldiers lack discipline, adding that
"they are smart fellows, but only
when they like to be." And from
now on until tho eud of the war is
going to be one of the times when
they like to be.
WHAT CAUSES POVERTY?
In a large majority of cases pov
erty is not due to injustice or low
wages, but to shiftlessness. I may
be the only man in the world who
believes this, but I do believe it, as
the Tesult of long and intimate ex
perience with life. One of the
things we know is that millions of
poor men in the United States have
become well-to-do and lived respect'
able and useful lives while about it
This means, without a doubt, that
there are no conditions in this coun
try grimly calculated to keep the
poor down. And another thing must
be admitted: Every poor man who
has become well-to-do has been rea
sonably industrious and temperate.
and reasonably fair and polite; not
a single one has been actually shift
less. We have a tremendous num
ber of men who are successful in a
greater or less degree, and few of
them are particularly brilliant; in
deed, most of them are dull. I saw
a statement the other day that cr
all the men now living, not to ex
ceed 300 will be known in the fu
ture as great geniuses. The wonder
is that so many dull men get along so
well. So don't be discouraged if you
are dull; you live among dull peo
ple, and their processes are not be
yond you. There aro only a few es
sentials to remember; Industry, tern
perance, politeness, fairness, and
such helpfulness in community and
world affairs as is reasonably pos
sible. It doesn't pay to be too stingy;
and it doesn't pay to be too liberal.
It doesn't pay to be too mean; and
it doesn't pay to be too good. E. W.
Howe's Monthly.

0NE EVERY MINUTE.
They say there is one born every
minute. C. W. Bryan has filed for
democratic nomination for governor
and he will be the most beautifully
skinned individual in the state when
the votes are counted next August.
Wq have no objections to Mr. Bryan
becoming the governor of this great
state, but we .believe he is utterly
foolish in aspiring for the nomina-
ion at this time. Even in the event
he secures the nomination he will
have a hard row to hoe during the
campaign that will follow. Keith
Neville has made a good governor
and just why any democrat should
ry to dens him a second term is
more than we can understand. We
have always been what is known as
a Bryan Democrat, whatever that
but we are opposed to Mr. Bryan
or any other man trying to keep
Governor Neville from having the
nomination for a second term. St.
Paul Phonograph.
:o:
WHERE ARE THE TRAMPS?
Is there no Josiah Flynt to trace
the effect of all this hostility to
oafing upon the true sons of leisure?
Presumably, the "gay cats" or
tramps who take work when in the
mood, have found fairly regular em
ployment. But docs Schenectady
Jake or Denver Ben still "drill" from
town to town still "batter" for
'punk" and coffee at back doors and
for nickels on street corners, and still
hold "slopping up" parties? Some
states have no anti-loafing laws;
some have laws of limited scope, as
New York; some, as Massachusetts,
arrest all idle men between 18 and
0. New uncertainties have been
added to the "moocher's" old ones re
garding "bulls" and brakemau. There
must also be a greater reluctance on
the part of householders to give food
to vagrants who look healthy and
it was ever a tradition that tramps
are so robust that they never die a
natural death. Flynt, it will be re
membered, startled the country into
incredulity by his estimate of the
number of tramps; he found 300 in
a brief trip from the Hudson to
Buffalo and back. What, one wond
ers, has become of the tramp of war
racked Europe the "railway ditch
upholsterer" of Germany and the
British tramp so akin to our own?

Some people think that money is
the only thing there is in life, and
there are times when the rest of us
almost agree with them.

rain has so settled the dust and clear-
fied the air and it will make a very
pleasant time to the overland jour
ney.
'WORTH WEIGHT
IN GOLD" HE SAYS
HOWARD GAINS 14 POUNDS BY
TAKING TAN LAC LAYS
WALKING CANE ASIDE.
Well. I have actually gained
fourteen pounds in the past six
weeks by taking Tanlac and now
I'm going back home a well man and
go to work just like I used to before
I got sick." This interesting and
remarkable statement was made by
Henry's. Howard. a well-known
farmer and stock raiser of King Hill.
Idaho, while purchasing more of the
medicine in Salt Lake recently.
"I have su tiered from rheumatism
and indigestion for twelve years,"
continued Mr. Howard. "I had got
ten to where I could hardly eat a
thing, because everything went
against me and besides I had no ap
petite. Every joint in me was swol
len with rheumatism, and hurt so I
could hardly bear to be touched. I
was in such a bad fix I couldn't work,
so I decided to come down here and
go to a hospital for treatment.
"When I got here six weeks ago.
I was so crippled up I had to use a
walking stick in order to get along
at all. My daughter, who lives
here, got to begging me to try Tan
lac, but I had tried so many tilings
that did me no good, that I had no
faith in Tanlac either. But she in
sisted, until just to please her, I
decided to try it. The first bottle
made a great change in my feelings.
My rheumatism soon left me, so I
threw my stick aside, and now can
walk as good as anybody.
"And eat, why I just can't get
enough. I believe I feel all of
twenty years younger, and its the
first time in that long time that I
have felt like myself, and I feel like
I could do as much work as I ever
could. Well, tho hospital has had
one less to treat, but I have saved
a good many dollars and have gotten
rid of my troubles, besides, and when
I get home the folks who knew what
a bad fix I was in are going to be
surprised to see such a difference.
Tanlac is worth its weight in gold,
and it has convinced me that there
is at least one medicine that will do
what tKey say it will and I want to
do my. part in letting everybody
know about it."

SIDNEY TYLER OPERATED UPON
From Friday's Dally.
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Harvey return
ed from a stay in Omaha of two or
three days, where they were called
on account of their son-in-law Sid
ney Tyler, being sick at the Uni
versity Hospital, where he has. been
for the past week or ten days, and
where he underwent an operation
yesterday. The X-ray operation
which was taken some days since
showed cancer of the stomach, but
when the incision was made, and an
opening effected the trouble proved
to be gall stones, and one the size
of a hen egg being removed. While
the ordeal was severe tne patient
seemed to stand the rigors well and
came out from under the influence
of the drug, and seems to be resting
fairly well today, though weak.
The Joy of Living.
To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons
that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache
and indigestion. A few doyes of
Chamberlain's Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you a chance to realize the real
joy of living. Try it.
