BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR LN ADVANCE Few men are as brave as their con victions. :o: Some oil stock is of few days aud full of trouble. -:o: Defective hammocks have caused many fond lovers to fall out. :o: Between the katydids and the phonagraph next door, which do you prefer? o:o The coward who hides behind a woman's skirts nowadays surely will have to be a midget. -:o:- It won't nelp much to liave ships carrying the American flag if they have nothing else to carry. -:o:- The best thing about the month of Feburary is that it is short. August hasn't even that recommendation. -:o:- Sorae women consider their time so valuable that they can't afford to spend any of it out of pleasure seek ing pursuits. :o: Illnois' neighbors see a lot of soiled linen on the public clothes line from day to day, and. it's always easily re cognized as Bill Thompson's -:o:- A Toledo man lost his wife in a poker game, and one wonders how much the winner finally came out loser when the game ended. -:o:- "Banker's Cellar Stripped of Liquor Supply." That ought to make his de positors feel nervous, for there is nothing to keep him at home now. :o: As a general thing, it take a mighty tall building or an approach ing thunderstorm to cause the aver age man to lift his vision above the ekirt line. -:o: The trouble with that 300-mile .gun is -thai, it shoots too far, and not far enough. All our enemies are either closer than three hundred miles, or further. "Lenine is the greatest man I ever met" and "Trotzky is a statesman," indicate that if Senator France were a judge in a draft horse ring h? would jump the railing to pin the blue ribbon upon a broncho. :o: Oh. pshaw, what is the matter with our ciders? They are always com menting on our girls rutting on th'.-war-paint, this is America. And the Indians used the war-paint, feathers, beads, fringe, furs, and short skirts. o:o William Dean Howwells once said that a man who could not write save when inspired was not likely to ac complish anything in literature. In other words, the man who can write a. furnace advertisment with a punch in August is the sort of a man to grind out the problem of the year every year. "It don't take a man long to bag his pants at the knees, and to make a finely tailored suit look thoroughly disrepu table that's the man cf It," avers Dainty Dorthy. But she goes on to explain that the man who is making use of our cleaning, steaming and pressing services is keep ing his clothes in much more presentable condition than when he got acquainted with us. And it doesn't cost much, either.

It's all right for a man to speak right out in a meeting, provided he knows when to stop. :o: Every singer in a quartette can point out three good reasons why the organization isn't perfect. :o: It is reported that they are now wearing bathing suits of paper. Sub scribe now. The water's fine. :o: Really believing that the high price of soes is due to lack of leather, the fat man should be forbidden to wear belts. -:o: Afert making a big bluff Governor Len Small of Illnois finally surrend ered to the sheriff like a good little man. :o: Those consumers who are protest ing against the removal of the excess profits tax do not seem to have any very correct ideas as to who pays that tax.

What they need is a little horse sense. :o:- Half the world has enough to eat, says a press dispatch. And the other half eats too much. :o: The only real photographer in this world i3 the man who is able to brag about his income tax. :o:- Ex-Kaiser William is so poor he's obliged to turn down all requests for gifts to charity. It's doubly hard on him because it always did hurt him to with hold charity from his fellow-men. When a Chicago man found six aces in a poker deck he promptly stabbed the dealer. While six aces in a deck is far from proper, still it is not according to Hoyle to make it an excuse for murder. o:o Now it is denied that the abscond ing Chicago banker with his full grip of money has bee:', arrested in Mexico and is being brought back. Somehow, it didn't sern like the Mexicans to surrender a man like that. :o: The Farrar-Tellengen mess is mere ly another reflection of the present industrial situation. The same thing is going on in a thousand plants. First, Tellengen went out on strike. When be returned, he found Farrar had locked him out. :o: The typical chorus girl of today is much smaller than she was a few year:-; ago, but they say sTie flings just as mean a glance down the menu card after the show as the big girl used to moro f-o, in fact the big girl was always trying to reduce. o:o The administration seems to have abandoned the idea of an extra fed eral tax on motor cars, and once more th& fellow who races his Ford engine under your bedroom window at midnight and again at 6:30 in the morning goes unpunished. - :o: r A funny paragraph in thq New York Tribune pokes fun at a1 pro gram printer for crediting fhej '"The Strauss waltz, 'Jolly Fellow,' to .Volstead." The funny part of thfc par : agraph really is that Strauss ilidn't write "Jolly Fellows," and that' Vol- ! stead did. o:o Illnois can now demobilizo with ' safety. Governors of neighboring states will not find it necessary to issue proclamations of neutraity. The armistice is on, and with ordin arygood luck Illnois can rest the further proceedings in the case to the courts. - :o: President Harding, Senator Lodge and Senator Curtis decided at a White House luncheon, a Washington dis patch says, that Congress can take a vacation August 20. if it has finished up the work laid out for it by that date. That seems to be the usual way i that Congress arrives at its decisions. -:o:- A Brooklyn thief stole the shoes off a baby's feet. That's carrying in fant industry too far. o:o Some day, perhaps, civilization will learn that it is much easier .to in form men than to reform them. -:o:- California is to have four new con gressmen. Still that Js not likely to reduce the number of starving movie actors. :o: It is a mistake for an employer to go the theory that he is the only part of the public his clerks have to be polite to. :o: "Bobbed, hair has come to stay," says one of the fashion magazines. It also seems that stays have come to be bobbed. :o: Uncle Sam. to the contrary notwith standing, paying taxes is not a fav orite indoor sport with the Ameri can people. :o: Another reduction in the price cf diamonds is forecasted. However, that will not relieve the unemploy ment problem. :o: Every once in a while another ex pedition starts out for the North Pole to find out what the last expe dition didn't discover. :o:- As long as they dress their hair the way they do, women will make very poor politicians; they can't get their ears to the ground. :o: The public, says Viscount Bryce. is in the hands of its leaders, which is all the more reason for its leaders to keep themselves in hand. :o7 Sometimes we wonder whether al' of Solomon's wives had bathing suits, or whether some of them had to stav out while the others went in. :o: You may yearn for a trip to the Canadian mountains, a summer at Newport, a chateau in the Alps, a new high-priced motor car, or a sun burst of platinum and diamonds, but as for us a full-grown dish of chicken pie is eminently satisfying.

Says one official, E. C. B. Jenkins, secretary to the Chicago board of police commissioners: "Their distorted imagination vis ualizes scenes which they would have coma true, and their insane mind immediately grasps the story and they repeat it as if it were true." This last statement undoubtedly describes correctly, if somewhat ov- erconsciously, the mechanism by which gossip is set in motion. And, undoubtedly to gossip outrageously is in many cases a symptom of brain disease. Mattoidism Is the name which long ago was given to this particular mental malady. Yet, in all fairness .to gossips, it must be said that after all, one may gossip extraordinarily, without ac tually being a victim of mattoidism. In fact, what a tendency to gossip usually shows is nothing more seri ous than a neurotic inability or un willingness to face unpleasant facts as regards one's self. If circumstances do away with the facts, then the tendency to gossip may itself die away. If, however, the unpleasant facts persist, so that gos siping is likely to persist, and may gradually involve a transition from mero neuroticism to out right insan ity. Though, at any time before this transition is quite accomplished, pos sibilities of self cure are available to the gossip, provided only that en lightenment be gained as to the true cause of the gossiping. The gossip must recognize, more specifically, that the people she gos sips about are, or seem to him, more advantageously conditioned in life than he. They are perhaps wealth ier, perhaps healthier, perhaps bet ter situated socially, perhaps better educated or perhaps happier. At all events, for one reason or another they give him a galling sense of in feriority. It would be comfortable to be of this feeling. One way to be rid of it is first, to wish the envied ones would behave in a fashion stamping them with inferiority themselves. From the wish that .they would be have in an inferior way is but a step to the belief that they do thus behave. Gossip about them promptly fol lows, if from no other motive than to persuade the world of .the gossip's intrinsic superiority to those she gossips about. Though there is al ways the further and more urgent motive of helping the gossip herself to feel superior. The cure, manifestly, is first of all some exceedingly frank self stu dy on the gossip's part, as a prelim inary to approaching the personal shortcomings that need to be over come. At once should follow effort to overcome them. When they are overcome as they usually can be the desire for self protection through gossip will be longer felt, and consequently the dangerous luxury of gossip will no longer be indulged in. : :o: For croup or tore throat, use Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

Nor is it reasonable to think that all preparations that had assumed the name "bitter wine" are equal to Triner's Bitter Wine. This remedy is without equal. Triner's Bitter Wine has been tried and found ' true for the past 32 years. Its pop ularity has reached all corners of the country and rightly so.
