If there are any aid bachelors in this j countryside who are unable to annex a wife they should take heart and buck up. There is still hope even for them. Duing the next few years Europe will be almost destitute of suitable material for husbands, and fair damsels will be pining their lives away for the mates ihat never come. Just keep up heart for a time, fellows, and if nothing bet ter turns up you can take that trip abroad and annex a dozen or two. The national campaign is well under way, but because of the universal in terest in the border situation many people are giving the respective can didates scarcely a passing thought. Newspapers are relegating them and the full force of the limelight is fo cused upon Mexico and the troops on our own side of the border It is hard lines for the politicians, but the peo ple, no doubt, will live through the distressing ordeal without loss of sleep or flesh. Those from here who attended the ball game at Rockville last Thursday between the Rockville team and a team of Indians from Genoa were; James Gilbert. Fritz Deschinskv, Chris Johanson. Ernest Rowe. G. W. Colli- | priest, O. Bensehoter. W. J. Thomp- , son. J. H. Burwell, Robert Jenner, L t Spahr, James Depew, I. C. Smith a:ul son, Carl, Albert Johnson, William Dolling. L. H. Currier and son, E. W. Thompson and Carl and Ted Gasteyer, and O. L. Toekey. It is surprising how quickly a per son can lose interest in a subject that has been uppermost in their minds for a year or more. Since the Euopean war commenced it has been the one great topic of conversation and spec ulation the world over. Now, so far as we of the United States are con cerned , it is a back number, shoved off the map, practically forgotten. Our j own little clothes line ffair with Mexi- ' co is the all absorbing object before the public eye and in the public mind, and just at this time a sick mule on the border is of more importance to us than the outcome of any of the in numerable clashes acoss the water. Patriotism should and does begin at home. — Patriotism is in the air these days, and it extends from one end of the country to the other, and embraces all classes of citizens from the million aire to the pauper. That is patriotism to one's flag and country. But there is still another kind of patriotism that is of quite as great importance but is not so generally observed. That Is | patriotism to the home town, to the schools, the churches, the lodges, the business men. in fact, to everything that pertains to the home life. The more prosperous the home communi ties of the country, the greater is the power of the country as a single unit. The man who exerts his influence in behalf of his home town uses as great a brand of patriotism as the one who mounts a platform and starts the eagle I to screaming. As a matter of fact, there is no comparison between the two. for in nine cases out of ten ac tions speak louder than words. Pat riotism to country is commendable, but that to both home and country is even better. Some two thousand years ago there was born at Nazareth, He whose teachings have enlightened the world. The events of Jesus’ life, from the manger to the ascension, make the' most stirring story of all times to all the races of mankind. The Pathe Com pany. to fill a long-felt want, organized a company of the best actors and pro duced “The Life of Our Savior,” an accurate, superbly acted, dramatic visualization of Jesus’ journey on earth. The compilation of this chron ology of Jesus is truly an achievement worthy of the highest praise as it truthfully and geographically por trays with grace and dignity His suf ferings and final achievement. This work represents a lifetime of careful study and an immense financial out lay, and because of its tremendous subject is the world’s greatest drama. The /picture is colored and exquisitely arranged so as to bring to the vision a graphic realization of the infinite simplicity, yet monumental strength of Jesus.
