Savina: Stop the U-boat warfare. And let my ships go through; If you do not do it, Kaiser dear, said he. Remember, we will join the French. And win the victory. Chorus: !t takes a long time to hip the Kaiser It’s a hard thing to do. It takes a long time to whip the Kaiser. And the Allies know it too. Good-by German Army! Farewell Austria, too. When anybody whips the Kaiser, It will be the red, white and blue. He did not heed the message Given by Uncle Sam, And did not stop the air -ships. N'or check the submarines; We gave him timely warning.. And tried to make it plain. That we must be respected Upon the busy mainetaoinoi aucov Upon the Busy Main. Chorus: Pershing’s now in France land With a legion strong and true. Saying to the Kai v And his German Army, too, If you think you're the whole push In this wide world below, Uemember we- will show you What Uncle Sam can do. Chorus: By Aquilla J. Shaffer. If we pass a foolish law against the railroads or any other corporation, firm or individual we, the people, in varialtly have to pay the added cost ourselves. Of course it annoys the railroads and every one else, bjt the real cost of the food law comes event ually back to the ordinary taxpayer. In retaliation and self defense the railroads, when able to do so. get laws passed in their favor, and again we. the people, pay for that. So, for every fool law our politics-loving re presentatives pass we have to pay at least twice. Honesty in law making as everywhere else is the best policy. - -Ord Journal One Oliver typewriter for sale cheap at the Loup City Mercantile Company. 35-2 What To Do When Piles Come On Many people find quick re lief in (irand I-land.

Profit by the experience of Mrs. Viola Odendahl, proprietor of the Frederick Hotel. She says: "I think Doan’s Kidney Fiiis are well worthy of praise. I used them only on two occasions and they brought the best results. I used to be troubled by my kidneys and at times my feet and ankles swelled. I also had occasional attacks of back ache I used Doan’s Kidlney Pills, which I got at Swanson's Drug Store, and I had no need of a kidney medi cine of late. . Price 60c at all dealers.

Busby’s minstrels certainly rftade a hit with the Kiamath Falls people last night. The big tent was packed and "the best ever” was the general ver dict of all. Every member of Busby's minstrels proved to be an artist Their songs were the original old negro songs of the south as well as the very latest and best on the vaudeville stage of to day. Egie Moore’s singing was typical of the old time southern colored girl, while the performance was the best minstrel work ever seen in this city. The cake walking and dancing was ex cellent. In fact the entire show was I not only good, but clean from start to finish, there not being anything smacked of rowdyism or what could be called out of place by the most criti cal audience.—Klamath News. At Loup City, Saturday, Sept. 1 AN INSTRUMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENSE With the passage of the pending Food Production bill Congress official ly recognizes a new instrument of na tional defense—the county agent Under the provisions of this act i $115,000 has been set aside for county agent work in Nebraska. This will be sufficient to put a county agent in ev ery country organizing and to provide a food emergency agency for districts where regular county agents are not employed. County agents and food em ergency agents will be put to work or ganizing and mobilizing agricultural Nebraska for maximum production. The county agent is thus regarded by the nation’s highest counselors as the best instrument of increasing produc tion as a defensive measure. The Agri cultural Extension Service of the Uni versity of Nebraska has mapped out plans for the extension of county agent work in conformity with the new law and is ready to proceed with the pro gram as soon as the bill is signed by the president and the emergency funds are released. Agents will be placed In coimties as they are ready to receive them. GET READY. Now is the time that your hens will moult or shed their feathers. This pro cess is rather slow and Nature should be assisted. B. A. Thomas’ Poultry Remedy will help your hens to moult causing them to shed earlier and be ready to lay when eggs are highest in the winter. If this remedy does not make good, we will.—J. J. Slominski.
