1--WE must have" said Mrs. Chant,
"peace in our schools, peace in our
newspapers, peace in our pulpits ana
peace in our legislature : we want to
turn our barracks into technical
schools; we want the Spirit of Christ,
instead of the war spirit, which knows
nothing about sorrow or sadness or
broken hearts; and that is why we ask
YOU to Join us in casting out the war

watchword is, "Peace on earth, good

"The poisoning of water or food is a
mode of warfare absolutely forbidden
but the turning off the supply by stop
ming convoys Of food to the enemy is
one of the usual methods of reducing

revolts at the idea of poisoning food or
water, but to starve an enemy or mad.

of reducing him tosubmission. When

How seldom do we look upon duty
as an unpaid debt Duty is some-
thing that we ought to do. Primari-

than the past tense of "owe." SO, If
our words mean anything, they mean
that we ought, we owe. Many a one
lightly admits that he ought to do q
thing, when he would be disturbed to
find himself debtor complacently
viewing his unpaid creditors. We
think too often of duty as something
affecting only ourselves. The praise
of its doing, the blame of it's not do
ing, are ours-and there we rest it as
oW9' business. .
But, viewed in the light OF
a debt,-of that which We ought Tor
owe), its neglect is the defrauding OF
another, or others, of just claim.
And no one is so likely to be defraud.

. That we will have an average wheat crop
and good quality this year in Henry county
seems to be no longer disputed; that the harv-
est will be as early if not earlier is also
fact. Already the prudent farmer is looking
up his machinery and is putting it in repair
ready for use. A little paint on your ma
chimes every year will cost you butvery little
it will not only make your machinery looh
a great deal better but 1t will make it last
SO much longer that it will pay more than ten
times your trouble and expense. and in doing
so. Then. too, if you will get some of Saul

they have large stock of all the best kinds

AJolly Good Time,

Last Tuesday evening is one that will long
be remembered by the many friends Of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Snowman, their 21st marriage
anniversary. While it was an agreeable sur
prise to them, it was nevertheless appreciated
when Unexpectedly about one hundred Napo-
leonites and neighbors from the surrounding
country, dropped in on them to tender their
congratulations and have a rousing good
time generally.
The manner in which it was planned: Miss
Florence Ford their adopted daughter, was to
celebrate her Goth birthday and every prepar-
alton was made by Mr.. and Mrs. Snowman to
make It pleasant for the young people, and
when the carriages began to arrive contain
ing the old as well az the young, you can i'm.
imagine their surprise when in addition to the
younR people there was added number Of
their own kind. Every arrangement had been
made by the secret worker, Miss Ford, and
while the old people took possession of the
large and elegantly furnished residence, the
young people repaired to the large and well
ventilated barn, and there cut the pigeon
wing after the music Of the organ, which had
been placed there for the occasion. The eve
ming being warm, the beautiful lawn was
simply strewn with tables and chairs occupi.
cd by the lovers Of that fascinating game,
pedro. The presents from the old and young.
we're many and beautiful, and after partakine
of feast that was thought sufficient to last a
fortnight, the immense crowd
began to wend their way homeward,
