! is no credit in shifting that respon-
sfbility or in avoiding our part in the
work
In every community the churches
are doing their share more than
their share to preserve what we
have and to carry the banner of
Improvement little farther on :
make conditions constantly better.
Do We all appreciate to what ex-
tent we could help?
If twice as many people were
found in church each Sunday, it
would be easier to carry the load
of church work, and it would be pos
sible to make the church work more
effective.
II some of our people are pulling
the wrong way, are careless of their
duties or Indifferent to local needs
it only proves a deplorable lack of
an understanding of life.
We are our brothers keeper and
we shall give an account for our
attitude toward that which affects
him.
The work is important and each
individual has responsibility for a
personal participation in it.
The leaders of the upward move
ment in this community are anxious
to accomplish the best work possible
they are calling for volunteers to
help-they ask you to assist what
is your answer?

BOY BADLY BITTEN
BY BERNARD DOG

Willis NOyes, the 8 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Noyes, who
was playing with a st. Bernard dog,
belonging to Mr.. MCGUIRE, at the
rear door of the Commercial House,
Wednesday afternoon at $50, WAS
bitten on the left arm just above
the hand. The boy was taken to DIR.
W. G. Merrill's office, where the
wound was dressed and cared for.
The boy bled freely from three cuts
made by the dogs teeth on his right
arm, between his hand and elbow
We understand the boy was pok--
ing with a stick at a bone that the
dog was knawing at. The dog is
a. large ST. Bernard, weighing about
200 pounds, and a perfect pet among
the children of the neighborhoodH He
is not vicious or in anyway inclined
to be ugly The accident happened
due to the fact that the boy was try
ing to get the bone away from the
dog at his feeding hour. Its to be
hoped that the boy will suffer no
had effects from the bite.

ITALYINTO CONFLICT

LONDON, Aug. IL Italy's entry
into the general European war is
momentarily expected. Special dis

is casting covetous eyes on Albania
and her seizure of that country is
expected. The condition in the Alba

troops are unpaid and there is no
money in the treasury.

4TH TERMERS
UNGRATEFUL
Likely to Defeat Whole Ticket
of Normulated at the
Priminaries

Six years ago Republican politics
| in Wood county was in a mix up
similar to the situation this fall
Party leaders at that time foresaw
defeat unless the party ticket was
cleaned up. Republican leaders were
called into conference and it was
decided to put a new ticket into the
field. When the safety of the ticket
was in danger most of the third
termers stepped down and out and
gave way to the candidates who are
now seeking fourth terms. That fall
the Republican ticket was elected
from top to bottom with the excep-
ton of sheriff
That same party that picked out
the present fourth termers when
they were politically unknown and
gave them three terms in office, is
now asking for another new Repub-
ican ticket in order that thep arty
can be successful at the fall election.
Yet these fourth termArs are un--
grateful to the party that made
them, and insist upon a fourth chane
for their offices at the expense of
the party that gave them their polit-
ical birth. What the Republican party
wants in Wood county this fall is a
new ticket to go into teh general
election with in order to insure sue
cess.
1t is 'fduck soup for the fourth
termers to run in the primary, be-
cause, with the aid of the machine
they have built up while in office,
their strongest support is in the
primary. But when it comes to the
general election, the party organ1za-
ton is strained to it's utmost to
keep the party in line and in spite
of all the party can do voters Will
begin splitting tickets. When the
voters of a party begin splitting tick
cts it is apparent to anyone that
the party is in danger. That is ex-
actIy what will happen if the fourth
termers are allowed 20 get by the
primary. Two terms in office are
approved of. Third terms are posi-
Bile with light opposition; fourth
terms arq invariably fatal in face of
rigid opposition.
We have seen the above worked
out in practical operation. We have
seen third termers nipped in the
primary where the voters stood for
the two term rule. On one occasion
we knew as nimble politician as
ever held a county office c1fhe an
effort for a fourth term. He had
such a clever county machine built
up that the devil could not beat
him in the pr .maries; but the Demo
crafts got his goat by two or three
votes in the general election, and
this was in a good safe Republican
county, too.
No, the fourth term candidates are
a. menace to the success of any party
ticket. A party to remain successful
must keep it's ticket clean. That is
why the Republicans cleaned up theil
ticket six years ago, and that is
just why the Republicans generally
favor a house cleaning at the Sep
tember primary. .-Vesper State Cen

Since writing our article on the
St. Bernard dog biting Willis Noyes,
we have learned through Mrs. Noyes
that her boys say he was neither
playing nor teasing the dog with a
stick while he was knawing at a
bone. The boy says he had just
brought in an arnful of wood into
the Commercial House kitchen and
had started out on the run to do an
other errand for Miss Maud Mulroy,
when the dog jumped upon him,
knocked him down and bit him on
the arm as published. The boy also
bears scratches on his breast where
the dogs feet were on his person
when biting him.
This being true, it would Indicate
the dog was vicious. The dog ought
to be muzzled or shot. It's danger
Gus for anyone to keep a dog that is
ugly enough to bite. Especially IN
the month Of August dogs are more
likely to be treacherous than any 9th
er time. The city authorities ought to
order every dog shot that bites
person without any provocation.

GERMAN DEAD 1000.
It is officially announced here that
the German loss to date in the Bel

FOOD FROM CORN MEAL

In these days of steam heated
flats, automobiles, and predigested
breakfast foods, people prepare their

petite for corn, in one form or an
other, may still appeal as part of
the inheritance from the Days When
the Country Was New" Corn muf-
fins, corn bread, succotash, escal-
IOped corn, or even corn soup, will
probably appeal to the person whose
father or grandfather lived along
country by-ways in the Golden Age

son and roasting ears" quilting
bees and logrollings.
