U. S. Flag Oldest.

The European war has led to much
study OF the history of other nations
and there is room for emphasis as to
the history of the United States An
important thing for Americans to bear
in mind is that they have one of the
oldest flags on earth. Since the
American flag was adopted in 1777
there have been no changes in it that
affect its general appearance. and
since 1918. when the thirteen stripes
were made permanent, the only alter
atoms have been due TO the addition
of a new star in the blue Union" as
each new state was admitted. The
American flag is older than that OF
the British empire, and older than
the flags of Germany, France, Italy,
Sweden, Portugal, Spain, China and
Japan. Moreover, it is not amiss tc
remew Der that the American flag has
never known defeat in war.

Too Close to Accident for Comfort.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Williams of this
city, Mr.. Baxter of Willow Springs,
nephew of Williams. and Mr.. Kelly
of Linden drove in Mr.. Kelly's car
to Madison Sunday. On the re-
turn trip they were a mile or more
east OF the C. N. and w. depot when
one of the front wheels got into rut
and in turning it out Mr.. Kelly lost
control of the car when it shot across
the road and turned turtle throwing
the occupants out with considerable
force. Mr.. Baxter suffered the break
ing of two ribs. Onr townsman, Mr..
Williams, lost few teeth and was
sratched about the face some what.
The other occupants of the car got off
with few minor bruises. The car
was smashed up some but not very
badly. 1t was lucky that nothing
more serious happened = Dodgeville

OPPORTUNITY.

First Mortgage Gold Bonds, secured
by improved farms, are superior in
many respects and much more desira-
bic as an investment, than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes,
political eccentricities or stock market
manipulations. They do not fiuctuate.
For safety, stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few equals and no su-
periors.
For the benefit of those of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-
ations Of $4,000. netting go interest.
No expense in collecting interest or
principal.
This puts all classes of investors on a
level and is certainly the small inves-
tors opportunity.

to $4,000, on improved farms see or

present making this year would unques-
tionably have far reaching disastrous
effects. 1t would mean to manufactur-
ers and jobbers heavy unsold stocks !;
to retailers it would mean shrinkage of
trade and disappearance Of profits; to
the transportation interests it would
mean the loss of regular annual bust
ness; to the wage workers it would
mean widespread lack Of employment.
With many out of work in this city at
present it is pitiful to think Of the
eagerness with which some thousands
Of men and women must look forward
to the Christmas furry as hope for
earning few days pay. How much
more pitiful would it be if this hope
we're defeated. Wise givers will nat
urally adapt their Christmas remem-
brances in this troubled year TO the
prevailing temper.
The Louisville Times chimes in with
the closing sentiment by observing
THAT to make an empty stocking our
answer to the call Of the season of
brotherly love is to libel humanity and
question Providence. Another paper
follows up by declaring "thao this
is well put, but yet there is need for
many people to guard themselves
against enthusiastic folly in the pur-
chase Of gifts. At Christmas time az
we'll as at other seasons Of the year
there is inexorable punishment for i'm

Remember the Horses.

When it's cold, it's cold for every
body. That is something that the
driver who allows his horse to stand
unblanketed in the cold for an hour or
two or more seems to forget We
don't know anything that provokes
more contempt from real men than
cruelty to animals OF course, there S
a lack of sense to begin with in not
taking care Of a horse, for it is val
liable property. But there is also a
peculiar meanness in mistreating an
animal. which has no way Of complain
ing, no chance of relief. Some men
are unexpectedly detained in loading
or unloading and seek warm interior
for an hour or longer. These men
need to remember that in very cold
weather, a half hour is too long for
horse that has been working to stand
unblanketed A friendly word Of
warning from passersby or the police
might be good for some drivers: for
some we can think Of nothing effective
short of very real application of
physical chastisement Elk,

The chill Of today clears the mind
and energies the body, making US men

could perform, wrenching it nightly

end that il may bring forth fruit il

snow moisture Of our winters.

comment on the result of the Siegel
trial at Geneseo, New York, may be
judged by the following from the New

"When jails and penitentiaries are
crowded with prisoners sent there for
trifling offenses against society, and a
private banker is released on sus-
pended sentence for looting the savings
of fifteen thousand depositors, we are
thankful that Juctice is blind. Other

TODAY, the part which the home
plays in moulding character has SO
greatly shrunk that the nation can no
longer safely ignore the facts and the
situation, said Carroll G. Pearse,
president of the Milwaukee normal
school, speaking on "How Can We
Make the School Meet the Need Of
Life" at a session of the Wisconsin
state teachers association, 1t is true
today as never before, that what we
would see in the life of the nation, we
must first put into the nations schools.
The foundations Of good character
honesty, self-control industry, neigh
borliness, sense Of duty to the state,
these should be laid in the home and
strengthened by the church. But the
school must be ready to take hold at
the point where these elder educational

Vickers and Deputy Sheriff James Boil
ton that the whole thing was false and
that she told the story to keep her
husband Mt home at night
In her confession she said her huS.
band was i'll the habit of leaving homo
every night after supper and not re
turning until late. SO she killed
chicken and Smeared the blood on the
floor of the dining room and on the
outside of the house to give him the
impression that she had been attacked
When the husband returned home
about midnight on the night of the nj
legged assault his wife pretended to be
in terribly nervous condition and
stated that she had been attacked by
negro. She showed her husband the
carving knife and the blood stains on
the floor and around the premises. and
he notified the state attorney and the
sheriff. who Immediately began n
