A WORKING WOMAN.

For fifty years straight running Mrs.
Bailey has done the washing in one
family at Atchison, Kas.
More years than most OF US have
lived. Years that have seen the spread
OF railway trains, automobiles, trolley
cars. gas and electric lights. treniend-
GUS trusts; years that have marked the
rise Of great cities, the crumbling Of
thrones, the uprising Of women; years
that have seen science fight a battle
with theology and recast creeds; years
in which much of the worlds work has
been taken out of small workshops and
massed in giant foctories-eventful
portentious, revolutionary years. every
minute in which has seen some big
thing doing.
Yet every Monday morning, winter
or summer, rain or shine. Mrs. Bal
ley, faithful worker Of cleanliness. has
gone patiently to her washtub ana
done a task from which most women
shrink.
There is no medal of honor, no
statue, no old -age pension for her.
Perhaps nobody ever thought to go
to her at the end OF day az. weary
and worn. she made ready to return
to her humble home, and speak the
word OF praise which, better than
her paltry wage. would cheer her on
her way.

Sweet Old Summer Apples.

Their waxen cheeks are golden as they
mellow in the sun,
And all around the orchards how the
bees are havin' fun.
The sweet old summer apples,
With their mellow mealy taste.
In the happy heart of Summer
With its sons oand blossom
Sraced!
There's such lovely altar from the
orchards as you pass,
And the ripened fruit is thudding from
the trees upon the grass;
The sweet old summer apples.
With their shiny skins of gold.
In the dreamy heart of summer
When the dreams are growing old.
The heart of youth is happy when the
summer apples fall,
And the Bob Whites from their coverts
in the brambled hedges call;
The sweet cid summer apples
When the silk is on the corn
And the dew has kissed the garden
In the heart of summer morn:

SO it would be a good plan to watch
this convulsive calamity from this side
of the Atlantic with as open minds as
may be. And this advice extends to
foreign born and foreign descended citi-

occasion TO import the war in the east

1t will be necessary for those whose

another of the embattIed nations to
exercise wise restraint either in the
victory or defeat of their own people.
We are neighbors here, citizens o a
common country, men and women of a
new race, all Americans.

"1he Watch on tho Rhine"


THE Watch on the Rhine" was writ
ten by Max Schneckenburger. a Wur-
temberg manufacturer, in 1870, when
France was threatening the left bank OF
the Rhine. 1t was set to music by Carl
and during the Granco- Prus-
sian war OF 1901 was adopted as the
national folk hymn and rallying cry OF
the army.
A voice resounds like Handicapped,
Mid dashing waves and clang OF steel:
1.-THE Rhine, the Rhine, the German
Rhine!
Who guards today my stream divine?'
Chorus.
Dear Fatherland. no danger thine;
Firm stand thy sons to watch the
Rhine!
They sand. I hundred thousand strong.
Quick to avenge their country's wrong:
With fliaI love their bosoms swell,
They'll guard the sacred landmark
we'll!
The dead of heroic race
From heaven look down and meet their
They swear with daunt!ess heart, &C
Rhine.
Be German as this breast of mine!"
While flows one drop Of German blood
Or sword remains to guard thy Hood.
While rifle rests in patriot hand
No foe shall tread thy sacred strand!
Our oath resounds. the river flows,
In golden light our banner glows;
Our hearts will guard thy stream d.

The Rhine, the Rhine, the German
Rhine!

FIRE PROTECTION OR SPORT?
Huntington Hawkeye.1

Belle PLANE sent almost her entire
fire department to the state fremen's
tournamnt at Maquoketa. During the
absence of the fremen the largest no.
tel in the town burned down. There
were only seven members of the de-
partment left behind. They had the
assistance of many volunteer workers,
and succeeded in preventing a generas
conf!aeration. The fremen console
themselves with the belief that If they
had all been on the ground they could
have done little better. But just at
present 1t does not seem likely that
Belle PLANE will be very well repre-
sented at the next state meet How
ever that lies far in the future, and
by the time it comes around public
opinion may have undergone another
change. and the fact will be empha-
sized that the firemen ought to have
one little vacation during the long
year, when they are practically on
duty all the time.

FREEMEN. ARISE

The Hamilton For Governor p,,b-
licity bureau is filed with a sense Of
otrage and proclaims in capitals over
Its latest circular letter The People
Are Robbed" 1t appears that in Adams
county, where the publicity bureau
has been presumably seeking thru the
records the Iowa Telephone Com
pany's taxes were raised last year s2.15
over the taxes paid by that company
IN 1872. The taxes paid by the Iowa
Telephone Company in 1912 in Adams
county amounted to the sum of $1,000.
The Iowa Telephone Company no
DOUBT owns lines and offices and the
like over Adams as il does other coun-
ties in the state for the aforesaid COM
pany is about the only distance lines
the telephoning population of the state
can get anywhere over. This tax of
sl0.03 was boosted in outrageous in
crease to s12.2s cents in 1918. The
hamilton For Governor publicity
bureau does not state whether the
company had builded any new lines or
purchased any more offices. 1t simply
calls the attention Of the voters to the
fact that this cruel and inhunan raise
OF s2.l5 was made and this struggling
company thus robbed" of the price OF
200 or 300 miles of it's globe encircling
wires.
The Hamilton For Governor" bu-
reau cries out against such inhumanity.
1t yells "robber." The inference forces
itself Mr. Hamilton, if governor would
remove that tyrannous levy from the
bowed shoulders Of the Iowa Telephone
Company. Stirred by the Outrage he
might even pay back out Of his own
pocket the $2.15 thus robbed" and
pirated from the Golfers Of the Iowa
Telephone company.

THE CONSPIRACY FEATURE.

webster lily ETeSindu- lTIDuIS.J
The best reason for repeating the
non partisan judiciary fiasco is to over
throw q system that leads to conspir-
acy. At the very first trial Of the So
called non-partisan election of judges
Of the supreme court the state Is wit
Messing an effort on the part Of lead
ing democrats to land democrat on
the supreme bench and that. too, in
direct reputation of the principle
which the new law was calculated to
foster. The situation Is so peculiar
that the conspiracy is very liable to
succeed There are to be three judges
elected and there are six nominees
five republicans and one democrat. or
course each one of the five republicans
has his friends and supporters and the
result will be that the republican vote
will be distributed among those Ave.
According to the understanding Of the
democratic conspirators every demo-
crat in the state Ia to be urged to vote
for Seth Thomas, and for no one else,
simply because Mr.. Thomas is a demo-
crat. That is really the only claim
he has upon the office. He has had
but four years experience at the bar
and were it not for his politics he would
stand no more chance OF election to
the position Of judge than Bob Inger-
soil stood Of being chosen presiding ell
der Of the Methodist church.

NO MORE SUBSCRIBING.

1t begins to look as II the prohibition
question is to be a vital issue in the
campaign of 1915. A prohibition wave
is sweeping the country. and it will
make Itself felt in the convention OF
two years hence. Can you imagine the
CONSERVATION of republican and dem
ocratic leaders alike when confronted
with the possibility OF such situation:
1t would be worse than the plight of
the republican party in 1896, when II
nearly went on the rocks over the sill
yer question. The bravest hearts in
the national convention of that year
quaked whenever the gold standard
was mentioned. Imagine, then, If you
can, what the condition would be If in
1915 determined minority insisted up
on an Endorsement of prohibition in the
platform and appeared to be backed
by public sentiment. The thought is
sickening
