Trouble With the Evea-

Sometimes tiny hairs become loos-
ened and get beneath the eyelids. Be-
lining the upper and lower lids, fill
the wash bowl with cold water and
open the eyes under water. Open and
shut them several times, and in near
ly every instance this will wash out
the bothersome hair. 1t will at least
loosen such a hair so that it may be
easily removed by the cOtton-tipped
to0thpick.

Floating Baths CONDEMNED.

Floating baths near great cities arc
now condemned by sanitary authori-
ties. The vast quantities of sewage
that are discharged into the waters
that usually border such cities are
thought to be productive of disease to
bathers, and certainly render their
additions of doubtful value as a clean
sing agency.

How The Knocker Came

Some editor, whose name IS not known, analyses two well known classes of citizens as follows: When the Creator had made all the good and beautiful things, in order that they might be truly appreciated, He then made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects. When He had finished, He left over scraps that were too bad to put in the rattlesnake, the hyena, the scorpion, or the skunk, so He placed all together. covered it with suspicion, wrap ped it with jealousy, marked it a knocker. Then. as a compen- sation for this fearful product. He took a sunbeam and put in it the heart of a child, the love of a mother. the brain of a man. wrapped these in civic pride, covered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel and called it a booster. He made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports; a believer in equality and justice. Ever since these two were created, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates.

Doors Closed To The White House
 President Wilson has practical ly become a hermit these days, since he has denied himself to all visitors. For three weeks he will give his entire attention to a study of intricate problems connected with the European War. This is the first time Tn the memory of the oldest. Washingtonian when the Presi- dent has entirely excluded the public. Of course this is the first time there has been so big a war, and as the United States has been involved in many ways, the President has deter mlned that he will take personal charge of the situation.

The NeDs A Local Paper

IAC ANCSOS n A@OS~AN ANCf
 We have never thought it to be good policy in editors of week " newspapers published in small communities to attempt to cover the fields of national and general state news. The facilities for gathering such news are not often within the reach of local papers; besides practically every reader of the small weekly is a reader of some daily or other metro politan paper, and reads the local weekly primarily for the local news.
 Therefore. because it is impos- sible for the News to cover the field of the worlds news, and because we deem it beyond the province of the paper to attempt to do so, we shall devote our efforts to the local news field al- most exclusively. Everything that happens in county and town, worthy of publication, and which is of interest to the read CTS of the paper, will find space in the columns of the paper. so far as it IS within our power to obtain an account of it.
 The News. further, will be published as a non-partisan and non-sectarian paper.
 The direct primary law has to a great extent eradicated polit- ical party lines, and newspapers throughout the country are lay, ing aside their old political bias. and are assisting in the election to office of men and women who are well qualified, regardless of political party affiliations.
 The News will ever be found in this class of journals. and while the right is reserved to cast it's influence with whatever party or candidates it's editor may deem most worthy of SUD- port in any contest, the paper will be published as a non-part- isan, local news. newspaper.
 The News will be published as a non-sectarian paper, because it's editor believes that there is great good in every religious or ganization. While he is not a churchman himself, he is friend ly to all churches and will ever be found ready and willing to help in building up church organiza- tions of all denominations. The columns of the paper are open for the publication, free of charge, of all church and church society announcements. Space will be available in the columns of the News for all accounts of religious meetings held at any point in the county, and all com munications sent the paper either by letter or telephone will have careful attention.
 Pursuant to our policy to cover the county thoroughly, we are now endeavoring to secure a cor respondent in every school dis trict in the county. With a weekly newsletter from such correspondents, and with the cooperation of our readers in town we hope to eventually make the News a paper worthy the support of every resident of Navajo County.
