was a true citizen in every sense, and
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He was progressive as we'll as
energetic, and always strove s5or high

natural that we. as human beings, ov-

qualities of our friends while they are

minder and we stop and look back
down the road OF time and see where
our friends life has not been spent in
vain, and realize that we may profit
by his noble example. Truly a man
of many virtues has departed from us I!

On the South End local,
It's hard times,

And joined the race,
Headed the engine
In the very wrong place.

And there you'll turn,

They don't give a dern.
Go to Shellmound

They don't care
If you never get back.
They'll tell you to be careful,
Don't get in the ditch,
You've got to do switching
At Ladd's Switch.
You go to Vulcan,
The section men are there,
To see if their provisions
Are divided fair.
They tell you to run
And hit the ball.
You got to get two cars
At Sloped Wall.
Pass Whiteside
And look out the window
To see if you can find
A carload of cinder.
They will always
Tell You in time,
To get two cars
At Etna Mine.
And they will tell you
They wished if they could,
To stop at Hooker
And get car of wood.
They'll tell you the engine

there has been no decisive gain on either side and
that no one can hazard guess as to when it will
all end. 1t is apparent now, as pointed out by
Premier Asquith few days ago, that the contest
is one of endurance. 1t is q hideous fact, hard
ly of the understanding which calls for advance
ment made by civilization in this enlightened age
that the great nations must continue locked in
struggle to the death until one side or the other
finally succumbs through sheer inability to fight
longer.
What good has been accomplished by the
war? None. What destruction and misery has
it entailed? The human mind cannot grasp the
immensely of the undertaking which call for
the supreme efforts of powerful governments
of the big nations of the world. Neither can we
appreciate the horror and havoc caused. We
know that it is terrible, cruel beyond our ability
to recognize, but the most significant fact is that
the slaughter is all so wickedly foolish.
The war to date has been a draw, and no
human being can give an opinion of who will win
that is not mere guess The nearest approach
is the conclusion that it will continue to be
draw-that the fighting will go on until all sides
are exhausted. For several months after hos
tilties began, and until quite recently, an un-
prejudiced observer believed that Germany and
Austria must ultimately be brought to their
knees. That outcome now seems far less likely.
On the other hand, it is not likely that the allies
will be completely whipped. Germany is ahead
at most every point on land and her submarine
activities have ceased to be a joke. But her lead
at the front is offset by the loss of practically her
entire colonial possessions, and the driving OF
her commerce from the sea- The chances that
the allies would win seemed to rest on the prob
ability that she would be starved into submss-
ion But that probability now seems less likely
than at the beginning.

Some Government News.

Among many of the activities of the various
departments of the Federal government at
Washington there are vast quantities OF various
sorts Of printed and typewriter documents is
sued for distribution to the people, copious guam
titles of which find their way to the desks OF
newspaper editors throughout the country
and also find their way good deal more prompt
ly and with equal regularity into the waste paper
baskets.
OF course, everything of this sort which
is written and printed is not utterly foolish
Theoretically it is for the ediication and conven-
ience and general welfare of the people who
must ultimately pay the cost, while practically
it keeps many clerk out Of mischief prevents
cogging of the cells of gray matter in the brains
of few subordinate officials, and prevents type
writer's from becoming rusty.
The foregoing observations are prompted
by glance at printed document issued regul-
arly by the department of agriculture called the
"weeky news letter." in which the leading ar
tcle in one Just received deals with the char
vester thresher' or Combine" The people OF
this section of the country can judge for them
selves of the value and timeliness of this article
from the following which we quote without fur
ther comment:
''To a large extent on the Pacific coast and
in some localities of the plains region, wheat is
harvested by means of the combined header and
thresher, which is almost universally called by
farmers the combine. Until recently these
machines were quite large, requiring 26 to 81
horses to draw them, or an engine with equiva-
lent power For the most part, they have been
drawn by horses for two reasons: First, an EN-
CINE in ripe grain field gives rise to danger
from fire; second, on much of the best wheat
land, especially in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, the topography is so rough as to render it
impracticable to use tractor in harvesting
wheat.
'Recently a number of smaller combines
have been put on the market and interest in
them is becoming more general"

One Year of the War.

A year ago, by Gcrmany's declaration of
war aganse Russia the greatest war in arr the
history of the world was initiated. That the
action taken by the Kasers government on that
day meant the beginning of most gigantic
struggle was clearly forseen by every thinking
man. and the history of the past II months has
proven that the predictions as to the magnitude
of the conflict We're not exaggerated.
But some of the developements sre differ
ent than expected, Chief of these is the dura-
ton of the war. Everyone expected it would be
short, and the person who would have predict
ed in the early stages that the conflict would last
n year would have been put down as a wild guess
er. Other phases of especial interest, because
not forseen, are The great use made by new
instruments of warfare, particularly the sub
marine, and the huge guns used by the Germans
and Austrians; the violent shaking of estab-
lished rules of international law, by unusual ac-
tions on both sides, which may result in the nee
essity of redraftmg the code of international
law when the conflict is ended and, lastly,
the shaking of friendly relations between the
United States and the beigerants particularly
with Germany ON account of her persistence in
attacking vessels with submarines, endangering
the lives of neutrals.
That the war has been waged for year
with all its fierce intensity costing millions of
lives, and many millions of dollars every day is
the great, overpowering fact in contemplating
the history since the first warlike step was taken
ON August ], 1914, together with the fact that

Think of those who do nothing for the exten-
sion of Christianity, or the church in the com
munity.
Ten men like Lot would have saved Sodom,
but that would not have hndered it from rott-
ing out with corruption.
Lot was saved, but burned out. We have
no record that Lot ever gave one dollar to help
save his city. Better would it be for some men,
especially for their souls that they were burned
out Their wives might turn to a pillar of salt,
die looking back on the social corruption OF
the city from which God may be sending her
Men live in these cities of rotten-ness with their
children taking up with it, and marrying the
people that are propagators OF such things
Oh, that we had men and women that it
could be said of as it was said of Geddie when he
went to Aneityum, and this was the inscription
that was placed upon his tomb, "When he came
in 184S there were no Christians here; When he
left in 1872 there were no heathen."
Such could be the case with every citizen,
if only they could see the need of good, clean,
upright and wholesome city.
Do we know the time of visitation, Jesus
Christ comes to the city, and asks admttancc
into it's affairs. Will we give Him place in the
government and regulations of our city! He
seeks for it, He asks for it. Will we give it to
Him? May we ask Him in.
There is one city that will be destitute of
sin and wickedness The new Jerusalem that
comes down out of heaven to occupy this old
earth again Thank God the cause of wicked
ness will be removed. Satan shall be chained
and be placed i'm the bottomless pit where he be-
longs, no more to mOlest and spoil the character
that God has given to man.

Let the Students Help.

Most of the work in connection with the Coun-
ty Fair is done each year by the business men of
the town who for the interest of the whole ..om-
munity, give great deal of their valuable time.
1t would be an interesting situation if about
fifty high school students who are receiving
their education at the expense of the community
would volunteer their services and do all the
routine work they could and thus relieve the
pressure on the people whose time is perhaps
more valuable. We also venture the suggestion
that they would find this experience quite as
valuable as that gained in reading in Latan how
Caesar built bridge he could get to the other
side and butcher up few more hcathcn.
