II looks now as though one of the
big issues next year will be pre-
paredness." The newspapers over
the country are lining up on the ques-
ton. If you want the United States
10 get into position to start war
you will be for preparedness" The
rural communities will generally be
against the plan. The coast towns
and the big steel and powder indus
tries will naturally be for it, Here
in the Emmett country the sentiment
is very strong against it, and the
women folks are especially strongly
opposed to it. Take your time and
post up.

gave his horse, Gunpowder, half a
score of kicks in the ribs and attempt
ed to dash briskly across the bridge;
but, instead of starting forward, the
perverse old animal made lateral
movement and ran broadside against
the fence. Ichabod, whose fears in

reins on the other side, and kicked
Justify with the contrary foot; it was
all in vain; his steed started, it is
true, but it was only to plunge into
the opposite side of the road into

The schoolmaster now bestowed both
whip and heel upon the starving rios
of old Gunpowder, who dashed for
wards, snuffling and snorting, but
came to a stand just before the bridge
with suddenness that nearly sent
his rider sprawling over his head.
Just at this moment a splashy tramp
by the side of the bridge caught the
sensitive ear of Ichabod. In the shad-
ow of the grove, on the margin of
the brook, he beheld something huge,
misshapen, black and towering. 1t

8 There was once a man who sale
damn the United Statesl | wish
may never hear of the United States
againwThe man was the leading char
acter in Edward Everett Hale's cele-
J brated story, "The Man Without a
Country" In the story he was ac-
cused of conspiring with Aaron Burr,
was tried and made the fatal exclam-
alton in the presence of the army
officers assembled for the court mar
tial His punishment was in keeping
with his expression. He was never
again allowed to see his native land.
| From then on his life was spent
aboard warships in foreign waters.
He was never allowed to even hear
the words "The United States" He
was allowed no books or papers from
home and no one was allowed to tell
him the news. In all other respects
he was given the freedom of the ships.
1t was the cruellest punishment that
could be inflicted. His repentance was
bitter. One day, when the vessel he
was or had captured slave ship and
liberated the prisoners he spoke of
his sorrow to young midshipman in
the following stirring Words:
"Youngster, let me show you what
it is to be without family, without
a home and without a country. If you
are ever tempted to say word or do
a thing that shall put bar between
you and your family, your home and
your country, pray God in his mercy
to take you that instant home to his
own heaven. Stick to your family,
boy. Forget you have self, while q
you do everything for them. Think q
IF your home, boy. Write and send q
and talk about it. Let it be nearer a
md dearer to your thought the far v

And for your country, boy" and the n
words ratified in his throat, "and for 7
