Warning Against Nations
Pet Extravaganza

IL We had poured al of our gaso-
line upon all OF our pepper and set
fire TO the saturated mass, We could

Now we are reminded by the gov.
eminent that we ought TO be care

IL tters TO 4 900 commercial organiza-

What John Redmond means is, just
another error for the erin isle.
We seem to need, more than anything
else inst now, another kind of patriot
lie need not die for his country if he viii
make it for his country.
Subscriber suggests that in addition to
the Keep WeIr' talks on this page, we
run series of articles on "orial dentis-
try" What he means, Of course, is oriole
surgery, pertaining to the process that
comes just before the swallow.
If this report is true that they have
so soon suppressed that Irish uprising, it
couldn't have been an Irish uprising.
We are bit disappointed to ascertain
that ''HelIs Hinges" which we see adver-
tised on the billboards, Is movie produc-
wanted to remark that it would seem to
have nice swing to it.
Will the police kindly ascertain for US
the kind of sound deadener used by the
robbers who blew the Jas. Fitzsimons &
Co. safe? The safe was blown Sunday
night and the public didn't hear of il
until Tuesday.
We want to get some of it. Across the
street from us there is photograph
which still plays The Trail of the Lone

Anyway, that's one or two saloons that

Today ! want TO say something on
subject that is OF deep concern TO
al Of us-the subject OF social re-
sponsibility. II is OF special concern
because In certain quarters there is
evident quite inadequate spprecia-
tom OF the basic truth that the we'll
being OF every community depends
OF the well-being of the individuals
OF the community. and that there
fore the community has right to
intervene for the safeguarding of in
dividual health.
Many people are prone 10 think
and act as il their personal and fam
LIZ health affected themselves alone.
They resent attempts to regulate
their lives in the interest OF the
community. They are even inclined
tn see In this menace 10 family
life.
Thus the writer Of recent
pamphlet that has come 10 my hands
declares:
"You will find that in our schools
under the guise Of Humanitarian ism
socialism is being translated from
theory into practice.
Nowhere, I think. is this more
true than in New York city. No
where has the pet socialistic theory
o. state supervision OF the child. OF
the substitution OF state control for
family control, had a more practical
result.
For the public schools OF New
York not only teach the child how
TO read and write and figure, but
how TO sew and cook-things that
the mother was at one time sup
posed TO teach.
THE state doctor nov examines
the child. looks at IT'S teeth. its hair.
its clothes: takes into his hands the
natter OF the health Of the child,
and recently has also taken up the
question OF feeding the child"
With the pamphleteers subse-
quent plea for the developing OF a
stronger morally in school chill
dren, I am in hearty accord.
But would not this likewise be an
extension Of state supervision Of the
cbild-an undertaking by the state
of a task supposed 10 be undertak-
en- by the father and mother?
The fact OF the matter Is thar

OF health, many parents are derelict

HENRY FORD IN MICHIGAN AND

HENRY FORD IN MICHIGAN AND
NEBRASKA?
Don't be surprised to find, and before
very long. that peace party is forming,
and with FOUR parties in the field, don't
be surprised to find on some fine morn
ing late next fall that the candidate OF
this peace party has been elected presi-
dent of the United States.
That man may not be Henry Ford.
II will not be Henry Ford if Henry
Ford has anything to say about it.
But he was not an active candidate
in either Michigan or Nebraska.
If the man is not Henry Ford, he will
be of Henry Ford's party and will have
Henry Fords following, and that will
amount to something.
The primaries in Michigan and Ne
braska show us what it will amount to.
There is going to be some fun before
the campaign Of 1916 is over.

Some Things the Germans
Do That We Could Copy

One thing brought out by this and con-
ceded by everyone. is their remarkable power
for organization and the quick and capable re-
suits in all governmental matters possessed and
obtained by Germany.
Irrespective OF whatever we may feel regard
ing the war we would do we'll TO search for
the reason OF this wonderful efficiency and
profit by II.
One thing which contributes to this state OF
things is the fact that her officials, mayors.
chiefs OF departments, subordinates in depart
ments, ETC., are trained for their positions.
No one is considered eligible 10 election or
appointment who has not had a thorough edu-
cation In the particular line OF work 10 which
he aspires.

Of this idea and IL Is bearing fruit In a few
cities where the city manager has been installed

Why should a man. because he has been an
excellent butcher. necessarily become good
mayor.
What does he know about running the affairs
OF city,
Why should a man who has had an automo
bile agency become a capable police commits

There is no answer for there Is no reason
why.
Politics have turned upside down all our
ordinary standards Of values and good sense
and have made believe that ANY man can

CREAM CHECKS GROWING

Two years age there was scarcely any
cream shipped from this tract, during
1915 however, good many began to
get in milk cows, and there has been a
steady increase in the sale of cream.
We are indebted to Mr.. Berry of the
bank, for the figures Of cream checks,
that has passed thru the bank for De-
cember. They total 1892. SO, this does
not include the cream shipped from
Marley which it is safe to say would
bring the aggregate to $1,000, this
means $1,000 year with little effort,
this can be doubled next year. Just
stop and think whal it means, $4,000 a
month being distributed on the tract,
S24, 900 year and this means distri-
button, as many of the men who will
milk cows, will buy hay and feed.
Lets get busy and milk more cows and
make this reality, we can do it.

M. E. CHURCH NOTES

Those who were present at worship
last Sunday found as they entered the
building that it had changed much in
appearance during the week, the same
having been gone over with oil and
varnish, carpet being placed across
the front and down the aisle, a new
curtain hung on the alter rail, and new
material put on the screens, all this
adding to the appearance of the room
which makes it more inviting to the
worshipers. The work being done by
the pastor and his wife, while the
material was furnished by some kind
friends.
The pastor wishes to take this oppor-
tunity to thank those who made this
change possible, by supplying money
for the purchasing of the necessary
material, and he wishes all to come
and see how neat the little building
looks.
Last Sunday morning the services
were very impressive, a goodly num-
Der partaking of the sacrament. At
the close of the sacramento service
the infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. W.
Pridmore was baptised.
