MJust a Volunteer"

Cherokee Times: Once in while
you will hear som cone sheer at the
members of the national guard and
speak lightly Of them as "tin sol
diers," but you can put it down as al
most a certainty that the one who
makes such a remark isn't built OF
soldier material. He'd father stay
behind out of dangers reach than
shoulder his gun and march out with
the boys History proves that there
is no more valiant or effective fighting
force in the world than the American
volunteer army, and the STRIPPING
boys who make up the guard, if they
are put into active srevice, will face
dangers just as bravely and acquit
themselves just as creditably as have
the boys who have gone forth to battle
in every war Of the nation. 1t was
boys who did the fighting in the SOS,
and it viii be boys who will do the
fighting in any war we may have.
They are the material of which SOL
diers are made.

AIR. GUN DANGER.

The story of little New York City girl
killed with bullet from an air gun held by her
brother is more pathetic than surprising. Such
tragedy is liable to occur right here IN keo-
kuk, Judging from the large number OF young
sters equipped with air guns one sees on the
streets Many parents have notion that 1t
makes difference what kind of power propels
a bullet or shot. It goes without saying that
children will find or create dangers without any
mechanical aid. That is all the more reason
for avoiding such dangers as the parents can
control
The air rifle has its place But the age and
habits Of boy should be well considered before
one is put into his hands. Parents who are
willing to trust their children with such weap-
one is put into his hands Parents who are
for the guns use, restricting it to target prac-
tice and forbidding absolutely any pointing at
another person Children can be, and many
have been, taught to be as careful in this re-
gard as their elder+more careful In some
cases. And if the fear Of pointing any kind OF
gun at others be thoroughly implanted IN
youth it will save trouble throughout life.

The travels of Birds.


In his volume Travels of Birds"
Frank Chapman relates an experience
he had on Bedloe's island soon after
the statue of Liberty YVES erected
With some friends, Mr.. Chapman
spent the night on the island during
the height OF the fall migration OF
the birds. Soon after dark they be-
gan to hear the calls Of passing birds.
The air seemed filled with them, but
they were flying too high to be ut
tracted by the light. All was going
we'll for the night filters and they
were making rapid time on their
journey to the south. But at IL
o'clock the sky became clouded. Dis
tant thunder was heard; soon it be-
gan to rain lightly. At once the birds
appeared about the light. At first
there were only a few, but their num-
bers increasing rapidly, and within
few minutes there were hundreds
of them. In order to be among them
Mr. Chapman and his friends mount
ed to the feet OF the statue. There
they saw the birds by hundreds, and
as though drawn by some unseen
power they dart straight toward the
lantern. Some, blinded by the steady
glare, hit parts of the statue or the
glass about the light: others actually
flew against the men as they sat pc
hind the low rail Of the balcony. 1t
was a scene Of indescribable interest;
to every bird seen thousands we're
passing; and although fortunately no
birds were killed on that night 1t Is
known that many hundreds Of these
dear little feathered friends are often
found dead at lighthouses on a single
night!

TODAY.s BIT OF VERSE

SUNSET WINGS.
Tonight the sunset spreads two golden wings
Cleaving the western sky;
Winged too with wind it is, and winnow1ngs
OF birds;
Sunsteeped in fire, the homeward pinions sway
Above the dovecotetops;
And clouds of starings, ere they rest with day.
Sink clamorous like mill-waters, at wild play,
BY turns in every copse:
Each tree Eeart-deep the wrangling rout receives
Save for the whir within,
You could not tell the starlings from the leaves;
Then one great puff of wings and the swarm heaves
Away with all its din.

A MATTER OF RECORD.

The man who is too busy to marry has been
robbed of his excuse. An entirely new method
Of courtship which should accommodate the
busiest of mortals has been devised by IN
spired West Virginian who spoke his proposal
of marriage into a talking machine receiver
and sent the record to the object Of his affec-
tons. And she further simplified the transac-
ton by returning record from which her SUIT
or heard the blissful "Yes."
The possibilities suggested herein are limit
less. The relief in sight for the timid man ex-
ceeds the profit promised the busy one And
if there are any wary bachelors who see in the
waxen cylinders dangerous evidence for breach
of promise suits, they need be reminded only
that a little care in dictation will produce a
record that will fit any case and that for this
very reason will be ruled absolutely valueless
as testimony in court of law. Indeed, the
time when proposal records may be returned
like outworn engagement rings and used over
and over again is entirely within expectation.

Primary Election Results.

The usual light vote was polled in
Villas county Tuesday several com
tests among Republicans evidently
not arousing enthusiasm to very
high pitch. LaFollete won by large
majority over Jetfris which helps to
account for his 25, 600 majority in the
state. This means OF course that
there will be NO Republican candi-
date for the Ct. S. senatoeship, nearly
every prominent G. O. r. newspaper
in the state being on record to the eff
sect that he is a Democrat of the
BLACKLIST and most vicious type, so

Democratic senator, either Wolfe or
Pompadour Bob.

"pEACE MADE IN GERMANY"
Kaiser Would Evacuate Belgium and
Pay Damages.

Washington, Jan. 2S-Diplomatic
circles yesterday conferred discussion
on the news that Germany is consider
ing making an offer to separate peace
to Belgium. In neutral circles specu-
lation as to whether King Albert,
would consent to accept evacuation OF
his country and payment for pro
perty. damage done as payment in
full for the sufferings Of his people
was about evenly divided.
Diplomats representing the Brit
ish government condemned the plan
ofrhand and declared unwavering con-
fidence in King Albert's continuing
his resolution never to "desert' the
allies.
From the German Embassy came an
expression Of opinion in the form of
an interrogatory:
"How can the allies object to the
restoration of Belgium, inasmuch as
it was over this question that the
chief of the allied powers went to
warp :.
Whatever may prove the attitude Of
King Albert. the attitude of OFFICIALS
connected with the Belgian Legation
was tlear-cut The reported proposal
of separate peace is regarded in;
this, quarter as merely another at
tempt to bring about an advantage
Gus peace, made in Germany"
II Belgium has an opportunity to
reoccupy her invaded territory and
grasps it, the German plan to trans
fer to the near east the million troops

according to Il neutral in close touch
with England's war plans. lie says
pressure would be brought to bear on
Holland to have her enter the war,
and the 100000 Britons in the
Flanders trenches could be transferr-
ed to the Dutch border to fight Ger
many on her own soil.
In British circles the proposal was
taken as being another "feeler" on the
