When every pool in Eden was mir
ror,
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed
She went undraped without single
Or thought that she has need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became ipclined to be a
prude,
And found thct evermore she'd
haye to grapple
With the much-debated problem Of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her atten-
ton,
Her time, and all her money to her
clothes.
And that was the beginning of con-
vention
And modcsty, as well, I suppose.
Reactions come about in fashions,
recent,
Now girls conceal so little from the
men,
1t would seem in the name of all
that's decent,
Some one onght to pass Il the apples
round again

YULETlDE AGAIN

The Yuletide season is with us
again
1t is with us, but not of us, for
much of the earth knows little of
JOY today.
Upon many millions of people the
sun shines as brightly as in the
days of old, but its lustre is dim
med by the shielded blood of suf-
fering humanity.
The benign smile of the Divine
One is as tender and as loving as
when the world was young, but
the twentieth century finds toe
many of the human race bent upon
pleasure, and profit, and revenge,
and forgetful of the beauties of life
as seen through eyes that are bet
ter and holier than ours.
1t is with this knowledge that
the people of our little community
approach the Yuletide time, when
all should be sunshine, and glad
ness, and joy.
But if we may not sway the rest
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-12-12

of the world, if our voice be not
heart beyond the confines of our
own fresides, we yet may look up
ward with a feeling of gladness
and thankfulness that the horrors
that are engulfng the rest of the
world have at least passed us by.
We may be thankful that we have
even an hour of peace and prosper
ity for our cuontry, though no one
knows when the whitening hand of
the blight of the century may he
spread over our own fair land.
Let us be joyful today, but let
us mingle that joy with compassion
for the stricken ones of other
lands, to whom the Yuletide season
is but mockery and an agonizing
delusion.

PRIDE OF THE DEMOCRATS
(To the tune of Tipperary.)


There was big convention held in
Baltimore one day,
And many tried to boss it, but their
fond hopes went astray;
Along came William Jennings, say
ing, 'Boys, here's the man.;
The delegates cheered and blessed
him and took Wilson by the hand.
REFRAIN
It's a quick way to win thesmoney,
It's sure way to go;
It will teach the poor Republicans
Many things they ought to know.
Good bye, Charley Fairbanks,
Farewell, Whiskered Bear;
It's dead sure way to win the
money,
For Wilson's right there.
Our Wilson was selected by the
noble Democrats
To uphold Freedom's banner and
wean sucking Wall street rats;
The electoral college gave him a
great majority;
The elephant sought his jungle, while
the donkey kicked with glee.
For four years we've had Wilson at
the helm Of Ship of State,
For four years we've had plenty,
and sweet justice, never late;
For four years more Wen have him,
and will only have begun,
For Lansing will be ready, his elec-
ton easy won.
If you who hear this doubt it, why,
look back, dear friend, loOk
backl
You see a bursting pork barrel and
a burdeneA toil-worn back;
You see a fearful panic and pam
pered millionaire,
A toy army and navy and brass
hinged Teddy Bear.

Not A KICK: A Boost

While the Review does not wish to
<'knock" the Brown County Fair or
the managers, it does seem necessary to
call attention to the oft-repeated remark
heard at the fair grounds and on the
street during the progress of the fair
concerning the inadequacy Of the ac-
Communications at the fair grounds. 1t
is known to the Review as well as to
Others that the Fair Board has an uphill
Job and it has been the policy of the
Review to boost steadily and earnestly
for the institution which should be one
of the biggest factors in town and country
life of this county. We have tried by
every means in our power to set the
Fair before the people of the county in
otis true light as very important event
and an educating influence. The man
ayers, we know, work hard and &C
complish as much as could be asked
of them but what they are able to do
under present conditions is not enough to

PIONEER WOMAN DIES.

Sunday afternoon at o'clock, Mrs
Susannah Katherine Klossner, the oldest
pioneer resident of the city, passed away
at the home of her son, Jacob Klossner
Jr. on North German Street. Death
was due to old age, superinduced by
other troubles. It is believed that she
suffered a stroke Friday afternoon, be-
cause from that time on she was unable
to speak. She had been ill eight weeks
in all, the original trouble being jaundice,
and grew weaker from day to day until
death came. Before that she had been
in the best of health, bright mentally and
quite active for her years. For many
years she had exhibited annually at the
Brown County Fair some handiwork
that she prepared with her own hands.
This year also she had on exhibit an
apron with lace, all hand made.
The deceased whose maiden name was
Susannah Katherine Kroepfe was born
in Ladenbach, Switzerland April %,
1923 and was over SO years old when she
died. She was married to Jacob Kloss-
ner in the home of her nativity in 1916
and two years later they emigrated to

During the Indian Massacre, they were
forced to flee to St. Peter for safety. They
came back to the farm in the fall of the
year and continued farming until 80
years ago when they retired from active
farm life and moved to New Ulm. Her
husband died 10 years ago and since then
she has made her home with her son
Jacob. Ten children were born to her
of whom the following seven survive:
Jacob and John, residing in New Ulm;
Fred of Klossner; Henry of Edinburg,
Texas; William and Mrs. Emily Kiesling
of Winthrop and Mrs. Sophie Johnson
of Pelican Rapids. She is also survived
by As grandchildren and 80 great grand
children. The funeral will be held this

For The Good Of The Porty

Efforts are being made at the present
time by the leaders of the State Demo.
cracy to induce Thomas P. Dwyer, the
Democratic gubernatorial nominee to
withdraw in favor Of some one who is
better equipped to make the race. Dwy-
er's nomination came as pure accident.
1t was generally conceded in political
circles that Senator S. D. Works would
have walk-away in the primaries and
for that reason large number of Demo-
Gratis did not even take the trouble
to 60 to the polls. Besides that, quite
a number voted as usual, in the Re-
publican primaries. If Dwyer can be
induced to forego the nomination it
is proposed to make Senator Works the
standard bearer of the party and in
,augurate an active campaign. With
a candidate of state wide reputation as
gubernatorial nominee the party leaders
hope to be able to make very good
showing at the polls in November and
even 60 so far as to claim that there is
possibility of winning out. Should Mr..
.Dwyer refuse to part with the nomina-
ation, Burnquist's election would be
practically foregone conclusion.
The Democrats can, with clear con-
science, vote for Dwyer if he should
insist on staying on the ticket, because
he is frank and fearless and has positive
convictions on all public questions which
he is not afraid to express but it would
he more encouraging if the candidate
should have better chance to win.

w no Drives Your Car?

There is no doubt that it sounds like
grabbed crankiness when we repeatedly
mention our conviction that children
should not be allowed to drive auto
mobiles. But, crankiness or not, it
must be said and said again and again
that it is criminal carelessness for parents
to allow children to drive cars as they do
in New Ul1n, either with or without an
Older person in the car. Saturdays
collision shows what can happen to
grown persons driving with every in
tention to keep out of trouble. The
;anIwer Of the big car was doing everything
lin his power to keep the rules of the road.
He was turning at the proper corner and
) handling his car with all ordinary caution.
: The driver of the small car was coming
up a hill at moderate speed, far to one
side of the center of the road, keeping
out of the way of any car that might
be coming down Minnesota Street and
allowing plenty Of lee way for one to
Epass if it should be going up Minnesota
Street. But all these precautions did
not avert serious accident. Two cars
are in the hospital and their drivers are
going about with a sense of wonder at
the luck that protected them from
broken heads or smashed ribs. Think
what would have happened had either
one Of those cars been driven by children,

OBITUARY
AUGUST SCHAEFFLER.

August Schaeffler aged IS years passed
away at the Loretto Hospital during the
night Monday shortly after midnight,
after an illness lasting only S days.
Death was due to inflammation of the
gall-bladder. Prior to being taken down
with this illness, he had apparently been
in the best of health and his untimely
death came as a shock to his family and
friends.
The deceased was born in the Town of
Cottonwood, February 1861, as the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bernhard Schaeffier,
pioneer settlers Of that Town. On the
18th OF April, 1884, he was united in
marriage to Anna Bosdich, who survives
him. The marriage was performed in
the Catholic church in this city. Twenty

satisfy those who wish to attend tn,
flair and those who wish to make ex
hibits.
Last year the fancy work exhibits il
the woman's department were full,
numerous enough to fill the entire build
ing which now houses all home exhibits
This year there were not so many, or a
any rate, they did not occupy so much
space and the remark was made tina
it did not pay to send exhibits whel
they were to be piled upon each othe
and could not even be glimpsed by tn,
passing throngs who pushed and crowded
for a chance to get near the displays
The mercantile exhibits this year were
also few in number and prominent
merchants remarked to us: "They
are not treating us right by giving us nc
space. In the poultry department a
big kick was registered by one of the ex-
hibitors who said that he would not
exhibit again unless accommodations
were improved.
On every hand were heard similar
remarks and the throngs who came to
see were more than usually frank in ex-
pressing their disappointment with the
fair this year. The truth is that the
fair was good but it was not enough
different from last years exhibits to
give any particular pleasure to the
visitor and it is the natural thing to
want to seen a good improvement every
year.
Now, where does the trouble lie?
Talking with a prominent man of New
Ulm on the subject, he said; ''The
trouble is that the farmers do not take
the interest they should. They will be
the ones to benefit chiefly by the growth
and excellence of the fair but they do
not seem to be willing to take hold and
help the Association along. New build
ings are absolute necessities and they
must have them or give up trying to
hold a fair"
The property owned by the As
ISOLATION is worth a great many times
it's par value and it should be an easy
matter to sell enough more stock so that
the necessary funds may be at hand
to use for the buildings required to dis
play exhibits properly. Farmers in
this vicinity are exceedingly well to do
on the average. Nearly all have their
automobiles and regard them as good
business investments. They should also
consider it good investment to put
a few hundred dollars into any institu-
ton that will make for progress and
education along the line of their chosen
occupation. Town people have already
generously to the Associa-
ton stock and feel that they should
not be called upon to tsand any more
Of the burden of financing the institu-
ton until those for whose benefit it is
primarily instituted show the colo
of their money also. So,
That seems to be the situation as
it stands. The men who have worked
for the success of the fair year after
year are tired of a thankless job and
someone has got to take hold and help
them to solve the problem of how to
get those buildings which they positive
ly must have. There is simply no use
letting things run along as they are any
f11rt hor
