COMES WITH POOR GRACE.
rIr. Barber's Caution About Under
price Selling Commented Upon.

Editor OF The Reformer:-
No honorable taxpayer would eX
peet the town or village Of Brattleboro
to sell public property for less than its
actual value, nor pay an excessive
price, amounting to gratuities, for land
possessed by the town by right of emf
ncnt domain and continuous occupancy
for moro than 100 years. 1t comes
with poor grace for Mr.. Herbert G.
Barber to caution the village against

the transfer of his questionable land
rights ON lower Main street. If Mr.
Barber were administering upon the
deceased engine company, or had imme
date use for this small parcel of land,

Findings of Lumber Investigators.

The Federal Trade Commission has
been looking into conditions in the
lumber business with some curious re-
suits, says Farm and Fireside, the
national farm paper published in
Springfield, Ohio. 1.-THE country's con
sumption of timber has decreased
sharply of late, and the manufactur-
ers are in a bad way, making no mon
ey and seeing no prospects of it. But
reflect any change in conditions. The
commission opines that the retailing
end of the business is so well organ
lied that it can keep its prices up, AMI
the manufacturers and timber-lantl
owners have to stand the stress; the
consumer doesn t get his share of ben
eft.

transfer as public Improvement and
benefaction? Many public spirited
citizens are rejoicing that Mr. Herbert
e. Barber has no voice in village af-
fairs What towns and villages espe-
cially require is a system of rules for
the regulation OF the professional con-
duet Of certain persons regarding the
rights of possession and dispossession.

Loro bless the men who fly and sail,
Ana crop the bombs like burning hail:
Keep Thou their hands upon the wheel 1
And make their nerves as true as steel
Let no unfriendly wind arise i
That might upset them in the skies: !
Keep their propellers good and stout,
ana make the gasoline hold out.
oh' give them eagle eyes to see
Where enemies might hidden be,
And may they strike the fatal blow
At all who dwell on earth below.
We thank Thee, Lord, that in this age
We can such deadly warfare wage,
And from OR armored flying fleets
Raln sudden death on home, and
streets.
We thank whatever unseen power
Has brought us to this happy hour,
And given death a pair of wings
10 serve our emperors and kings.
o Lord, we common working folks
Are glad to bear these heavy yokes,
And live like dogs and die like slaves,
And rot in ugly, unknown graves.
We love to do the dirty work,
While our dear masters loaf and shirk
The idle rich we love to please
Who live in luxury and ease.
We furnish men from our own ranks
To kill each other without thanks,
While our dear masters stand afar
And laugh TO see what fools we are.
The aeroplane is one more tool
With which we Dubbs can act the fool
Our masters want it done, and hence
We do, these things for want of sense

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

/ always try to keep a careful
watch on the papers and maga-
zines that come to this office to
to see if they might happen to
contain anything written in
'''Fool,Killer Style" that is good
enough to pass along to my read
ers. Only at rare intervals do
/ run across something that fills
the bill. So the present moment
turns out to be one of those rare
intervals. I have found some
thing. Found it, too, in a paper
where there was very little ex-
pectation of finding such a thing.
The New York Independent Of
April 17>contains the following
gem from the pen of Ellis 0.
Jones, and because it is fully as
good as if / had written it my
self, it affords me real pleasure
to rescue it from oblivion and
give it to the world:
SEE THE ROYAL FAMILY.
By Ellis 0. Jones.
Behold the Royal Family.
Yes. What a scrumptious, eff
fulgent and withal perfectly use
less Royal Family it is! What is
the Royal Family doing?
It is regaling itself with a
certain form of mortal combat
called war. That is to say, the
Royal Family is fighting.
All, but is it not unseemly and
altogether intra dig for the
Royal Family to fight?
The fool-killer., 1916-06-01

In looking over this country for
traitors, why not put big tag on
Tom Dixon, that swell guy who is
trying to stampede the whole
works with his moving picture
play, ''The Fall of a Nation?' If
ever this nation falls, heavy re-
sponsibility will rest on Tom for
having betrayed US into the hand S
of our enemies and shown them
just where and how to attack US
in order to wipe us out. But in
stead of being denounced as the
traitor he is, Tom is being hailed
as a great PATRIOT! Bosh!

THE FOOL-KILLER, BOOMER. N. C.


that the Royal Family does not
engage in the fight. en- propria
persona.
No? How can that be?
The Royal Family would no
more think of doing its own
fighting than of shining it's own
shoes or currying it's own horses
or running its own automobile or
buttoning itself up the back.
How, then, does the Royal
Family get its fighting done?
By the use of a carefully select
ed body of men called soldiers
and sailors. When one Royal
Family quarrels with some other
Royal Family, it is only neces-
sary to order out these carefully
drilled soldiers and sailors and
have them shoot each other with
great zeal, vigor and diligence.
But isn't it rather difficult to
get men to engage in such a dan
gerous occupation?
Not at all. 1t is very easy. Of
all the occupations under the
sun, that of soldiers and sailors
is the poorest paid, and they are
usually ill-treated into the bar
gain.
It is incredible. How long has
it been that way?
It has been that way for a very
long time.
How long will it be that way?
AS long as hard working citi-
zens cherish the notion that idle
Royal Families. are worth fight
ing for.

HOLD YOUR HORSES!

BY grannies, we are getting
along some. The poor old blind
New York Independent is begin
ming to see just little out Of one
eye. In it's issue Of April Oath it
clears up it's throat like a Hard
shell Baptist preacher and gives
us a few half-baked editorial
ideas on collective Versus Com
petitive Armaments.
And what do you think? The
Independent scribbler seems to
have gotten one corner Of good
thought wedged into his seed-tick
noggin and can't get it either in
nor out. He acts sorter like calf
with it's head in the crack Of the
fence and it's nanny bellering foi
help.
Finally, after jumping at it a
few times like a puppy after pet
pig, he gets his preparedness
argument by the tail and drags il
across the stage Of action as fol-
lows:
"The Independent is for prepared
ness, and yet deplores preparedness.
If we stand for preparedness-mod
rate and unhysterical though it be
we do so only as stop-gap until the
whole competitive system of arma-
ments is abolished. This, we admit
is no small task. But there can be
no doubt that once the world has
sense enough to substitute the col
lective system of ornaments, under q
League to Enforce Peace, for the COM
,etitive system of armaments under
which the world now so previously
suffers, we shall have devised a scien-
tifc formula for changing the colossal
rival ornaments of the world into 8
true international police"
Well, confound it, that's sorte1
the way it rattles in my soap
gourd. But hold on. That ain I
the funny part Of it. Here we
have this college-foundered, high
brow editor cuss trying to tell us a
competitive system Of national de-
fense is a bad thing to have, and
that cooperative system of de-
fense would be incomparably bet
ter. You see he is beginning to
get a little glimmering Of the CO.
operative idea-to the extent OF
applying it to military affairs
But right there he stops, like a
balky steer under a shade-tree in
August, and you couldn't move
him with anything less than
dynamite. His reasoner can i
open wide enough yet to take i'll
the fact that if cooperation is

CALOMEL DYNAM|TEs
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you
Sick ard you lose

Calomel salivates! It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get 50-cent bottle
Of D0dson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless,yegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take spoonful and
if it dosen't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give to children;

INTERESTING MEETING OF
THE WOMANS CLUB HELD

The Woman's Club experienced a
great revival OF the "old-time fellow
ship" Wednesday afternoon. The
Carnegie auditorium was filled with
women interested to hear and learn
more about the all-consuming work
of making and keeping a home and
doing the best for the family, making
up the home.
The Ocilla Woman's Club came in
response to special invitation to be
present at this meeting, and there
were several guests from other places.
Many of Fitzgerald's women, not club
members were also in attendance.
The attraction was the address by
Mrs. M. NJ. Parks, Federation Chair
man, on Home Economics" Mrs.
Parks manner and plan of presenting
her subject are charming and convinc-
ing. She has some practical plans
worked out that she offers to clubs
to use in interesting and further edu-
eating women along the important
line. She makes an earnest appeal
that the clubs through the Federation
will help to get her department sup
piled, the helpful literature and ma
terial she needs to send when women
and organizations appeal for help.
After tn address a reception for the
guests was held in the club room. This
was also a delightful feature of the
afternoon. A special committee COM
posed of Mrs. Hoitzendorf, Mrs. Rus
sell and Mrs. Denmark were respon-
sible for this beautiful hospitality.
Mrs. L. A. Turner sang and Mrs.
Murphy played These two Of the
