LET IT PASS.

Be not swift to take otfense,
Let it pass!
Anger is foe to sense,
Let it pass!
Brood not sadly DER wrong
Which will disappear ere long,
Rather sing this CHEEKY song:
Let it pass!
Echo not an angry word.
Let it pass!
Think how often you have erred,
Since our joys must pass away,
Like the dew drops on the spray,
Wherefore let our sorrows stay?
Let it pass!
Bid your anger then depart,
Let it pass!
Lay these homely words to heart,
Let it pass!
Follow not the giddy throng,
Better to be wronged than wrong;
Therefore sing this CHEEKY song:
Let it pass!
If for good you're given ills,
Let it pass!
Oh, be kind and gentle still,
Let it pass!
Time at last makes all things straigh
Let US not resent, but wait,
And our triumph will be great,
Let it pass.
Strife corrodes the purest mind,
Let it pass!
AS the unregarded wind,
Let it pass!
Any vulgar souls that live
May condemn without reprieve,
IT'S the noble who forgive,
Let it pass!

STATUS OF FINANCE
 IS REVEALED
Answering Charge, German Sec retary Declared that Neither Banks nor Insurance Con- panies Issued Notes.

Berlin, Feb. 7.-Dr. Karl Helfrer- ich, secretary of the German imper- ial treasury today denied according to the Overseas News Agency, the question propounded recently to Ger many by Sir Edward Holden at the annual meeting of the London City and Midland Bank of which Sir Ed ward is managing director. In addi- tion to replying to Sir Edwards ques- tion regarding Germany's finances, Dr. Helfferich in turn interrogated Sir Edward with regard to the finances of Great Britain.
 To the question whether German as- sets in foreign countries still exist, Dr. Helffrich said billions of German assets were being withheld by Eng land under receivership and against law and esquity. He then asked what conclusion was to be drawn as to Eng fish finance from the fact that Great Britain floated loan in the United States to strengthen the exchange rate on the English pound.
 With regard to the decrease in Ger man exports he explained that Bri tain's exports had shrunk by half anc the imports had increased to such ar extent that the balance of trade against against Great Britain was now 500,000, ,000 pounds sterling instead of 150, ,000 pounds as formerly.
 To Sir Edwards question whether Germany's security holdings had no all been sold Dr. Helfferich replied that Great Britain's search of mail or neutral ships for foreign securitie, "and discovery made on these occasions must sufficiently edify Sir EdwarC concerning the actual existence O large German holdings of such securi ties"
 Dr. Hefferich with regard to tn charge of imitation of German pape circulation said the war credit bank mortgage banks, and insurance com panies never issued bank notes. H said reports of riots in Germany il which hungry women were shot dow by the military were invention.
 As to future taxes in Germany h. said the war was costing two shill ings per head of the population il Great Britain as agaist one shilling in Germany.

K. R. COMMISSION ORDERS
 REMOVAL SPUR TRACKS

The Arkansas Railroad Commission has made an order for the removal of certain spur tracks of the Midland Valley railroad to Hartford and Nam moth Vein coal company mines in Se- bastian county. Certain citizens had protested. The material tied up in these unused tracks was valued at $10. 700. The Commission order says Without going into ,ne question of the jurisdiction of the Commission over private spur tracks, it is ap- parent that there is neither a present public or private need for the reten- tion of the tracks. It does not appear that any public obligation was as- sumed in the construction of these tracks, or that the general public has ever used them. The contracts for their construction covered a private arrangement for service to single con- cerns. The concerns are not now be ing operated, and the tracks are not being used. It would be unjust to the railroad company to keep material
 tied and exposed to weather where i would deteriorate."

 MISSOURI TOWNSHIP

Today We print the formal an- nouncement of Jim Ward, of Prescott route number one, who is asking your support for Road Overseer of this, Missouri township, subject to the ac- tion of the Democratic primary March 29th, 1916.
