After The War.

When the foolish war is ended,
and the sword is laid aside, and the
fallen men are blended with the
soil on which they died, will the
nations be as daring as they were
before the scrap, will they hunt for
trouble, caring for the outcome not
a rap? Will the monarchs and the
colonies, having seen that wars a
frost, having summed up in their
journals what the crazy fighting
cost-will they milder be or holder,
will they still be out for gore,
with a chip on every shoulder and
a bulldog by the doorg Well, me.
thinks they will be willing, being
sick of blood and tears, to postpone
| all further killing for at least a
hundred years. For they'll all be
so Disguised and so weary and SO
sore, and their bank accounts so
busted, they'll consider war bore.
But some men are greatly worried,
lest they sail across the seas, and
whip us, who've meier been curried
'twixt the fetlock and the knees.
They will have enough of fighting
when their wretched scrap is DER;
there's no reason, at this writing,
why we need to walk the floor

A number of preparedness

that Kansas favors the big appro-

Here is a list Of organizations
that have formally gone on record

5000.
The Kansas State Grange, with

there is scarcely a week that from
three to half dozen local farmers
institutions have not adopted resp
lutiOns against it.

Rank Foolishness.

You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold wealth
er. That is rank foolishness. Were
it true colds would be as prevalent
in midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid
of cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is effectuaI and is high
ly recommended by people who
have used it for many years as oc-
casion required, and know its real
value. Obtainable everywhere.

at Fifth avenue and 126th street,
Brooklyn, said:
"Our army and navy onght to

economically maintained, but we
ought not to have larger military
establishment than we need to
police out country and defend oul

gram upon that of other nations is
to put ourselves in the vicious
circle Of naval competition and to
commit ourselves to a policy
dictated by Europe and absurdly
inapplicable from a political point
of view to our needs.
"Political parties are preparing
now to make capital out of condi.
tions that need mending. Fears
and prejudices are being played
upon to put through programs in.

WAR CAUSING HIGH PRICES
IN MANY LINES OF GOODS.

1t is quite apparent that rising
costs of everything makes people
feel that there is something wrong
somewhere. This is very true-the
something wrong is the European
war. All the men IN those countries
are working as hard as they can to
supply the needs of the army and
all those who are really able TO work
are in the army. This makes it
necessary that everything that they
need be purchased abroad and that
is why the mills and factories in the
United States are taxed to their ut
most capacity to fill orders. With
increasing demand always comes in
creasing prices and sometimes even
worse-famine in whatever line the
demand exceeds the supply.

$1,000. The State tax has been in

making total of S16.10. If he
lives in the City of Marietta he will
have an additional $11.0O to pay,
making his taxes S27.1O on $1,000.

CARD FROM HON. GORDON LEE

To the People of the Seventh Ga.
District.
1t is with no formal words that
would acknowledge my gratitude
and obligation to you for having
expressed, by impressive majorities
and for the seventh consecutive time
your approval of the service | have
given you and your desire that
continue as your representative in
the national congress.
To have been sent once on this
responsible mission was a high hon
or indeed, but might have been more
or less tentative on your part. To
be returned again and again to the
same service indicates that you have
not been disappointed in your rea-
sonable expectations and that you
know the value of training and ex-
perience in public service as we'll
as in private enterprise.
Now that the election is over. let
us all forget any unpleasantness
that may have developed and unite
in common and harmonious effort
in pushing our district forward to
splendid leadership in all lines of
industrial development.
To all and to every one individ-
ually, extend my hearty good will
and shall give myself the pleasure
of as much personal intercourse
with you as my duties will permit.
