The Lamar register., 1916-07-05

sleep upon the ground at night. We're
soft and wholly unprepared for what
the times, it seems, require, we need
to have our anger tired, and glow
with military fire, but since it is our
mortal lot, wen simply don our fight
ing clothes and show the planet what
we've got.
Our notion of the matter is that
war is that where they excel whose
shrapnel make the greatest whiz and
all the moneyed people dwell. We've
watched the war in Europe rage upon
the front and on the flank, and where
they finally engage for settlement is
at the bank. We wouldn't give in this
fell pass John Rockefeller and his son
for any cause, though it outclass in
glory anything we've done. 1t may
be true that right prevails, but right
is often in dispute; analysis of it
sometimes fails, and no man knows
its attribute. We'd rather have the
Morgan bank, the Guggcnheims and
Charlie Schwab, or even Ford, for
all crank, in undertaking such a
job. We notice that across the seas
the white book stage has passed
along; they're not debating, if you
please, the question now of right or
wrong. They've quit palavering Of
God, as men get down to old bedrock
and the one will win who has the odd
pound sterling in his old yarn sock.
At any rate, the summer girl
viii long for those who held her
hands,
Their hearts ahame, their heads
awhirl,
In other years upon the sands.
Another war will boost the price
OF war beyond its weight in dust,
The binders music will suffice
To make the farmers reason bust,
The college graduate will fit
From shock to shock with pith and
punch,
The hired man will feed him grit
And boot heels getting into lunch,
Well all proclaim our mortal hurts
And go in quest Of someone's gore,
And Susie will sew twice the shirts
For soldiers that she sewed before.
Independence, which has usually
been celebrated at home, will be eel
ebrated in Mexico this year It is
thought that after having about the
same experience VIC have had with it
the Mexicans will join in the move
ment for a sane and safe Fourth. The
battle between the pacifistic morning
stars, led by Jupiter, and the warlikc
evening stars, led by Mars, has ended
in a victory for Mars and his asso-
ciates, and there will be a new group
ing to sec what can be done to make
Mr. Rockefeller let go of some of
his money on the Sth, when he will
be IT years old Saturn will join
Mars and Venus for this purpose until
the 18th, when it will take its place
with Jupiter and Mercury as a morn
ing star. There is great hope Of the
combination in which Mars, Venus and
Saturn are to work. They are all very
terrifying stars, and the least expected
Of them is that they will reduce the
price Of gasoline. The moon will be
full on the 14th. Mr.. Roosevelt will
stand guard. The pass word will be
Ouch Mr.. Hughes will break his 81
lence on the 4th and the goth. Mr..
Wilson will get out regular notes on
the list, 18th and Both. Gen. Brush
emoff will be the hero again this
month in Europe. The first twenty
two days Of July will be under the in
fluence of Cancer the Crab, the fourth
sign Of the zodiac. People born in the
period of this sign have acquisitive-
ness. Mr.. Rockefeller is an example
of what they can do. They are not
great fighters; but they can finance
wars, which has been found useful.
The last nine days of the month will
be under the influence of Taurus the
Bull, the fifth sign of the zodiac The
Taurians are impulsive, but cautious
That is, they march in preparedness
parades, but one sees very little of
them around recruiting stations.
