lihartx and Independence.

When the presidential struggle be-
tween Clay and Jackson was at its
height it is related that band of
emigrants from Kentucky and the then
other western states commenced to
settle on the north side of the Missouri
river and called their county Clay and
the county seat Liberty.
At the same time another lot of emf
grants from Virginia and other south
ern states pitched their tents on the
south side of the Big Muddy and called
their county Jackson and the capital
Independence And so it remains to
this day. Clay stood for liberty and
Jackson for independence.

SAVING DAYLIGHT.

The best way to save daylight is to
get up early in the morning. The best
ways to get up early In the morning
are:
First.-Go to bed early at night.
Second.-Get an intermittent alarm
clock and put it several yards away
from the bed.
Third.-Stay up.
If every American followed these
simple rules there would be far more
daylight in this country than there is
now.-San Francisco Bulletin.

London, Jan 1.-THE Manchester
Guardians London correspondent
forecasting the terms Of the entente
allies reply to President Wilson, says: +:
Restitution, reparation and securi
ties are demanded. and the note gives
some indications of the aims of the
allies in redrawing the map of Europe
The principle governing this must be
the question Of natIonalities.
Certain formulae are mentioned.
Belgium must regain her independ-
ence and be indemnified for her losses.
The boundaries of France must be re-
drawn in a spirit OF restitution. Italy
must redeem her provinces and the
boundaries of the Balkans must be re-
drawn in conformity with nationality
and history Russia must have access
to a warm sea- Great Britain is not
mentioned, nor is the question of col
onies

that while the president directed the
note to each of the allies, the allies
reply is one"

bankers at which they served notice
to brokers that stocks were being

Not exactly that replied Reilly.
There was report that some of the
brokers met at the Metropolitan club

amount of industrials carried in their
loans was entirely too high. Whether
such meeting was held or not l do

private letter printed in La Croix,

IL the truth was known about Belgium,
neutral nations would not confine
themselves to words The Belgian
cardinal declares that Belgium is now
suffering as never before He writes
1--WE are all prisoners here but if the
neutrals knew Of the treatment inf1ict-

would confine themselves to verbal re-

have to despair of fraternal charity
and humanity"

that although the Belgians are de-
pressed they are by no means discour-
aged and few want peace without vic
tory.
