SOME REFLECTIONS

The politician with wornout issue
Is q weather.beaten signboard indeed.
The man who marries his divorced
wife certainly; displays the courage OF
his convictions.
When fellow swears that he would
die for her he usually means that he
would die Of old age.
That ack-to-the:farm longing al
ways seems more intense after the
crops have all been harvested.
The idiot who imagines that he can
understand the woman who keeps her
husband guessing is In for jolt.
It is possible to know what you are
talking about and still not be able to
make the other fellow comprehend.

Two Crimean veterans, probably the

The agricultural department at
Washington has published complete
reports on the caloric value of every
known article of food. For instance,
a pound of pure lard would supply all
the calories that 20O-pound individ-
ual would need in "a hours.
The law prohibiting the importation
into France Of foreign postage stamps
has now been extended to apply to the
stamps Of France itself. The reason
for this Is that some 100000 unused
French stamps have been stolen by
the Germans from post offices In the
invaded part Of France, and it Is de-
sired to destroy their value to their
present holders.
Discussing the democratizing influ-
ence Of the war in the Taiyo Maya
zine, Koson Asada, well-known pub
licist, says that Japan cannot expect
to keep clear of the tremendous
changes that are affecting the world.
He adds: 'The development Of polit-
ical parties and of the press have been
most noticeable since the Russo-Jap-
anese war, and this increased influ-
ence has gradually put the influence
Of clannism In the shade"

For Amy there was the lovely pic

she had admired. Bob had remember

he had glued tiny pine cones, pieces of

his fnther and mother.
"Why not make 'em somethIng?" was
the thought that came to him.
Bob jumped up and went home whis-
tling through the woods. Under the
pine trees he stopped and brushed
away the snow. When he got through
his pockets We're full Of dried pine
cones, large and small, and some pieces

"Tll do it If he will :" cried Bob
eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried
into the woodshed with wrigeling
little puppy under his coat. OF course
he had to tell his mother about that.
And how Bob did enjoy the secret, run
ming to and fro with milk and scraps
of meat for the puppy!
When Christmas morning dawned I
think Bob Stillwell was the most sur
priSed boy in Little River. He was so
interested in watching the pleasure of
his brothers and sister with the gifts
he had made with his own hands that
he stood smiling, forgetting to look ut
the tree for his own presents.
Look, Bobby; look!" screamed little
Peter.
Bob looked and turned pale with sur
prise. The grandest new sled, painted

THE ALLIES have started another
drive on the Flanders front and are
beating down the Germans at every
turn. 1t is one of the greatest
ofensives since the war began.
We are now beginning the fourth
year of the world war but the odds
are beginning to turn against the
Central Empires. Had Russia main
tanned her full fighting strength the
war might now be over. Russia has
forced England and France to bear
the brunt of the fighting, but with a
return of the fighting spirit to the
Russians and with the United States
now in the war short work will pro-

the war but in doing so this country
will have to make a great many

Washburn has given herself over
this week to the patriots, the mill
tant arm of our countrywide splendid
soldier boys of Co. d. 1t is well.
Nothing better serves to show the
real mettle and stamina of a COM
munity than it's efforts at doing
something proud and fine for others.
Washburn has always responded
nobly to any public appeal. She did
herself proud on Monday night. 1t
was demonstration and celebration
that was most impressive. Every
body in the city in some way par
ticipated, either for the banqet, the
program or the military ball. None
were left out, none shirked. The
presence OF the hundreds at the ball
park--was tribute, silent, Impress
i've, genuine.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
fhe People Themselves Are to Blame

|
| if They Do Not Have 1t.
| The story is told that at the time
Massachusetts was considering the
ratification of the federal constitu-
ion Samuel Adams. the noble pioneer
| Of American independence, was waver-
ing in his support. The mechanics and
workingmen of Boston called meet
| ing at the old Green Dragon tavern
and passed resolutions earnestly urg-
ing that the constitution be ratified
and adopted Those resolutions they
| put into the hands of brass founder
| to be delivered to Mr. Adams.
How many were present when
these resolutions were adopted?" ask
ed Adams.
more, sir. than the Green Dragon
would hold" said the sturdy mechanic.
"And where were the rest?"
"In the street." replied the brass
founder.
That casts a significant side light on
that crucial period when we were en-
gagged in the task of bringing strength
out of feebleness and order out Of
chaos by establishing national gov
eminent. What could be more inter-
esting than to see the mechanics of
Boston solemnly considering and dis
cussing the most remarkable docu-
ment, as it has been called, that any
body of men ever put forth? The
same serious and constant considera-
ton of matters Of public concern by
the same class of people is essential
to every hour of the existence of the
government.
1t is time that the responsibility for
bad men in office, for invisible gov
eminent" for venal and corrupt prac-
tees in public servants, be put upon
those whose neglect of duty enables
evil influences to control the election.
The better element is always in the
majority in every community and can
always control the situation if it de-
sires to do so. When things get insup-
portably bad and the people are thor
oughly aroused, how quickly are de-
sirable changes brought about! But
when the people seem to have disposed
of the particular condition that thus
arouses them they fall back into a
state Of indifference and let the SIMS
ter influences have the field again.
Truly. eternal vigilance is the price
Of good government We cannot find
or enjoy it through any other means.
Our blessed old republic was not fran
cd for luggards or towards. but for
brave men and women, ever and al
ways alive to the duties and Obliga-
tons that rest upon them as citizens

Ideas Are Dollars.

Some large business firms employ a
man whose sole duty it is to read ev-
cry trade journal. every technical pa
per or pamphlet and every magazine
in order to get new ideas about the
conduct of their business. Such infor-
nation is laid each day before the
heads of the various departments. who
in turn pass it down the line to men
under them and see that the new idea
is tested. By this means each worker
is kept in touch with what other men
are doing in his particular line. and SO
his personal efficiency is increased. Al
most everything can be done in man
ner a little better than the present
way. and modern business demands
to know and practice the best. Ideas
are dollars.
