As yet no one has had that privilege?
What's the matter? The Printing Com

The lack of such branch to act as a

the backwardness of land-clearing.
The methods and tools which the early
settlers devised to hasten their work
and relieve their backs, were never re
corded. As a result, each newcomer
had to start, not at the point where
his predecessor had quit, but back at

MAN NOT CREATED TO BE

Tonight in the auditorium of the
high school Curtis NJ. Johnson will
address the people OF Madison and
vicinity on Service TO the Commu-

tice that he is to talk to the people

uble talker, forcing his arguments
and statements home by pure logic
and personal force.
Now, this talk is for everybody.
We have not talked with Mr.. Johnson
as 10 the subjects treated under the
head, but realize that everybody has
a duty toward the community. The
genus homo is a political animal and
gregarious-he cannot live except in
company of others of his kind, and
even in competition with them. A
man can hardly maintain himself
alone. 1t is by the trading of his
product for portions of the produce
of others that he is able to have the
necessities and comforts of our civil
ization. or of even life itself. TO do
this he must live with others of his
kind. and competition with them
but he must know how to live thus
with the least friction.
A state of belief has come into be
ing in which every trade or occupa-
tion looks with distrust and suspicion
upon any other trade or occupation.
Combinations of one class for their
mutual help or betterment are on
demned by all other classes. Mer-
chants. workmen. stockmen or farm
ers my or all banded together in
their several occupations. call down
the wrath of the others as combina-
lions directed against themselves
personally and collectively.
The purpose of Mr.. Johnson's re-
marks tonight is to remove any such
illusions. Or. if the situation as
stated. is one of combination against
the welfare of another class, TO adj

OLD WEAPON FOUND
RRASS EIREARN LOOKS OLD
FLOWED UP THIS WEfk
NEAR CITY.

While blowing up a previously uh-
used spot on his premises in the
southwest part of town early TINS
week. Fred Gimple unearthed a brass
weapon of ancient pattern. Today
he was exhibiting il in town, basing
its value upon that Of the worth OF
the metal contained in it.
The instrument is a firearm, OF
brass. the barrel about Is inches
long. octagonal in shape near the
breech. but tapering in machlned
work toward the muzzle. The barrel
terminates in something of an or
nate bell, machined like that portion
of the barrel adjacent to 1t. the
bore is smooth and wider at the
mouth than at the breech, and nearly
as large as a nickel.
The weapon has lain in the ground
so long that the wooden portions OF
the stock are wholly rotted away
The iron work Of which the breech
block and percussion nipple are made
are rusted deeply. The whole ap-
~pearance is that of a very ancient
weapon-but one feature alone re-
deems it from any very remote pc
Rod, which is that u was fllteu III
firing with a percussion cap. Guns
for use of soldiers were fired by
either matches or flintlocks previous
to the war with Mexico. The piece
under discussion must have been
made either after that period, or re-
modelled and m~oderniZed of a wea-
pom made previously.
Some indistinct letters are sunk in
small plaques in the side Of the bar
rel. One is an inverted b followed
by a monogram of a recumbent CP.
The other is again the reversed b
with a lazy V. as the cowmen would
describe it. Neither mark tells us
anything, but from descriptions read
and illustrations seen of firearms, it
resembles the old Spanish blunder-
buss in many respects.

our children must face.
A message was received today by
local banks stating in red-hot figures
Just what we must do. It's no yoke.
It's getting to where jokes will stale.
This is where we're at. Lake county
is expected to raise $500, 900 for the
liberty loan. It's going to be got!
If it isn't gotten in one way it will
be in another-it will be gotten, for
the government says so.
The loan amounts to $4,000. 000.-
600. The banking resources of the
country is set at about $4,000. 600
600, and the loan is nearly 6 per cent
of that amount. The banking re-
sources of Lake county is. roughly,
$500, 600. of which 6 per cent is
about $500. 900, which is the estimat-
ed apportionment that will be raised
i'm this county by June Is.
This loan is for the people. The
banks themselves are allowed to par
ticipate in il to a very limited extent
only. The liberal features allow OF
2 per cent paid down as earnest, and
the rest on receipt of the bond.
Something has been said and re
peated to the effect that the banks
must get a good thing out of this
or they would not be urging il SO
hard. Yes. they are. They are do
ing more than any other business
represented in the cities, and with
less hope of any return. They are
