This is the month Of April and the
item readers who perue this mis-.
sive may think the contents intended
for an "April.Fool," however, we
shall try to couch our words in such
language as TO express the intended
meaning.

ton. explained by the fact that
Americans are prepared to face
these crisises and will continue
to face them as steadily as other
nations have done. Unless all
signs fail, We have reached the
beginning Of the end in the
worlds greatest tragedy. Tur-
key is practically beaten; Aus
tria is almost impotent; Ger
many is retreating, and her sub
marine and Zeppelin methods Of
warfare are practical failure.
Not a few well informed author
tiles maintain that Germany is
anxious to end the war, and ri.
mors of peace are once more in
the air, while evidences of grave
internal dissentions among the
Central Powers multiply daily.
At the same time the Allies are
increasing their ascendancy ev-
cry day. Great Britain is at the
zenith of her power; Russia has
been invigoratei by the revolu.
ton; the French spirit is higher
and stronger than ever and Italy
too, seems TO nave taken on new
energy. OF course, Germany
may be able to maintain I h e
struggle longer than expected
but only at the cost of more ser.
ious consequences to herself; and
the entry of the United States
into the war will certainly hasten
the end.

IF Miss Della Scott and Francis Phelps,

of Miss Della Scott and Francis Phelps,
we made mistake which we hereby
correct. There are two young ladies
by the name of Scott, Misses Della
and Daisy. The one that married was
Miss Daisy while Miss Della, one OF
the enterprising teachers who is now
teaching school at Oak Grove, is yet
enjoying the realm of 'blessed-single-
ness" As an apology for such q ludi-
crou. blunder we simply confess that
correspondents similar to editors and
devils are liable to make mistakes.
We noticed in a recent issue Of the
Record Press very interesting COM
munication from our Wesleyan Meth
oiist friend, W. j. Hill, which we
have read and re-read with s onsider-
able satisfaction. The valuable inter-
est that we took in said article and the
lasting impression made on our minds
cause US to conclude thus: When the
time comes that Billy Joel Hill no long,
er mingles with the things of earth
and the frail thread of life shall be
broken, and his pure spirit like bright
winged bird takes its flight to that
bourne from whence no traveller ever
returns, the memory of his devotion
and his earnest services to the cause
of Christianity will be imperishable.
Then those of US who yet survive may
more fully realize the unmistakable
meaning of the paragraph found in
Holy Writ which reads: Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their lsbours; and
their works do follow them Revela-
tons 1913.
We elso observed in a later issue Of
the same paper very lengthy article
which was written by our ''old-time"
friend Mrs. E. L. Newcom, hailing
from Portales, New Mexico, in which
she very courteously reciprocates the
sentiments expressed by friend Hill in
his memorable epistle. While we were
really pleased to read the communica'
ton from Mrs. Newcom, We must con-
TESS that from the life and vim of ex-
pressions contained in said article we
could readily see that they were writ
ten by Kentuckian.
While our motto is Peace on earth
and good will toward all mankind" and
one of the irrevocable laws Of Puri-
tan home was that no fault finding
or complaining Of neighbors or friends
would be tolerated." We fear the in
junction is too often digressed from.
Blackboard. similar to a number Of 9th
er habitable villages, is somewhat ad-
dicted to gossip. and wheu the gossip
ere ball begins to roll, round and
round it goes, growing larger at each
revolution, Remember the evils of
the often repeated remark. they
say" etc, which when investigated is
very often found to be groundless.
As a matter of fact, it is far better ia
make our lives consistent with our pro-
fession, and especially those who
have their names on the church book J
strictly guard against the too liberal
use Of that unruly member, the tongue.
Every idle word tnat men shall ssesk

Palisade Red Cross
Fine Demonstration
Continued from page -

garded as necessary in order to
awaken the people at home to the
terrible necessities facing us. The
speaker was roundly applauded when
he finished. He said we should be-
ware of the man who calls himself a
German-American. There is no such
person possible, he said.
Mayor Kissel, of Edgewater, was
next introduced He said he was no
speaker, yet he made very stirring
appeal telling of the simple facts
connected with the Red Cross chapter
in Edgewater. He was now after
branches, having recently organized
others in Cliffside, Fairview and Fort
Lee. He looked to see Palisade do
good work. Mayor Kissel made a
special plea for men to aid the wo-
men. He cited his own case, where in
connection with Mayor White and
Mayor Cadien he had been at work
for weeks passing upon exemptions,
which had forced him to take almost
all of his time from his own, personal
business. Mayor Kissel made very
feeling and interesting talk, and one
that made fine impression. There
is sometimes rugged eloquence in
simplicity.
The election for Red Cross officers
then took place, with the following
result:
President, Mrs. John R. Bradshaw;
vice-president, Mrs. George E.
Clark; secretary, Mrs. John R. Craw-
ford; treasurer, Mrs. w. r. Good
mann. Mr.. V. B. Kelly suggested
that captains be selected for can
h. 81
members. C. T. Logan suggested
that time could be saved by taking
down names there, and Immediately
number were enrolled, and consid-
cradle money handed in. Mr.. Ballard
took life membership at $25.
The meeting as whole was not
only interesting and earnest, but
valuable. The stage had been decor
rated in flags and Red Cross hang
ers, and presented very attractive
appearance.
An agreeable surprise during the
evening, and right in the midst of
Rev. Montgomery's address. A drum
and fife corps was heard in the dis
lance. 1t came nearer and nearer,
until finally Mr.. Logan announced
that it was the Fort Lee soldier boys
OF company A, Home Defense
Guards. Captain John V. McCurry
was in command, aided by Lieut..
James D. Moore. There were sixty
two men in the ranks. They marched
into the auditorium of the school in
double file, came to halt, COVE the
military salute, got a volley of in
tense applause, and marched out
again and back to Fort Lee. Every
man was in full uniform. The Incl
dent was the result Of a telephone
conservation just before the meeting
between the "Palisadian" and Lieut..
James Moore. When the latter said
he would have his company out, he
was asked to bring the boys down,
which he assented to. No pleasanter
incident was ever noted in Palisade.
Rev. Mr.. Montgomery alluded most
feelingly to the visit Of the Fort Lee
boys.
