Let I'm the Truth As
The Quickest Means OF
~ Quieting German Lies

We predict we viii hear no more of
tho stories about Camp Custer.thai pro-
German propagandists have been crcu-
Iating with tie idea of carrying terror
10 the homes OF the men i'm training there
and interfering with draft work in the
future.
Reports have been spread that soldiers
"a Camp Custer were "shot az sunrise
for some military CRIME and tine effect
Of such story upon The thousands OF
homes represented there can bc easily
Imagined
other reports have had the boys inn
properly fed scautlly clothed sleeping in
icc-coId quarters the subjects of cruelty
from officers anything to cause worry
to parents 0f the lads in training
AS despcable as any of the false
stories circulated Systematically one
calculated 20 break the morale OF the men
themselves, TO the effect that the Eighty
fifth IS a depot division intimating that
its members viii never see service over
seas.
Everybody AT Camp custer KNOWS that
SERVICE Is what the soldiers there want
more than anything else and th.s he has
given the officers no little trouble and
concern
That the propaganda became effective
was due 10 a silly censorship placed up
on the newspaper correspondents. 10
which those who have been industrious
in the campaign of untruth We're able TO
point AS the barrier between the facts
they have alleged and their publicity
thru the columns of the press.
This censorship has now been lifted
and the correspondents are at liberty to
20 where they will. look where they will,
hear what they can hear and see what
they can see and print il all unless il per
tains TO the movement of troops. military
experiments and equipments, or matters
that must be withheld for strategic rea-
sons.
This step is directly in line with what
many heads of the nations involved in the
war have maintained against censor
shin that is so rigid as to defeat its very
purposes.
The greatest light in the world in any
cause, is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
It is easy to conceive of the things
that must be kept from the enemy, but
it is not easy to conceive Of a single hap
pening that should be kept from those
at home, nor to reason any other way
than that more harm than good must
result from keeping the people in ig-

Warning Refor. Command.

In bringing up my children l found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before I gave them strict
command Instead of saying Now 1t
is time to go to bed. Put away your
blocks at once" | would say: 1T is
nearly time to go to bed. Finish your
house first and then put away. your
blocks" In this way the children were
fully prepared to go, and there was
consequently no begging and no temp
tation for me to show my lack of firm,
ness by being persuaded to allow them
TO build 'just one more house."
Imagine mother In the midst of an
absorbing chapter being told by one In
higher authority to put down her book
at once and go to bed. Would it not
save frown of impotence to be told
to finish the chapter first ?-.Harper's

it still means in TRUTH it has become
so weakened by usage that it conveys
no force Whatever.
You meet men on the street and say,
ut is a very fine day., What do you
mean? Probably you mean, How do
you do?" What you have said is sim
ply a salutation. But If you should
say to me, 1T is fine day." you prob
ably mean it is fine day. That little
word very" has been so weakened, so
frayed at the edges, that it harms
rather than helps it's companions
So, gentle reader. would say to you
if l had arbitrary power over your
speech, This week l will allow YOU
only two 'yeries, and. though for a
time such restraint may make you self
conscious, yet it will force you to grope
about for musty treasures in the store

old adjectives and adverbs. even drive
you NOW and again to a careful ap.
praisal of your best slang. and when
this temporary self consciousness shall
pass not only your vigOr of speech, but
your eXactitude and clarity of thought
will be the better for it. That is a gain
that will be worth all the sacrifice

A Mummy'a Doll.

Among the ancient objects exhibited
In the British museum is a doll more
than 5000 years old. When some ar
chaeologists were exploring an ancient
Egyptian royal tomb they came upon
sarcophagus containing the mummy
OF little princess seven years old.
She was dressed and inferred In q
manner BETTING her rank, and In her
arms was found little wooden doll
The inscription gave the name, rank
and age Of the little girl and the date
OF her death, but 1t said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian doll
This, however, told its own story. II
was so tightly clasped in the arms OF
the mummy that it was evident that
the child had died with her beloved

A member of the New York supreme
court, reproving New York firm of
architects for canceIing an agreement,
says. Authorities unanimously agree
that there is scarcely any relation in
life which calls for more absolute good
faith than the relation Of partners"
Also, "a purer and more elevated
morality is demanded of partners than
the common morality of the trade .
The meaning is that an individual who
transacts business for himself may
look out solely for himself. while a
partner must never consider his own
advantage apart from that of his asso-
