Bad Luck

Jack Tumble was an acrobat.
A good one, too, tits said;
He'd take his foot, while living fat
And gently scratch his head.
But one bad day he broke his leg.

The times are very hard for Jack,
He can't make both ends meet.

The most effective time to fight IL
before the enemy is ready. Why not
open a swatting campaign before the
fly is ready? That would give q strate-
gic advantage which would keep the
pest in check. s. 81.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than a ffyless COM
munity. OF course, it IS hardly posi-
bae to eliminate all flies, but expert
ments have shown that flies can be
eliminated to such an extent that they
will be hardly noticeable.
Flies breed in manure and other ami
NAL and vegetable waste. BY eliminat-
ing these breeding places or by treat
ing them with substances which Will
kill the fly larvae. flies can be almost
entirely eliminated from any farm or
community.
BY starting early, any community
can practically eliminate the fy null
sance but if the fly is given an oppor'
tunity to propagate, determination is
well-pigh impossible. The trouble with
most anti-fy campaigns is that they
are not started until the flies beglr
to give trouble. Then it is too late 1ol
effective work.

Self-Heip and Helping Others.

Every man and woman in the land
ought to prize above almost every 9TH
er quality the capacity for self-help;
and yet every man and woman in the
land will at some time or other be
sorely in need of the help of others.
and at some time or other will find
that he or she can in turn give help
even to the strongest. The quality of
self-help is so splendid a quality that
nothing can compensate for it's loss :
yet, like every virtue, 1t can be twist
ed into fault to the point of cold
hearted arrogance, Of inability to IN
derstand that now and then the
strongest may be in need of aid,> and
that for this reason alone, If for no
other, the strong should always be
glad Of the chance in turn to aid the
weak.-Theocore Roosevelt.

Wilson in his address delivered be-
fore joint session Of congress Tues
day afternoon. urged immediate dec
laration of war on Austria-Hungary.
He said he did not believe war
with Turkey and Bulgaria necessary.
as yet, because those nations do not
stand in the direct path of necessary
American action.
Immediate war against Austria. even
though she only be Germany's vas
sal and not her own mistress, the
President declared. was necessary
because the Teuton powers must be
considered as one and because the
war can be conducted successfully IN
no other way.
Will Go Where War Carries Us.
Giving q plain warning, however,
that he would not hesitate to ask FOR
declaration Of war on Turkey aud
Bulgaria when he considered it neces-
sary, the President said:
eve shall go wherever the neces-
sites of this war carry us, but it
seems to me that we should go only
where immediate and practical consid-
Grafton lead us and not heed any
others"
Peace, the President told Congress,

tary autocracy is beaten down, when
the German people make peace with
tile world through rulers the world can
trust, when they make reparation for
the wrongs their present rulers have
done and when the enslaved people

FOR STAMP BILL
Topeka Merchants Talk Over
Premium Problem Again.
Majority Favor Law Requiring
Firms to Pay License.

A committee of representatives of
the different business interests OF To-
peka met at the Chamber of Commerce
today at noon for further discussion
of the trading stamp problem. No
definite action was taken at the meet
ing today which was again presided
over by A. L. Olliger, of Emporia, sec
rotary of the Kansas state Legislative
league.
Informal discussion developed the
fact that Topeka merchants are al
most unanimously against the trading
stamp evil and in favor of the law
agitated in the state of Washington
imposing an annual license tax of
$4,000 upon any firm giving premium
stamps. The same act will be pre-
scented in both houses of the Kansas
legislature soon.
Further action will be taken in the
near future and it is probable that
the board of directors and president of
the Chamber of Commerce will pass
resolutions in favor of restrictive legiS-
lation against the evil.

mittee who met today: Fred Noiland,

down the corridor of the Shawnee
county court house today.
You had better lookout or they'll
steal you blind down here" said one
to the other suddenly.
A reporter, lurking near, pricked up
MS ears. 1t sounded like someone had

Sheriffs door,
Were you robbed here in the court
house? ?" he asked.
Robbed" she screamed, well, l
should say I was. Say. do you know
the sanitary officer well, 1 guess 1
do, and I'll give him your name.
They're trying TO dump some more
kids in a new orphans home out our
way. 1 tell you it won't be done"
1t was too much. The reporter was
beating q rapid retreat toward the
office of Probate Judge Cav. In
quiries revealed that the woman Was
undergoing a sanity investigation and
was enjoying a recess during the trial.
