 We regret to say that we have a few disloyal citizens in and near our community They have been air ing their opinions quite freely. that Germany would soon clean up the United States. In addition the trait orous hope that America would get tine licking she deserves. It is the duty of all patriotic Americans to see that this kind of talk reaches the proper authorities so that the may see the inside of a prison pen. If America is not con- genial to them. let them hit the hike for Germany. It will be our gain even if the Kaiser loses.

sprInatIme and Wartime.

These are large days. They bring such a quietness and peacefulness of mind that we cannot help but ask Why IS 1t that so many people are being murdered in Europe when there are so many good and beauti- full things in this world to appreci- ate and make us happy?" It is a question that no one can answer of course, but there is one, when it comes to mentioning about the spring days, the weather, the farm, etc. that we should be able to an-
 wer some of us anyway and espe- cially those who have to foot big grocery bills in cities Why, we ask, is it that so many people can be contented to live crowded lives in cities when the farm, the country and the simple life bring so many calm joys that no wealth known could buy? We can answer this question and many will do it, if the high cost of living continues to soar skyward.

We Are Indeed Lucky.

Hatfield people have long had many things to feel thankful for, but the one most appreciated now is that she has not single citizen that is unpatriotic and unwilling to support the American flag anywhere it goes. True, we had some four or five Ger man sympathizers for a while, but the minute the United States de- clared war against prussian Ger many they quickly change and be- came as patriotic as any of the rest. And it must be said in justice to truth that up until war was declared that there were many Americans, even, who were anxious to see Ger many win. but when their own country became involved, it was a horse with a different color they were for Uncle Sam.

The Cook Stove and the Tango in q
 New Role.

tNt VI AtVAt~
 If girl viii learn to dance the tango and the turkey trot gracefully she can easily lead her ideal beau to the marriage altar, and if she can learn to cook good she can keep him after she gets him there, so says Dorthy Dix, the highest paid woman writer in the world But that's just where the rub comes. Most mothers wont stand for this kind Of pleasure, and most girls wont learn to cook we'll So there you are. Hence only q few girls ever marry well. Under these circumstances we wonder If some movement could not be started that would give our danceless girls all the pleasurable exercises that are experienced in performing the tur- key trol How about chick chasing for instance2 it is a good exercise as well as profitable. As to cooking, if girl was Co marry now and her biscuits were soggy and pale she could get out on the pretense that war was on and she was saving lard, soda. etc Nou know economy is such big word with most men now that they will eat anything rather than see a penny wasted, and in this way girls that are engaged now could marry and by persistent prac- tice learn to cook by the time war is over and their defects would nev- CT be detected. But you had better get busy, girls. for many boys will soon be going to the war.
