division of men. | pledge my devotion
and support to the Flag and to what
ever party or administration is in au-

efforts to defend the nation. | shall

supreme question of national defense
and the maintenance of law and con-
stitutional authority. Whenever it

devotion to the national welfare and

Uses For Alcohol.

Speaking Of the little known uses of
alcohol, a recent writer says that few
men who wear the so called derby"
hat know that its stiffness is due to
a gum that is dissolved in alcohol
Transparent soap owes its Transparent
cy to alcohol. The increasing demand
for leather and the inability of the
market to meet this demand from nat
uraI sources have led to the produc
ton Of artificial substitutes for the ma
terial. These are possible through the
use of alcohol. The same is to be said
of the artificial silk that now finds a
large and increasing SALE Alcohol is
a practically indispensable servant in
the varnish used On woodwork. 1t is
used in preservatives, in disinfectants.

is in the manufacture of smokeless

Sirius and the Dog Days.

The dog days are reckoned about
forty and are set down in the almanac
as beginning on July 8 and ending Aug
II. In the time Of the ancient astron
omers the remarkable star Sirius. call
ed also Canicula, or the dog star, rose
heliacally-that is, just before the sun
about the beginning of July, and the
sultry heat which usually prevails at
that season. with all its disagreed BILE
effects, among which the tendency Of
dogs to become mad is not one Of the
least disagreeable, was ascribed to the
malignant rays Of the star. Owing to
the procession Of the equinoxes the
heliacal rising Of Sirius now takes
place later in the year and in cooler
season, so that the dog days. have
not now that relation to the particular
position Of the dog star from which
they obtained their name.

The Good Old Mustard Plaster.

There was day when no well regu-
lated home in the state was without
a mustard plaster or the "makings" Of
one. 1t had its own place in the house,
just as the smoking tobacco or the
green coffee had.
For years Kansas kept house and
broke the prairies, subdued the Indians
and wasted the buffalo on quinine and
mustard plasters. Many times the
mustard plaster stopped the lager
when quinine wouldn't phase it.
In those good old days, when every
ache In the back anywhere between
the neck and the hips was called "lum-
bago" and every other pain was called
the 'old fashioned colic," mustard plas-
ter served as the family physician. 1t
was applied to the earache in children
and to the rheumatism in fathers arm.

African Elephants.

Nearly every one has seen an ele-
plant, and nearly every one imagines
he knows what one looks like. But
this popular impression and most Of
the beliefs about the elephant are err
roneous
In the first place. the elephants we
see here in America are Indian ele-
plants. They are understood. even the
largest of them.

nearly three times the size Of Jumbo.
which was the largest elephant ever
brought to America. II have" said a
hunter, shot several specimens which
stood over thirteen feet and which
weighed at least twice as much as
Jumbo.
Next to the monkey, 1.-The elephant is
the wisest and most intelligent of all
animals. I am not saying this of the
domesticated Indian elephant, but Of

Chexrons of Honor.

The French are quick to bestow SYM
bols Of honor on soldiers who perform
deeds Of self sacrifice or daring More
than any other Of the allies, perhaps.
they recognize the value Of emblems
of service.
Among the many neat little marks
upon the French uniforms that indi-
cate the rank and the department Of
the wearer, says Sir A. Conan Doyle
In "a Visit to Three Fronts there
was one that puzzled me. 1t was to
be found on the left sleeve of men of
all ranks, from generals to privates.
and it consisted of small gold chevrons,
one, two or more. No rule seemed to
regulate them, for the general might
have none, and I have heard of pri-
vate who wore ten.
Suddenly solved the mystery. The
marks are the record of wounds re-
ceived! By this admirable little de-
vice the French allay the smart Of
wound and make it bring lasting honor
to the man among his fellows.

SOLICITORS for the Farmers Non
partisan League are canvasslng the
state and securing two year member
ships on payment of $1,000. The move
ment is an overflow from North Da-
kota where this new political party
captured the elective state officers and
state senate at the last election on
platform strongly socialistic. We be-
lieve Wisconsin farmers ought to be
fully informed as to the character OF
the movement they are tying up to
and take heed that they are not mlsled
into helping spread poison they Will
regret later. Recently N. ID. elected
a new congressman to fill vacancy IN
which J. M. Baer the candidate Of the
Farmers Non partizan League won by
a large majority. Here is part OF
the platform on which Baer was elect
ed: "We demand that our government
befor proceeding further In support OF
our European allies, insist that they, IN
common with it, make immediate pub
lie declaration of terms of peace with
out annexation of territory, indemni-
ties, contributions or interference, with
the right of any nation to live and
manage its own affairs. TO conscript
men and exempt the blood-stained
wealth coined from the sufferings of
humanity is repugnant to the spirit OF
America and contrary to the ideals OF
democracy. We declare freedom OF
speech to be the bulwork of human
liberty, and we decry all attempts to
muzzle the public press or individuals
upon any pretext whatever. A declar-
alton of war does not repeal the con-
stitution of the u. S. and the unwar-
ranted interference of military and
other authorities with the right of in
dividuals must cease" This platform
is so un- American and unpatriotic and
so strongly at variance with the war
aims of the administration that all
loyal citizens should be ashamed to be
a member of movement making a dec
Iaration of such principles.

Duty of Americans Outlined.

Three thousand citizens of Burling-
ton and vicinity heard Gov. Philip
give his conception of the duty of
American citizens at the celebration
which accompanied the laying of the
cornerstone of the new post office last
week:
ga man cannot be citizen of two
countries" declared the governor.
''He must at this critical time be either
with us or against US. He is for the
United States or he is not.
1.-The true American will not hesitate
to declare himself. At this time we
must not disrupt friendships by charg-
ing men with disloyalty unless we
know the facts. We must fight the
enemy and we must all stand together.
At the same time no punishment is too
severe for the man or woman who is
disloyal
There may have been some parad-
ing of before the war patriots, but that
will disappear in time. Sincerity in
our patriotism is wanted now.
$50 far as citizenship is concerned
it cannot be confined to any race.
There are just as good Americans
among those who landed at Castle Gar
den as there were among those who
landed at Plymouth Rock. We should
not forget this Men of foreign birth
and their sons are fighting our battles
for us, and we should respect them for
it,
Discussing the pacifsts he said:
''All our citizens desire peace, and I
will join any person praying for peace,
but it must be an American peace.
Among those who make up the peace
advocates who tried to hold conven-
ton in Wisconsin there are few good
but misguided persons. The rest are
agitators who like to hear themselves
talk. They can do no good for the
country at this time, and I opposed
their meeting here because / believed
it would disturb the peace of the
state"
