to remind you

anyone In particular, but Just
to remind you
That crowned heads are a world
nuisance, but they often come in
handy in a card game.
That in many instances. nc
doubt, the exemption boards have
lived up to their names
That some men are ike a bass
drum; they are good for nothing
but to make a big noise.
That every man tell the truth
once in while, but to some Of
them it is an awful shock.
That the Prairie is entitled to
several weeks of Indian summer
this season, and is getting it.
That if you love your neighbor
as yourself, you won't have to
lie about him when he is dead.
That we know of a man who
never has an unkind word to say
of any person living. He's dead.
That there is surprising beauty
in the sunrise these gorgeous
September mornings. Had you
noticed it,
That a fellow dropped into our
shanty the other day and asked
who is boss of the household. Our
wife told him.
That among the rich it is in
compatibility of temper, but with
us human beings it is just a plain
family jar.
That a university statement
says, modern conditions demand
a new type of education" Sure,
but are we getting it,
That our sympathies go out to
the title-seeking American heir
esses during this war. The sus-
pense of waiting must be dread
full.
That everything said or done
against this government, means
Just that much more service for
our boys under arms. Get the
ideaq
That some people work because
It is natural and right, and others
because it's the only way to get
something to eat. Notice the diff
ferenee9
That there are entirely too
many traitors in this country
and, likewise, too many lamp
posts and three limbs not in use
This feeling is growing.
That we can't, for the life of |
Us, understand why pretty women
insist on flirting with homely men
when there are so many of us
handsome ones floating around.
That an unkind Photographer as
serts that the early milkman
catches a glimpse of a woman s
true complexion. All of us old
ducks get that-but,
Lord, we dassent tell.
That some of this conversation
talk listens like a Helen Gould
trying to explain to a tenement
mother how to raise her baby on
500 per month. It's fine-if the
800 was handy.
That the education of children |
IS far too important a thing to be
used for the satisfaction of any
1ne's personal prejudice, and the
remote and hottest corner Of hell |
S saved for those who do so use
i. II
That the government is entitled
o free newspaper space just like
t is entitled to free wheat, free
,asoline, free steel plate, free uni
orms for the soldiers, etc. The
My difference is, it has been ac-
to paying for the latter.
That "hOrse sense" prompts a
nan to drag the roads when they c
re soft, when the drag will
moOth the surface-that s what it |,

S to try to help the roads by'l :
Raging them after they are dry. =
That some commodities have .
Dubbed and some have trebled inl 8
rice, and, if the fellows who conf
.ol them had their way, they4 I,
-Ould have been doubled tenl
mes. Yet there are people who Il
re getting only a small per cent o
ore for their product than when 2
re war started. These people
