We wonder who's kissing her now?
We read in the dispatches that a
southern girl is suing a country ed
itor for $40, 900 damages in a breach
of promise action. We can't believe
it. however. There is no southern
girl but who knows that no country
editor has $4,000.
The country is hero-hungry. all
right, but there are apparently 1000
men who would rather figure as a
live scuIlion for every one who hank
ers TO star as a dead hero.
OF course, Oscar Gilbert is game
TO go 10 the front anytime he is call
ed. He was summoned TO the court
house the other day in order that his
dimensions could be registered and
sent 10 the war office. He didn't
fall for it, however. He got his
brother 10 go in his place. and is
now convinced that the joke is on
somebody else.
Pres't Wilson has himself called
for 10000 men for the regular army,
but our advice to him is to shut off
the proclamations and turn on the
draft if he wants armies.
Uncle Sam has astounded John
Bull and the rest of the world by his
dexterity in getting his four contin-
gents on French soil. We trust
John is now thoroughly convinced
that his Uncle Samuel is all that he
has claimed for himself since the
Garden of Eden episode.
The Lord never sent an affliction
on Mishawaka He didn't lift, and in
His own good time He will sweep
out the political heelhies that so
sOrely anoy the people.
It isn't what a woman has TO do
or the circumstances she must travel
that worries her. 1t is what TO wear
when she is going to do something
or going somewhere.
Well depart from our melancholy
mood long enough to convey 10 Mr..
and Mrs. w b. Hosford our congrat-
ulations on the occasion of their
golden wedding. There are few
people in the community more high
ly respected, and their married years
OF bliss will doubtless serve as a
stimulus 10 many 10 go on living
even if they be married.
The Lord must have valued the
frying pan above all other cooking
utensils, because more people know
how 10 use it and more people like
the provender that is cooked in it.
The country can now say: I'VE
have the bonds TO equip and main
tain the army; we have put up
500, 100000 10 nurse and care for
the sick and wounded. Where are
the armies?"
Sergt. Phelan, formerly Of the
Mishawaka preparedness brigade,
has enlisted in the army as a full
private. We HAD thought If Walter
was we'll enough versed in military
tactics to hold the rank Of sergeant
in Mishawaka, ne ought at least TO
have had a generalship in the regu-
lars. We note with pleasure that
out Of 80 TO whom we fed coffee and
hard tack, q have enlisted and are
now distributed throughout the va
rious camps in the country.
II isn't a mans heart that Is In
danger in the presence Of a beauti
ful woman. It's his head he needs
TO look after.
Anne Rittenhouse says: zone
thing that ought 70 be remem bered
is that a swagger stick must be
carried swaggerly or not at all"
Why not have all the girls who are
not concerned in the duties OF pa
triotism or home take swagger les
sons? We believe the pinhead ele-
ment of masculinity can always be
impressed by swagger stick excel
lence.
The proper attitude OF a man to-
ward woman is not a very compli-
Gated affair The fellow who ad-
mires her if she's beautiful. honors
her If she is a mother, respects her
If she works has sym uatbv for bar
If she is in distress. and pities her If
she stumbles. is in a fair way 10 be
come a gentleman.
A considerate man is one who
writes 10 his wife in the mountains
or at some Of the Michigan lakes
that he is miserable and lonely. II
enables her 10 feel that her absence
makes itself felt at home. And If
