odd Inconsistencies of English

The English is regarded as one of
the most difficult of the modern lang
uages to learn and no wonder, for it is
so full Of inconsistencies and there
are so many exceptions to the rules
which apply to spelling words and
constructing sentences. Children who
grow up among people who speak
English naturally learn to use it as
well as their elders, just as they would
learn any other language under SINH
lar circumstances, but it is bristling
with so many difficulties and perplexi-
ties for the foreigner that it is only by
the most patient and earnest hard
work that he can learn to use it intel
ligently.
One of the most difficult features
from the standpoint of foreigners is
the irregular formation of plurals.
For instance, one would naturally as
sumo that as the plural of imam" is
"men" the plural of "pan" would be
"pen" Similarly, geese" is the
plural of goose" but the plural Of
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1917-10-03

moose" is not "meese" as might be
expected nor is the plural Of "house"
"hice", though that Of mouse" is
mice" We say "teeth" when we re-
fer TO more than a single "tooth" but
we may not say "beeth" when we
speak Of more than one "booth."
Other common words that are irregu-
larly pluralized and consequently a
source of trouble for those unfamiliar
with the language are "box" and "ox",
thief and grief, nouns ending in 80"
etc.
Another confusing feature is that
frequently two or more words, though
spelled differently are pronounced the
same. The following are familiar ex-
amples: gnu, new and knew; corps,
core; aye, eye, L; all, awl; son, sun;
write, rite, right, wright; bell, belle;
rode, road; pair, pear, pare; great,
CRATE; ate, eight; to, two, too; so,
sow, sew; sleigh, slay; etc.
Many other words cause trouble in
the opposite way; that is, they are
spelled similarly but given a different
pronunciation. For example, laugh
ter" is quite different from "slaught-
err" or daughter, though from their
spelling you would expect them to be
pronounced similarly; the "oughv in
"cough" is given sound quite differ
ent from the cough" in enough, and

That illustrates it. Contempt al
ways. No respect for anyone else;
nothing that is not German is per-
missible. IL is this brutal egotism
which has led Germany into the trap
in which she now finds herself in
closed. This egotism has got to be
broken, and it will take time and suf-
fering to bring the change about.
The allies are doing more for the
real interests of the German people
now than the warlords ever did. The
Prussian league Of infamy is going
to be annihilated, and after 1t is
swept away the people Of Germany
may have chance to establish a new
Germany, which will be free like the
rest Of Christendom. German "kul-
tur" will be cast on the scrap-heap,
along with the whole Hohenzollern
outfit; those things which are good in
the German system will be retained
and made use of, but the bad things
will be rejected.
Germans everywhere must readjust
their minds to this fate; Providence
is no longer favoring the Prussian
plans. The warlords in their insane
obsession thought that nobody but
Germany could play the war game;
their scheme was to have Germany
enjoy a monopoly of militarism-but
the huge SNOWFALL which they rolled
up to crush their neighbors has got
beyond them and it is rolling back on
them and producing an avalanche
from which they cannot escape.
Ii is sad to see any human beings
suffer as the Germans must now suf-
fer-but they have brought suffering
on all the rest of the world and now
they must be sacrificed in order that
they may realize their wickedness
and that they can never again make
war on the world. If they have any
lingering sense they will make peace
before all is lost, but if they remain
headstrong and insolent they will
have to be utterly wiped out. They
have had their innings, and now civ
ilization is going to bat. And the
impartial Umpire will see that JUS
tice is done.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS


Baldwin.-Dell Watkins called at
the Herald-C Clarion Office last week
and left sample Of buns, which he
received from recent visit at the
Leverentz farm, three and one-half
miles northwest of Baldwin. Mr..
Watkins says Mr.. Leverentz receives
foodstuffs from Chicago by the ton,
including whole loaves of bread,
cookies, cakes, buns, ETC., for which
he pays ten sum of two cents per ID.
The food arrives in such large
quantities that sixty hogs cannot con-
sumo it. At the present prices Of
this kind of eatables it is time that
the food commissioner of Illinois got
busy, as this is probably a waste
from only small corner of Chicago.

Dog Had The Rabies

Howard City.-A pet dog belonging
to Will Schalow, of Winfield it AL
bert, the eldest son of Charles Scha-
low, twice on Tuesday of last week
and later attacked Dot Erwin, the
latter residing in Mecosta county.
Although it seemed certain that the
dog was not mad, the children were
ter the dog had been shot and the
animals head taken to Ann Arbor
for examination. The experts there
pronounced that the dog had been suf-
fering from rabies. Every precaution
is being used with the children and it
is thought that both will recover all
right.
There are too many useless dogs
running loose everywhere.

Crowded City

Hastings. Battle Creek is

blessing it may prove to be a curse.
With an additional 10000 to 10000
huskies turned loose at Camp Custer
on Saturday and Sunday or even a
quarter or third of the number the
streets of our neighbor will hardly af-
ford standing room. The "boom"
seems to have faded; the actual
realities are upon them, and it may
take many months to get things run
ming smoothly. One blessing is that
the curse of liquor is eliminated.

Something New

Cedar Springs.-The Clipper has
been thinking of writing up the next
marriage something like this, or the
way they do over at Oshkosh, with
an eye to advertising. A writeup
like this: "Miss Jenny Jones and Rob
Henry were married at the Jones
mansion last night. The bride is a
daughter of our Constable Jones, who
has made a good officer and will un-
doubtedly be reelected next spring.
He offers a fine horse for sale in an
other column. The groom runs IA
grocery store on. Main street and is a
good patron of our ad columns and
has got a new line of bargains this
week. All summer he has paid two
cents more for butter than any other
store in town. The happy couple left
on the ten o'clock train for Milwau-
kee to visit the brides uncle, who is
reported to have lots of money and
Bright'S disease. Bob certainly hay
an eye for business"

Faculty Had Good Time

Sparta.-The editor of the Senti-

joined not to appear at the front door
of his home at supper time Wednes-
day night because the house would be
filled with school ma'ams and school
masters, it being the occasion of the
regular faculty party. The members
of the faculty dated themselves back
chow far?) to sixteen and dressed ac-
cordingly. So to all appearances it
was group of school children gath
cred for a good time. And good
time they had. Certain sounds in
dicative of pain induced the city ply
stefan to drop around and the cat gave
way to overweight nerves and fled
from the house. Bread and milk and
baked potatoes were served with 9TH
err trimmings and entertainment was
provided by making life books for
each one present. The hostesses were
Misses Morrison and Maurine Holmes.
Altogether it may be said there
hain't been no more grammatical
gathering in this here town for

one on duty at the hour, except the

room; but in few minutes he came
back and said:

words of this kind are howl and bowl;
