The Ship of State

Thou, too, sail on, 0 Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fateI
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of
steel,
What made each mast, and sail, and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock!
IT'S but the tapping Of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite OF false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the seal
Our hearts, our hopes are all with
thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears
Are all with thee-are all with thee!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

The town of Cotton is advertis-
ing, or arranging to do so, for a
lot of paving of the streets of
that little city. This causes the
Palouse Republic to thus COM
ment: This is progress along
the right line. The town that
has the disposition to make i'm
provements within itself, will at
tract people and money from the
outside. On the other hand, if
no disposition is shown by the
local people to advance their COM
munity, the outside world is not
going to come to the rescue"

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1917

Cottonwood will probably face
the most critical time in her his
tory within the next two years
and her future welfare and sta
bility depends largely upon the
action of her citizens during this
period. There are occasionally
matters affecting a towns well
fare materially that are yet too
uncertain to be called to the at
tention of the public but which
are still strong possibilities. The
citizen who does not happen to
be posted on these matters and
does not desire to make a wrong
step might do we'll to get a little
inside information before taking
too decided a stand on questions
of a community nature.

The following is credited to a
Missouri editor but it will apply
equally we'll in the west: THE
wind bloweth, the water foweth,

that we are in need of our dues.
So come a-runnin' ere we go a.
gunnin'! This thing of dunnin'
gives us the blues!'

THOSE SUDDEN CHANGES

He knew she had heart of ice,
And yet he sought to win it;
He thought it would be cool anc
nice
In summer, could he be in it;
But a woman loves a man to fool
AS he found when he got her;
For, instead of keeping cool,
She kept him in hot water.

keep his thoughts to himself.

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes
the Fee

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee," but as
everyone knows you can help Nature very
much and thereby enable it to effect a
cure in much less time than is usually
required. This is particularly true of
colds. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
relieves the lungs, liquifes the tough
mucous and aids in its expectoration, al
Jays the cough and aids Nature in restor-
ing the system to healthy condition.

Short Lived insects.

The wonderful brevity Of insect life
is curiously illustrated in the case OF
those that prey upon different species
of mushrooms. The life OF the musn-
room itself is measured by hours, yet
1t Is often entirely ruined by an insect
which deposits its eggs upon the fungi
while 1t is in the 2vigOr of youth. The
entire span of life Of this mushroom
insect is so brief that the grubs hatch
from the eggs and the creature be-
comes fully developed and capable OF
laying eggs itself before the mush-
room dies. even though the latter's life
may not extend over period Of forty
eight hours from the moment 1t drst
pushes through the soil.

FREED HER MIND.

The Count de Fontenay was French
gentleman with a discriminating ap'
probation Of the pleasures Of the Ia.
bile. His wife, the countess, desired to
provide them for him and also for her
''e'ts. for the couple were both fash.

,ok. who had, however. an outrageous

breaks OH the part Of the cook that
would naturally have insured her dis

'!eas of the count that such culinary
paragon must be permitted the "explo-
siOns Of the nerves" so frequently char
acteristic Of genius. But at last an
explosion" occurred when the count
was not at home to plead, and the
COUNTESS plucked up courage to give
the explosive treasure notice. Mile.
Louise departed in tantrum.
The next day she returned to de-
mand recommendation, which she
wished to show to a certain baroness.
Nine. de Fontenay's friend.
"YOu will give me character II you
please" said Louise loftily, mot for
my cOoking-that is well known-but
for honesty and the rest Of it."
Unfortunately for Louise her educa.
ton had been neglected. She found 1t
difficult to read writing, especially the
fashionable but illegible scrawl Of her
mistress. She accepted without ques-
ton or perusal the document that the
countess gave her and carried it to the
baroness, who read 1t. burst out laugh
ing and declared:
mo. no, my girl you won't dol"
This-when the indignant Louise car
ried her case to COURTS the recon.
mendation. and 1t set the Judge and
jury to laughing also:
II, Countess de Fontenay, hereby
testify that for three years I have
been in the service of Mile. Louise
Girot and have done my very best to
please her In all things and show her
my devoted submission. l was often
distressed at seeing that her temper
was somewhat difficult to put up with,
although l tried hard to live on good
terms with her on account of the ex.
cellence Of her sauces. Of which mon
sieur the count was so fond that !
should have liked to remain In Mile.
Louise's service much longer. My
purse as well as my patience having
been constantly dealt with by Mile.
Louise with unlimited liberty, cannot
say much about her honesty"
The smiling judge imposed a small
fine upon the countess, but no more
than the pleasure Of relieving her mind
was worth

Pottery Of the Amazon.

An interesting tribe of the upper
Amazon has been discovered which in
it's division of work Is remindful of the
guilds of the middle ages. One portion
makes clothing and nothing else; an.
other one is purely agricultural; an
other devOtes its time and labor to the
construction of weapons. and SO on.
Their pottery. however. is the most
notable Of their productions. Some of
these Jars are extremely large, but
very thin, although strong and durable.
Some of the smaller vessels are almost
as thin as paper.

the other Northwood nabobs are "on-
siderably aroused over the statement
that it takes longer for mail to tray
ell from Northwood to Lynden. via

undergo three full attacks of the
seven year itch. II have frequently
received mail from Lynden that was
not more than a week on the way

An organization to be known as
the River-bottom Billionaires' Club
will be formed shortly with Charles
Galbraith, J. Meenk, A. H. Frasier,
as charter members. One of the main
purposes of the organization will be
to protest to Congress against the ad-
vance in price of twenty-five cent
cigars.
1t is reported that Jim Zylstra has
invented a unique way of doubling
the egg production of his flock. Jim
has a large calendar hung in con-
spicuous place in his hen house, and
twice a day he enters, calls the flock
to order, and tears day off the cal
endar. The hens, confident that fig
gers never lie, start work again, with
the result that they produce double
the quantity Of eggs. The plan seems
much cheaper than the electric-light
scheme of such Chicken Kings as
Messrs. Beernink. Hanover, Cruik-
shank, Oordt, Reed, and others.
