We Can Start AT Once
'We can start at once"

"We can start at once"
In those words the American destroyer flotilla
commander answered the British inquiry at
Queenstown when the American ships arrived
there few days ago to 60 into action against the
U-boats
That was the truly American way of answcz-
ing. There was the real American .r4r1t.
The reply Of this American commander is fit
to go down in national story along with Ad-
miral Deweys famous, "You may fire when you
are ready, Gridley."
The words Of this American naval commander
first into the war zone with the Stars and Stripes
ought to be made national slogan. ave can
start at once.' Congress ought to adopt that
slogan
Congress, so far as we can see, is the most
muddleheaded asinine, dilatory, oratorical and
do-nothing branch of the government.
''We can start at once" says the American
naval commander "We have some more talking
to do says congress.
Every American citizen ought to take it upon
himself to see that awe can start at once" be-
comes our national slogan-and that we live up
tOit.
We have two billion dollar bond issue before
us now to pay for our war work.
When can get this bond issue bought up9
All down the line, ave can start at once.''
We can start at once to forget that this is
make-beleve war.
We can start at once to make this nation boil
and hum with the industry of winning the war,
eve can start at once and WE INTEND TO
FINISH ON TIME!

Dear Miss Grey: II. X. w.
Is altogether too serious
about this girl question. Why
expect brains to be the chief
accomplishment Of a girl?
Pleasant face, form and
manners, her Frightening
eyes when he gives her a
present and her red lips are
enough for me. A good scout
Is all | care for. Somebody
else will marry her when her
time comes and the girl will
be a better wife, having ac-
CURED skill and experience in
the loving game. To- spend
money is not all, how to
spend it and savior vivre is
the main thing.
l never regretted the dol
lars I did spend to make the
little Bundles of Fashion"
happy. the more the merrier.
Happy memories is the
only paradise from which we
can not be driven; therefore
want as many as l can col
lect. IL | ever get married
| want my wife to be my best
friend as we'll as my sweet
heart for ever and ever, and
not only an efficient house
keeper. Whatever happened
before she stepped into my
life only she herself and
Allah should know. Cheer
up, e. r. w. Some day you
may find a brainy wife and
1 hope she will bore you to
death with all her brains.
HAPPY BACHELOR.
Dear Miss Grey: wish to
add to the general discussion
caused by Norma" think
the boys who deplore the lack
of sense in girls are in the
minority. For my part l
have found that the girl with
sense is not as popular as a
girl who can bubble of moth
ing for hours. I do not
mean to say that such girls
are lacking in sense. Far
from 1t. They are clever
enough to disguise 1t. And
as for those purely mercenary
girls, l think N the fellows
would not look SO much for
the girl with the clothes they
would find some not 80 mer-
cenary, az those kin0 are the
ones who spend every cent
for clothes, and consequently
have to depend on SONS one
else for pleasure.
l wish to remark on the
letter which referred to the
fmpoliteness of women in
public. I think II he would
have read his own letter a
few times he never would
have mailed it. He says wom-
en- frequently shove past him
and are otherwise very rude,
IL he, and other men, would
perhaps step aside like gen.
tlemen there would be no oc-
casion for showing. If they
want women to be retiring
and modest let them treat
them in such a manner that
they can. l have heard
my girl friends at one time or
another say something in re-
gard to the ever increasing
loss of chivalry in men. 1t
works both ways.

There must be lots of nice

the question is, how can they
meet? You don't find them

why wouldn't 1t be good idea
to have a civic social club for

GLOSSY, WAVY AND BEAU
TIFUL AT ONCE

Immediate ?-Yes! Certain ?-that's
the joy of it. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap-
pears as soft, lustrous and beautiful
as young girls after a Danderine
hair cleanse. Just try this-mosten
q cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt
or excessive oil, and in just few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty Of
your hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin Besides beautifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair
fine and dOwny at -yes-but real

scalp. If you care for pretty, soft
hair, and lots of it, surely get small

Brain BIood-suppIy Must Be Good

The importance of having pure
blood is perhaps never more deeply
impressed on us than when we are
told by PSYCHOLOGISTS that if the brain
is supplied with impure blood, nervous
and bilious headache, confusion Of
ideas, loss of memory, impaired intel
Iect, dimming Of vision, and dullness
of hearing, are experienced, and in
time the brain becomes disorganized
and the brittle thread Of life is broken.
The more we learn of the usefulness
of the great blood purifier, Hoods Sar-
rsaparilla, the more grateful we are
for this old and successful family
medicine, which has accom- iished SO
much in removing scrofula rheuna-
tism and catarrh and other Hood dis
eases and correcting rundown condi-
*tions of the system. If you. need
blood purifier, get Hoods tSarsaparilla.

Obituary
Brown

Emmett r. brown, a son or orange
Brown, one of the early and respect
ed pioneers of Delton, passed away
at his home in Kilbourn on Tuesday,
October %, aged siXty-four years.
Mr.. Brown was born on Webster
Prairie, where he grew to manhood,
and there the greater part of his life
was spent. For many years he was
associated with Judge Marshall as
overseer and business manager of his
large farm near Delton, where, by his
kindly bearing and genial manner he
had the love and good will of all his
employees.
Twenty years ago he united with
the NJ E. church. Later he removed
to Kilbourn. Truly he was faithful
worker and a devoted Christian. His
winsome character and fine personal
ity will live long in the memory of
, his friends and associates. Through
his honesty and integrity he won the
respect and esteem of all who were
connected with him in business affairs.
Three years ago, on account Of i'll
health, he retired from active business
and though since then he had been
very frail, his many friends we're
shocked to hear OF his death. -
The funeral service was conducted
by the Rev. Walter Trench Scott on
Friday afternoon, October 26, at the
M. E. church in Kilbourn, and the re-
mains were laid away in the Webster
Prairie cemetery.
The death Of Mr. Brown at his
home in KilbOurn on October 80, with
in a week after the death of his broth
or, Emmett Brown, was a sad sugges-
ton of almost parallel lives. Both
weer born on Webster Prairie~fn the
same house, their lives were passed
together in the same neighbour
each in turn having had charge Of
the Marshall farm. They came to
Kilbourn together in 1906, and had
been until their health failed associ-
ated in the stock buying business. So
nearly Identical were their life rec
ords, their qualifications and tempera-
ments that the same eulogy would apt
ly apply to both.
Emory n. Brown
Emory II. Brown was born October
"a, 1856. He was married in 1883 to
Miss Hattie Chapman, who survives
him. His father, the late Orange
Brown, was one Of the pioneer settlers
of Webster Prairie and was once
leading spirit in the affairs Of his
town. Emory Brown grew through
youth to manhood with the confidence
and esteem of all his associates, as
boy and man. His dependable charac-
ter and integrity won the respect and
friendship in the circle of early home
life which continued in a marked de-
gree through the eleven years of his
life in Kilbourn. About three years
ago he had the first stroke Of apopleXy,
followed by others, until he became
almost helpless. The last eight months
he was confined to his bed. The end
came peacefully, going within a few
moments from life to eternal sleep.
Mr.. Brown was Mason, a Modern
Woodman and a member of the East
ern Star
The funeral was held on Thursday
afternoon, November l, from the Kill
bourn NJ. E. church url1er the auspi-
ces of the Masonic societies. The serv-
ices we're conducted by Abe Rev. Wal
ter Trench Soft. Interment was in
the Webster Prairie cemetery.
