MAIL IN GARBAGE CANS
Tourists Thought Stafford Was Real
Big City, Says Courier

Stafford evidently makes a good
impression on her visitors. OF course
it depends on the visitor and where
he has been as was evidenced by
little incident last Sunday.
Some tourists stopped in the town
few minutes and while here de-
cided to post some mail, presumably
to the folks back home. Noting the
large tin receptacles on the corners
of the main streets they Immediately
put Stafford down as big city with
street post office boxes and proceed
ed to put the mail in what the natives
know to be trash cans. 1t happened
that some folks saw them and not
wishing to lower their estimate of
the town let them go on their way
rejoicing and then took the mail aut
and to the post office where it be-
longed.
We leave it to you to figure out
where they were raised and where
they have been.-Stafford Courier

THREE FAILED TO REGISTER
Men in Fowler Sanitarium of June S
Must Answer Charge

Two gentlemen whose names we
did not secure, living At Wichita,
and Cornelius F., Reimer, of Canada,
who have been taking treatment at
the Fowler sanitarium, were found
through questioning by the authori-
ties not to have registered for SER
vice on the 5th day Of June, as pre-
scribed by the recent registration
law.
Another man who had registered
reported the two at Wichita who had
not registered. A report Of the two
has been sent into the authorities at
Wichita. He said that they claimed
their age was under the the age lin
it. They will likely take trip to
Lansing.
Mr.. Reimer is being detained here
until. the authorities here hear from
higher authorities to ascertain what
to do in his case.
He is an English subject and he
claimed that he was advised at Meade
that foreign subjects were exempt
from registering. 1t is probable that
they will allow him to register, as
they have done others who have prov
en- that it was through misunder-
standing of requirements that they
did not register.

love for family are using noble term
| for ignoble purpose. 1t is Grass sell
fshness. How does it happen that one
woman's love for her husband is so
much greater than the love of mill
lions of wives for their husbands?
Whose son is more precious than the
millions of sons who have died and are
going to die? Where would We be if
the wives and mothers had been so
jealous in the COS as some women
claim to be now? The man who hides
behind skirts is not a Stacker; he is
, coward in the meanest sense. Every
true woman would rather be the widow
of dead man than the wife of a
coward.
This same mental attitude makes
some people see the advantages to be
derived by staying home and getting
hold of the sheckles while others go to
the front, thereby making sacrifices.
The man who suddenly so loves his
family that he cannot go, by the same
process finds it impossible to help
carry on the war by securing a lib
erty bond and the mental, really cow
ardly equivalent also keeps him from
giving the Red Cross dollar, when it
is the most democratic Of institutions.
1t is not love nor prudence, but the
expression in polite terms OF cow
ardly selfish spirit.
In the years to come, these people
will have money and sound skins, but
there will be cripples and widows
weeds, which will be badges of honor
which money cannot buy. There will
be respectable poverty more glorious
than gold bonds. Conversation and
fatuous reasons may act as balms to
sooth an accusing conscience at pres
ent, but unless the continuation of the
process completely sears the soul, we
need to pity those with the lily livers
and the itching palms. On to France
