begin, and the soon,coming
Prince of Peace will see to it that
war and militarism are put out
of the way
Yes, disarmament must come
and will come, and the world can
have it's choice of just two ways
for disarmament to come. Either
the nations must willingly and
peaceably disarm themselves, or
they must fight till. they disarm
each other. They are trying out
the latter method now as fast az
they can, but it is a slow and ex-
pensive way of doing what could
be done so much quicker and
cheaper.
But the overriding. hand Of
God is in all this business, and
disarmament will come in exactly
the way He has planned for it to
come, and all the efforts of men
can't change it. They think
NOW that they will 60 right on
keeping up their armies and
nayles, but by the time this is all
over they will be mighty willing
to change their minds ABOUT it.

H~EART-TO-HEART TALK.

Now, dear readers and friends,
this is a personal letter to you. |
want you to regard it as just as
personal and just as important as
if | had written it direct on my
typewriter and mailed it to you ia
a sealed envelt pc under a three
cent stamp.
What do you think of the line
of talk | am giving you this time3
If you believe my New Message
contains something that the people
ought to read and think about,
then | want you to appoint your
self as a missionary to help spread
it among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read It to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it. You will find more people
thinking along these lines than
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on these
things, this paper will wake them
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today is
aware of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
far-reaching consequences to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
IS the end, and the old cut-and-
dr1ed conceptions Of what is going
to happen in the wind-up are be-
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and I want you to
help me spread it into every nook
and corner of this broad land. It
is going to take a great deal Of
money to run this thing under
present conditions. Print paper
costs about twice what it former
ly did, and some kind Of war tax
lin the form Of postage or other
wlse) is going to fall heavily on
publishers. And besides that,
| am constantly needing to add
new machinery and office equip
ment to handle the business. You
folks hustle up the clubs and I'll
furnish the chin-music till every
goes easy.

HOW DOES IT STRIKE YOU?

If YOU think this dope l am Civ
ing you is something new that
have just gotten hold OF and
thought it would do for a sensa-
ton, you are badly mistaken.
It may be sensational to some
folks, but it isn't new at all. 1t is
as old as the Bible, and the fact
that you didn't know it was IN
there amt my fault.
Millions Of people have believed
these things for a long time, and
millions more are beginning to be-
lieve them these days. 1t is no
new revelation to me, but has
been gradually unfolding before
nv eyes for several years. l have
been Just on the verge of launch
ing this campaign two Or three
times before, but decided the time
was not quite ripe for it.
Especially since the Great War
started I have been convinced that
we were in the closing scenes OF
this age, and I have not felt salts
fed to go on being a mere clown
to make people laugh. My
mouth has watered' more than
once to say the things that / am
now saying, and at last they are
said. That is, some Of them are
said. There is plenty more to say.
This is a mighty big subject, and
as the hurrying stream Of events
rushes on it will get bigger !
can only just touch the high
places in this a; $ issue. In future
issues there will be room to treat
the different phases Of the ques-
ton more at length.
Now, Mister, if you believe it or
don't believe it, I want the priv
lege Of talking to your head
about a quarters worth, anyhow.
By that time you will either de-
eide that I am a fool or that you
are one, and maybe both of us
will learn something.
Now comet Get up a big club
and send it in. And if you think
that way about it you can tell all
your friends that Pearson has
suddenly gone crazy and they just
ought to watch his capers.

Just You and Me.

Well, friends, you see Good
News is still having it's troubles,
but it is still hammering away
and determined to overcome
them.
AS you know, I have been run
ming a month behind for the past
year almost, and The last issue
was gotten out in. November and
dated for October. | meant to at
least get OUT the November issue
in December. But, behold, here
came the most terrible blizzard
and freeze. up that has ever be en-
known in this section of country.
The mercury got in a regular
habit Of staving below zero, and
as | hadn't fixed my Office for any
such. weather as that / simply
couldn't keep it warm enough to
work. So | was absolutely '1roze
out'' for a whole month.
Now | am TWO months be-
hind, thank you, and I beg your
kind permission to skip Novem-
Der and get, out the December
number here in January.
On the face Of it, that don't
look like there is much use to
tackle a weekly, does it? But
let me prove to you that weekly
is the very thing l need to get
me Strengthened out. Listen:
In the past I've hs d no way of
getting my type set, no satisfac-
tory mailing system, and nobody
to help me do anything, and a
bad case Of sickness On hand be-
sides. But now, as stated else
where in this issue, I have al
ready placed my order for the
very best mailing system ever
invented. When it gets here and
| get my entire list transferred
to it | can mail ten times faster
than the old way and do a much
nicer job Of it. And now you-all
are going to help me buy that
Machine to set the type,
and I've got the hands picked
out and ready to take charge of
the mechanical end of the shop.
About all I'll have to do then
will be the writing and editing,
and l can edit a weekly paper a
heap better than / can a monthly,
because I will have more "elbow
room to talk in, and also plenty
Of room for letters and contribu.
from others. / now have on
hand a big amount of contributed
copy that | want to print, but
there is no room FIR it till the
weekly starts. And just how
soon that will be depends on how
fast you-all hustle.in the subs.

DISARMAMENT.

ing the war, and the possibl lty
of it's ending any time soon, that
[ want you to get.
If this is to be the last war, as
we all 'fervently hope. then it
cannot end until all the great
armies and navies of the world
have in some way been destroyed
or put out Of commission. The
fighting may 60 on until they are
all actually destroyed in battle.
Or it could be possible that the
people will get enough of 1t and
demand of their respective gov
ernments a general worldwide
disarmam ent.
At some future time in the his
tory of nations the swords are to
be beaten into plowshares, but
that could be after the sword is
so battered and broken that it is
no longer a fl, weapon to fight
with. In one way or another all
the great war machinery of the
word must be put out Of business.
Just as long as armies and navies
continue to exist in the world
some excuse will be found to use
them. The only way to get rid of
war is to first get rid of the tools
with which war is made.
Here is an illustration: When
a man is disco vered with a block
ade still hid out in the mountains
making blockade liquor, what
happens? Why, the officers go
and cut up the still and destroy
all the tools and material that
could enter into the manufacture
Of liquor. Why do they do that?
Why wouldn't it be a better idea
to leave the still as they find it
and tell the man to put up two or
three more like it-as a guaran-
tee that he wont make any more
booze? Tell him to keep his stills
in good working ORDER. always
ready to make liquor at a mo-
ment's notice but he. mustn't
make any! Wouldn't that be a
dandy way to get rid of booze?
But that would be just exactly
as sensible as trying to get rid of
war without first getting rid of
the machinery with which war
is made. This is so plain and
simple that it looks like the rulers
could see it, but they don't. They
claim that they don't want to
make any more of the booze of
war after the present big doubling
comes off. but they expect to 60
right on keeping up their stills. "
Oh, the folly of it!
The ruling powers Of this old
world have got lots to learn yet,
Pm afraid the only way they will
learn is by bitter experience.
They will probably not agree to
disarm until the destruction of
battle has brought every fighting
force to the end of it's physical

WATERFOWL CLAIMS
The STATE HIGH TITLE

In statement to the Sentinel R.
football championship for Watertown,
unless Marinette consents to meet
Watertown on a neutral field The
communication follows:
Watertown expressed herself as ia
vorably impressed with the Sentiners
suggestion regarding an elimination
meet, to decide the high school foot
ball championship Of Wisconsin. The
plan was to have Watertown and
Waukesha clash, and the last football
game between WatertOwn and Wau-
kesha was played on Waukesha's
field, hence they were challenged to
meet Watertown on her field Deem
Der 5, or at a later suitable date. The
challenge was refused, as was also a
challenge to meet them on their own
grounds at Waukesha, or on neutral
field in the city of Milwaukee,
Watertown refused to acknowledge
Waukesha as a rightful contender for
the championship for reasons hereto
fore published, but came forth with a
challenge to meet them, in order to
carry out the Sentiners plan of elm
nation
The WatertOwn eleven offered to
play any team, any place, for the
championship. With the withdrawal
Of Marshfeld and Waukesha, Water
town claims an undisputed right to
the high school championship of Wis
consin, and again challenges any
team who may consider herself a
rightful claimant to the extent of de-
Tending that claim, to meet us on
neutral ground.
In Mondays Sentinel Marinette ex-
pressed a willingness to play any
claimant for the state title, in fact,
they refused to acknowledge anyone
who would not meet them Since Mari
nette seems to be the only logical con-
tender left in the running, it is ex-
pected that they will answer Water
towns challenge, or withdraw any
claims heretofore made.

Way To Peel Potatoes.

Drop washed potatoes in vessel Of
rapidly boiling water and allow them
to remain ten minutes. Remove and
strip the thin skin as when potatoes
are peeled after thorough cooking by
boiling. The potatoes will still be
practically raw and may be handled
like raw peeled potatoes in preparing
any dish, as scalloped, French or Ger
man fried potatoes, potato chips, etc.
One excellent way to cook the SKIM
ed potatoes is to bake them. The, entire
potato, including the thin, golden
brown crust may be eaten.
This recipe for economical peeling
of potatoes was furni shed by house
wife and tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The de-
partment will be glad to have other
housewives write Of thrift practices
which they have found useful in their
homes.

ARTHUR LEMKE MAY
RECOVER FROM INJURIES

Arthur Lemke, who was seriously
injured in the Wolfram shoe factory
in Madison, is at the General hospital
in that city and may recover if moth
ing now unforeseen takes place. He
sustained bruises and cuts about the
head but it is not thought that the
wounds are fatal
Mr.. Lemke was operating a leveling
machine, and in trying to adjust some
part while it was in motion, his head
became caught. He had presence of
mind sufficient to grasp the belt, at
the same time crying for help. His
life was saved by the belt slipping off
the pulley and workmen soon extri-
Gated him from the machine. 1t was
by the rarest good luck that he was
not killed as his head might have been
severed from the body had he not
grasped the belt when he did.
His sister, Miss Tillie Lemke, is
with him at Madison.
