saokville Greet, Dublin

Dublin il one Of the finest cities In
the British empire, and its public
buildings are second to none. Tive
very different men have united in it's
praise. Goodwin Smith said that Phoe~
nix park was the most beautiful OF all
the parks he had seen, and Greville
even more enthusiastic, wrote; Il am
greatly struck by the fneness Of the
town OF Dublin and Of its public build
ings especially, Dublin is, FORTS size
finer city than London, and | think
they beat us hollow in their public
buildings. We have no such square
as Merton square nor such a street
as Sackville street" Sala in q BELLS

GERMANY is playing her last trump
card on the lt'skaa front at the pre-
sent time and if she fails, and she
undoubtedly will, it will probably
mean that the German dream of
victory will be done. for, Germany
and Austria are waging their att
tacks on the Italians, in the hope Of
breaking down the army of that
nation, but reports now indicate
that their drive is ended and that
within week Italy will be able to
hold back the invaders, Germany
will then know that her war will be
fruitless and to continue it longer
means farther wearing down of the
nation,

rraininn Raw Recruits.

An army officer. speaking of the ne
cesSity for the rigid training OF re-
eruitS. said;
Don't delude yourselves with the
idea that a man won't be frightened
under fire. because he win be, He'll be
badly frightened If he Is a normal hui
man being,
Now, if man can be made to bring
his rifle up to his shoulder In battle
and fire it Is conceded by military au-
thorities that soldier has been made
out of him.

not only to bring the weapon to their
shoulders. but 70 take proper sight
If hard training aeeompfshes this tri-
umph over their natural fears then you

AN ANTIQUE PHRASE.
The "Are and of Right Ought to BE"
Used In the Declaration.

Used IN the peciaratons
Has it ever occurred to you that
one of the lingering sentences or
phrases which Thomas Jefferson wrote
into the Declaration really is a yerita-
BILE antique?
Professor William A. Dunning of Co
lumbia university about fifteen years
ago pointed out that the phrase "Are,
and Of right ought to be- has been
used so often that be would not be
surprised to find some Psychologist dis
cover its equivalent ON an Egyptian
temple.
He hogan tracing the phrase and first
found Swift had used something like
it in referring to the Church Of Ire
land.
OF course Richard Henry Lee had
used it before Jefferson in his resolu-
ton in congress June Z, 177G
But before Dean Swift had applied 1t
the bill of rights which placed Will
liam and Mary on the British throne
said Of them that they did become,
were, are and Of right ought to be by
laws of this realm our sovereign lord
and lady"
That did not satisfy Professor Dun
ming, and he started back through the
middle ages and found in 1900 Pope
Boniface VIII. used similar sentence
with King Philip the Fair Of France,
1t appears that Philip had some no
ton of independence. and the pope
gave him to understand that the
French of right are and ought to be
subject to the Roman king and the EN-
peror,"
OF course this went. and Philip con-
tinued to be fair haired. but not indie
pendent,-p Philadelphia Ledger,

Or ALL the diabolieal lies started
10y the German sympathizers in this
country, the latest concerning the
Red Cross and its work is the worst
tor it shows to what depths of de-
pravity human nature can fail, whe0
they attact an institution whose
every effort is devoted. to bringing
relief from suffering to the thou
sands of soldiers on the battlefields,
as we'll as innocent non-eombatents.
1t is the worst for it is the hardest
to run down for it is the work OF
whispering traitors who dare not
come out in the open for fear of the
consequences,
These stories have visited praeti-
cally every town and hamlet in the
United States and they have even
been repeated on the streets of
Washburn, in many instances by
ianocent persons who did not realize
that they were working hand in
hand with the enemies when they
repeated the stories.
The stories vary in form but they
all have for their object the break
ing down of the work of the Aweri-
can Red Cross by causing people to
believe that the money and articles
which they gave did not get to their
proper destination,
So serious has the propaganda be-
come that the National organization
has begun the work Of tracing down
the offenders. The stories are to
the effect that sweaters, socks and
other articles made for the soldiers
have been sold and have never
reached their proper destination.
The story is usually told with cir
substantial details to make it more
real, One for example tells of a
woman who sewed a $40 bill into
the sweater which she intended for
her son in the navy. She found a
man ON the street wearing the same
sweater and to prove that it was her
property she opened seam of the
garment and produced the $40 bill,
Another story is that man pur-
chased sweater at q department
store which had been made by a
woman engaged in Red Cross work,
Others differ but prove to be similar
in effect.
1t is hoped that the people of
Bayfield, county will be too intelligent
to allow themselves to be imposed
upon withthese VARIES and that they
will bear in mind that repeating
such stories, though innocentN,
does as much or more damage as
when circulated mtelhgently and
serves the purpose Of the disloyal
and enemy agencies who started the
story in the FIRST place.

FOR Fast SHOOTING.

The rife for rapid firing should have
shotgun weight, shotgun balance, shot
gun trigger pull shotgun fit, and the
sights must be such as can be caught
Instantly without effort IN alignment
The hands grasp the piece firmly, not
with the rifiernan's loose grip. but the
left arm pushes forward while the
right draws back. and the trigger IS
pulled BY transferring the drawing
back force TO the trigger finger and
not by any conscious crooking Of that
finger. The moment the bead covers
the mark the bullet must be, under Way
be the aim good or bad.-0utings

Aelsoland.

Centuries ago Helgoland, In the
North sea, was at least FIVE times It's
present size, and a place Of no little
importance. Like SO many islands, 1t
had a peculiar attraction for the peo-
pies Of the surrounding mamlands.
They stood in awe of it, and mythology
early claimed it for its own. Here the
Forseti, the god Of justice, had tenn
pie, as had also, according to another
tradition, the goddess Hetha, special
object Of veneration among the Angles
Of the mainland. Later on 1t was the
realm of the pagan king, Radbod. and
it was hither that st. Wilhbrod eame,

When the Worm Turns.

The human element in the great mass
Of the populaee, IN sharp contrast with
the inhumanity of the dark forces ar
rayed against it-underlies all that hap
pened during the revolution in Russia
Bureaucracy failed in it's last desperate
stand for prerogatiye and privilege be-
cause it moderated the ability Of the
average Russian believed to be dulled
by years Of oppressioR-to ultimately
decide between right and wrong. Push
ed to the hmit by deception and dis
loyalty in grave hour of national
peril, the worm turned and carried all
before him. Apply this elemental fact
to what transpired in Russia and ey-
erything stands revealed.-lsaac It,

Left Only the Ssubble.

The ancient Egyptians reaped their
grain close to the ear and afterward
cut the straw close to the ground and
laid it by. 1t was this straw that Pha-
raoh refused TO give to the IScaehtes.
1t was because Of this refusal to give
the longer straw to the Israelites that
they were compelled to gather stub
ble.H This was matter of consider
able difficulty, seeing that the straw
itself bad been cut or near to the
