WAR
This is What We Are in For

If your house had been ransacked
and burned, and your relatives and
friends had been outraged, as have the
Belgians and French, you would be
bursting with rage and ready to fight,
and fight to finish.
Bombs with long but perfect con-
nections have been set under the foun-
dations of this government.
The fuse is burning towards our
shores.
Shall we wait till the terrible ex-
plosion takes place, or shall we act
now!
The war is with us. We may not see
its flames today, but our homes, our
liberty, our freedom and our all, are
at stake. And it is vitality necessary
that the Liberty Loan be fully sub
scribed Immediately in order to equip
our boys RIGHT. The Government
has offered for sale two billions of
bonds in denominations of $50, 500,
$500 and upwards. Your plain duty is
to buy as many of these bonds as you
can. They can be bought on the par
tial payment plan. The first payment
need only be 29o, 50 on a 500 bond.
Anyone with any pocket money or an
allowance of any kind can find no ex-
cuse for not buying at least one $50
bond.

Old Dad Henderson who prides his
self on being a turrible far seeink
wether profet says that hes purity rea-
sonable shure that we wont have no
frost betwixt now and next September
Dad in the past has made some purity
ackerate perdickshions, but the above is
the foolest perdickshion we ever heerd
him make Dad used to be a better
wether profet than he is now. For the
past VT or two Dad has missed it on
the wether good menny more times
than he has hit it until now hes almost
scairt to make a perdickshion a tall and
we persoom this is the reason he is so
a1nitv caushious.
Most ennv fool could perdick that
there wouldn't be emmy frost betwixt
now and next September and he shure
it would turn out as they said. Whoever
heerd of frost in July ennyhow unless
it was at the north pole or some other
seaport?
For the past few days the thermom-

WETHER EDDYTORIUL

Being as there amt nothing else
partickler to claim our attenshion
in the way of a eddytoriul this wk
we thort it mite be good idee to
dash off a breef eddytoriul con-
corning the kind of wether we have
been a having lately.
It has been mostly hot.
1t pears to us sometimes that if
we was a runnin the wether for
BingvilIe we could make a better
Job of it than we have had for the
past few weeks.
To begin with we had a ttrrible
wet spring with about twict as
mulch rain as we nacherly needed
and so cold that persons had to
keep their fires going and 1uggin
wood until all their wood was burnt
up.
This cool packard spring kept up
until about June 1 or Whereabouts
and then quite suddint1y it come
off hottern blazes and has remained
so ever sinst.
It has not only remained hot
ever sinst but it has remained dry
as well. Now the crops is badly in
need of rain and yit it don't rain
and day after day it pears like the
skies is dry as a bone with not &
cloud in site.
What we be Citing at is why ir
thunderashion instid of having sc
blamed mulch rain all last spring
why couldn't a leetle of it of beer
saved and dropped on the ground
now that it is needed so mulch?
But then we persoom we ort moi
to complain. We persoom no mat
ter what kind of wether we had i
wouldn't be the rite kind to please
everybuddy. We have notised thai
some folks is almost as hard tc
please as we be.
In fackt we hate to be allus kick
in like some peepul.

Lafe's Ice Is Gone

LATE Henderson come into this offs
in disgust tother day and informd us
with considerable perfanitty (which
amt fit to print in this conneckshion)
that when he went to his ice house last
Sabbath to git a lump of ice TO make
lemonade of he was amazed and sur
prised TO find that there wassent cake
of ice in the ice house heine as it had
all melted TO the last cake.
It amt no mystery or mirackel to us
that Lafe's ice has went and melted on
him. IF we diddent put no more saw
dust on our ice when we put it in the
ice house than LATE does we would ex-
peckt it to melt and we wouldn't blame
If if If did Not only that but LATE has
used the same old sawdust to put up
his ice with yr after VT without GET
ting emmy new fresh sawdust and when
a person is so stingy of their sawdust in
putting up ice they can expeek their ice
to melt.
Now we persoom LATE will expeck
to borrer ice from his nabers as ushual
but if he comes to US to borrer emmy
ice and expecks to git IT he will be dis
appinted.
