HINDENBURG MESSAGE

HiNDENBURG MESSAGE
A message sent by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to General Groener
head OF the German munitions depart.
ment, with reference to strikes in in
dustria1 communities, has been receiv-
ed in London by wireless from Berlin.
Field Marshall Won Hindenburg says
he recognizes that the population has
been hit hard by the reduction of the
bread ration, but that undoubtedly the
increase in meat and the regular deliv-
cry of potatoes will compensate there
for. While he is convinced that the
authorities will see to the proper dis
tribution of foodstuffs, the field mar
shall said:
II am, therefore, quite unable to see
how the food situation can be made
the gorund for strikes by workers
while our present position on the west
ern front, which must be fought out
there, demands an undiminished pro-
duction of war supplies of all kinds.
This is the first task and takes prece-
dence over all others.
Every strike, however small, may
be the means of an unjustifable weak
ening of our defensive force and is an
inexcusable crime against the fighting
forces, especially the men in the
trenches who bleed in consequence"

Many Krupp workers are also out.

UP AND DOWN
The BARABOO

"a Renaissance by Stephen Bromley
in Reedsburg Free Press)
Up and down the Baraboo,
In the quaint old days Of yore, .
What a good old time, it's true,
Flooding up and down the shore;
How / long for those bright days,
Wading in the sparkling dew,
BANGING in the bright sun rays.
Up and down the Baraboo.
Up and down the Baraboo,
For at home 1 could not stay
While such pretty flowers grew
In the merry month Of May;
For to make a nice bouquet
I'd pluck pinks and violets toe,
On a sunny summer day,
Up and down the Baraboo.
Up and down the Baraboo,
With my fish pole, trap and gun
catching perch and bull-heads too,
Shooting rabbits on the run;
Trapping for the rats and mink
That inhabited brook and slough,
Every corner nook and sink,
Up and down the Baraboo.
Up and down the BarabOo,
Picking plums along the shore,
&ath'ring grapes, cranberries too,
To preserve for winters store;
Going nutting, what a time!
Seems the best nuts always grew
On the hardest hills to climb
Up and down the Barabo0.
Up and down the Baraboo.
Half hundred kids or so,
Playing hockey on some slough.
Where the ice was safe. you Know,
When the moon was shining bright
And the ice was sound and true;
Then we'd go gliding at night
Up and down the BaFaboo.
Up an down the Baraboo.
With q prancing pair Of bays,
Harness shining, bright and new,
Hooked on daddy's double sleighs,
How we'd laugh and shout and sing
Girls and boys and old folks, too.
While the merry sleigh bells ring,
UP and down the BaFaboo.
Bp and down the Baraboo,
Thirty long years have pasSea by,
/ am nearing forty-two,
o how fast the time does fly
But, when earthly toll is done,
Spirit with the body, through,
Hope the good Lord lets me run
Up and down the Baraboo.

paper. The period stands for the final
round-up-the end Of all things. We
could almost get along without the
colon and Semi-colOn, and yet, when
nicely used, they are the most grace
full, delicate and harmonious of all the
Fluctuations. AS long as Mrs. Grun-
dy lives, we must have the exclama-
ton and Interrogation points. But
the little comma is the skilled work
err, here and there and everywhere,
playing all sorts of pranks in comedy
and tragedy. IT can turn sense into
nonsense, make the sublime look ri
diculous. BY a little deviation in it's
use it can almost imperil the souls
salvation. Heaven save the mark!
What are all other marks which give
us pause compared to it? The comma
has a dual. nature Though capable
of the best of purposes, it's deviltry
is sometimes almost human. The
comma has no conscience. 1t serves,
with equal readiness, the powers of
darkness and the powers of light. By
a shifting of it's position it can make
white look black, turn day into night
and SO juggle with words as to give
to the best Of intentions an evil
aspect. Seeing that it can put into
our words meaning which we never
dreamed of, it behooves us to keep on
the right side of this little giant.
There's a divinity that shapes our
ends, rough-hew them how we will"
Put the comma after rough, and see
If it expresses what life means to
you The ends of some people have
been shaped exceeding rough in some
way. When think how unfairly man
kind seems to be blessed with happi-
ness, or burdened with sorrows and
miseries, find myself fond of placing
the comma after rough.
A man going to sea, his wife de-
sires the prayers Of the church. Out
in Reno. Nevada, they put the com
ma after wife. When it comes to put
ting meaning into words by punctua-
ton, the result depends, in many
cases, upon whose eyes you are look
ing through. See the gospel accord
ing to st. Luke, 23:43-"And Jesus
said unto him, Verify say unto thee,
today shalt thou be with me in para
disc" Theologians differ here as to
the punctuation. And it is said that
where doctors disagree it is folly to
be wise. In a talk, some years ago,
with an old lady of Lyons, used this
verse as it is punctuated in nay Bible.
By moving q comma, she at once
made it an argument in her favor.
Remove the comma after the word
thee, and place it after the word to-
day. To most Of you, my meaning
will not be seen without some further
explanation, but in one Of our church
Is it should be pretty generally TIN

the Adventist church, it puts an end
