The President. His name a rampant
and bulwark against mean and secret
enemies against his country's honor and

The United States. Free sovereign, in

striving for democracy as against autoc-
racy.
The officers, soldiers and sailors. May
glory be their theme, victory their COM
panion and the gratitude and love Of the
people their reward.
May the efforts of our navy, like those
Of Hercules, be the presage Of its future
greatness.
The militia. May they combine the
valor of soldiers and virtues of citizens
The gallant youth of America. May
they disdain to enjoy the blessing of our
free country, Inheritance from their an
cestors, without defending it now in this
crisis.
The heroes who fell in all our wars.
May this generation never dishonor their
memories and blood sacrificed by refusing
our aid now.
Billions for defense and honor, but not
one cent for tribute.
The Stars and Stripes. Emblem Of free
dom, may It despise the double-headed
eagle, emblem of Hohenzollern, double
dealing, tyranny.
The cultured, honest people Of Ger
many. May they follow the example of
Russia, and declare their freedom from

Philadelphia, Pa.-Do you wear glasses?
Are you a victim of eye strain or
other eye weaknesses? If so, you will be
glad to know that according to DR.. Lewis
there Is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had their
eyes restored through the principle of
this wonderful free prescription. One
man says, after trying It: II was almost
blind; could not see to read at all. Now
can read everything without any glasses
and my eyes do not water any more. At
mighty they would pain dreadfully; now
they feel fine all the time. 1t was like
miracle TO me-" A lady who used II says:
The atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses. but after using this pre-
sc-iption for fifteen days everything
seems clear. l can even read fine print
without glasses" It is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now dis
card them in a reasonable time, and null
titudes more will be able to strengthen
their ewes so as to be spared the trouble
and expense OF ever getting glasses. Eye

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care

prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as It
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all to

wheat and oats as fast as they can.
Some farmers started cutting grain
the latter part of last week and prac-
ticaily all the grain in the county will
be cut and shocked before the 1st
of July or soon after.
The oat crop in this county is by
far the best in the past fifteen years,
according to old settlers. IL is esti-
mated that a large majority of the
oats will make sixty bushels to the
acre, while wheat is far above the av-
erage and is well Headed out and full,
and is estimated to average at least
twenty bushels to the acre in the
county over. The grain all has u
good color and the dry hot weather
of the past week has been fine for
the farmers cutting their grain. The
corn also looks good. but little
shower would be of great benefit tho
IL is snot beginning to suffer yet on
account of dry weather.

reads that each bridge maintained by

Motor Trucks Must :.
Carry Figures That
Show Their Capacity

Owners of motor trucks, hundreds
of them throughout the state, are vio-
lating the state automobile law and
it is doubtful if any Of them know
that they are SO doing. According to
Section IL Of the new law that went
into effect July 1, commercial motor
vehicles with a carrying capacity Of
over two tons, must have conspicu-
ously in view on each side of the
body, near the drivers seat, a plate
or permanent marking, showing the
maximum carrying capacity in pounds
Of the vehicle and also the light
weight in pounds when in running or
der. The lettering must be not less
than one inch in height and each
stroke must be not less than three
sixteenths of an inch wide,
Few, if any, of the big motor
trucks in the state are conforming
with the new law, probably because
the copies of the law have not been
carefully read by them. The law
reads as follows:
Commercial motor vehicles having
a maximum carrying capacity of over
two tons shall have conspicuous1y in
view on each side Of the body of the
vehicle, near the drivers seat, a plate
or permanent marking, showing the
maxit1 liln . : carrying : capacity in
