RATTLE BRAIN GOSSIP.
James Tribune.

Gossips are doing an injury to sew
eral people In Ames. Especially is this
true Of DIR. l.. H. Pammel. The rnmor
was current the past week that DR..
Pammel had been taken to Des
Moines and placed under bond to keep
him from expressing any ro-Germa n
sentiment. No such thing happened
and it has not been necessary to in
any manner bride DR. Pammel. He
has his honest convictions and ex-
presses them. The father Of DR.. Pam
mel served in the union army when
We were having trouble in 1852. DR..
Pammel is now too old to enlist in the
present crisis. But he and his wife
have sent their son to the front. That
Is patriotism and OF the telling kind
DR.. PamDel is of German descent but
he replied to a Tribune reporter that
he was all American with al, his
heart and soul"
There are others whose names have
been dragged in the mire OF gossip
when there was nothing but the idle
rumor. This class OF people are doing
more injury TO their country than is
conceivable at this time.
Many cases oI so-CdHeu ulsioydity
have been called to the attention OF
the Tribune. An investigation Of the
cases has revealed there has been
nothing to them here in Ames II
there should be development of dis
loyalty on the part Of any Ames per-
son and the Tribune shall learn Of Il
the paper will go the limit In seeing
the matter reaches the proper authorl-
ties. But petty jealousies and gossip
should cease for good men will have
their names mixed into them.

Ia a safe bet that no German within
our borders will ever be nolested In

but there will probably be stop put

Those who can recall when they
could buy hogs at SO a hundred are In
position to match "reminiscences with
those who homesteaded the ground on
which Sioux City now stands says
the Sioux City Tribune.
III Des ,Moines did not have re-
cruiting office the city would not get
to see much war enthusiasm accord
ing to the Perry Chief. Most or the
enlistments seem to come from the
smaller towns nearby" the Chief notes.
IF the Iowa legislature repeats its
action on the bill providing four-year
term for county officers 1t will be for
given for some other bad legislation"
the Dubuque Times journal predicts.
"Compulsion isn't a pretty word
admits the Sioux City Journal. War
isn't q pretty fact. Clothing war in
slick terms that aim only to disguise
the thing they represent can not beau
tify it. Americans ought to be honest
about this business-at least with
themselves"

HOGS.
Nevada REPRESENTATIVE.

lNeVaua Representative
This Is not meant for hogs. Hogs
are quadrupeds--that is, most OF them
are, occasionally one meets up with
porclne bipeds but It is not to the
freaks that we address this. There are
fftynine reasons why we do not care
to converse with hogs. One is that 1t
is repugnant to us: another reason Is
that the hog Is not amenable to teach
ing, and does not respond to suggest
ion. The other ffty-seven reasons
are material but we have forgotten
them. By the way speaking of hogs,
have You ever seen one that regur-
gitated his food that Is, one that made
Of 1t a habit? The hog does mott. In
that respect the hog is a gentleman and
a scholar compared with some men.
This brings us around to the subject
Of flth and filthy habits Of which that
Of splitting all over the sidewalks Is the
one most aggravating and disgusting.
The city authorities should make it an
oifense subject to fine and the hogs on
two legs would soon learn that the
practice is highly objectionable. Let
there be an anticipating ordinance
passed and enforced.

are more Germans in this community

are also Irish Scotch Irish and just

is a loyal American. That's the point
that counts. Let's every one forget

that we should be proud Of our mother

our parents came, but in times like
these none OF US can well he anything

When the government urges all to
produce every bushel of grain possible
this season in order that all may be
fed. 1t seems to overlook a fertile field
for pr0duction-the army of men en-
ployed in the manufacture and sale Of
alcoholic beverages. The Ant-Pr
hibition says 100000 men are so en-
ployed. Think of the vast acreage they
could till. of the millions of bushels Of
grain they could produce and the great
herds Of cattle and hogs they could
send to market. And the world can 80
easily spare them from their accus-
toned pursuits.

the merchants are fully prepared to
meet the demands of the holiday

better satisfaction if they make their
purchases now.

Chiropractic Results

The following letter from Avalon,
Pa, dated Dec. 4, 1917, gives some
idea of chiropractic results: my
son Robert, aged II, was hurt on
the head by a fall in gymnasium
and complained afterwards of his
eyes hurting him, and we soon be-
gan to notice his right eye turning
outward and a little later the school
examiner notified us to have his eye
looked after. We took him to an
optician, who advised us to get the
best specialist in the city, as there
might be an ulcer on the optic nerve
as a result of the fall, which would
probably mean an operation. The
specialist gave him glasses, saying
that was all that could be done then,
but for us to come back in few
weeks. In the meantime we were
visiting in Morris, and hearing of
Dr. Witwer's success with similar

Students Club


Mrs. e. J. Jones and Mrs. S. A.
Siverts, Jr., entertained the members
of the Students Club and their
friends at the home of Mrs. Jones on
December 10. Each member re-
pended to roll call with her pet econ
Omy. The responses were interesting
as we'll as instructive.
The club voted to cooperate with
the other women's organizations in
the city in an effort to bring the
methods of food conservation to
more of the people.
Mrs. Stever was unable to attend
so Mrs. Morrison took charge of the
program. She distributed balanced
ration cards and explained them.
Mrs. Harris gave an interesting talk
on the Wheat Needs of the World"
and explained why we should send
wheat to France and use substitutes
at home. Mrs. Stebbins read a most
comprehensive article on the Prus-
sian system. Christmas Eve on
Lonesome" by John Fox, Jr., was
read in a very entertaining manner
by Mrs. Voss. Musical numbers by
Mrs. Trip and Miss Witwer added
much to the enjoyment of the meet
ing.
After the program the hostesses
served a delicious lunch.
