E. M. Millard was caller at The
Star Office Tuesday. Mr.. Millard sub
scribed for The Star when the first
printed and has been > een-
tinuous subscriber ever since. Twenty
years is q long time when we look
ahead but in looking over No. l, Vol. l.
of The Stars files he could hardly BE-
lieve that the events there recorded
had happened 80 long ago.

Word was received Saturday by
Ernest Cowling of Dove Creek, that
his youngest brother had died that
morning at the old home in Loop City,
Nebraska. Mr.. .Cowling was at the
Dick Morgan ch at Lewis when the
message came and it was phoned to
him there. He and Mr.. Morgan left
Lewis in the Cowling automobile at
o'clock that evening for Dove Creek.
They returned in the night with Mrs.
Cowling, and Sunday noon Mr.. and
Mrs. Cowling left on the train for
Loop City. This is sad blow to the
relatives as it is the second brother
taken from the family in the past three
months

A mass meeting is called for this
friday evening at 7:30 at the Town

w. Clark of Summit Ridge. who is ex-
sergeant of the U. s. Army, will be
present and has consented to drill the
boys if they care to organize. Every
body is invited from the ages of nine
teen to ninety. Mr.. Clark says he will

The flag which was presented to the
Town of Dolores by J. J. Harris some
time ago was raised in the park north
of the depot Saturday afternoon. This
is fine large flag and adds much to
the patriotic appearance of the town.
but mighty fine excuse for having
a patriotic rally was overlooked on this
occasion. 1t is to be hoped that when
the new school building is completed q
suitable pole will be erected on the
grounds and the school flag placed
where it can be seen, and that pro-
gram fitting the occasion will be
arranged for. - --'' '-''

But Is There Longer
Doubt of the Kaiser's
r Desire for World-Rule?

Wallace Notestein and Elmer De StoA,
Of the University of Minnesota, have
compiled an interesting volume of ex-
tracts from contemporary German
writers bearing on the German war
aims.
The book, which was prepared for and
Is being distributed by the committee on
public information, in a convincing proof
of the Allied contention that victory for
Germany means German world dominion.
A representative piece Of Junker doc
trine selected at random from the col
lection says:
Let no man say every people has 8 right 20
cts existence, etc. When the little nations clash
with the great nations their worth IA tried -
n the peoples in question have nothing GermAnic
about them and are essentially alien 20 our cul-
ture then the question is in place are they IN
the way OF our expansion or not? II not let them
develop even as their nature bids them. II they
are. 10 spare them would be folly.
Americans must remember that this
astounding doctrine, with its cynical dis
regard for both righteousness and mercy,
is accepted by great numbers of Ger
mans as the logical code of international
conduct
They are as convinced that Germany
is destined to rule the world as Ameri-
cans are of the righteousness of the i'm
mortal Declaration
And it is because so many Germans
recognize no law but that oCmight that
the war must continue to knockout

Concerning Slackers

There are two kinds Of slackers in this

After an the noise about IT, there has

Two-boys, Seymour Eaton and Charles
S Barnet, being in impaired health had
to go TO Saranac Lake. There in the
darkness of invalidism, instead of cover
ing themselves with the glooms of self
pity they have CALAMITY couched a lance
at destiny, they have lit a candle of cheer
that sends its beams far into naughty
world.
In other words, they publish little
periodical which they call the Trotty
Week Messenger For the origin Of the
name you must read Dickens The
Chimes, where you will find the descrip-
tion of Trotty Week. weak, spare old
man, who carried messages for a living,
and was manufacturer of optimism on
the side.
The Society Of Trotty Week Messen-
gers, says their booklet, was founded
by two young men who are obliged to live
in the mountains, but who believed that
the only way to conquer mountains is to
climb-and climb cheerfully."
| would like to do what ! can to help
the circulation of their little book, they
are only two for a quarter and that my
readers may know the kind Of cheer they
difTuse | subjon some of the sentences
in their Message No. 3, called Courage"
Remember the steam kettle they
say; tho up to its neck in hot water 1t
continues to sing.
Every black sheep was somebody's
pet lamb once
God created the woman beautiful and
beautiful so the men would love
them, foolish so they would love the men.
The world moves from west to east
Trotty says if you don't like it get on the
moon it goes the other way.
a man we knew had rounded out
more than ninety years when a little bit
of a windfal came to him. The first
thing he did after counting the money
was to say, Now III set out another
orchard
Opportunity knocks once at every
door but generally he is down the street
telling some one about the good chances
ne has missed
Some Of the footprints IN the sands
Of time are pointed the wrong way.
Why were the saints saints? Be
cause they we're cheerful when it was
difficult to be cheerful patient when it
was difficult to be patient; and because
they pushed on when they wanted to
stand still, and kept silent when they
wanted to talk, and were agreeable when
they wanted to be disagreeable. That
was all
There Is nothing in the world worth
doing wrong for
EVIL thoughts like green apples upset
the whole system.
Don't get discouraged. It is often the
last key that opens the lock"
And this little verse from our old
friend Spencer NJ. Free:
'Tis the human touch IN this world that counts
The touch Of your hand and mine
Which means far more 10 the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine
For shelter is gone when the night is DER.
And brehd lasts only day.
But Tho touch ~ the hand and the sound OF mo
voice
Sing on IN the soul Away"
