control We wonder II they have ever
gotten acquainted with one get-rich-
quick gentleman, Townley?
We doubt Il Hanna or any Of the old
school politicians were ever as rank
in their arbitrary grasping Of public
patronage as the present administra-
ton? Thousands of farmers paid 50
each to get away from such politics.
Here is what one of those farmers has
to say:
II have never been q very rabid
Townleyite myself. Last spring got
on the band wagon. so to speak. But,
after l had received few of the pa
pers, thought it was the cartoons and
the logic that was making the paper"
Il am very glad to say that for one
like the stand you take against the
Leader. l always read your editorials,
and appreciate them"
Don't you think that Townley is ex-
plotting the farmers at the present
time, SIG from each man? And who
gets the money? That puts it over
Big Big mile"

At the present time the United States
is practically at war with Germany.
Diplomatic relations have been severed
for some time. American ships have
been armed and their commanders or
dered to sink German submarines on
sight. Germany has given it out that
she will declare war Immediately after
the first shot is fired ut one of her
submarines. Congress has been sum-
moned to meet April I'd. The navy is
being placed on war footing. Ma
tional guard units in all the states are
being called to the colors. AS yet it
seems almost impossible to appreciate
all this implies.
There has never been war in which
the United States engaged that there
were not those who attempted to ham,
per the government. We had thou
sands of that class in the Revolution.
Hundreds of patriots were brought to
their death through the agency of that
class of Colonists that refused to sup
port the new government. In the
Civil War, there was the peace at any
price crowd in the north. When the
clouds were darkest the sad spectacle
of men gathering together and formal
ly voting the war failure was pre-
;sented to the world. Now, with the
die cast in the present crisis, history
will no doubt repeat itself.
We must needs feel sympathy for
German born Americans, perhaps
with relatives in the enemy armies.
But, in the Civil War brother was pit
ted against brother under far more har
rowing circumstances than the present
conflict will permit. We must feel
gratified to see the staunch American
spirit of many of those people who
live in our midst. To the thoughtless
who would cause needless trouble by
doing what they can to hamper the
course of our government, we can only
hope their sense of honor will prompt
them to do the right thing. "Don't
bite the hand that's feeding you" We
are not British, we are not German.
We are American citizens. Let our ac-
tions prove it before the world.
And, above all do not listen to the
selfish mortal who would temporarily
gain the spotlight by playing upon
iyour feelings We are American cit
liens. When the devil attempts to
whisper tempting words in your ears.
show him in unmistakable terms that
you will do as we'll by your government
as you would expect the Germans in
Germany to do by theirs.

The spectacle of one man in little
village selling twcnty-three silos al
ready this spring should mean a great
deal to the people of this county. The
|silos will make wonderful difference
in the future of the community. Wheat
crop prospects will cease to worry us
when those silos get to working. The
dairy cow is the surest harbinger of
prosperity and success known to man
in this county and state. Now comes
the Linton Bazaar with an additional
implement for wrestling success from
nature. They have on display one of
the most modern and successful of
milking machines. A demonstration
of its adaptability should silence any
doubter, When the silo and the milk
ing machine are in general use in EN-

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
l have been looking for location for
general produce house to buy butter,
eggs, cream, poultry, hides, furs and
such and would like to have a little in
formation about your town.
How large a place is Linton and on
what lines of railroad? How many
general stores that handle butter and
eggs? Is there a creamery there?
l intend to put in full line of flour
and feed if there is an opening.
Is there lots of cream and eggs to be
bought there? Do you think bust
ness of this kind would pay there?
How about school and churches? Am
very much interested in both.
We buy direct from the farmer and
pay cash every day for what we buy,
ana tn, highest prices at all times.
Any information you can give me
will be thankfully received.
Respectfully,

Another city election will soon be
upon us. The little city is making
strides in the race of progress. Let
us all do our share in furthering its
best interests. Men should b. elected
who will give their best efforts for the
welfare of the town. The man who
would play upon your personal feel
ings or your nationality has not the
moral fibre to make good city official.
He would make fool of you for your
vote. The question to be decided in
choosing officials is whether or not this
or that candidate will play fair by all
men. Has he done SO? Will he do so
if elected? It matters not whether his
ancestors came from one or the other
the old countries. We are all Amer
leans, and may the best man win.
