ate the decorations, donate the feed,
donate the invitations, donate the pro-
grams, in fact, donate everything con
nected with the entertainment, and no
charge is made for admission, or there
is nothing to sell, it ought to be clear
to all fair-minded people that then it
is perfectly fair to come to the Gazette
and ask it to donate it's services in
bringing crowd that is necessary to
make a success of the affair
How many times will it be neces-
sary for the Gazette to explain that
when thing happens it is news? An
nouncing it before it happens is plain
and simply advertising, a service the
Gazette is pleased to offer for sale at
very moderate price just the same
as merchant offers his goods for sale.
There is no more reason for the Ga
zette giving away its advertising than
there is for the merchant to stand be-
hind his counters and give away his
merchandise to all who come and ask
for it.
The Gazette is not finding fault with
anybody because the public is not to
blame. For years some newspapers
have simply gone down on their knees,
SO to speak, chased folks all over a
ten-acre lot, and begged them to car
ry away their advertising write-ups
free. Conditions have so changed that
this generosity is no longer possible

WE WONDER.

OF course, it's none of our business,
but we just can't help wondering what
there is about the female form that
keeps some of our young girls from
freezing these cold winter days. You
understand, now, that we don't know
a thing about it, but we've been told
that they just don't wear hardly any
thing. Why, only this week we heard
a girl say another girl was old fash
toned because she wore long-sleeved
pardon u.s. under-apparel. She didn't
say apparel" either, but it means
that, and the girl didn't have on that
kind. Anyway she said she didn't,
but she had on some hose that were
fully as thick as cigarette paper split
twice. We can easily see how girl
might powder her face thick enough to
keep it from freezing, and since we
don't know anything about them and
it amt any Of our business, we guess
they powder good and plenty all over
and then put on few clothes to keep
the powder from blowing off.-Ft. At

SERVICE WHILE LIFE IS.

Funny, isn't it, how one will hear
all their lives about a certain thing
and then gradually come to see the
value and the vitality of it? Take, for
instance, the talk about SERVICE"
Some good words are used almost pro-
fanely because they are good and this
word is one of them
The word Service" is used to the
point Of being bromide in the bust
ness world, but the thing itself has
come to mean something definite and
something certain. When a business
house talks Of SERVICE" it means
that it offers its customers something
beyond merely selling them goods. 1t
means that it offers courtesy, polite
ness, honest value and above all
quickness of delivery.
But there is another use for the
word-an ethical one-that is even
more broad Service in a human
sense lies at the very rock of human
relations. Service to the man who i'll
a small or large measure, loves his
fellow, rises above any condition Of
caste, race or creed. It means the in
terest in the other fellows we'll being
that will not allow you to do anything
harmful to him. 1t means strict hon
esty in your relations to him, and it
means help for him and his children
in the best way you can give it. A
realization of SERVICE" means a
realization of the brevity of life's ten
ure 1t means that no matter what
you think lies out beyond that you
know you were put here above all, for
one great purpose and that purpose is

TAXING THE LAP DOG.
madison Journal.)

(Madison Journal)
Consider the dog:
There are watch dogs and hunting
dogs, and lap dogs, and just dogs.
Now consider the dog tax; all pay
the same, and the ownerless just dog
is seized for his debt to the community
and cast into the pound, which is the
canine death cell.
Now consider France, which teaches
this country many things:
France has reduced the tax on
watchdogs and workdogs to 40 cents
year; hunting dogs pay the same old
dollar, but most Of them have joined
the army, where the pay no tax at
all.
Lap dogs, though, the fluffy pets
from China, and the hairless ships
from Mexico. the silly, pampered sug-
ar chewing, finger biting prize win
ners that sleep in silken baskets must
pay at least $40 a year to live, and
every additional lap dog, if the owner
has more than one, must cough up $40
There seems to be here the germ of
q big idea.
A tax on uSeleSSneSS!

The Old Struggle of Christ and Caesar.

w. y. DI ydu.)
There is picture that has attracted
comment wherever it has been exhibit
ed-the picture of Christ before Pill
ate. PLATE represented the power of
the Roman government, and back of
him were the legiOns of Rome. Before
PLATE, helpless, unarmed, stood the
Apostle of Love. Force triumphed;
they nailed Him to the tree, and those
who stood around Knocked and jeered
and said, "He is dead" But that in
stead of being the end, was only the
beginning. In a few centuries the
power of Christ, however, increased
until hundreds-yes, thousands Of mil
lions-have taken his name with rever-
ence upon their lips; and millions
have been ready to die rather than sur
render the faith He put into their
hearts. He has become the great fact
history, the growing figure of all time.
Today Christ and Plate again stand
face to face-Force and Love are again
striving for mastery and dominion.
The old world represents force. 1t
builds its hope Of peace on fear and
threats of violence. Each nation at
tempted to terrorize other nations in
to peace, and in their efforts they en-
gendered hatreds that ended in war
1t the nations now at war had spent
one-tenth as much trying to cultivate
friendship as they have spent in cul-
tivating hatred, there would be no war
in Europe to-day.

THE FRANK MAN.

Everybody likes frank man, one
that tells you his honest thought, one
you can rely upon when you turn your
back. But candor is not only IN word;
it is in deed and work. Many q time
will an untruth be hidden in a piece of
work, something that the person has
neglected or covered, so as to hide a
deceit. There are many of this sort of
people. They think that doing lie is
not as bad as saying one. What the
world needs in all the phases of life,
in church, in school, in society, in
journalism, in politics, are candid peo-

LARGER DEATH RATE
MORTALITY FIGURES FOR MONTH
SHOW RATE OF 1915 PER 1000
IN COUNTY-CAUSES.

A study of the vital statistics for the
period ending Jan. 20 shows a sharp
increase in the death rate over last
month when it was the highest for the
year.
It is found that majority of the
deaths, in fact eleven, come from pneu-
monia, ''the captain" of disease. 9th
ers are due to breakdown such as ne
phritis, arterio sclerosis and heart dis
ease. The reason for the increase lies
principally in the fact that winter is
a scourge to the feeble and those on
the border line OF sickness.
When cold weather and indoor liy-
ing come bad air and lack of exercise
take their toll. Those of not rugged
vitality are most liable at this time to
answer the last call. LaGrippe, which
may be called the Lieutenant of Winter
disease, has not as yet caused many
deaths. But LaGrippe is not, as rule.

The Evening Wisconsin relates a
story of how President Roosevelt is
sued the orders that built the canal
1t seems that Secretary Taft read the
order drawn up by Col. Goethals and
said that it was all right, but not in
accordance with the law on the subject.
Cocktails was told to advise the pres
ident very carefully to this effect. The
order was taken to Roosevelt who read
it carefully and asked if it's provisions
were such that the canal could be
built. He was told that this was so,
but that the secretary of war had said
the order was not in accordance with
the law. Damn the law, I want the
canal built" the president replied, and
forthwith signed the order. Then turn
ing to Cocktails, Nov go and build It."
Here comes the question Was
Roosevelt a truly great man who over
rode the obstacles he could not evade?
Was he like Alexander who cut a knot
he could not unite? Are laws made
for truly great men to break? Would
we ever have had the canal without
Roosevelt as president? Some men
say he is an anarchist because of his
impatience with what he considers as
pettifogging and the tiresome formal
tiles of a sitting legal system. 9th
ers say that he is our greatest living
American.
