Luke McLuke Says

Before he gets her he would lay down his life for her. After he gets her, he won't lay down his newspaper for her.
 You can always take a chance. But you can't always put it back where you found it.
 The old shioned mother who lived on farm had to get half dozen kids ready for school, fix breakfast for ten, clean the house, feed the chickens, warm milk for the calves, work the churn, feed the hogs, put big dinner on the stove wash the dishes and mend some clothes before noon, now has a married daughter who lives in a flat in the city and who has a hard time getting up in time to attend the picture show every afternoon.
 One man can lead another man to drink when a million men couldn't drive him away from it.
 Women marry either for love. money or home. But it has always been a mystery why men marry.
 When married man is caught with the goods, he is prone to blame the oth- CT woman for dragging him into it and his wife for nagging him into it.
 There are all sorts of women in this world. including the woman who isn't happy unless she is unhappy
 What has become of the old-fash toned man whose wife and whose affin- ity were the same person?
 The Good Fellow When He Had It is now discovering that his former cronies are always busy or broke when he rms across thpm
 After a man has been married long enough he gets too wise to hide his money in the toe of his shoe or the sweatband of his hat. and hunts other places. Sometimes he hides his monoy so well after tapping up a little too much joy juice that he experiences the pleasant sensation of waking in the morning and wondering where the Hek he put his coin. And he dassen't ask his wife if she found it anywhere. That would be dead give away.
 We don't mind the girl who cant keep her feet still when she hears mu- sic. But we draw the line on the girl who keeps time with the orchestra with her jaws when she is chewing gum.

Cannot Take Word of Kaiser.

The test, therefore, or every plan or ,eace is this: Is it based upon the aith of all the peoples involved or merely upon the word of ambitious md intriguing government onI the one ,and, and of a group of free peoples n the other?
 This is a test which goes to the oot of the matter; and it is the test which must be applied.
 The purposes of the United States n this war are known to the whole vorld--to every people to whom the ruth has been permitted to come.
 They do not need to be stated again.
 We seek no material advantage of ny kind.
 We believe that the intolerable vrongs done in this war by the furious nd brutal power of the imperial Gov rnment ought to be repaired, but not t the expense of the sovereignty of my peopIe-rather vindication of the sovereignty both of those that are weak and those that are strong.
 Punitive damages, the dismemberment ,m empires, the establishment of sell ish and exclusive economic leagues, ve deem inexpedient and in the end worse than futile, no proper basis for peace of any kind, least of all for n enduring peace.
 That must be based upon justice and airness and the common rights of mankind.
 We cannot take the word of the pres mt rulers of Germany as a guaran- ee of anything that is to endure un- explicitly supported by such con- lusive evidence of the will and purpose f the German people themselves as he other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting.
 Without such guarantee. Urea ties of 'ettlement agreements for disarma- nent, covenants to set up arbitration in he place of force. territorial adjust nents, reconsttutions of small nations, made with the German government, man. no nation could no now de- bend on.
 We must await some new evidence of he purposes of the great peoples of the 'entral powers
 God grant it may be given soon and way to restore the confidence of Ill peoples everywhere in the faith nations and the possibility of -ovenanted peace.

 An instance was brought to attention which shows our indifference Recently the Delegate took the matter of supplying several outlying postofces Tn Alaska with half respectable mail service Among the places that attention is the office at Hyder After having succeeded in attracting the attention of the offlclas at Washington with his pea he turned Tor assistance to an Alaskan, who unntenonaly per- maps but nevertheless blocked action, temporarily at least Hyder is small place and only very little mall goes there: yet if want settle the coun- try, the government should encourage settlers with at least decent mail service.

It is manifest that no part of this out unless the restitution of the sta tus quo ante bellum furnishes firm and satisfactory basis for it.
 The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world iron the menace and the actual power of {. vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government. which having secretly planned to dominat, the world proceeded to carry the plar out without regard either to the sa- cred obligations of treaty or the long established practices and long cherish ed principles of international action ant honor; which chose it's own time fol the war, delivered it's blow ffercely an6 suddenly, stopped at barrier either of law or of mercy swept a whole continent within the tide of blood not the blood of soldiers only, but tn, blood of innocent women and childreI also. and of the helpless poor-and now stands baked but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world.

FULL TEXT OF PRESIDENTS REPLY TO THE POPES
 PEACE NOTE.

The foIIowinq Is the full text of Pres ident Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals:
 Every heart that has not been blinded and hardened by this terrible war must be touched by this moving appeal of his holiness, the Pope; must feel the dignity and force of the humane and generous motives which prompted it and must fervently wish that we might take the path of peace he so persuasively points out
 But it would be folly to take it if it does not in fact lead to the goal he proposes.
 Our response must be based upon the stern facts and upon nothing else
 It is not a mere cessation of arms he desires; it is a stable and enduring peace
 This agony must not be gone through with again and it must be matter of very sober judgment what will insure us against il.
 His holiness, in substance, proposes that we return to the status quo ante bellum and that then there be a gen eral conformation, disarmament and concert of nations, based upon an ac- ceptance of the principle of arbitration; that by a similar concert freedom Of the seas be established; and that th' territorial claims of France and Italy the perplexing problems of the Balkan states and the restitution of Poland b. left to such conciiatory adjustments may be possible in the new temper O such peace due regard being paid to the aspirations of the peoples whose po- litical fortunes and affiliations will be in yoIypd

Fully hundred persons turned out
to assist in the work on the athletic
field at the new high school yesterday,
and practically every truck in town
was engaged hauling cement gravel
from the claims owned by Joe Taber
and Herbert Sproule on the Lamoille
road. The cement was contributed as
was the service of the trucks.
1t was jolly crowd and every per
son worked with a will. About forty
loads were hauled in on the trucks
and the county tractor with five trail
ers made one trip. AS each trailer
carried about three tons il will be
seen that a good deal of shoveling and
spreading was done.
Roy Corbett proved that he is a
shOvelman of no mean ability. He
nearly covered up two or three trucks
so he was put to shoveling into the
trailers. That held him for a while.
II was unanimously decided that a
good ranch hand was spoiled when he
