SHOWER
THE JUDGE
Show Appreciation of Judge
Cole by Giving Him Walk
ing Stick, Chain and
Links.

Just to show their appreciation
the district court jury which has been
in service here for the past several
weeks, passed resolutions commend
ing Judge A. T. Cole and presented
him with handsome walking stick,
a watch chain and a set of cuff links.
The presentation came as a great
surprise to Judge Cole. In the after
noon after the converting Of the court
Judge Cole called the jury in to dis
miss it. In giving the venire its free
dom Judge Cole made a little talk
thanking the jurymen for their eff
cient services and calling attention to
many ways that cases can be kept
out Of court.
Judge Cole said that if people, in
the transaction Of their business at
fairs. would, employ a lawyer oftener
they would save money in the end and
he related the story Of a woman whom
he knew who had many contracts to
make. She had seen so many Of these
contracts for which she paid a lawyer
IS each that she believed that she was
just as well qualified for drawing a
contract as any attorney.
zone day, instead of employing a
lawyer to draw q contract she was
about to. make" said Judge Cole. "she
drew it herself. She saved her IS at
torhey's fees, but that contract cost her
$780,"
Judge Cole said that he finds that
the farmers are usually of the opinion
that it is useless to employ the servic-
es of lawyer in their business. but
that he has found that generally they
would save money in the long run by
the use of trained legal talent.
After making his talk, Judge Cole
was about to retire to his chambers
when Judge Albert B. Guptill, juvenile
commissioner, interposed and, after
few brief remarks, read the following
resolutions and then presented Judge
Cole with the cane, watch chain and
cuff links on behalf of the jury:

Herr Kunow. socialist leader Of Ham

Herr Kunow, Socialist leader Of Ham
burg, has just returned to Germany
after aseveral days stay in Denmark,
during which he endeavored to learn
the disposition Of the Russian Social
lists.
Attempts were made to establish a
contact between the German Social
lists, and the members of the Russian
political exile colony here, but in the
colony particular emphasis was laid
on the statement that it had no man
date to speak for the Russian Social
list party. For the moment the CLEAN
OF hope, aroused by the apparent dis
position Of the Russo German Social
lists to fraternize faded.
The Russians, to cite one observ-
er of the association, built a. bridge
by their first declarations, only to
knock it down by their latest enuncia-
tions. This observer added that the
final phrase in the German semi-of-
fetal comment on the interview of
Count Czernin, the Austro Hungarian
minister Of foreign affairs, suggesting
"a peace conference, shows that the
German government still is far from
offering a peace acceptable to the
entente.

representative. He had visited Ger
many during the war and conferred
with Phylipp Scheidemann and other
leaders of the Socialist party. Several
non-socialist' organs criticised him
sharply for having anything to do, in
his position as a Danish minister,
with interchanges between belliger-
ents, contending that such action was
incompatible with neutrality and COM
promising to his government.
Copenhagen has been the scene of
other more or less informal attempts
at negotiations between the Russian
and German socialists since the revo-
luton, but without tangible results.

Fragile

How many man. deep down in his heart,
knows to a certainty that he has escaped being
outcast not because of any real moral strength
resolution of his own but because Society has boil
stored him up, hedged him about with customs and
restrictions until he has had really good op
portunity to transgress. How many men in their
vanity take to themselves credit for the built-up
virtues of men who are dead! There is cause for
surprise when we hear of foremost Citizen" the
leader in all good works." suddenly gone wrong;
not the least for surprise. For it not he
that was moral, but Society. Individually he had
been tested; and when the test came he fell.
1t will give us large measure of true wisdom if we
stop sometimes when we have resisted temptation
and ask ourselves why, and why, at that moment,
we did right and not wrong. Was it the deep vir-
tue, the high ideals in souls, it the COM
pulsion of the Society around US? And l think most
of viii be astonIshed TO discover what fragile per-
sons we really are-in ourselves-David Grayson.

Blue Mondays

So many people suffer from what may be called
blue Mondays they feel distressed and debtated at
the first of the week when they should feel alive and
alert, all ready for a weeks work. Also there is
more sickness on Monday than any other day:
Monday is the doctors busiest day. Has it ever
Cured to these persons that the of the Monday
depression may be found in the hearty Sunday
dinner Surely should, after days rest be
quite fit Monday morning. Yet at this time no
small per cent of persons habtually find themselves
below par in every way.
If we look into the matter carefully we will find
that most persons counterfeit the good effect of their
rest and recreation by some sort of body abuse,
usually stomach abuse In other words. it would
seem that most persons to have good time, must be
overeating overindulging in some way. When
overworked business man goes on vacation he
selects a hotel resort where the eats are
abundant; if he goes on fishing trip bottle or two
and a good supply of tobacco in the fishing outfit
will rob the trip of much of the real benefit 1t is
no wonder that so many men have not had
vacation in twenty years and still remain we'll
and strong.
There is no objection to fairly hearty dinner on
Sunday hearty lunch when picnic; there is
question but what we can digest more food when
we resting out in the open. But let us
make these meals of food that can be easialy
digested, real food. Chicken is a good food but the
stuf6ng or dumplings practically indigestbe.
Vegetables when properly cooked are easily digested
and nutritious, but pie cake and other heavy
desserts indigestible and frequently cause the
entire meal to go wrong" Similarly cake, pickles
and other indigestbles often rob the picnic of its
real value.-By DR.. R. R. Daniels

for an editor to add footnotes so the reader will
understand their meaning) ale really displaying
