farmer from the vicinity of Berthold
will be a candidate for the republican
nomination for sheriff of Ward coun-
ty.
Mr.. Watne has spent about thirty
years of his life in Ward county,

where he is still engaged in farming.
Mr.. Watne is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hans O. Watne, who have resid-
ed in the vicinity Of Carpio for the
past So years. There are no better
known pioneers in this section.

tate business in this city. S. O. Wat
ne, liver O. Watne and Ole o. Watne,

market today. The thousands Of letters
from users have convinced me was right,
and that the user of Natures Remedy as
family medicine, even though he may have
used it for twenty-five years, never has
to increase the dose.
My knowledge of medicine and the re-
suits of its use in my own family and
among my friends, before ever offered it
for sale, caused me to have great faith in
Natures Remedy from the very first.
And now as I find myself nearing the age
when I must bow to the inevitable and 60
to another life, my greatest pleasure is to
sit each day and read the letters that each
mail brings from people as old or older
than I, who tell of having used Natures
EeIneSy for ten, fifteen and twenty years,
end how they and their children and
grandchildren have been benefited by it.
It is consolin5 thought, my friends. for
a man at my age to feel that aside from
his own success, one has done something
for his fellow man. My greatest satisiac.
ton, my greatest happiness today, is tho
knowledge that tonight more than one
million people will take 8. Natures Remedy

be one OF them.

PAGEANT FOR AUGUST 4
IS WELL UNDER WAY

The pageant for Patriotic day, Aug
ust 4, in which about 200 people will
take part, is we'll under way and the
prospects appear bright for gala
day. Miss Gladys Mollart is directing
the play and urges everyone who has
not reported at their last rehearsal to
be there Thursday evening. Practice
will start promptly at o'clock at the
gymnasium of the Watertown high
school. Children aree specially urged
to be present as there are some good
parts in the play to be filled.
All are urged to be present tonight
at the high school gymnasium where
community sing will be given under
the direction of William Sproesser
This is to prepare the public for their
singing program on August 4. The
instruction will begin at o'clock.
The County Council of Defense is
arranging to have the Ninth Separate
Company, State Guard Reserve, assist
them on that day and take over the
matter of selling refreshments during

guards will get a certain percentage
of the total sales This matter will be
decided in day or two by the County
Council of Defense.

poses beneath a cloak that is bright
with the hues of an ultra-loyalty. They
are the superpatriots and none other
is entitled to credit for patriotic SER
vices without first obtaining the stamp
of their approval. "Camouf1age" has
come to be much-used and otter a
misused word but as a figure of speech
it fits their case exactly.
We confess to having little patience
with sham, particularly the. holier-
than-thou variety. This is a time for
men to do their own thinking. When
a politician assails the character and
motives of reputable official it is
we'll to inquire into his own purposes
and connections. What grudges is he
ing, who is to profit by getting the
other fellow out of his job?
Judge each man fairly and justly
by his works, not merely by what his
detractors say. Comparisons are al
ways in order and it is proper to con-
slider whether the critics would have
done better. Do their self praise and
barbed shafts of censure constitute a
better promise of reliability in the
future than does a long and honor
able record of efficiency and good
faith?
Think for yourself. Be not beguiled
by the Establishments of the profiteers
Beware of the man who assailing the
loyal, seeks to capitalize the patri-
otism of the people while politicaliz-
ing his own.-Dunn County News.

LAND OF HOLY MEMORIES
Psychological Effect OF Palestine ls
Wildly Portrayed BY Woman
Traveller Who Felt Il,

Palestine gave me psychological eX-
perience that shall never forget, Hes
ter D. Jenkins writes in "Asia." I had
not been very DESTROYS to travel there
because knew that most Of the sacred
places, such as Adams Tomb, David's
Tower, the Upper Chamber, even Cal
vary itself, were merely places tagged
by fifteenth century pilgrims with no
regard to truth. I knew that Chris
tians had quarreled scandalously over
the city, and that many superstitiOns
had usurped the name of religion, and
/ expected dirt and disillusion. But
gradually I came to recognize In the
land the setting for the wonderful life
Of Jesus and the background for the
Hebrew scriptures. AS we steamed
past Sidon and Tyre, one beautiful
summer Sunday, I felt a distinct at
mosphere quite different from that Of
Syria. It became intensified in Jerusa-
of it. And when I entered the Church
Of the Sepulcher, although knew that
Christ did not lie there, I was struck
by 1t as by wind. This emotional at
mosphere hung over the whole country.
from Jaffa to Nazareth, and only when
our train left the Sea Of Galilee did 1t
suddenly drop away.
I explained it to myself as the at
mosphere Of tears and prayers and as
pirations that had gushed forth In
this land of holy memories It seemed
to me. especially as l stood before the
spurious tomb Of Christ, that / was
bathed in the emotion Of past pilgrims.
1t is this that makes little, poor, insig-
nificant Palestine the greatest country
In the world. Men have so deeply
loved her. No city in the world has
known such abandonment of sorrow
and of ecstasy and Of prayer as has
Jerusalem.
The Watertown news. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1917-1919, 1918-07-24

Sometime after the battle of Chan
cellOrsville during the Civil war a re-
cruit from Minnesota regiment who
was found sleeping on guard, was SEN
fenced to be shot. He was confined in
a guard house in the vicinity of
Washington, d. G. Toward morning
the officer in charge of the guard was
approached by a man who asked to
see the prisoner and was admitted on
the pass he furnished What trans
pired in the guard tent only two men
knew, but when the visitor came out
he told the officer to return the man
to his regiment and make a good SOL
der OF him. The officer protested that
it was the rule of war and the man
date must be carried out. 81 am the
president, said the visitor, who was
Abraham Lincoln, who visited the lad
long past the midnight hour.
A striking example of his attitude
has been that of President Wilson,
who reviewing the judgment of the
court martial has SO far tempered the
final decision with mercy.
