"Aunt Martha" inquired the young
lady, after watching the work OF the

BEATEN FOR TALK
Rev. Toresmeyer Of Lake City Chose
an Inopporture Time to Show
His Lack Of Patriotism.

LAKE VIEW, April 9-George Auen
couldn't control his patriotism Friday
while listening to a proGerman min.
ister express his opinions of the presi-
dent Of the United States and other
war matters in general with the result
that his trusty fist planted itself on
the nose of the said minister, doing
considerable damage.
While at the residence of E. J..
Droer, east of town, he met Rev. Tones
meyer, pastor of the Carnavon German
Presbyterian church, who among other
things, remarked that it was strange
that Prcsiden. Wilson was not at the
front himself. and thai this was but Il
Wall Street war. and even though our
soldier boys NIGH. come back home,
they would come back lot Of cripples
etc. This was too much and Georges
good right hand laid the minister low
with the result that he HE'D himself
to the barn and hid until Mr.. Auen
was safely in the distance.

"sETTER BLIND THAN DEAF
Former Addiction Is Less Hard
to scar.

| Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
| sight, but that, much in excess Of that
! sense, it excites feelings-that Is,
! sound pure and simple has a specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that Of sight.
Its primary effect was the creating
Of moods, Margaret Baldwin writes In
the Atlantic magazine. This being so,
| the simple fact is that sound has far
more to do fundamentally with origin
| ating our emotions, or how we feel from
| day to day, than has what we see.
1t should be said in passing, that
there is very little recognition Of this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are so inter.
| woven for him that he does not dis
eliminate as to what belongs intrinsl'
cally to each in the province of feel
ings. 1t is only when the two are
clearly separated, as in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
Of what belongs to the one and the
other.
A scientific writer po;ats sui that we
can see with indifference the with.
ings Of suffering animal that is still,
but that, it there are cries OF pain, 1t
produces emotions at once. We arc
distressed. In reports of terrible lna-
rine disasters, it Is almost never said
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw, but always that
they can never forget the cries Of the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
to say that the excess Of the blind
mans calamity over that of the dear
man is sufficient to Overbalance this
elemental function Of sound to pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.

California Has Jap Village.

Few people realize that in the United
States there is village composed en-
tirely OF japanese, who live their lives
just as they did before leaving the
Tlowery Kingdom. This quaint spot OF
interest is north Of the long pier. u
mile from Santa Monica, Cal. Here Is
the home of number Of Japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
and the daily routine of their lives
are carried out as though the little vii
luge were on the far shore of Nippon.
On Sundays are to be seen the native
sports Of the Japanese. The geislla
girls serve tea and bonbons to visitors,
while the young men display their
prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other Oriental pastimes.-Los Angeles

TO hit THE eocHEs HARD

WASHINGTON, D. e., April 9-The
first official indication that the gov
eminent hoped to raise more than
SO, O0O, 100000 from the third Liberty
loan came today in treasury state
ment asking that the country sub
scribe three or four times that amount
and furnish 100000 subscribers,
double the number of the fist loan.
The statement authorized by Secre-
tary McAdoo from Raleigh, N. G.,
where he spoke today, said:
Let US not stop when we have
reached our quota. Let US 90 forward
and make the quota three or four times
as great, If it is possible to do it, and
let US at the same time make the num-
Der OF subscriptions to these bonds
three times as great as it was before.
There is no answer that will carry
such encouragement to the ncmies OF
America and OF civilization as that
100000 American citizens have sub
scribed this time for Liberty bonds"

TRAINING FOR SHOW ANIMALS
Work Is an Art and Requires consid.
cradle Experience to Get Them
at Best Advantage.

1t is always Il mistake to show ani-
mails that have not been properly
trained. This may easily be done by
taking a little time each day to get
the animals to stand properly and go
where directed. This work is an art,
and it requires considerable experi-
ence to make an animal show to best
advantage. Before show time the ani-
NAL will require considerable exercise
and this may be had by leading, which
will also help to train the animals to
respond to guidance with grace.

Chief Executives and the Press.

When John Adams became president,
in 1897, he was even more severely at
lacked in the press than Washington
had been. But his administration
fought the attacks. Armed by the
sedition law, which was passed the
following year, it sought to annililate
the papers which it could not force to
surrender. In the fight, which lasted
four years, the people rallied to the
support of the papers and defeated
Adams in the election of $500 by put
ting Thomas Jefferson in the presiden-
tial chair.
