TO OUR MAIL CARRIERS

1t matters not what the weather is
Howard is always ready for biz;
Be the weather foul or fair,
Howard tends his mail with care;
He does not stop for rain or snow,
This | want you all to know;
He does not fear mud or cold,
So he is carrier bold.
Be the mud thick or thin,
Howard comes without din.
In December, as in May,
We get our mail every day;
Howard tries to treat all right,
He does his duty with all his might;
Now, who can beat that?
To him we doff our hat.
Our rural boys do their part,
They are nearly always ready to

They seldom stop for rain or snow,
So, on their rounds they surely go;
They do not fear mud or cold,
To do their duty they are bold;
Their praise we like to tell,
Everybody wishes them we'll.

Obituary.

On the morning of Jan, 5, 1918,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Hawks, and took
from their loving embrace their dar-
ling baby, Clovis Neal. He was
born Nov. Is, 1914; age three years,
one month and 20 days.
All that human hands could do was
done for little Clovis Neal, but to
no avail, and after only few days
illness the little sufferer was called
to God.
In your tears, dear mother and
father, thank God that He loaned YOU
for three short years, your jewel of
purity and love, perhaps to draw you
nearer to Him.
He leaves behind his parents, two
brothers and one little sister.

FAMILY OF GERMAN
SOLDIER EVICTED.

The Committee on Public Informa-
ton has made the following trans
lation of a story appearing in the
Oct. is, 1917, issue Of the Leipziger
Volkszeitung:
"a sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought
to our attention frome upper LANCE
nau, in Selisia. One of the hired
men Of DR.. Meuller's agricultural
estate has been for long time at
the front. His wife, who had work
ed alongside her husband before the
war, after the usual custom, re-
NAMED in the ranks Of the field
hands and accordingly retained her
farm cottage. Oct. /, this woman
got the following letter:
The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as Of
this date to the field service for Jan.
l, 1918. On that day you are to
give up your house. The work which
you are doing on the farm does rot
compensate the farm for the loss
which accrues to it through the con-
tinued support of your family.
Look out for yourself away from
this farm. Your house is needed
for other use.'
"The woman communicated the
notice to her husband with these
words:
" i must tell you of my distress,
Soon / shall not be able to see the
paper for my tears. What shall l
do? Winter is at the door, and the
cottage is full of little children
"Thus the bailiff of the estate of
a bloated landlord turns a family
with eight children out of doors in
midwinter, while the man is at the
front, Comment takes care Of it's
self"

INVADER FALLS
BACK IN ITALY.
Territory on Northern Mountain Front Be-
hind Monte Tomba UntenabIe. Active
on West Front.

AS a sequel to the recent brilliant
victory of French troops against
Italy's invaders, the enemy has evac-
uated a wide stretch Of territory on
the northern mountain front behind
Monte Tomba,
From the Piave river westward
the withdrawal covers the entire re-
gion, indicating abandonment Of eff
forts to force passage of the Vene-
tian plains in this direction, at least
for a time.
Defensive works in the rear are be-
ing constructed by the enemy.
On the western front in France
and Belgium and on the Italian front
where the contending armies of the
chief beligerents in the world war
have displayed little activity for some
time, official reports announce the
resumption of hostilities of unusual
activity for winter months.
While the operations mentioned
in the statements from the various
army headquarters are of little con-
sequence from military view, yet
the general extent of the activity
indicates that developments of con-
siderable magnitude are in immediate
prospect.
The intensity Of TIE artillery fire
has increased all along the western
front and raiding parties and air
fighting have been resumed under
more favorable conditions. The sue
cess of a German raid on British
trenches west of La Bassee is an
nounced by British official communi-
cation, which claims, however, that
another hostile party was dispersed
west of Villers Guislain.
In the Newport sector the French
war office announces the recapture
of ground gained by the enemy in a
raid Wednesday morning. The state
ment also says that the artillery is
active on the Chaume wood front
and in the sector of hill 344, and
claims the failure of an enemy at
tack on the former place. During
the period from Jan. II to 20, ten

the German terms were the last we
would offer.
"We were unanimous that they
should be rejected. Final decision,
however, must rest with the soldiers
and working mems delegates.
"The congress is expected to take
up tomorrow the question of peace
or war"
Russia must give up Courland and
all the Baltic provinces or the Ger
mans will resume military operations
and occupy Reyal within a week, the
German delegation at the Brest-Lit-
ovsb negotiations informed the Rus
sian representatives at the last ses-
sion of the conference.
Reports Of the session indicate
that the Germans took definite
stand and most frankly outlined de-
mands upon which they are insist
ent. The secretary of the Ukrainian
delegation gave out an. account of
the meeting. It says the Russians
put question to the delegates of |
the central powers as to what were
their final peace terms.
Gen. Hoffman, one of the German
delegates, replied by opening map
and pointing out the following line,
which they insisted should constitute
the future frontier of Russia. From
the shores of the gulf of Finland to
the east of the Moon Sound islands
to Walk, to the west of Minsk, to
Brest-Litovsk.
This completely eliminates Cour-
and and all the Baltic provinces.
The Russians asked the terms of
he central powers in regard to the
erritory south of Brest-Litovsk.
Gen. Hoffman replied that was
question which they would discuss
'nly with Ukraine. M. Kamenoff,
/ member of the Russian delegation,
sked:
"Supposing we do not agree to
UGH conditions, what are you going
0 do?"
"Then, we would occupy Reval

HIS NORTHERN BROTHER

Just make it two, old fellow;
! / want to stand once more,
Beneath the old flag with you,
AS in the days of yore;
Our fathers stood together
| And fought on land and sea,
The battles fierce that made us
! A nation of the free.
/ whipped you down at Vicksburg
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many a field we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray of Southland,
| wore the Northern blue;
Like men we did our duty,
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like heroes;
But when the war was done
I Our hands met in friendly clasp,
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now, when danger threatens,
No North, no South we know,
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
Ny head, like yours, is frosty
Old age is creeping on;
Life's sun is lower sinking,
My day will soon be gone.
But if our country's honor
| Needs once again her son,
Pm ready, too, old fellow
So get another gun!
