TOO Much War

The newspaper reader sometimes
asks himself, and he sometimes asks
the newspaper edito@only less po-
litely-if it isn't possible to print
something that isn't all about the war.
The war is to blame; not the editor.
In Alice in Wonderland" runs the
verse =
The time has come. the Walrus said
ITO talk of many things;
Of shoes, and ships. and sealing wax,
And cabbages, and kings"
This was written a generation or
two before the war, and the collected
subjects were intended to be mis-
cellaneous, and nonccntroversial
Try to pick one Of them that isn't
a war-topic now. Shoes and ships
remind us sadly of war-prices; seal
ing-waX recalls Il certain Hague
treaty-now a scrap Of paper; while
cabbages and kings have dug them
selves in on the front page.
Don't blame the poor editor. The
mailed fist hits you no harder than it
hits him.

Since Lancaster has become a thor
oughfare town for cross-state motor
ing, it would add to the convenience
of the motorists, and TO the orderly
appearance of our streets to place
neat markings at our crossings.
Until the recent placing of a guide
post, travellers usually motored some
distance down Hill Court thinking
they were heading for Lexington.
Eastern villages on much travelled
routes, cater to the interest Of visit.
ors with attractively designed signs,
giving warning of railways and ian
gerous turns ahead, and also point
ing out places of interest. The
words welcome" and Come Again"
give sense of agreeable acquaint-
anee with the town.
Semaphores placed at the inter-
section Of the four streets on the
public square, asking all to keep to
the right" would fiji long felt want
and lessen the confusion which is
seen most every day especially on
Saturday and county Court days
If we are not mistaken the preceding
city council ordered these semaphores
made and erected and we suggest
that the present council carry out the
suggestion as the cost will be very
limited

The drive for the fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin in Garrard
County by a speech at the
Court House on County Court
Day by DR.. R. H. Crossfeld,
president of Pennsylvania Uni
versity. This is the largest
loan that our Government has
ever undertaken to float. Gar
rard County's portion has not
yet been determined, but it is
estimated at this time to be
about three hundred thousand
dollars. 1t is entirely within
the ability of our County to
loan the Government this or
even a larger sum than this at
this time. 1t may require some
sacrifice on the part of many of
our citizens, but we, who
are at home, are willing to
make sacrifice with the same
heroic spirit that characterizes
our boys at the front. We
have our chairman and leaders
in this drive, but the individuals
of our County should all I'M
derstand that this is every
body's work and each one owes
a special duty not only to buy
the bonds but to help induce
their neighbors to do likewise.
Just how much the Government
needs your work and interest
at this time it is unnecessary to
relate. But if you want to do
your whole duty in this drive
we enjoin upon you to be at the
Court House next Monday and
hear DR.. Crossfeld's address
and volunteer your services to
Mr.. b. +. Hudson, our chair
man and under his leadership
let each man and woman
pledge himself and herself to
do their part. Let Garrard
County be the first in the State
to subscribe its quota in the
fourth Liberty Loan. Garrard
County will not be a Stacker
and why not be the first to sub
scribe since we know now that
we are going TO raise the quota.

A TRIBUTE.

We instinctively lament the van
ishing 81 type long loved and adj
mired. In the removal by death from
among us OF Mrs. Maria kinnaird
Kirby We are reminded how few are
left us Of the "old school" gentle
women. those dear. gracious women.
sympathetic and devoted, with ten
derness that increased with our dis
tress. In those days Of large famil-
les where was much to do with heart
and by hand, when hospitality was
large and enduring, spirit of loving
service was engendered in childhood
In that period, too, of much in
equality of wealth, Of no organized
charities and no trained nursing. to
the women Of the leading families
fell much Of the responsibility of
looking after neighbors in sickness
and Of persons in distress. Such
constant appeal to the nobler side of
human nature developed characters
very rich and mellow,
Whenever one CHANGED to see Mrs.
Kirby making her way down a side
street with basket upon her arm
one knew she was doing what her
fore mothers had done generations
before her.--visiting the afflicted
with gift to cheer. So in the re-
moyal OF Mrs. Kirby one feels dis
tinct loss, certain flavor gone from
our social life, spirit born Of earlier
days of fine and generous people

Letter in the New York Sun.
Some Of YOU readers may recall tho
days. many years ago. Of the 'Grecian'
Bend" when the ultraswell young lad
les of the city assumed q posture that
can be likened only to that of q KAN
CARGO with a pain in its stomach. ana
wen mincing along the fashionable
promenade. to the accompanying jeers
OF the rabble. To my mir there has
been nothing more absurd in the entire
life Of New York than the ridiculous
posture of the women In the days when
they affected the "Grecian bend" The
popular promenades in those days were
Broadway from about Bond to Four
tenth street. with Grace church as the
center; Union Square, Madison Square,
where lived Flora McFlimsey. and, Of
course. Fifth avenue below Fourteenth
street.
The song The Grecian Bend" rend-
cred by some blackface individual who
accentuated the absurd posture and
.trotty trot" of the devotee and burles-
qued the fashionable toggery OF the day,
did more to kill the affection than any
thing else, and, as 1 recall 1t, both the
press and the pulpit made the attempt
and failed.
