Chief Justice Hill of the supreme
court of Georgia said in Rumsey
against Billiard: "All the judges of
this court, being to the manner born,
are willing to take judicial cognlzance
of fact which as individuals they all
well know, that in Georgia TO call a
man Il liar, even without raising a
stick, usually provokes breach of the
peace, and most generally brings on a
fight. There may be exceptions to this
rule, but they are rare exotics. and find
little nourishment In our Southern soil
and beneath our Southern skies"

OF course | want to help. That's ALL
"What do the folks at home thinl
of the WARP" asked.
Jimmy's face faded, and his blue
eyes were very serious.
"They want to know when it will
be over he said. THAT'S been their
one question ever since we got into
it--and they make me sick. That's a
fine way to go into a fight-shouting
over your shoulder every two seconds
to ask if anybody knows how soon it
will end. It's all right for the poor
devils who have been suffering for
three years to wonder about the finish,
but for us who haven't begun to suf-
fer
"The American people heard abolt
our entrance into the war just as they
came out of movie theater and were
about to step into a motor car TO
dash off somewhere for a fox trot.
And as soon as they decided that the
thing was inevitable, they began to
cry aloud: "How soon will it end?
Will it end before we have to make
any sacrifices-before we lose our
profits, before we know hunger and
and pain?' That was
their first reaction, and they're just
beginning to get over it.
"Ill tell them when it will end-it
will end when the men who trampled
down Belgium and France, who muir
dered people like cattle, who ruined
the fruit trees and burned the homes
1T will end when those men feel the
grip of the world at their threats. 1t
will end when the crowd who started
this war of lust and loot are in full
retreat, when Willie down at Verdun
is shouting to papa at Berlin: Come
for Gods sakep and papa up at Ber-
lin is screaming to Willie at Verdun,
Run, for Gods sakep 1t will end
with the siege of the Rhine
"That's when it will end if it's left
TO us fellows who are going over.
We're ready to stand in ice water up
70 our waists, to live with the rats
n a rain of German shells, to go over
he top and be finished. Nobody need
worry about our boys over there. But
low about the bunch left over here
he crowd that want to know how soon
t will end? Are they going to queer
rs? Will they fall for the German
ricks? Will the pacifists turn their
Hood to water? Only one thing can
10 for us-and that isn't the German
lrmy. It's our own people at home.
Maybe some guy in Terre Haute will
ret tired putting Scent stamps on
is letters. Maybe some fellow IN
cleveland will get sick of the graham
read. Maybe some fat little soul in
)enver will get to worrying about his
rofits. And they'll come together
nd decide that it's no use fighting to
finish-and where will we be? Done
Or, licked, finished; thousands of dead
Or nothing-all because the people

Dual Debate

The dual debate between the
Denison and Missouri Valley high
schools was a decided success.
The manner in which the debators
presented their arguments, the
thorough preparation shown in
the preparation of the material,
testify to the fact that the stud
ents and debating coaches of both
schools, had delved deeply into
the live question of governmental
ownership of railways.
Our affirmative team consist
ing of Floyd Gibson, Avery Hall,
and Louise Chaloupka, represent
ed our school at Denison. Princi-
pal Ashton who has been doing the
Icoaching, accompanied the team
to Denison. The home team CON
sisting of Hazel Sudduth, Don. r.
Williams and Otto Chaloupka
competed with John Wesley, Ro
yal Strand and Ruth Silletto, foe
honors in the high school audi
forum. Our crowd was unusuallA
small yet the keen attention o.
those present showed that they
were enthusiastically interested
i'm the arguments produced. The
debates at both places were such
as to reflect credit and honor up
on the students and coaches OF
both schools.
The judges of the contest were
Supt. Brennan of Mondamin, C.
II. Prichard of Council Bluffs, and
Grace Reams OF Logan. The deci-
sion at home resulted in a two to
one vote in favor of Missouri VAL
ley, while the verdict of the judges
lat Denison was two to one in their
favor.

sarkless Dogs for Tho Red Cross.

The Journal of Osteopathy this
month tells about a French officer
visiting DR.. Still, the kirksville
surgeon and asking him TO fur
I4isb the technique or description
of The proper operation upon dogs
that they could not bark for the
Red Cross work has been injured
and interfered with because the
dogs could not be relied upon,
from their training not to bark.
They have been operating upon
the mules at the front so they
could not bray but it is so differ
ent from the bark of a dog, they
asked his assistance how to oper
ate. This operation has frequent
ly been done upon the dogs used
in the experimental laboratories
at kirksyille, and is now used in
France. The Journal also tells OF
a visit to Kirksville by private
peat and wife. Private Peat is Il
most grateful and appreciativc
booster for Osteopathy, which
has done so much to restore his
health within the past year.

Notice to Tho Public

The Local Fuel Committee, OF
Harrison County, have been noti-
fled by the National Fuel Admin
istrator, to urge ali coal con-
sumers to fill up their coal bins
at the earliest possible date with
enough coal TO cover their needs
for the next twelve months. First
with soft coal and just as soon as
the hard coal can be procured the
hard coal bin, also. The statement
of the National Fuel Administra-
ton is to the effect that next win
ter it will be practically impos-
sible to get coal at any price. Now
this statement is not made to
scare people, but to give them
due and timely notice to the end
that we may avoid suffering in
this country next winter. Farm
ers are urged to use all the wood
and cobs possible instead of coal,
selling their surplus, if any, to
the town people.
All public buildings, such as
churches, school buildings, Court
houses and lodge rooms, etc., are
urged to buy and store enough
for their next winters use.
The Local Fuel Committee urge
this matter upon the citizens OF
this country.
